Definitely no Hannah

The critics are all watching the premier right now-can't wait to hear their thoughts

No VISIBLE Raghag, doesn't mean she won't be brought up. Still, I'm glad she's not mentioned in the Press Release, and also will be interested in some of the critics' reviews. Like the ones who just LOVED the end of the 100th - if they HATE the premier we are GOLDEN.

Looks pretty positive on the premier so far- I'm waiting for Marisa's take on it.
And yes, Hannah is brought up in the premier.

Oh I'm sure she's brought up, in fact I would imagine that Booth mentions her right after Brennan asks if he met anyone. But she won't be viewable on the TV screen.

Apparently he brags to everyone who will listen about how happy he is. Ugh this is gonna suck- get ready for the Booth hate everyone, it's gonna be a bumpy ride.....

This tidbit gives me a yucky feeling. Although I kind of thought it might be that way-Booth asking Brennan if she met anyone while she was away just seemed to be to be his way of getting her to ask the same of him so he could tell her.

Phew. Buckles up and takes deep (calming??) breaths. It all works out eventually it all works out eventually it all works out eventually. Thsi doesn't mean I'm not mad. I'm just trying not to show it.

...I maybe a little mad at Booth, but I don't think I could ever "hate" him. I just hope the thing about how he "torpedoes" the relationship is true-which could mean anything from actually breaking up with the Raghag to just doing something that causes her to leave him. Personally, I hope he dumps Hannah, not because Brennan gives him the green light, but because he realizes that it's not working out...we all know Hannah will leave eventually.

I could never hate Booth either. I'm team B&B all the way, but it might get a little uncomfortable and I might need to remove all things smashable from within my reach while I watch the first third of the season.

Same here. I still don't like this storyline and I probably won't watch it because I don't want my cranium to be scared with images of Booth/Hannah together...but I could never hate Booth. I just pray that the "torpedoe" thing is true. What SN describes does make sense-once he's away from Brennan, he's able to move on because she's out of sight, out of mind, but when he comes back to DC and sees Brennan on a regular basis, she has to have some effect on his new relationship.

Ditto. Don't hate Booth, but TOTALLY skipping the premier and first 4 episodes. Wasn't sure about the premier, but watching Booth brag about RagHag - I watch tv to relax and enjoy - the upcoming stuff will provide neither.
