Bones writers, I am putting you on notice. I love Booth and Brennan. I think they're like Mulder and Scully with less angst and anthropology instead of aliens. But I've had it with all the anvils. The "Booth and Brennan are in love with each other but are too oblivious/dense/scared to do anything about it" thing is played out, and each week of some outside character, whether it's Angela, Sweets, Gordon Gordon, or now Booth's grandfather, it gets a little bit more annoying. Just have them get together and try to write an interesting story about them trying to sort out their personal and professional relationship now that they're a couple. Mmkay?

That being said, Booth's grandfather was a hoot. Also, I basically want all of Brennan's clothes. And her mad genius skillz.

I want her jewellery.

I kind of like the build-up, I have to say. The explanation that came out of his conversation with Gordon Gordon as to why Booth doesn't want to force things made sense to me. And there was even a bit of movement on Brennan's part this week - she may finally be getting a clue. Squee!

Bones has really returned to form recently - I even like all the revolving door interns now :D

I just hope she gets a clue sooooon. (Because I am impatient!) But really, it's just the anvils more than the build up that bothers me.

Yeah, I was surprised that I actually like the interns this season too! They feel more like actual people now instead of weirdo of the week. Daisy and Brennan geeking out together about the mummy was a great moment. I wonder if there's eventually planning to settle on one, or if they'll just continue with this?

The anvils are sort of the point though, aren't they? Brennan is soooo dense that everyone around her is shaking their heads in disbelief that only she can't see it. I don't feel like it's trying to hammer it home to the audience so much because Booth's feelings are completely out in the open. It was so sweet last week when he said, "She's not in love with me. I'd know if she was." It's like proper, olde-timey courtly love...*melts*

If you'd asked me last season which intern I'd pick (given the choice), I'd have said Wendell in a heartbeat, because he's cute and I'm shallow. But since the season 5 finale, it's Mr Nigel-Murray all the way (he was awesome in Mad Men too). But I do like all of them, so I hope they keep it like this, and I *never* thought I'd say that!

You do have a good point about Booth's feeling being out in the open. It seems like in most shows they'll leave two characters acting inexplicably dense for years. At least it's actually in character for Bones to be emotionally dense.

Last season I would've picked Wendell as well, but now I just can't make up my mind. They've all got things I really like about them! You know what I enjoyed? The awkward tag-team of Mr. Nigel-Murray and Zack in last season's finale. Sadly, that'll probably be their only team up. (And I haven't seen him in Mad Men yet, so that's something to look forward to when I get around to watching season 3!)

I'm totally with you on the anvils thing. Though, I do think that the eps with Gordon Gordon and Pops were great, and not as anvil-like as the others (maybe because they seemed to be contributing to the eventually-getting-together story arc).

And I also want her clothes, and jewelry. (btw, she was a doctor in My Sister's Keeper, and it was kinda cool, but weird, cuz the doc, who wasn't around for long, was pretty much Brennan, but with an MD instead)

Yes, there is the upside to all this... it really does seem like they're leading us somewhere, and hopefully in the near future. And any episode with Gordon Gordon is awesome.

I had no idea she was in that! Interesting. When I was at home, we were flipping through the cable and found some random horror movie she was in. Being at my mom's, I must say, is fabulous for Bones-watching, because my mother DVRs every single episode that runs.
