Booth/Brennan shipper videos this week, I was looking forward to tonight's Bones episode like crazy. And the payoff was A-MAZING. Granted, the case was a little predictable. I thought it was the chiropractor the second we saw him. But I was still hanging on every moment of this episode. Angela and Roxy broke up (Finally! That little homewrecker was standing in the way of my darling Hodgins being with the woman who is so clearly meant for him). Case in point: he consoled Angela with some wonderful storage closet lovin'. Now, I know they won't get back together/get married/have brilliant, artistic babies right away, but they're on the road. Time to rebuild their relationship one adorable moment at a time.We also met a new intern tonight- nerdy but sweet Muslim guy. I am still enjoying the rotation of interns. I like certain things about each of them. Random fact guy is hilarious, as is depressed emo guy. And the blonde one is cute. I think we're due for another annoying-girl-that-nobody-likes episode, especially since she has been dating Sweets for a while and we need to see how things have progressed. I would say that I think showrunner Hart Hanson needs to pick a permanent intern, but I guess we all agree with Dr. Brennan that nobody could replace Zach. Why even try? Speaking of whom, I could not be more thrilled by the news that Eric Millegan and Ryan O'Neal will be reprising their roles as Zach and Max in the season finale.
And, most importantly, tonight's episode laid the foundation for potential procreating between Booth and Bones. The news that the two of them were going to end up in bed together this season was announced many months ago. As tv-scoopers like Ausiello and Kristen have been finding out the details of this future encounter, we have learned that Bones starts thinking that she wants a child. And, logically speaking, Booth is a good genetic match for her because of their complementary traits. Well, I am of course excited to see all of this play out, and tonight was the beginning. The murder victim was a high school girl who had gotten pregnant. Most of the girls on her volleyball team had also gotten pregnant. They all had a vision in which they were free from the pressures of parents, school, and boys. By combining their money, they could simply find a house somewhere and raise their kids together. One kid in particular helped several of the girls achieve this dream. Played by Spencer Breslin, this boy thought he was scoring big because he had gotten 4 of the girls pregnant and didn't have to do anything else. So at the end of the episode, Bones and Booth are having a drink and talking about the responsibilities of parenthood. Booth realized that he needed to have a guy talk with the baby daddy and tell him that he has to be a man and take care of his children or he will be a loser his entire life (the conversation actually came off much sweeter). Meanwhile, Bones stood outside watching her wonderful, heroic partner, and you could see in her eyes that she realized something about him.
I must admit that, after Bones was over, I made a conscious decision to watch the new episode of Grey's Anatomy instead of The Office. I know, it's shameful. But...I really wanted to see the face transplant surgery that Sloan was doing. And, quite honestly, I am really into the storylines right now.
The series finale of Battlestar Galactica airs tomorrow, following episode 6 of Dollhouse, which is the one that Joss said will blow us away. Echo and Ballard come face-to-face for the first time! I'm so anxious I can hardly wait! And BSG, don't even get me started. It has been one frakking hell of a ride.
