Bones Fall Preview on Fox.com

[Only admins are allowed to see this link]

Ok, this has almost the entire scene on the steps ... well it cuts off right before Booth answers that infamous question.

Also, TJ and Michaela introduce the clip. I posted in the other cast thread ... they had Bones stars introducing all these clips for the various Fox shows. I put this one here though since it's very spoilery. The others you can watch without being spoiled, if you stop after the Bones people talk.

I can't believe the whole 1st episode has pretty much been spoiled LOL. I was holding my breath watching this one, and yelled at my computer when it cut off. Yeah, I'm gonna need medication to get through this season.

I think I can see the dynamic shift even in this clip ... Brennan is flirting but Booth isn't playing along.

Except for the "awwww, Bones"

Yea, but he didn't lean toward her when he "awwwww'd." And he didn't overreact when she said she'd been attacked, although that might've been more because he obviously knew she was ok at that moment. I might be reading too much into this but it really fits with the Brennan will be chasing Booth stuff we've been hearing.

great clip....I won't share my opinions about it, because I'll get my head bit off since I'm a Booth supporter...so all I will say is that I am quite looking forward to seeing this episode....

I am a Booth supporter as well. I liked the clip, it's cute he bought pictures for her. And I don't think Booth wasn't acting like he had interest (romantically) because he did ask if she had met anyone. I feel if he did more it'd be that leading her on territory since he is involved with someone else.

Cruel, that was cruel.

The countdown has begun. I've managed to survive the summer but I'm starting to feel the withdrawal now. Can't wait for the new season to begin.

What I don't get in this preview is why Booth brings up the "did you meet anyone special" question if he's actually serious about you-know-who? It just seems a bit cruel. If it was just a fling-sort-of-thing and he thought they wouldn't see each other again after he left Afghanistan, then I understand the question better. Well, it'll be interesting to hear what he answers Brennan.

And I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought it looked like Brennan was flirting with Booth but that he wasn't responding the way he used to, but then again maybe it's the first time seeing each other after X number of months and he's a bit shy.

Oh and I love this part:
Booth: You beat up armed guerillas?!?
Brennan: I had to! You weren't there to save me.

Btw, was it just my imagination/wishful thinking or did it looked like Brennan was thinking like "please say no!" when she asked Booth "How about you?"

Ho how we read so much into 1minute 22 seconds and probably 30 of that was mikayla and TJ. I am goingto try to love watching Booth resist a little Brennan, I'm a big Brennan fan but I think it's part of her growth that she has to fight for it a bit and really know that whole you don't know what ya got till it's gone addage. And as for Booth... You know he's going to end up back to where he was totally head over heels for Brennan you can't deny "the one" "the standard"
Any who I think 7 months have let him forget how incredible Bren is I can so totally see her kicking armed gorilla Ass even if he seemed a bit oh yeah sure you did about it.
Less than 20 days to go people then we get 42 minutes of it

I'm starting to get a little confused over the whole Booth/Hannah thing....things are already starting to appear to me ateast that things really may not be what they seem here.
Booth hooks up with Hannah, they have a fling, he leaves to go back to DC expecting never to see her again.
B&B have the discussion on the steps she asks him if he met anyone. I'm really curious to see how this conversation goes down. It's safe to assume he tells Brennan about Hannah because she asks if it's serious and he has the cell phone pictures that he's oh so happy to show off.
THIS is where it gets confusing for me. He left Hannah, not expecting to see her again, so wouldn't you think that he broke it off with her? And if he broke it off with her, why would he be throwing her picture in everyone's face?
Then going back to the interview with SN where he said Booth absolutely did not expect Hannah to show up in DC, at the time it sounded like that was meant to be a negative thing. The fact that she followed him was not welcome or something.
Going by the sides,Booth is all happy to see her, and moves her in, but the promo with the diner scene where she shows up and trys to suck his face off- the way he is sitting there with Brennan and when he sees her he kinda gets that "oh shit" look on his face- IDK 2 different vibes going on there IMO.
Maybe I'm over thinking it or reading too much into it. But is it REALLY going to take him at least 7-10 episodes (by my calculations,nothing confirmed yet) to figure out that he's really not over Brennan? Or is Hannah going to turn out to be some crazy psycho stalker chick?

Aww, don't feel that way, speak up!! (pretend the this is a hug icon)

Although I have noticed that this place has got a little cranky, snarky the last few months.

Kinda jumping on each others pov, negative on positive and postive on negative. *Not much room for a middle ground* I get that some fans are ticked at Hart and Co. but lets play nice with each other, is my wish.



Now baring in mind it is a uber short clip, I thought the clipped played well, Booth and Brennan are in a different place emotionally. We have to remember that they are friends here, that was the decision. So Booth has Hannah now so he can't be all flirty flirty with Brennan but there is still a warmth of affection with her, between them. And Brennan being a little more aware of Booth and what that could mean, but how aware is another question for another day. Or you know when I get to watch the episode..

IDK 2 different vibes going on there IMO.

I think that's the point that they are trying to get across....Booth is going to struggle having both women in his life at the same time.

And when Brennan is attempting to flirt, of course Booth would ignore that...she was the one was said she only wanted to work with him...

@MI_Bonesgirl yep, it is confusing. I look at it this way. We have spoiler over load.

We have so much spin, soundbites, writeups, interviews, info from the sides - that it is very hard to know what is fact or fiction, or what is just spin. So it is hard to put the pieces together correctly and quite honestly it is imposibble to make sense of.

Like one soundbite said that Booth was showing off his pic to everyone BUT that was contradicted by another reviewer on Twitter, who has saw the S6 premier and clarified Booth didn't do that and shows his photo of Hannah to only 2 people and only does so cos they asked him to. Who knows what is going on!

Now, if I had to guess, Booth is shocked that Hannah turned up D.C. cos a) she didn't tell him she was coming, b) that she give up her job and got a new one without telling him - which is quite a big thing to do and not inform the other of. Not necessarily that they aren't a couple, maybe they planned for her to come to D.C after her time was up.

But then again, my prediction skills are hit and miss - just like spoilers and speculation. Man, how much easier would it be if there were never such a thing as spoilers to tempt us with and go over!

Don't do that, share your opinions they're just as valuable as everyone else's.

I said I think I feel a shift in their dynamic here, but I didn't say it was a bad thing. I think it'll be weird for me to watch but I think it's going to lead somewhere good and if they do it correctly, I think I'll be able to enjoy this storyline. And also, this is a 60 second (if that) clip, so really not even enough to speculate about, but we still have 3 weeks left and I'm bored.

@Mi_Bonesgirl Same here. I'm totally confused ...because it seems like we are getting two different vibes.

I don't think Booth no flirting Brennan doesn't mean he's not interest in her romantically. First of all, she said she just wanted to be friends/partners, so he's going to try and ignore it, and he has Hannah, so I wouldn't expect him to be all flirty. SN described it perfectly: Booth will come back thinking he's moved on, but he'll discover that Hannah just isn't his Bones-and she is the ONE.

I'm gonna say.....that booth and hannah didn't exactly break up when he left. If he left so suddenly it was probably just one of those odd/awkward...'i have to go' type things. They both most likely knew it would end after a year anyway when he went home. They were probably just living in that moment and not thinking about it. So, when she shows up, he is completely stunned b/c him going back to DC is like....him going back to his real life. Since she's there he thinks, hey, why not? And continues a relationship with her.

I don't believe what DB says. DB makes it seem like he is only with Hannah to make Brennan jealous. I mean sure, maybe a tiny part of him is. But, to me, Booth is most likely just trying to test the waters and see if he really and truly can move on. Which, is harder to do at home in DC when the love of your life is around 24/7.

I could see both showing Cam and Angela a pic if they asked.

I already see a difference in their dynamic. Which, I have to admit, is scary for me. The last thing I want is for them to drift apart. So I hope after they get back into things it's still not that way. Booth deff seems to be distancing himself. Emotionally. They kinda have switched roles. Brennan is now flirty. I guess that's the point. That she's the one doing the chasing.

My question is. Does she know it? Has she had her 'aha' moment? I know that was just a short little preview. But, she sure looks like a girl who is into her man.

My heart is absolutely breaking for Brennan. However, I'm finding that I didn't actually hate Booth in this scene (yet), and I was completely prepared to want to punch his lights out.

But my favorite part of the clip was "come on, they didn't even show the part where he-" "no, no they have to watch!"

So true!

I can't help but wonder if this isn't something HH & co perhaps are doing on purpose. Maybe they want to mess with us "die hard fans" as we are most likely the ones who read everything and anything that is written about the upcoming season...

I've asked myself that same question. I'm sort of hoping she hasn't, but that we will see her "journey" towards that "aha moment". She has most likely been missing Booth (she had to beat up guerillas as Booth wasn't there to save her, for instance...) and now when they are back working together again she starts realizing that she's behaving a bit "odd" in the presence of Booth...which will lead to her putting two and two together...

I am a Booth supporter. There isn't much his character could do that would change that. [Only admins are allowed to see this image]

Thanks, who knows, there could be foilers or deliberate misdirection - and they will never tell us what is going to happen, they want us to tune in to find out - I also think that we big up spoilers too much and project what we want into them as fans, so when what we want to happen doesn't transpire in the epi, we maybe get mad at Hart but when in fact it was never his intention to have that plot or character development in the first place - what we think/hope is going to happen and what actually happens are usually two different things -- idk, did that make sense?
