I for one hope this isn't the case but from what I'm hearing this is the path the show runners are going for.

You obviously haven't "heard" much in that case if you're coming to THAT conclusion THIS early.

Woah! What's up monkey? Minns is expressin an opinion. No need to snap. Take it easy, we all love the show so much that we have to criticize with the hope they go back to what they use to do before and even better.

Yes, but I think it's better to wait for the first few episodes to air before passing this sort of judgment - optimistic or cynical.

I can manage, oddly enough, to be both cynical and open-minded. I don't like what I hear, previous experience has made me wary, but I can still watch and wait and see. I was very nervous about Harbingers, for example, and yet most of S5 was quite good, just as an example. Read my Inkslingers if you don't believe me.

I'm just as wary about S6, in all honesty. Maybe a touch more, given the circumstances.

One thing I totally don't agree with is that according to you Booth will not be as big a part of her life; if they take that away, then you will remove the center. So, I don't believe that any GF or SO for Brennan will be in the show for a long time. Coz otherwise they can't keep the focus on B&B. It's not a show about Booth and his GF or a show about Brennan and her SO, no, it's a show about B&B and I'm sure it will stay that way.
And noone can predict what Brennan will do or how she will react. She's Brennan, and what you will think of a logic way in reacting, she won't do. That's my opinion.

People can read, or hear the same thing and come up with different opinions on what was read or heard. This is what makes us humans unique. We think, hear and see differently. Forums are for people to express these views. I respect others views that are different than mine, I hope others feel the same way. It is fun to come to forums to express these different views.

Yes, you are right. But a little while ago, I was also totally fed up with people reading bits of sides and making all kinds of negative suggestions about it. We all don't know what's gonna happen, sides or no sides, spoilers or no spoilers. I remember DB saying that in the finale of S5 lips will be locked and what happened? NOTHING! So, before you believe everything they say, maybe it's better to stick around and see what will really happen.

At comic-con David made the comment that everything would be o.k. between B&B, but Emily refuted his statement and said she didn't think so. Emily tends to tell the truth more, and David tends to tell it not so much. This is why I think that this season there will be more rocky moments than sweet ones between B&B. While the show is centered around their relationship, I think the writers are going try and tone down the B&B romance part and build more on the friendship. Hart retweeted a comment someone made about how his /her fanfic audience wanted them to put B&B together and once it happened there was nothing more to write about. This says to me that he feels keeping them apart will get them more material and more seasons.

I sometimes feel that they don't really get why the fans are starting to get disenchanted with the show. I do believe they will mess around with the Booth and Brennan relationship this season. Will we the fans like this? Probably not! At this point there is really no set direction that this show is following anymore. Stephen has basically said they are winging it. They have no set plan with what will happen between Booth and Brennan so really anything is game to them. I feel like the writers are out of touch with what we want to see. I miss the slow dance that was Booth and Brennan. Their relationship has turned into some kind of freaky break dance. It has become painful to watch these two great characters fall apart. Will this turn around. After the past two seasons I have very little faith.

Then don't watch.

EXACTLY! Probably the smartest thing to do if you don't like what's happening. Why pretend to like something when you don't.

I think she should pull away - like for 5 episodes. That way once Raghag is gone, Booth can miss
what he had with Brennan - and Brennan can get over seeing him with Raghag. Supposedly the idea is she believes he's happy...she'll have to process that what was "happy" wasn't. There can. Be all these cute B&B moments where they act like old times - and then Brennan remember she remembers she needs to keep emotional distance and pulls away. It could even overlap Booth's time with Raghag. Booth gets to remember and miss what he had and Brennan gets time to process. Definetely not the whole season though - and NO Brennan SO! Evil or Very Mad

Ummm....jealousy and meltdowns doesn't sound like backing off from the B&B romance. I understand that everyone has their own way of seeing things, but to me, it sounds like are going to continue moving forward with B&B's romance...It's gonna happen eventually. Very Happy

I totally agree with you, Kat. I think it's so ridiculous how much time people spend speculating what's going to happen based on interviews and sides. Forget what the writers say. Forget what the actors say. We have know idea what's going to happen. Hart could be planning to get B&B together right now or he could be thinking of ways to keep them apart. We DON'T know. Let's just wait see and what is actually being portrayed by the actors.

Same logic Charlie Brown uses with Lucy when he's trying to kick the football.

Guessing is irrelevant. Speculation is futile.

They'll be out next week-ish, according to (Josh I think) on Twitter, they'll be out in two weeks. And he posted that either late last week or early this week.

Let's remind ourselves that spoilers, sides and things people involved with the show say, are at best cryptic/hard to interpret without their context and at worst deceptive/meant to lead us on the wrong path. And then there's the issue of all three usually being based on early versions of the scripts, even just discussions internally. Scripts change all the time. It can be drastic because the early version just doesn't work/somebody powerful doesn't like it (studio, Fox, Hanson, maybe even at times Emily D or David B), it can be minor (story flow, character history/precedents, factual errors, etc.), it can be technical (not enough time to shoot, too much footage for 1 episode, set too expensive or unavailable, character breaks a leg, etc.). In short, there are many perfectly normal/honest reasons for what we think is going to happen, not to happen. toast
