#Bones S8

[lilcathsmith]

Season 8? Finished! 🥳

This season was OK, again Booth and Bones's vibes were off and I didn't like it, absolutely hated the episode where it started and immediately the vibes were off (when Bones was making breakfast) it just completely broke my heart, then the vibes picked up so much to the point where Bones proposed!! And then it got ruined!!!

On the other hand... Cam and Arastoo 🥹🥹 I honestly didn't think I needed anymore ships but honestly they are adorable and Cam especially deserves to be loved and I almost cried when Arastoo got sick and Cam was begging the guy to give them the antidote

Angela and Hodgins are still as perfect as always and are still my favourite couple. Side note: I cannot believe they broke Sweets and Daisy up AGAIN! I'm so gutted, especially considering it was over some random agent which Sweets didn't get with properly anyway!!

I loved that Hodgins re-made Finns grandmothers sauce and I hope we see more of this in the future.

And I felt so sorry for Booth in the episode about his mum, when she was talking about her other kids and she said "they were at an age when they still needed a mum". But I'm glad Booth went to the wedding in the end :')

Anyway, episode highlights:

The Patriot in the Pentagon: THE BEST EPISODE SO FAR! I was so convinced that this episode was going to be a fun CSI-Lab Rats type episode but I'm so glad it wasn't, I loved seeing all the interns work together and Arastoo pushing to figure out what happened to this one guy instead of taking part in the competition was so 🥺❤️ And the scene where they were all talking about where they were during 9/11 was just so heartbreaking and they all did such an amazing job. I absolutely adored this episode and still haven't stopped thinking about it since.

The Ghost in the Machine: this episode was done so interestingly, I didn't think I was going to enjoy it at first as I thought the angle was weird but seeing how everyone was interacting with the body was really sweet, especially when Cam said something about her mum/gran was so cute.

The Shot in the Dark: is it bad to say I just didn't care about this episode? I don't know whether it's because I know Bones is in it for all of the series so I just wasn't as worried, and I just found the interactions with her mum a bit cringe idk. And I just thought the reason for Bones getting shot was a bit odd. I also don't understand why no-one even mentioned Pelant even if it was just in passing like "no it's not his style" idk it just felt like he would be suspect number one.

The Pathos in the Pathogens: this episode 🥺 The disney+ description said that someone got infected so the first 15/20 minutes I was just waiting for something to happen (I was expecting it to be Sweets ngl). And I was preparing myself for losing Arastoo

The Secret in the Siege: I was STRESSED!! I was so convinced this was going to be the episode I was going to lose Sweets. I was also watching this episode with my mum and she had to tell me to calm down 😅

Anyway, Season 8 was OK, the good episodes were really good and the others were mid at best.

Lets Go Season 9!!

New crime show obsession?

I've finally decided to dive into the world of Bones and I'm going to take you on the journey with me! So here goes!

☆☆☆

I've watched the pilot and am immediately into it. I'm intrigued by the focus of the show as when I'm watching CSI I find the scenes where they recontruct a victims face from the skull really cool and the people who do irl and soooo talented!

Also, the opening scene? The skull in the bag? Obsessed!

Already in love with Brennan and Booth's dynamic, feels very Finn/Russell - there's been some angst in the past that we haven't let go of - I'm excited for their back-and-forth-banter.

Straight away, I like Brennan and Riva, they're funny and cool and I hope they have as good of a relationship as this first episode has shown.

I probably won't write my thoughts on EVERY episode, maybe do mid-season and season finale summaries idk we'll see!

The fact that Fisher blatantly flirts with Sweets and checks him out and tells him that he’s “looking right under his skirt” when he’s wearing nothing but a towel and Brennan and Booth use gender neutral language to refer to Sweets’s potential future partners “you’ll find your person they’ll be lucky to have you” in the same episode is very important to me

Making out with your dead wife’s doppelgänger when your girlfriend and son (who you had with said dead wife) walks in while your husband is freaking out about aforementioned doppelgänger in his own apartment. Eddie loves telenovelas so much that he is turning his life into one 😭😭😭

pics I stashed in my drafts a while ago out of shame but idc anymore take them. I stared at him so often when I was a teen

I have done extensive research, Booth. This is the best stroller on the market. Plus, the design is beautiful. And it's cerise.

Why the BuckTommy break-up fell flat narratively...

Disclaimer: I am not defending this ship. I hate it and I'm glad it's dead.

1. Prior to the break-up, he made a jab at Abby for dating a guy half her age and riding Buck off as "a himbo." Even though he's literally doing the same exact thing.

That, kids, is what we call "hypocrisy."

2. Tommy said that he "knows how the relationship ends."

Sir, if you know how it ends, why did you go for it in the first place? This just gives off that he was only dating Buck either for a good time or because Eddie wasn't showing any signs of interest, so he just settled for his bestie.

3. Tommy tries to pawn off the catalyst of the relationship ending on Buck, saying that he would "break his heart."

Even though HE was the one doing all the heart-breaking shit to BUCK throughout the entire goddamn relationship.

4. Josh's dumbass advice.

Okay, that's not fair. Josh's advice wasn't dumb per-say, but it was completely irrelevant to Buck's issue. I know that he probably doesn't really know who Tommy is, but making him sound like he was this gay pioneer who led the charge at Stonewall and that his scars should be respected?

Absolute nope.

It ended up making Buck's move-in proposal feel like he was doing it out of obligation because Tommy's been out longer than he has, so why shouldn't he ask him to move in with him?

And on that topic...

5. The return of the hamster wheel

You would think that after dumping Taylor the way he did, Buck would remember that he doesn't necessarily have to hold on to relationships that aren't working and he can just cut it loose, right?

Wrong.

Instead, they have Buck actually take Josh's advice and pull a Taylor 2.0 by asking Tommy to move in with him. This show continues to leave Buck on that fucking hamster wheel instead of letting him get off and it's working my nerve. Even if this was just the show's way of showing that Buck's toxic relationship tendencies don't change because he's with someone of the same sex, it's still redundant and annoying.

6. Buck.

The first and only time Tommy chooses to refer to Buck by his preferred name is when he's dropping him like a baked potato.

And the show never even gave Buck the chance to tell him off about it.

The fucking audacity.

And finally,

7. TOMMY KINARD HIMSELF

This whole scene, the narrative tries to paint Tommy out to be this sympathetic character all throughout, making him look all sad and talking about how "he knew the parking spot was too good to be true" and citing Buck to be the one who would break his heart.

Despite the fact that he literally broke Buck's again just seconds ago.

I'll never understand why the show decided to take this route with Tommy's character for the episode even though in past episodes, he's been canonically depicted to be insensitive at best and flat out bigoted at worse. And throughout the entirety of his and Buck's relationship, he has said and done things that have hurt Buck and he never even apologized for it. And if he did apologize, he gave a lame apology as to why he did do.

*cough* first date *cough cough*

And it definitely doesn't help matters that the show made the active choice not to bring up his past actions within the relationship or for Buck to even know about it. Instead, they made Abby the catalyst for the break up when it could've been Tommy himself being the catalyst.

Obviously, there were a million ways the show could've given the BuckTommy break-up a major impact and there were definitely ways they could've made the break-up solid with the Abby revelation.

All in all, the break-up could've been executed better, but at least the ship is dead.

BUMMY BONES WHO CHEERED

[macaronimars]

to the anon back in my inbox: i'm not going to publish your asks, but you seriously need to calm down. take a walk or think about something else for a bit. this is a fictional television show and you are saying horrible things about real life people. we're just trying to have fun

[sunflowerdigs]

Apparently people are panicking about Marisol being on set again? I haven't seen much so I guess I follow the right people.

Anyway, it's important to remember that Taylor stuck around until the end of s5 (literally until almost the last minute). So even if she appears to be in episode 10, it's possible that's Marisol's last episode. And even if it's not, I very highly doubt that Tim is closing out the season with both Buck and Eddie still romantically interested in other people. He would be shooting himself in the foot big time with that because of the amount of Buddie promo put out for this season. He's gotta give us a clear path forward to Buddie or people are going to call him a queerbaiter and drop the show before s8.

[kenneth-black]

Sooo…Buck was on a date with that guy when Eddie called?

And he just left everything to go help Eddie?
