Urgh. Very bad move. Do not want! Are they going to get married and have a baybee, too?

I don't have a problem with it, as long as they deal with it realistically.

In real life, two people who work together everyday who have as much chemistry as they do together would have been in bed four years ago.

I'm not a 'shipper when it comes to TV. I'm a realist.

And, I think interesting things, plotwise, can come of realistically dealing with relationships.

(Much more realistic than watching two people who obviously want each other NOT HAVE SEX for season upon season a la X Files.)

I get annoyed with TV series that set up the sexually charged relationships and then never see them through.

ETA: And I know they did, ultimately, go somewhere with Mulder and Scully, but it took so long, almost nobody gave a shit anymore.

Do NOT have her end up pregnant! Please! Anything else but that!

[kanding]

But if she is, allow her to weigh all her options. Not that she has to have an abortion, but it would be nice if TV acknowledged that it existed.

I just got caught up on the last two episodes (at least I think they're the last two so far) and I'm wondering if Booth is going to have hallucinations/visions of people in every episode now to help him out of any problem. It seemed a bit much to do that two episodes in a row, although the Parker one was better done that the hockey one. The hockey episode just felt really awkward and oddly paced.

Those last two episodes were incredibly bad, I thought. The hockey one felt like it was just a big David Boreanaz fantasy/vanity piece.

Exactly! Isn't he supposedly much more involved in the show now as a producer or something? I'm not sure it's such a good idea.

The whole gravedigger story arc seemed a bit off, too. I'd honestly forgotten about it and bringing it back up now just seemed too little too late. I'd forgotten any details, and the stuff in this episode relating directly to the Gravedigger just seemed so thrown together without any real motive or understanding.

I really hope they've got this silliness out of the way now and will return to more solid storylines. *fingers crossed*

Grrrrr. Three week hiatus. Grrrrr.

Yes - both David B and Emily D, now. And it does show.

Sigh - I know. But at least they're promising we'll get 11 new episodes in a row then!

The latest was a fun episode - well, as much fun as a show about corpses can be. The depressed assistant wasn't as bad as the first time, though he still should have been fired. But hey, he watches Fringe!

And, as much as I hated him last year, I'm totally loving Sweets now. Cute as a bug, he is!

You're right, Casino Bride, their involvement does show, not necessarily for the better. The feel of the show has changed since the first season when they were all quirky but not so borderline slapstick. I still enjoy the show overall, but I wish they'd tone down the silliness. Of course, I've always wondered why they made Brennan like this in the first place, since the character in the book is nothing like the tv version. I guess it wasn't considered catchy enough to compete against all the other crime dramas.

This latest episode was definitely an improvement over the previous two, and yeah, I also got a kick out of the assistant "admitting" that he even watches Fringe.
