5x16 The Parts in the Sum of the Whole ~ SHOW DISCUSSION

I can't stop watching the kiss and the last scene! Each time I notice tiny little things that I didn't before. Like the look on Brennan's face when she realizes what Booth is saying. And the music. The music just goes with the scene so well! It makes it so much more emotional to watch.

I love this show and all of the cast and the characters they potray. The way David and Emily did that last sciene I felt like I was watching real people suffering, it chrushed my heart.

I completely agree with you. Confession: I've seen it three times already and I'm watching it again tonight! It moves me more and more each time.

Everything makes so much more sense now - Brennan's reluctance to even consider a relationship with Booth or admit that he's attractive in those first seasons. The parental issues that played a part even in the beginning, though Booth didn't know it. How his gambling stopped because of her. Thank you TPTB for this episode!

I'm convinced now more than ever that these two will end up together. In a way, the dam was broken last night: they know that romantic feelings exist between each other (they kissed! ) and even though Brennan isn't ready yet, they can never go backwards. It will always be there!

Totally awesome episode!!! I can't wait for next week!

In the past i have no enjoyed episodes to their full potential because i have been spoiler before hand. Coming into the episode i knew what was going to happen, yet i still was so emotional. I knew he came to her and she pushed him back away, but the acting and the raw emotion just got me and the reaction i had to this scene is so weird, i have never been so attached to a scene like that, these actors are amazing. Purely amazing, and i have been angry at hart ever since tEitB (and yes i aware that i am highly childish, but he lied :O) but finally for the first time i love him!!

Agreed 100%. I have a running list of "Best Hours of TV EVER" (yes, I happily wave my geek flag), and this one just jumped up to the top, baby!

I completely agree with that! Although I knew what was going to happen... I almost cry in the last moments! The look on Brennan's face was brilliant (Emily Deschanel is such a great actress!) when she is waiting for Booth to answer if they are going to work together (For me, that moment was the most heartbreaking) !! Or how his voice trembled when he said that he was going to move on... or the evident pain when she said "I know"
Amazing!! I watch it yesterday and I am still shocked about it!

Those acting skills in the last scene were absolutely phenomenal, some of the best you can get. We could see everything the characters were feeling and thinking and most of the time they hadn't said anything at all. If this episode doesn't win us at least one award, at least for the fantastic directing then I don't know what will.

I agree 100% the acting was amazing! Knowing roughly what was going to happen before hand softened the blow, so I wasn't disappointed, but David ad Emily still made that scene heartbreaking!

I'd love to see the script for the last scene, just to know if things like her pushing him away and the pleading look she gave him when she asked if they could still work together, were scripted or whether it was David and Emily improv.

The more I watch the episode the less I believe that Booth went home that night, instead of going into the Pool hall. I think the biggest indicator that he may be lying about it, is initially his story starts off with a lie. " I was at a gamblers anonymous meeting" and yeah, he was actually in a pool hall gambling, and the way he says the sentence " and I.......went home too" the pause in the middle is also indicative of a lie. (of course they showed what really happened on screen when he was lying about the GA meeting, and they did show him actually walking away in that scene so maybe he did walk away)

I said this in the spoiler thread, what I love about that scene is it is so ambiguous, it can be taken either way.

This is why i think GG's advice was patience. because i think GG could see how Bones really felt, but he knew that she was not ready to risk Booths heart. I think he could see how far she had come, but that she still is not ready for that relationship so he told Booth to wait. I also think that Bones is okay with risking her heart, but is not okay with risking another's, that is how far she has come.

Very late reply because I just watched the episode but WOAH!
Amazing episode. The ending made me cry. Bones is terrified to mess it up, she's scared to death, it breaks my heart.
Brilliant episode, just brilliant and I'm hard to satisfy.
And as for whole storyline I love her pushing him away now because in the long shot Booth is not the one to go to her anymore now it's her time to go to him, which makes it so much more precious than if it would be other way around.
And not really worried about "oh maybe she'll realize it too late" because writers can't do that to us.

LOVED IT!!!
i htink everything fit perfectly!!! In my opinion they did a great job with the continuation!
And i think they main problem people have with the continuation, was cam because she said she didnt not know Bones in titan, but i actually think it fits for these reasons

-Bones doesn't remember her, why would embarrass herself by saying she knew her
-she could have wanted to make a better impression, i mean the first time they met Bones was rude, so if Cam pretends she doesn't remember her, she can not only make a better impression but she can be a total b**** as well, kinda like pay back!
- She didn't want to be shut down again, Bones was rude so best thing is to lie ad forget about it.

And anyway, even though i think it fits, if other people dont i think you should just forget it, Cam deserves to bee in the 100th so if they have to bend it a bit, hey who cares!

also just randomly this episode puts everything into perspective, and adds a new element, the acting was great and all u guys who are unhappy about Bones rejecting him, it would have been stupid for her to say yes, because it is not in her character, her character moves slowly and does nut jump into things like that. ANd also wouldn't you all like then to not "give it a go" but get together. And also don't you think it would be better for Bones to suggest it, now the ball is in her court and it will make it better when hey get together. Once they get together, all their

Oh one more thing, going to be cheesy and post song lyrics, that pretty much sums up Brennan's line of emotions. But that's me...I love cheesy.

You said it again
My heart's in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
I'm at the edge of my emotions
Watchin' the shadows burnin' in the dark

And I'm in love
And I'm terrified
For the first time
And the last time
In my only life.

that was a beautiful episode. i love how we see the changes between Booth and Bones. Im cant stop watching it and for someone who doesnt cry i was almost balling my eyes at the end. She will figure it out one day but at least it is out there in the open now. How beautiful was the quote in the ast scene.

I just wanted to mention that I LOVE that Brennan influenced Booth right from the beginning and helped him to become what he is now.

I noticed that Stephen Fry was at the end of season celebration on Wednesday. Is it possible that GG is going to be in the season finale to help Booth and Brennan see how much of a heart person Brennan has become.

I think HH said he couldn't get Stephen Fry back for the rest of the season because Stephen is working on his book and has a deadline to meet, but who knows, they could surprise us.

Can I just quickly ask - where does Parker fit in with the timeline established by the 100th episode - I'm thinking Parker was a baby when B/B first met?

And that the woman who didn't like his hours was possibly (although not necessarily) Tessa?

I'm just thinking of implications and actually loving how this pre-pilot take has added so many layers to the previous 99 episodes.

I think it was stated that parker was 3 in the christmas episode of season 1? If so this would have him around 18 months old give or take a few months.

Slightly of topic on what you guys are chatting on but i have to say that booth and bones little snuggle at the end where she sorta nudged him before like grabbing his arm and laying her head on him and he layed his headon hers made up the whole rejection thing for me anyway swagger

Me too!! It was like... "I undestand what you have just told me and I don't put the blame on you so we should keep things exactly like it were before"

Oh yes, many layers indeed!

As for Parker, Booth mentioned earlier this season (I think in the one where Brennan gives them a key, sorry, the title is escaping me) that Parker is 8. So, that would make him born approximately around 2001/early 2002. 100th flashback takes place in 2004, so Parker was probably around 2.

Yep that's about right!
In the man in the fallout shelter I think Booth says Parker is 4, so a year before the pilot he would be like 2 or 3!
