The Inkslingers - The Season 6 Showdown!

I agree, I am good.

You must be a really sweet guy. Either that or you still have some really good meds left from your surgery. Maybe there is a third possibility. You love the same women as Booth! How else could you be so generous in your interpretation of Hannah's motives?

The fact that she not only accepts Brennan in Booth's life but actively seeks her out and asks her advice, recognizing her pre-eminence in Booth's life, means to me that she's serious about making this life with Booth work.

Unless there is some yet unrevealed storyline, I would say Hannah recognizes the threat Brennan is to her relationship with Booth. She will stay close to Brennan in order stay between B&B.

I like to think of myself as a street-wise guy, but the truth is when it comes to women I'm as clueless as the next man sometimes 'cause I hadn't really given the idea that Hannah was befriending Brennan for shifty reasons any weight - I'd thought about it, but dismissed it. I guess I always err on the side of giving all y'all the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. So far, so good. Then again my gf is pretty awesome so my natural survival instincts are probably shot to hell.

As for Brennan, I doubt she will give Booth up so easily now that she feels the emptiness of his absence. She may think she will but she won't.

have to love how she's dealt with her transition from surrogate love interest to Booth to being just his friend and partner. Having come to terms with the fact that she loves Booth but also accepting that she's missed her chance with him, Brennan throws herself into the roles of partner and friend, going so far as to look out for Booth and warn Hannah off of hurting him.

This season Brennan will be learning what Pascal meant when he said, “The heart has its reasons which reason knows not."

I agree and, btw, totally love the Pascal quote. Hated his programming language, I always felt pressured to get things right, but his writings as a poet-philosopher always seemed like a safe bet.

Count the Pascal references in that last sentence.

About the housewarming party - I saw the tie in with Booth's coma dream. Angela not being able to drink wine wasn't the obvious "Ohh! I get it!" moment for most folks - there are multiple reasons Angie might not be able to have more wine, like she's the designated driver, so preggers wouldn't normally pop up on any man's radar but it did for Booth. Also the look on his face when he's talking to Ange was almost the same as when he was talking to Bren in his dream. Sorta weird really.

THIS THIS THIS. I'm glad I'm not the only one who caught that. The fact that Angela can't have wine anymore, That wide-eyed "No?", it was the exact same look on his face. I have my own theory about this season now and this most definitely ties into it.

Count the Pascal references in that last sentence. .

If you pressed me, I'd wager there are at least two indirect references.

Three actually, Pascal the programming language, Pascal as a unit of measurement for pressure, and Pascal's Wager (on the existence of God). I can't help it, I'm a geek.

I'd argue that the programming reference was a direct rather than indirect but maybe I shouldn't po two moderators in one session.

Meh, it's a fair cop. And don't worry, the other mods are push overs and I'm a pussy cat.

I like cats.

The Maggots in the Meathead
Yo! Yo! Yo! Booth and Brennan head to the Jersey Shore 'cause some Guido got hisself whacked an' the partners gotta deal with all his bros and their hos in an effory to find the killer. We get to watch Brennan go Jersey with the best of 'em, Booth crack a 'roid ragin' douche, an' out man a wanna be big man, all on the way to solving the case. Oh, and the guy was killed by the ice salesman for stealing ice. How lame is that, getting iced over frozen water?

Hodgins - Bugman was the MAN - he had jumping maggots, trace evidence, and even popped out the term "babymoon" - far superior to the tres gauche "Push Present". Loved Hodgins exchange with Fisher too - just awkward enough to make it funny.

BTW, he used that term last week. Just sayin'.

Cam - Cam's job as head of the department seems to involve a fair amount of mother henning. Not just Fisher and Angela, but also Brennan. I mean, we all know Angela was there at Booth's to scope out Brennan's competition, but why would Cam intrude? Personally I think it was to watch over Brennan. There's a bond there that could grow to rival the one she has with Angela in it's intensity.

Interesting thought. Given how she tried to soothe Brennan's hurt last week, too, there might be something to this.

Brennan telling Hannah to be sure about her decision to move in with Booth. You can almost here her warning off Hannah because she finally knows how much her rejection of Booth hurt him. She knows because she's finally accepted that she loves him and she could have had him if only she hadn't balked and ran like a coward. Oops, that slipped.

Uh-huh. Sure it did!
