~~BONES SPOILERS~~
(not that a ton of y'all watch it, but just in case)
What the hell happened here, people? You literally had my heart breaking last week. I thought I was going to jizz myself at 7:59 tonight, waiting for that last minute to count down.
Now, let's get real- I never actually thought that Booth and Brennan were going to end up in bed together for real. Even the writers aren't that stupid, I just kind of feel insulted that they thought we would buy it.
Not that I didn't come up with every scenerio possible that would lead them to that outcome. My favorite being Brennan, completely out of character and hopelessly romantic, is there by Booth's side as he comes out of surgery and the sheer excess of emotion causes her to realize that, yes she wants to have a baby, but not just by him, but with him. He recovers while she cooks for him at his apartment. Wine, linguini, dorky flirting leads to the bedroom.
Yes. I know. Excuse the hopeless romantic. You may puke over there in my trash can.
But, the writers did what I knew they would do. Hello, drug-induced dream. So wonderful how easily that works out, huh?
This would have worked a season ago. But you cannot build up an audience's emotional attachment to a relationship and then give us this. Booth is madly in love, wants to marry Brennan, have a baby with her, blah blah blah. We get it. Now either shit or get off the pot! Or, keep building. Don't expect to satisfy with this dream-state episode, especially for a season finale.
I'm sorry if I wanted a teary Brennan. I'm sorry if I wanted Sweets to be their psychologist. I'm sorry if I wanted to see Angela and Hodgey continue to spark like they have been. I'm sorry if I wanted dinners at Booth's and pie at the diner and relationships continuing to deepen and create more problems to be solved and more drama to deal with. I'm sorry if I expected more of the writers in this episode.
And while it was fun, seeing what roles Booth's subconscious filtered the ENTIRE gang into, it was all just a tired way to get Booth and Brennan married, expecting, and into bed. Clever with the bar thing, guys. The Lab? Nice. Oh, and lo and behold, we'll have Motley Crue play as a visiting band at this bar, taking up an entire 4 minutes that could have been spent with the ACTUAL Booth and Brennan.
If we were going to drudge our way through this "creative" season finale and make excuses for Booth and Brennan to be together, we needed to see a little bit more SEX!!! Damn, it was just the beginning of the episode and a few kisses in between. Dude, if you're going to make me sit through this sad excuse for a up-until-now-fantastic season finale, you gotta have Bones up against a wall or something. SLIP HER A LITTLE TONGUE! Lord, what do I have to do to make y'all screw?
le sigh
And THEN, we get to spend two minutes with the actual Booth and Brennan and whadda know? Coming out of surgery, in a coma for four days, how is Booth doing? Healthy enough, but he's got amnesia.
Original, guys.
so proud.
ugh!
The writing was... spectacular. With such gems as, "I'm a bartender. I'm practically a psychologist" and "How do any crimes get solved, with everyone lying? I'm glad we own a bar and don't solve crimes."
ReplyDeleteWhat. The. Fuck.
Also, they forced me to sit through Motley Crüe, who I hate... thanks, guys, thanks.
And in the grand finale, the amnesia. Wow, let's throw in every shit plot device we can in an attempt to slow down the momentum of Booth and Brennan's relationship (because heaven for fucking bid they should actually ADVANCE said relationship).
I'm pissed.
Where did my hyphens go? That should say heaven for-fucking-bid... hyphens are necessary. I hope these ones show up.
ReplyDeleteHowever, might I add Sweets sang adorably? Because he did.
