Bones：Unrequited Love Episode After Episode Eroding Other Aspects
Five years on, the
episode
after
episode inability of Booth and
Bones to come together as other than crime partners is wearing thin. The first four
seasonswere highly comedic and capitalized on
Bones 's and Booth's relationship as a crime fighting duo who were also reluctantly attracted to one another. However, this
season
, they are a mess over one another. He is clearly and unequivocally in love. She is also in love but is scared to death of ever acting on it. This conflict occurs in every single
episode. I frankly think to break this impasse it would be better to marry them off and then have the comedic friction come from their problems as a Nick and Nora Charles type couple ("The Thin Man"). The unrequited love is sapping the considerable energy and magic of this
show plus
Bones and Booth as a comedic detective team. Fortunately, the development of Hodkins and Angela is a lot more satisfying for the viewer. We also have another wonderful guest appearance by Stephen Fry as Gordon Gordon, psychiatrist turned chef. The "X Files" developed the same unrequited problem as it continued and it took 9
seasons
to bring Mulder and Scully together. Yes, I kept watching and will keep watching this
show for the very same reason, i.e. the
episodes week to week make it worth it. The forensic cases week after week, the interaction of the full cast, the
comedy involving the full cast, all of this makes it worth while watching week after week. But the unrequited love over nine
seasonsmade the final few
seasons of the "X files" barely watchable and I hope that doesn't happen here.
