Re: Season 5 wishlist...

So anyway, reeeeeeling this one back in, in a valiant effor to get back on topic (what can I say? I love lost causes.) I think our wish list - at least from the shipper perspective is covered. Other than our favorite pair making some real progress and getting together what else do we want to see?

Me, personally, I'd love to see some Booth/Sweets and Booth/Hodgins bonding. I think Booth needs some male friends. He needs guys who understand him, and like it or not, those two get him, more or less. What do y'all think?

Forgive my little princess, the new scrip takes some getting used to but I'll talk to the doctor about switching her to Haloperidol for her Tourette's .

Wendell could be a good mechanism for that.

Waiting your drugging me and running my loved ones over with buses? You're a horrible father. And daddy? I am a lost cause.

Which is why I like Wendell for Zach's replacement. VNM would be great from Brennan's perspective but he'd drive Booth nuts and I can't see them ever really bonding, but Wendell and Booth already have a connection. So I can totally see that working out.

Right, I'm upping the dosage.

I don't have tourettes you're going to kill me. Why do you hate me. I have a crush on. Nigel Murray. Wendell too. Both are perfect for the position.

Rob, where's the bottle of meds? I can take that over while you're plotting to take over the known world. Wink

*pats Ella's hand comfortingly*

Back on topic... I agree that Wendell would be a better match, since he has one foot in each camp, so to speak. He's smart, a squint, but he's also a guy, plays hockey, social. And I think Booth & Hodgins have already bonded, we just don't see it. Though in the current circumstances, it would be a case of re-bonding. Forget Sweets. It would take a hell of lot to make Booth truly bond with him.

Dude! What is it with you people and sharp, pointy objects? I swear next time I'm coming in here with my Beretta and a cup.

See that's why I think Wendell is the natural pick for Brennan's intern. That plus I think she's bonded with him more than anyone other than VNM (who she respects for his intelligence). I keep going back to FitI, she is more openly friendly toward Wendell than any other intern and I think he's the only one she's never yelled at.

The thing about Booth and Sweets, I agree it'll be a mountain coming to mohammed moment when they bond but I can see it happening in one of those situations where the two of them are kidnapped or somehow forced to rely on one another to escape some murderous psycho's clutches. I mean assuming Booth doesn't snap Sweets' neck first. So 50/50 odds.

Slides meds to the Queen under the table.

You can't make me take the meds. I can kick ya know.

Not I. I think Robbie's been...misdiagnosing you and giving you unnecessary meds--he's been so distracted recently. Let Aunt Dawn take care of it. BTW, would you prefer M&Ms, Smarties, or some other small candy? Wink

*takes bottle* Hmmm. I see. Maybe a little off--let me go fix that!

work with me here, El!

See, I told you. Besides, Robbie-boy has to reel it in or he'll scare off Emily...

Now, I really must be heading off to bed so I can earn the pittance the county gives for jury duty. If he scares you again, dear, just remind him that I'm armed for bear and all that. And that you've taken your meds already. Wink

Thanks auntie dawn! Night night!

Okay, okay, I yield to the alpha females in the room. I wasn't going to win anyway. Night my Queen, have fun with Jury duty - are we hoping to get a case, to get out of it, or to be left in the room watching TV and eating donuts? Last time out I caught a case, armed robbery, it was pretty interesting.

You're trying to kill your daughter by giving her unnecessary medications.... Crazy dad!

Two against one are good odds...

And donuts? Boy, you must live in a decent county! They don't feed us--say you get less per day or something. Anyway, they excused us quite early today, which I was happy about (along with the rest of the room). One case was settled without trial and the other decided they wanted a bench judgement. Funniest thing was, I was one of the last out of the room and the attendant is hissing into the phone, "But I just released them!" Guess someone changed their minds Laughing

Too late!

by THX1138 Tue Aug 11, 2009 9:30 am

Too funny. I got stuck as an alternate on my last time out. Then one of the juror's got sick so I had to actually step in and do the job on the second day. whoop-de-freakin' do. $32 a day, stale donuts and bad coffee - trust me you aren't missing anything unless you've got teeth that can chew through concrete the donuts aren't a plus. (though they were passable if you dunked them in the swill that passed for coffee).

$32! *spits water on monitor* Damn! I should come live where you are! $17 lousy bucks a day, no donuts, just overpriced vending machines...

queen

on the other hand, Indiana (or parts therein) are only $12--or so I hear. *Unhijacks thread*
