On Bones, B/B, and VNM
So. My thoughts on last night's Bones. Because I needed to get them out of my head.
Everyone seems to be super psyched about the B/B relationship, as well as bummed about Vincent's death. I thought it was probably going to be Vincent, but man, it still hurt. It hurt so much.
However, my problem with the show wasn't that it killed Vincent off. I mean, I'd prefer if he didn't die, obviously, but that's not why I'm not sure if I'm going to continue watching the show. There were three distinct moments in the second half of the show that seriously rubbed me the wrong way.
1. The FBI agent asked Booth if Vincent had been his friend. He said yes - which isn't accurate, at all. (Personally, I thought he should have said he was a good kid or something. Saying you were someone's friend, when you didn't even call them by their name, and brushed them off all the time, that just really rubs me the wrong way.) And then when she offers her condolences, and he says "Don't be sorry, just help me get revenge," and he has his cocky little half-smile? I wanted to punch him in the face. It made me furious.
2. Everything about the Angela/Brennan conversation. EVERYTHING. It bothered me so much, from Angela the entire time obviously not caring two whits about Vincent (which is so not her personality AT ALL), to Brennan's half-smile when Angela asks what happened, and then, on top of everything, when Hodgins comes in, with information that could help catch Vincent's killer, Angela kicks him out? I haven't cared about B/B as much this season anyway, because I felt like the writing has sucked and it's gone on too long, but man, after that? I don't even want to see it happen.
3. Everything about Angela. Who evidently didn't care. At all. Despite having all her pregnancy hormones, and being Angela, she was like robot girl. The scene between her and Hodgins, when Hodgins was obviously sad about Vincent, really highlighted how much she didn't care, I thought. And that just seemed so OOC and just, just wrong.
Overall, the scene where Vincent died? Spot-on, stellar acting from all three parties. The earlier scenes between Hodgins and Vincent were fantastic, too. (Someone on tumblr said they shipped Vincent/Hodgins, and I can totally see that.) Almost everything else in the episode really bothered me. And that's including, with a flashing neon sign, the possibility of B/B, and how that was played out.
