treble21 wrote:how awkward is that diner scene with Sweets? answer= a whole lotta awkward.

But YAY! Brennan admitted she thought about her and Booth together

Hahah It was a little awkward but we got something awesome out of that awkwardness

Brennan's freak out on Clark.... wow.

Sure Brennan you were helping Clark be a better scientist.... sure you were.

@Crazy and Treble Thanks for telling me about the sex scene. I just really don't watching B&B with other people. Hannah doesn't really bother me...but I could do without all the Booth/Hannah sex/lovey dovey crap. I can't even watch the Sully episodes or the Cam/Rebecca episode

I don't know I'm with Crazy4bones on this one, I think you should watch the scene, you are missing some really heavy handed hints on what will likely end up breaking up B/H plus the added bonus of half naked DB. but ultimately it's your choice.

believe me seeing Hannah and him in bed isn't like number 1 on my list either but you get great clues and Booth looks really hot half naked!!!

I felt more icky after the Fig Tree thing at the Founding Fathers then I did after the bed scene...

Please lord never let me see Hannah "dish about Seeley" with Brennan...despite how likeable she is ( and honestly there's really nothing to hate about her except that she's dating Booth)

UGH...so there is a sex scene? What part of the episode is it in? Are they just lying in bed or is there kissing an everything else invloved? I really want to watch this episode...and I'm not bothered my Hannah. Just as long as she's here to just crack Brennan's shell and move B&B's relationship along, that I'm okay. It's just really unsettling for me to watch sex scenes with B&B and other people (because I'm a hardcore B&B shipper )

good grief..it's not that bad. It's network tv at 8 pm. It's about as mild as the Rebecca/Cam scenes from S2 with more kissing and more talk. But you really don't want to skip the scene because like I said...it could end up being a big piece of the Booth/Hannah puzzle...it's about 3/4 of the way through...

On a side note...I've removed all Fig trees from my Farmville farm...LOL!

I think even the HOW they met might be a big piece of the Booth/Hannah puzzle...

It's not bad if you're not a hardcore B&B shipper who doesn't hate Brennan. Others might have a problem watching it. The showrunners seem aware of this, which is probably why that scene was moved to 3/4 the way through. That way, if people or and turned the channel, it wouldn't effect the ratings.

seriously Joy, I'm a huge B/B shipper and Brennan fan. The bed scene was the least disturbing of the B/H kissy face scenes. I swear. Hannah talked about being jealous of Brennan, and Booth went to " you think there's something going on between me and bones?" and she was like "noooo... unless there's something I should know" and then said that she was jealous because of the "action" involved in catching criminals.
Fig tree scene was waaay more uncomfortable. way.

final verdict: The episode was better than expected. Had some really good "surprise" moments ( for us spoiled individuals anyway...everything's new to the unspoiled)

Wait, what the hell is the fig tree scene about?...and does Booth say, "Aren't you going to cause trouble while you're here?" in the bed scene? Maybe he's already expecting her to leave? IDK I just hope that Booth comes to some realizations that he can't move on/Brennan is the one/whatever...and no, that doesn't mean that I think he's going to (or should) dump Hannah to chase Brennan. I just don't want Hannah to leave him all sad and broken hearted...because then it will seem like Brennan is the "rebound" girl.

The fig tree scene is Booth/Brennan/Hannah at the founding fathers, where Hannah tells Brennan how they met ( which resulted in Booth eventually saving her life ) and Hannah mentions how she thanked Booth ... under a fig tree, Essentially she implies that they had sex under a fig tree , it's just a really uncomfortable scene for shippers.

and Yes Booth says to Hannah ( not in bed, at the end of the scene where he's mostly dressed ) that she's gonna cause trouble while she's there, and she says isn't that one of the things you love about me? He answers yes.

I'd like to point out something here though, I find it interesting how he ( a guy who is so overprotective) picks a girl that has absolutely no fear about anything harming her . I really see some similarities to Brennan in that respect.

They have sex under a fig tree?...that just makes me feel so icky inside.

Had sex.. Had sex. we don't see it.

Neither scene sounds pleasant. However, yes, the fig scene sounds more emotionally disturbing for Brennan to have to hear. I'll give that a

You do realize that now that I'm free to be evil, I've got be REALLY evil.

Special shout out and huge thanks to Canadianbones for starting the threads!

The fig tree thing just makes me Even though we don't see it, just the thought of it makes me want to I don't think I can even watch any of the "Hannah" episodes...because I'll be thinking of fig trees...Oh and, THANK YOU Treble for telling me...because if I starting watching this episode and the fig tree convo came on, I think I would of actually

meh like I said It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, there is some really good moments in this episode, but I can understand why the idea of certain scenes makes you want to

Are there really some good moments? I kinda want to see Clark go off about B&B having sex. ..but I probably can't even watch Bones re-runs for a couple days...because when Booth comes on, I'll be thinking about his sudden love for fig trees.

...and at least from what I heard, Booth/Hannah sounds more like just a fling, "in the moment" type thing, than a "once in a lifetime" type of thing...but I should watch the episode before I make that judgement.

I'm hoping Raghag turns out to be a spy for the other side and the sex under the fig tree was a distraction so that some serious damage by the other side could get done. THAT, would make the scene have some relevance down the line.

I hope so too, Joy. I can't even stomach watching Bones re-runs right now...because when Booth comes on-screen, I'll be thinking of fig trees I haven't even seen the episode...but just reading Treble's summary makes me want (I have been using that smiley way too much tonight) I really hate fig trees...but at least it seems like from what all the posts that I've read, that Booth/Hannah will be more a fling, than a "once in a lifetime" type of the thing...and I'm okay with Booth having a "play toy," while Brennan figures out her feelings.

One more question: Is Booth really comfortable with discussing his sex life with Brennan?...or did Hannah bring up that fig tree thing?

jro54 wrote:One more question: Is Booth really comfortable with discussing his sex life with Brennan?...or did Hannah bring up that fig tree thing?

One wouldn't think so but Brennan is good at disassociating herself and it was Brennan that bought it up.


I didn't mind the episode or Hannah. Sure i think Brennan and Booth belong together and it is mildly irritating that one of them is seeing someone else but Hannah seemed nice, and Booth likes her. I won't have any issues riding out the Hannah storyline.

On another note... i was really hoping it'd be the girlfriend that did it. Also, Hodgins was hilarious talking to Hannah.

I notice that they cut the scenes with Brennan's use of the colloquialisms. There was no mention of "I'm down with that", "cool", and the "fox" comment that was on one of the sides.
