PSYCH!!! Fooled you! I know that “Bones”promised it wouldn’t be a dream sequence or hallucination and that Booth and Bones would get together for real, but they pulled one over on you! It was a book! Get it! Bones was writing her next book while she was waiting for Booth to wake up after his brain surgery. They got together IN THE BOOK!
Bones erases the last paragraph, which is Sweets’s voice over a la Carrie Bradshaw stating that “the thought of losing so much control over personal happiness is unbearable…” She looks at the hospital bed where Booth lies still, his head swathed in bandages. He mumbles, “I had such a weird dream” to nobody in particular. Bones jumps to her feet. “You’re awake!” “So are you,” is the witty but drug-slowed reply. Bones tells him that the operation was a success but he reacted to the anesthesia and has been in a coma for four days. Booth stares up at the teary-eyed smiling angel looking down at him and can only think of one thing to say. “Who are you?”
***
Seriously, show. Seriously?!?! Like the faked-out relationship wasn’t enough of a disappointment? (But not a surprise.) Now you are pulling a make-shift Bobby Ewing? The first thing out of his mouth next episode had bloodly well better be “Gotcha, Bones! What happened to Charlie Dunwood?” or you and I are going to have serious words.
“Bones”, you have been renewed for two more years on Fox. Come back with a whole new attitude, ‘kay? Because while you had some fun episodes, the overall tone this year became a little unbearable with the Anvils of Unresolved Sexual Tension. The Gravedigger resolution was almost as disappointing as the Zach/Gormogon revelation. On the other hand, Hodgins and Angela were delightful (with the exception of the single horny, celibate Angela episode), Sweets found a personality and some backbone and Angela got a bit more history. All the rotating interns were a bit much, but if you want to settle on a couple of them, that would be fine. Even Jared grew on me.
And please, God, don’t make Bones pregnant. No baby. Truly, we don’t actually want Booth and Bones to get together. We want to want them to get together. The fun is in the anticipation, not the resolution.
Have a happy hiatus! See you in the fall.
Actually, it was Hodgins who was narrating, NOT Sweets or Gordon. In the episode, Hodgins was the writer. And there's a deeper subplot for long-time Bones fans.
That was Hodgins? I watched three times and couldn't tell. It makes sense though, being as he played the writer. Good catch!
I've watched Bones since the beginning to but the subplot escaped me. Hint?

There are definitely some hints ;)
I think the episode was fantastic, shocking, but great…
I liked this episode for all the in-jokes. It was written with the fans in mind. The ending (hospital scene) was disappointing for me, though.

i think bones and booth should have a baby who said they should not it would be great for them to have one and this show was great this season was fantastic and i cant wait till the next to seasons to see wat happends between the two of them.
I like the dynamic of Brennan and Booth, I really do. But I can't think of a single television show that improved once the leads got together and had a baby. I prefer that they keep the romance between the secondary characters like Hodgins and Angela (which was developed really well) and leave us wanting it between the main characters.
You get two more years so see if they do get together.

Great recap, Featherlite! Have you heard from the frigging publisher yet?? ;)
I knew it was Hodges' narrating…but sub-plot- no idea. I am SO pissed that they actually did a dream sequence/hallucination…didn't I say that the week before?? Stupid show…not the best way to end what I think was their worst season.
Not sure what I think about the baby thing. Bones as a mother? *shudders*

I don't think they can afford to have another book. Do you want to see something absurd? Go here: http://www.amazon.com/Bones-Buried-Max-Allan-Coll…
Yeah, that's right. A book based on the series based on the books.
How could I have ever confused TJ Thyme's voice with John Francis Daley's?

Yes, it was HODGINS narrating (he was the novelist in the alternate reality). Hart Hanson has said that it wasn't necessarily Booth's dream, or Brennan's book, but rather "a meeting of two minds." We'll have to wait and see what that means. The narration was actually rather revealing about the real Brennan. I actually loved the episode, particularly in additional viewings. As someone said, it had a lot of things for long-time "Bones" fans.
Also, Hart Hanson said on Twitter that we have not seen the last of the Gravedigger. "Brennan should not have hit her with the briefcase like that." We'll be seeing her again.
I wouldn't mind a return of the Gravedigger. Especially if they gave her a partner. Aside from the suspended disbelief of her physically carting Booth out a window and down a fire escape, I thought she had the right mental attitude to be the Gravedigger.
It was fun to see the actors out of character. It took me a good 10 minutes to realize who C-Sync was. Vaziri was also hard to spot. It's nice to see the actors get to stretch a litte.
The narration did say a lot about Brennan. If they manage to work it into next season and stop treating her like a social idiot, I'll be thrilled.
