So, about tonight's Bones

[vaznetti]

What the hell? Was that the season finale and I didn't realize it? The station here doesn't do scenes from next week, so I am completely in the dark here. And I don't want to be in the dark!

Booth is going to be all right, right? I mean, obviously, because he is one of the stars. But I am still concerned! And I was all happy! and aren't they cute! and then! argh!

That's all I have. I had other comments, but they have been driven out of my head.

ETA: OK, no. I am not really sure that I liked that, as plot developments go. It felt melodramatic; it felt like a way of forcing the Bones/Booth relationship. And I'm not sure it needed to be forced -- they're already adorable, and they admire each other, and I firmly believe they were heading for weird-but-cute romance territory. But now, he took a bullet for her! and she shot Pam! It just seems like more baggage than they really need. Whether it's going to be used to make some distance between them or bring them together it just seems... I don't know. Over the top.

I actually suspect this will NOT play out primarily shippy -- I think it's a way of getting Booth out of commission before Gormagon makes his move next week, so the team is absent the member who, you know, usually beats up the bad guys.

There probably be shippy overtones, but again, I really doubt that's the main thing.

And Booth is so going to survive.

Of course he is!

Angel Booth can't die.

Ah -- this is what comes of being completely unspoiled and not seeing the "next week!" promo. It didn't even occur to me that there might be good story-related reasons for the shooting.

I will have o trust the show.
