Is There a Pro-Hannah Media Push?

Nathan's remarks about Booth topedoing the relationship because of unresolved feelings for Brennan and Hart's interview about how Hannah is perfect but not Brennan are now putting the emphasis on post-Hannah which I find interesting.

I think they are getting increasingly nervous about ratings and that the reason so many other networks have piled it on Thursday nights at 8:00 is that like the good piranhas they are, they smell blood in the water.

I do agree with this. The preview review is great -love having it and what I read - but I did notice that they made a point of saying that Raghag wasn't in it- just her picture and she is talked about. It was definitely written to pull in the internet crowd. . I may be wrong about this, but while we had a zillion spoilers last year, I don't remember there being an out-and-out review like this. Notice they didn't talk about the case either. It's like they know the case is not whatpeople care about - Bones is NOT CSI. It's going to be an interesting few weeks. Let the games begin!

Also the bloggers who are reviewing Bones, and there have been a dozen tweets from different ones, depend on the goodwill of the producers to get interviews. And their jobs depend on those interviews. Most of them bend over backward to be positive about the show, all the shows, to the point where I read one review that didn't like the Bones finale but when questioned on camera by the producer claimed they just loved it. I'm not saying they're dishonest just overly positive.

If you take the Bones peoples' interviews with a grain of salt, I would say take the on-line reviews that way as well. None of them have the power that someone like the New York Times t.v. critic has, to say in print, 'hey, this show stinks' and still keep on writing and still getting access to that show.

Then again, perhaps the reviewer liked the show and what they said was exactly what they thought with no ulterior motives.

Then why would they write the opposite a few weeks before?
