The reconciliation DIDN’T help. Barney and Robin’s angst fest is slowly murdering Season Seven of “HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER” right now.

The second point is the absolute lack of chemistry between two actors that gave us the best of their habilities earlier. I´ve seen three kisses this year and in the three of them I saw Emily walking away from Booth. I don´t need see erotic situations, believe me! I only want to see them together, really together. What I think is that the writters are writting episodes full of problems between them, the most of them it seemed to me that were artificial or, at least, poorly built. And the reason of these estupid and artificial problems is, precisely, the moonlight curse. This has became an obssesion that limits the writter´s job. So, I have to say that I hoped they were braver than they are today.

The thrid point and it will be the last, no because of I´m tired of complaning but because of the language, is that I´m not interested anymore in the script. My fault? I don´t think so. I think that the scripts are deficient, the jokes are pretty bad (as the one of Booth and Brennan simulating the copulation in the field work) and the cases not well designed. A virus in the bone? Oh my God, they have lost the sense of the credibility! Or, at least, they can´t address it to the spectators anymore.
And, again, it is their job!

Sorry, this is my opinion. I really hope that when Emily isn´t pregnant anymore, the chemistry comes back. I don´t know if this is the problem, or if, at least, it will change something. I love Bones, more than any serie that I´ve seen before (with the only exception of Friends), but this doesn´t change the fact that it isn´t the serie I fall in love with seven years ago. I don´t love Brennan the way I used to, neither Booth. Well, I´m lying, I still love them, but I don´t see them with the same exciting sensation that I did even last year. I think they (the writters, the producers, whoever) ruined it, and I hope it isn´t forever.

If you must know (???) I though season 5 was good, and I never have been on the Hannah Hater band wagon. Quite the opposite. I saw MUCH more romantic interaction and vibe with Booth and her, then I do the brother and sister relationship for BB now. Hannah was a go getter, dangerous in riding the edge of the envelope which absolutely would attract a man like Booth. Evidently I was adult enough to be shown romantic moments with Hannah and Booth, but need to just “imagine” and write the epsodes in my head now for the current relationship situation.

I thought we could watch TV for some escapeism, not to work at filling in the lines because the writers(producers, executive creator, whoever) will not, don’t want to or don’t care.

The biggest reason I am watching this season is to see Dr. Temperance Brennan and her reaction to having a baby of her own. Emily has brought Brennan to life and gave us one of the most unique characters on TV in a long time. Her over logical/rational brain is going to be an interesting view as we watch her raise their daughter!

The one question I would love to ask ED is how she sees her real life child rearing compared to that of Dr. Temperance Brennan? How does she see Brennan as a mom compared to herself?

As far as the serial killer….well, it’s interesting but it’s not enough to keep me watching.

I feel that the way Fox has pre-empted the show for Idol, the X-Factor, March Madness and the World Series does have an effect. Sometimes, you don’t know what day of the week it is on. Sometimes, I think Fox is deliberately shuffeling the show so that the fans would lose interest.

1. The massive cutting of season 7 episodes and major mid-season break is “Bones” primary current problem. Never seen an actor’s pregnancy cause such schedule conflict! Bottom line, Fox’s handling of “Bones” season 7 schedule is horrific. Especially when you factor in the main characters are FINALLY together after 6 years of build-up. Just terrible treatment on Fox’s behalf.

2. Brennan and Booth are amazing together. I could go for it & start naming specific episodes, etc. w/vast detail, but I will keep it simple & short and say they are awesome crime partners AND terrific romantic partners. Not to mention best friends (love that!). I truly believe 99% of fans both see and feel that.

3. This major story line plot – Brennan’s pregnancy/B&B moving-in together and officially becoming a couple – is an incredible opportunity for the show to be WAY BETTER! EONS BETTER! It’s a flaw in their Fox/Bones/Hart Hanson system if they don’t pull their shiz together and make it INCREDIBLE. Right now, there is opportunity in every aspect of the show. They need a true “quarterback” to run this game. They need the Joe Montana of quarterbacks! Right now! Seriously. SO much opportunity and it appears they’re choosing to pass the ball down field for “The Finder”, leaving us “Bones” fans going NUTS! We’re waiting for our show to get back on track AND literally end “Bones” winning the Super Bowl!

I’m a girl. Hope everyone gets and appreciates my sports metaphor.
Lastly, to “Dorothy” I’m most surprised by your thoughts on ending of season 5. The entire season 5 was brilliant. Began so romantic with “Harbingers” where Booth officially declared his love for Brennan to Cam, finishing with “The Beginning in the End” which was SO romantic! From start to finish, season 5 was amazing. Where I would agree with your fierce anger is season 6, episode 1: enter Hannah and the end of B&B’s romantic journey/weekly flirtation; where they used to end each episode w/a drink together & those amazing moments between them. First half of season 6 was unbearable for me (and most fans) I literally can not watch those first 13 episodes ever again.

Cheers! Here’s to hoping just ONE producer from “Bones” reads this. You can do this. SOOO easy to fix! You already have the winning team. You just need a coach to design the right plays!!

A relationship can be handled in a mature yet playful manner. Just look at
The Closer. The writing remains solid despite the two leads marriage.
Bones writers should take note….

I Would like to see Brennan find herself again as I think the writers have changed her just a little too much. However she really did have to evolve enough to actually enter into this relationship, but I’m not keen on some of the rather silly things they have got her saying. I therefore do agree that the writing should sharpen up. The new villain however is really interesting and I look forward to seeing how that develops.

I do wonder though if there may be plans to wind this series up. Maybe not this season but possibly next. I hope I am wrong.

I am certainly not a teeny. I am old enough to be both Brennan and Booth’s mother. In fact old enough to be most of the regular cast’s mother. Enough said.

I agree that Charah should be added to this list!

I’m glad that Bones and Booth made this list! It’s about time they finally moved their storyline forward. I was getting sick of seeing them tread the same old waters season after season. I, too, skip right over the episodes with Hannah. I’m also saddened and a bit irritated over the dumbing down of Brennan over the years. I wish the writers/show runners/directors would go back and watch the first 2 or 3 seasons and get her back to that. She was still flawed and had difficulty relating in some social situations, but she wasn’t a complete moron about it. She had more of a balance of powerful and vulnerable. I was disappointed at not getting to see that moment of revelation and transformation in their relationship. They could have given us that without a drawn out bedroom scene. One of their wonderful one-on-one deep conversations would have sufficed. However, what we got is better than what we had! I couldn’t have endured another season of “will they, won’t they”! It was getting extremely tiresome! I am enjoying watching them work their relationship out now. It’s nice to see those little affectionate moments between them and to know that it is possible to see a good, ‘real’ relationship being worked out on TV. It’s messy and sometimes you just want to throttle the other person, but underneath there is a deep well of love and respect. Now, if only FOX would get it together on the freaky scheduling of this season it would be perfect!

Brennan & Booth <3 best couple ever.

I do wish that the writer’s stop the dumbing down of Brennan because she was sassy and great during season 1-3 and then they gradually dumbed her down. I still watch the show because I want to see where they go.

In my opinion, DB may have tweeted that this season may be the last and eh nobody said anything, he should’ve said that on Facebook. If you want to see reactions, check out Facebook. Currently Bones has over 9 million fans on there and its highly promoted on there. Remember, twitter is more celebrity friendly while Facebook is more fan friendly, but I digress.

The villain may save the season, but the writing has to pick up. It can’t be scared of letting Brennan be her strong self again. Either way, I’m still watching the show because its one of my favorites.

Oh and I’m not a teeny whatever either, I’m the farthest thing from that. I’m a 23 year old guy, So that says that I could hardly give a damn about the show, but I do.

I am a shipper of these two from episode one, and a steady and loyal fan who can be HONEST about what this show has become. As a mature fan of 42 years of age, I can admit when mistakes have been made in a series and lead characters are not what they used to be. I am tired of reading “fanlets” get on websites and say that this show is just as fantastic as day one, and is gaining millions of vieweres. Consider this, if it was gaining millions of viewers it would have ratings of 10/8 or 12/8 by the sixth episode. It was in the 2′s little fanlets, get a grip. 2.7/5-8 got shows cancelled in 2006 and 2007. If there is any truth to be spoken more people are using the DVR and that is it. Not to the tune of millions either little fanlets.

As a diehard fan that frequents every Bones website I can find I can be honest and say that while the show is touted by critics(and they are never wrong are they?) Fox does not promote or support the show as it did in the first four years. Fox still has the Bones series page marked as underconstruction. Really, for 19 months? really? The websites are full of tumbleweeds and the fans are to the point of not caring whether this show is on or not every week. Those are facts, stated here by someone who lived to chat with other Bones fans and get involved in promoting the show. Hard to do that when Fox doesn’t give a rat’s ass.

Here is why Castle and other shows are doing so well, here is why polls that were once won by Bones actors are lost when there are just “millions of new fans each week” pfffft. The producers and creators and networks of those shows support it, they have online tweet crime to solve, special twitter account for actors to interact with fans, COMMERCIALS?!.

More proof needed? DB twittered over the weekend that this could be Bones last season. As a Bones fan I am used to his tweets when he is bored and shrug. There was no ripple, no huge outcry like what he was hoping for through the Bones universe on line. That is because the show is written for “teeny boppers” right now, very bad plot lines and Bones being the worst for out of character. I imagine he got the “squeels” of some through twitter-verse, but it fell very, very flat. The few fans of old that I converse with online not only refused to register a reaction, they are commenting that they find it hard to care about this show anymore.

DO NOT judge the popularity of this show by the bashers that will not be honest and state this show has gapping holes in it right now. There is no gauge to use or guess by to figure the numbers of fans who used to give a darn but have given up enduring hiatus, after hiatus.

You see, as a fan, and YES I still am, I can be honest and say the show is not what it was. Season seven may only be saved by the Pellant villian. The idiotic bickering and weekly dumbing down of Bones, who I once thought was the best female character on TV, has me extremely sad about where the series has gone.

I have to agree, that I am angry, because they don´t let us see what happend between 6×22 and season 7, but I can live with that . E.g. I really appreciate, that in 6×22 we didn´t know what happend. If they slept together or didn´t. And if they were, are they now together, or they just agreed, that maybe they should forget it? What if they weren´t together, when she said she si pregnant? And I love, when my imagination have to work. I´m not angry, that they made it this way.

And season 7. I like it. First 5 episodes were cute and we had chance to see, that their relationship isn´t perfect and never will. It isn´t like in other series where they are together and everything is perfect, they don´t have any problems, etc.
Episode 6 was very scary an I look forward to what happens next.

So conclusion I am really happy, that there is season 7 and I hope there will be even more, because there are still lots of ideas, situations or problems, which can happen in the future :):):)

I´m sorry for my english, but it isn´t my native language.
