If you want my thoughts, scroll down a bit. I'm the only commenter so far.

it's been a while...

I think it's because I conceived of this blog when I was in a bad place, Bones-wise. Surely, you can tell by my last post that I have a lot of issues I need to resolve on this front--changes to the show and the characters I need to accept-- before I can really move forward in discussing the series.

And so, I think this blog is going to take a turn-- one that I (truly) didn't expect... which excites me!

I'm going back. Back through the so-called "old-school" Bones episodes: back through the mystery of Brennan's parents, through Booths many romps, through the "Gorgonzola" ordeal. Back to Zack and Brennan's more bohemian look. Back through Cam's first cases, through Sully, through Brennan learning to trust and love.

I'm going back to the beginning, where it all started a mere seven months ago on a computer screen (via Netflix instant play): Season 1, episode 1. And I'm going to re-watch the series. Again.

(Can you believe that in such a short time I've re-watched seasons 1 and 2 four times, seasons 3, three times, and seasons 4 and 5 twice?)

Of course, I'll be watching with a different perspective now, one more knowledgeable. One more aware...

I'm not sure what I'll be looking for; I need to re-watch a few episodes of season 6 to figure that out (and when I do, I'll post a list as a reminder), but I know I want to look for fear-- for moments reminiscent of the end of the 100th episode (Booth willing; Brennan afraid)... of course, much more subtle. Much less intense.

I was inspired by 100daysofbones.wordpress.com... but it won't be like that, this new blog-turn. There will be no reviews, per say. No structured posts. Just what comes out...

I think. I'll know more next week. I just to say that this isn't the end, but the beginning-- like The Beginning in the End, but less heartbreaking.

ps. I want to make a shout-out to my first follower, because logging in today and finding that someone has, indeed, been reading, really encouraged me to be bold, live wide, and take this new direction.

So, thank you, and to you, I dedicate this post! :)

The Bones That Weren't: a rant-review

So the Bones episode from Thursday...

WTF?!?

It just became my least favorite episode of Bones... as well as one of my least favorite episodes of any TV show.

Maybe I'm biased, because this episode was really heavy on the Hannah. REALLY heavy. She and Booth just kept kissing and kissing and being all couple-y, and as an avid B&B shipper, I didn't appreciate that.

Also, the fact that the episode provided two chances for Hannah to die, but she didn't, got on my nerves a bit.

And then at the end she and Brennan were talking like friends. I think that was the worst part for me, because it either means that a) Brennan's feelings for Booth simply aren't strong enough for her to feel malice towards Hannah or b) that Brennan actually likes her. And if Brennan likes her, then that makes her compatible with Hannah, and since she's (obviously) compatible with Booth, by the transitive property, that would make Booth truly compatible with Hannah.

I think.

And that will make her a hell of a lot more difficult to get rid of. I mean, why would Booth want to break up with her? He wouldn't. He won't. It will be her-- it HAS to be. And since she is so enamored with Booth, she'll have to tire of her current job.

Or Brennan will have to tell her to back off, but I doubt that will happen.

So, really, this wasn't a bad episode. I mean, I did have some nice laughs (especially in the beginning: the clam, the knife, etc.), but it scared the sh!t out of me. And made me just slightly depressed. Simultaneously.

If Hannah doesn't disappear shortly after the holiday break (at the very LATEST), I might need to start drinking while I watch this show... or suffer a psychotic break. We'll see.

insight of the day

The people who are the most troubled are also the most adept at pretending they aren't.

^^^ It sounds like it could be a fortune cookie, right? Perhaps, I could have a career in writing those...

a fun fact

In 4 years, I will be the proud owner of an Ivy League degree. However, I'm studying English (creative writing) and anthropology, so I likely won't have a job.

Anthropology 1400. Take it.

I don't know what that means...

If you watch Bones, however, you DO know what my title means... at least, you understand the reference.

I have no idea what this blog is going to be about. Nada. Maybe I'll post some poetry, some random pictures I take... I have not a clue.

Besides, those two ideas sound sort of boring, don't you think? I mean, they've probably been done to death!

This blog is going to be new and exciting and I'm going to be new and exciting... so follow me! And I shall lead you down a path to, well, who the hell knows! But I promise that the journey will be fun.

Cheers,
