I really enjoyed this take on all the character
and relationship development. I really believe
this writer watches Bones on a regular basis.

I have to say I love reading reviews because my attention and mind are usually drawn back to those points which I might not have realised earlier. The same thing happened this time since I hadn't actually thought of this role-reversal, but after reading this particular review,I whole-heartedly agree with the writer of the article.

One more comment. My dear friends! If we, viewers don't recognise the signs of how good BB's non-couple relationship function probably better that of other couples (like April and Sweets), then what should we expect from BB who are always at constant denial and comfortable with being blind?

I really loved this article; the writer must be a BONES fan, and my overall expression was that it wasn't just a job to get her through.

Uhhh, I have a word. Though sadly, I stole it from Brennan (Mummy in the Maze)...

But I don't really understand the first part (see space's comment) either. I just don't get what misogyny is supposed to mean in this context.

However, I had the feeling Sweets sees Brennan and Booth as role-models. He sees how they are bicker and tries it with April, but fails. I just didn't get to the next level to say they are a better couple than real ones.
But I reckon that Brennan does know there's more to Booth and her than being "Just partners". I'd say since Season 3. I watched some season 3 fanvids today and I must say that she looks at him like she's slowly falling for him (or sometimes head over heals).
And if you rewatch the scene in the hospital when she thanks Booth for Russ with this little peck. He has to gulp and his face has this look you don't have when you don't feel anything for someone.
In my opinion they are not blind, but they don't want to admit it to themselves.

However, thanks for posting, suzy!
