Hi all
I've been holding off commenting on this seeing if anyone else was going to post first 'cos I seem to have a different view to most of the reviews I've seen elsewhere on line, this one didn't really float my boat I have to say. I usually love every episode with Stephen Fry in and he was still good as was the episode but I didn't find it particularly memorable, in fact I only watched it a couple of days ago and I'm already struggling to remember it.
The one thing I do remember is that the whole B&B thing is about as subtle as being hit on the head with a brick, Booth loves Brennan no s**t! Hasn't that kinda been the case for a long, long, long time now. So I'm taking it that we're now gonna spend the rest of the season waiting for Brennan to realise she loves Booth, for the love of god can we either go there or just get them both a love/sex interest elsewhere and get on with the programme as a whole (altough I know that's not the common viewpoint). I'm not against the B&B relationship, or actually with it developing gradually if it was subtle but its really not, I admit I did like the last scene though with the lyrics of the song seeming to acknowledge that Brennan was the one for Booth, that was subtle and Sweet.
Which brings me to Sweets, if he has written a book saying B&B are in love then why has he been telling Booth that he isn't in love . Is it because he's attempting to keep their relationship professional as he's employed by the FBI and if so why is he so concerned about them recognising it (am I missing something).
I didn't hate this episode and I admit that I'm liking Brennan this season, her people skills do seem to be improving but without detracting from her character. I think this is probably my least favourite so far though mainly because I feel like screaming at those involved 'We know B&B love each other, we know she struggles with this because of her past, we know that he doesn't want to hurt her or get hurt, we know all this and we don't need it shouted at us through a megaphone"
I wasn't blown away by the storyline, a bit bland and uneventful really, not bad just not brilliant but Stephen Fry did make it a bit more of a worth watching epi. I'm gonna watch again when it airs on Sky on Thursday and maybe I'll appreciate it more second time around.
Anyway, catch you later.
