You know that feeling you get when your waiting for something, and then after its done, you feel terrible? I had that. That is; until I read the recap. I was so freaked before it started, wondering if them getting together would mean this was the last season. Then I was freaked afterwords wondering if they weren’t EVER going to get together. If had stopped to think, I might have realized that a TV show will inevitably put them together, but I forgot that these weren’t real people, I was busy yelling at the TV. But after I read this, I felt much better about the future of the show. I’m still super freaked about Brennan and Booth (him – with another girl? This will not go well!) My theory is that they will do some shows about another girl in his life, sort of rebound, and then Brennan gets jealous and after some big thing where Bones sends the girl packing, Booth starts to work on “changing” her – starting with having her explain why if she doesn’t/cant love him, why was she so jealous? All this nudging on Booth’s part, will mostly be cute and funny until the season’s end, is my guess.
I suppose I’ll have to read more comments/reviews and go watch it a few more times…….Damn you Bones, show and character…..DAMN YOU.
such a great episode! and completely heartbreaking! i was hyperventilating when they kissed in the flashback and i literally fell out of my seat during the last scene and watched the last 3 minutes on the floor (no lie) lol sooo amazing…oooh boooth!
WOW… Bones is absolutely amazing and the best show on TV by far!! I was so hurt in those last couple of moments in the show! For me if a show can make someone actually get that sad over a scene makes the show AMAZING! I’m still speechless and I loved it. For me I don’t necesarly want Booth and Brennan together right away. I enjoy this crazy ride way too much!!
I felt really disappointed but now that I read this, I am feeling a bit better. I thought it was all over and I felt Booth gave up too quickly, saying he had to move on…and she just agreed, albeit sadly. I just feel sad. The acting was amazing!
I agree with the comment about David B’s lower lip. I hope nothing is wrong. My brother looks like that when he dips smokeless tobacco.
Yes! That’s exactly what it reminds me of! I had an ex that ‘dipped’ and that’s how he always looked. So distracting.
I noticed that also…distracting but so lovable. His face also looks thinner now? It seemed more obvious with the flashback scenes and the hair parted…
I can’t wait to see what Angela’s going to say when she finds out.
Oh! I hadn’t thought of that. Bones does tend to tell her everything.
But will Brennan share this information with Angela? I think she will – once that “other woman” comes into the picture. I see Brennan having an “emotional event” that she will not know how to handle, ie jealousy, and she’ll go to Angela for help.
This episode was so sad because it seemed so realistic. I loved how it wasn’t really questioned that they had these feelings for each other. They both knew, and they both knew that they knew. I think we had been giving Brennan too much credit for the progress she’s been making. She’s scared, and she doesn’t know how to get past that even if she does really love Booth. At first I was mad at Booth for saying he’d continue to work with her and letting her cling to him as they walked away, but then I realized I’ve done the same thing…clung to what I had left of a relationship while my heart was breaking. But in real life I had to eventually cut my ties, and I think that’s where this is heading for them too in the season finale. Very realistic episode for a series which I think had been faltering a bit in that area in earlier episodes this season.
I agree Jill. I think they will have to ‘cut ties’ in a way- maybe not immediately, but one of them will realize it’s just not possible to work together. I think that will be the catalyst for Brennan realizing she can and must change. I think her making sure they can still work together is exactly what Mandi said-she knows keeping him around professionally is the only way he won’t abandon her, but when that isn’t even possible, she’s gonna have to either give him up completely or let go!
i liked this episode. so sad at the end and yet in a way, I liked that. it put the ball now into Brennan’s court. she knows booth is going to try to move on and i think, or at least hope she will see that she cant let him go.
Maybe she’ll get good and jealous! That would be fun!
Was so sad when she said no…but it wouldn’t have been Bones if she said yes….so true to the characters and so true to real life…we’ve all been there…wanted something more but afraid to lose what we have. I hope Bones finally gets brave. Best episode ever…possibly in all of TV.
Thank you EW for having the recap up early! I loved it! But her rejecting him was heart breaking. I hope that they don’t draw it out so far that they’re only together at the very end. That would be disappointing. It was great! Hopefully the season finale will be equally well done.
Hart Hanson has said many times the B&B will be together in the end. Tonights episode opens that path even wider. Bones has to figure out wether she wants to make that leap or not. Booth said he had to move on, this will mean that although they will still be partners they’re relationship will change. Will Bones like that change? I doubt it. It will force her to revaluate her decision. Great episode. Great acting and great directing/
Together in the end doesn’t mean together as romantic partners, lovers, married couple. Just means working together, or being together as they have been. So nothing changes. And that’s what makes me bummed out about last night’s episode.
Angela called Zack Jimmy Neutron Boy Scientist!Actually a Boy Genius but never mind. Good times Good times!
Annette, I actually laughed out loud when she said that because I love Jimmy Neutron. The look on Angela’s face when Zack and Tempe didn’t know what she was talking about was priceless. Loved it!
Yeah, I loved that line too.
Yep.
Mandi, once again you prove that you are the best recapper this magazine has. I truly hope they are paying you what you deserve, which is lots of moolah! Thank you so much!
Yeah, I envy Mandi. She’s such a good, but objective fan. And she totally got me hooked on David.
Dammn you Bones :’) this episode was sooooo good, I can’t even express myself appropriately..
First, David Boreanaz is such a talent. As a director, actor, whatever, love him. The last scene killed me. Seriously, I screamed/cryied/threw something on the tv, I don’t even know. Emily’s interpretation was PERFECT. Brennan loves him so much that she is afraid to ruin everything.. so sad and beautiful at the same time.
Oh LOVE some Zach! I miss him so much.
Now I need to recover, breathe and watch everything again and again til’ next week’s epi.
Congrats to the whole cast & crew. Famazing people!
I wanted to smack Brennan. I don’t know how to change because I’m a scientist (or something along that line) — WHAT THE HELL??? Change and Science go hand in hand. That’s how discoveries are made because a scientist is not satisfied with what he or she is faced with. I was fine with how it ended – them not hooking up. But that line just peeved me. Oh and because of this episode and Brennan’s reaction I am all for Booth moving on. Damn you Brennan!! (I do understand her fear but man, couldn’t she have said, not at the moment because I’m not ready.)
