Bones 5x01

God god god so much work to do today, but I'm waiting until after lunch. I had a GLORIOUS 10-hour sleep last night so I'm no longer the blurred mess of sleep deprivation that I have been for the last week.

But this post is mostly because, in breaks between lectures yesterday, I managed to watch the season opener of Bones.

OH THIS SHOW. I MISSED IT SO MUCH. I was telling Ji how it's gotten to the point where I just hear the voices of the characters and I feel joyful. I love it so much that I can forgive it getting things COMPLETELY AND HILARIOUSLY WRONG, including

a) tarot (I am going to make a whole post on this later because they got some of it interestingly right and I want to blather for a while)

but mostly

b) NEUROLOGY. Oh man. I mean, this is a topic close to my heart (ha) so it took a great effort of will to forgive Sweets for trying to pull that reductionist bullshit. Ben Goldacre would rip you to SHREDS, my dear! It's like they Googled 'love and the brain' and just grabbed 'caudate' and 'VTA' from the abstract of the first article to come up. Plus, what the hell, SWEETS? That was lazy writing.

BUT EVERYTHING ELSE WAS WONDEFUL. There was crimesolving and awesome friendships (CAM) and Angela's kickass dress and jskhdkjh stabbing and holding and OH BOOOOOTH, I HEARD YOU CALL HER 'BABY' AFTER YOU KISSED HER HAIR, UH HUH. They are so in love and their hugging was amazing and whatever, ridiculously contrived attempt to stop Booth from confessing his feelings, at this point it's all so inevitable that I am actually quite enjoying the delicious emotional obstacle course and all of its accompanying LONGING LOOKS and TOUCHING and yes.

In conclusion, everyone on this show needs to have a good long talk with Angela. She will whack Booth and remind him that no, he has been in love with Brennan for AGES, and she will explain to Sweets that he should maybe stop grasping at unscientific straws out of his poor confused puppy dog crush on Booth.

OH GOD THAT PET SCAN. "HERE IS THE CAUDATE. IT DOES NOTHING REALLY THAT IMPORTANT, VIS A VIS ERGO BULLSHIT." I had to pause for a bit until I could enjoy the show again.

But other than that, SO CUTE, THOSE TWO. I want to pinch their cheeks and just make them Do It Already.

sweets is a psychologist, wtf does he know! (kidding omgggggggg.) really, their science is 90% bad all the time, so i don't even pay attention anymore.

IT IS ALL ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY LOVE EACH OTHER.

Brennan was just so unremittingly awesome this episode. Letting the scalpel go into her ARM, gnh. And -- "Well, they gave me medication, so I feel how I imagine people of average intelligence feel all the time."

Some men cannot pull off 'baby' without sounding like idiots, but SEELEY BOOTH joins John Crichton in the club of men who absolutely can.

I think you mean SEELEY JOSEPH BOOTH.

Plus: Cam's adorable pinched face of restrained smug amusement when Booth is trying to tell her that he's in love with Brennan. You can tell that inside she's shouting FINALLY! FINALLY!

I ACTUALLY LAUGHED OUT LOUD AT THAT POINT. FOR SERIOUS.

It reminds me of Glinda in Wicked when she's not getting what she wants for like the first time ever: "This must be how normal people feel! How do they bear it?!?!"

Seeley Booth, John Crichton, and Eric Taylor. I have a list.

I am in the number who cannot pull off 'baby'. It is wonderful. I use it all the time and sound awesomely ridiculous. Or maybe just like an idiot.
