Checking in on Bones

Two episodes into the new season of Bones, both bloggers are fighting annoyance with the show. While Leeard has watched its show since its inception, and will probably watch it until it’s cancelled, she is not enjoying the season so far. Ern swore to give it up once last season ended with Booth and Bones STILL not together. How long can they drag this out? It’s so unrealistic. They would have at least boned by now (tee hee Bones. Boning. Ok, we’re five years old). But Ern tuned into these episodes on hulu in the hopes of seeing Booth’s girlfriend, the source of Leeard’s ire. Leeard hates this woman (Hannah), because no one (NO ONE) should take Booth away from Bones. This is one of the few shows in which the central pairing is actually integral to the bloggers’ enjoyment of the show.

We thought the premiere was really cute, because it celebrated the entire crew, had a decent crime mystery, and featured Bones at her most literal and geeky best, which is always hilarious. We love that Angela is pregnant, and we can remember a time when we wanted Angela and Hodgins together almost as much as we wanted Bones and Booth together. The second episode was entertaining enough, but in both episodes, the bad guy was easy to catch. But this is Bones, after all. Bones has a formula for each episode, and once you figure it out, you will always catch the baddie before Booth does.

The girlfriend is a complete failure for this show. The show’s writers informed us via spoilers that the Hannah/Bones/Booth triangle will NOT be a jealous triangle. In fact, what will complicate matters is that Hanna and Bones are going to become friends.

WHY?

Why not give us what we want? At this point, we would love to hate Booth’s pretty new girlfriend. It would be much more fun if this woman was kind of a jerk but Booth was too blinded to see it. We want to hate her, so why do they have to try to make her cool? Why don't they just give us what we want? So we have found something to hate about her no matter how cool the writers try to make her: her voice. She sounds like she’s fighting a cold that she got at her sorority…in Spain. We hear a slight hint of a Spanish accent even though this woman is not Spanish. It might be a Ukrainian accent, since the actress is fluent in Ukranian, but we doubt it. Whatever the accent, she sounds immature and like she’s trying to be sexy. Other than that, actress Katheryn Winnick is sort of cool. She has a third degree black belt in tae kwon do, a second degree black belt in karate, and is a licensed bodyguard. She also got kicked out of summer camp for reckless behavior when she was 14, and her brother is fighting in Afghanistan.

We want to hate her character, and we will succeed. But props to the actress for being awesome.

  1. I only discover bones this year, I managed to watch almost all the seasons but I don/t since I haent been waiting that long for booth and bones to get together I can't share everyone annoyance at the time its taken. lucky for me I guess. anyway the maybe the Hannah plot is a big step in the direction of b and b getting together, last season was all about Booth realizing he loved bones and i think this season will be about bones realizing she loves booth. so we're definatly one step closer.
    Do you guys want the show to go one after the inevitable union?

  3. Yeah, we do. But we want them to write them well together/the season to be good.

    We agree that the Hannah thing will push them closer. It has just been so long for us, haha
