worryingly jolly batman

labellementeuse: how was Bones?
lady_larla: well i was less put off by it than i thought i would be
lady_larla: it healed a bit of the pain from the 100th episode. but my heart did break a bit for brennan
labellementeuse: awwww :(
lady_larla: i know, sadness, but i think maybe they can actually progress a bit from now.. it somehow feels like emotionally the show had got a bit stuck and this episode was a good place to progress from , i dunno
labellementeuse: that's really optimistic
labellementeuse: because I know what you mean by emotionally stuck.
lady_larla: yeh it was just ohh poor booth and brennan , poor brennan does she know what she's missing for at least 10 episodes now, and you know after a point you say well ffs decide what you're gonna do with it and actually just do it and lets just see where that takes us, im tired of the sad droopy pathetic faces. i watch bones cause i love the jokes and camaraderie and the fact that they try to find hope in the sad horrible cases, and all you're giving me is misery, gah. ok rant over ( i hope)
labellementeuse: hee
labellementeuse: good rant!
labellementeuse: I totes know what you mean.
lady_larla: yay! i like it when people understand without examples!
labellementeuse: <3
lady_larla: <3
lady_larla: I am how ever fed up of Daisy, i say this with whatever kindness i have left.
labellementeuse: aw!
labellementeuse: Daisy!
labellementeuse: I like her! what did she do?
lady_larla: Somehow she rubs me the wrong way, i like her in small doses. I think she's brilliant, but unlike with Brennan who sort of really just had know clue with stuff, Daisy just makes me feel more like really ? she's sneaky and lovable in the course of a 3 ep run and just i dunno, i think she is good in small doses, they've just had her as the "squintern" a lot this season and her squealing is getting to me. i don't dislike her, but i want more of the magic of the others, i thought that was actually working really well.
lady_larla: Also for my second rant of the day- are we ever going to see Zach again they left that on a cliff hanger and it was frustrating and sad, fix it ..grrr...
lady_larla: ( i am obviously on a roll tonight)
labellementeuse: hee, you ARE
labellementeuse: pent up Bones rage!

The point here is that Bones has always had a lot of good will from me but I feel like I agree more and more with Tas. It seems like it's becoming increasingly socially conservative: Bones has stopped being the voice of it-may-seem-weird-to-you-but-it's-normal-to-them in all situations except in the situations where it makes Bones look like an idiot (hello, Jersey Shore!). Meanwhile Seeley has continued to spout parochial conservative good ole boy judgementalism. Also Bones never shoots people or kicks them in the head anymore. Short version: man, I still love Hodgins and Angela, but I feel like no-one else on the show is the person they were when I started watching, and not in a good way. (And when was the last time Jack spouted a conspiracy theory, anyway? Oh yeah, that's right, they erased that entire significant and interesting aspect of his character which also offered a challenging voice to Booth in a thin pretext related to the worst move the show ever made.)
