Really Why should Brennan do anything for him when he is treating her like something he has just stepped on? And yes i know the Booth lovers are going to have a fun day at that one. All i can say is have fun and try not to get too over excited. I wouldnt want you all to have a stroke and not be able to watch lover boy in the newly named Hannah and Booth show, once known as Bones.

Please do not attack other fans for their opinions, it is fine that you have your own, but it is not ok to belittle others for theirs. . The post comes off as antagonistic like you are trying to start a Booth vs. Brennan war, which will be kinda hard to do as most of the posters here are fans of BOTH Booth and Brennan.

While i agree with what you are saying it seem that people that attack people regarding Brennan seem to go unnoticed it is only people that seem to have go at Booth that get noticed, we have had plan of this in this thread and this was not seen

There's a difference between disagreement, dicussion, debate, and a personal attack. Goodness knows I disagree, discuss, dissect and debate pretty heavily on this board. A personal attack. doesn't deal with what a person says, it comments on their character and, as treble21 said, belittles them. No one is required to agree on what they like or don't on this board, but the respect of fellow fans is, in fact, a rule of the Aby. Dividing people into Booth and Brennan lovers and talking about either of them being liked only for their physical physical merits is personal and inappropriate. Incidently, I AM someone who is usually defending Brennan. Some of my best friends on this board completely disagree with me, but we respect each other. Different opinions does not make a person "the enemy."

If you feel passionate about your point of view then stick to the topic and explain and defend why you like or dislike what is happening on the show that pertains to the thread topic.

For instance - in the eighth episode, I hope Booth is concerned enough to seek out why Brennan is upset because his not noticing the changes in her by ep. eight would be completely annoying.

Well said Joy thank you i just get very defensive of Brennan sometimes and i guess it was making a personal attack at all the Booth lovers but not just one of them, those that cant see both sides of the story and just thing he is god

I think the conjecture about Brennan undergoing some sort of hallucination is a good one. I think the idea is to push her well past her complacency possibly to the brink of her sanity or objectivity into the land of emotional insights, but how it is done without turning it into another hallucination like Booth's Parker is going to be interesting.

Since it's going to be a look inside her mind, I wonder if some of the people she encounters will be representative of those compartments she has established over time? I thought that after reading the sides that the security guard might actually be one aspect of her mind, but without the entire script (better, the entire episode) it's hard to say. Of course, that would take it into the territory of hallucination, but how else would one explain that she sees herself in the photo of the victim unless it's all meant to be metaphorical? Or does she see so many similarities that she can't help but see herself mirrored in the victim?

Certainly I find it interesting that one of the stage directions suggests that she sees Booth as her white knight. Given how things are playing out, Booth, who took several episodes before he seemed to have forgiven Brennan for rejecting him (The Witch in the Wardrobe) and had thawed a bit toward her, now seems hellbent on pushing on, divorcing himself personally from Brennan. If, even after all his cool reserve, she still thinks of him as her white knight, it will say a great deal about how much she reveres him and might be willing to move closer to him despite what might appear to be a betrayal of his "love."

I also wonder if she sees any of the other characters as icons in her life? I'm curious as to whether she sees Angela as more than just friend and sister? Or Hodgins as more than just one of the lab rats she works with or Cam as more than just her boss/associate/rival?

Brennan is such a wonderfully complex character who is so far removed from the spheres of experiences and expectations as the other characters. She is going to be battered and bruised a bit as she comes to her epiphany, but keep in mind that Booth also needs to see his own light. Irregardless of what has happened in the past, both of them need to understand their feelings and be sure of the other's response before either will move past pride or stubbornness. In many ways, that is a tall order.

And then there's Hannah. She might be the disposable girlfriend, but she still needs to be disposed of in some nonlethal way. (Although the squint squad knows more about death and destruction than most and Hodgins, having gone through something similar last season, might be amenable in helping Brennan hide the body. Or not. Ahh well.)

I'm telling you, the journalist is the serial killer and the doctor is her first kill. NOT Kidding.

It's called faith, Baby. Just faith.

LoL! What do win if it manifests? Besides, it's better than pushing her off a cliff, that wouldn't fit at all. Clingy, super-perfect, career-driven woman who expresses scorn that while the victim was top of her field she had no life? There is definitely some Fatal Attraction serial killer potential there! The whole woman scorned theme. Yeah, it's an idea that keeps me sane (sort of) but it also would work and make sense. Say it with me now - Booth's new girl is a serial killer, nah, nah, nah-nah, na! (obviously!)

Which would be highly ironic-- Booth, too, is as crappy at picking out woman as is Brennan at picking out men. (And if you think about it objectively, it's fairly true even if that scenario doesn't pan out.)

Brennan: People would not have noticed another body among the many dead in Afghanistan or Iraq. She learned her skills care of the Army, the Army Rangers to be precise. Befriend a soldier and entice him into her bed so that she could learn the skills of the most highly trained snipers. . . .

Booth: (looking sick) I know, I know, Bones. (He turns to her, his emotions raw) I should have believed you.

Brennan: (her own emotions raw given the revelations that day, but they only glimmer for a moment before she masks them) It's understandable that you would question my veracity. . . .

Booth: You don't lie. Not when you know the truth of the thing.

Brennan: I didn't know my feelings, Booth. . . .

Booth: I know. People hide those things that they fear. You feared how leaving your heart open might leave you open to a great deal of pain. I understand that.

Brennan: You know, this means that she's still going to be in our lives until we catch her.

Booth: (he only nods grimly)

Brennan: And you know, this whole incident supports my theory that while the evidence suggests I am incredibly bad at picking out men, you excluded, and Sully, if we're being entirely fair and objective. . . .

Booth: Let's not go there, Bones.

Brennan: I never actually slept with a murderer or serial killer.

Booth: Why'd you have to go there, Bones?

Brennan: (like a dog with a juicy bone, she's not letting this go) So objectively speaking, I would have to say that my taste in men has improved over time while your taste in women, except for me, of course, has grown questionable.

Booth: You went there.

Brennan: Objectively speaking, Booth.

Booth: (he sighs) I knew I hated figs.

Why? Is Booth jogging in his underwear

Okay, that is just so wrong and off topic ...PLEASE, GOD, LET IT BE SO!!! [Only admins are allowed to see this link]

ha ha Not be an I told you so....kind of person...but isn't this my original theory from this summer?

ha ha

Remember when I said that Raghag was going to be the new Big Bad or at least the Big Bad's accomplice? Not that I still believe it, but hey...let's give credit where credit is due!!! lol...... I still think it would make her much more believeable and the whole plot so much easier to swallow!

While it would be satisfying for Hannah to be the sniper, I don't think she has those skills. I can see her contracting a sniper to kill Brennan. But even that...I don't think she has a long term plan with Booth so I don't see her as having a strong motive. Maybe a sniper Booth trained who was jealous of his relationship with Hannah. He wouldn't want to hurt Hannah, but from watching Booth would quickly figure out that Bones means a lot to him and killing her would destroy him. Just a theory.

Either way, Booth's need to protect Bones would cause a rift with Hannah and bring him closer to Bones.

Ya I'm not really on board with my own previous theory.... Doesn't seem to fit anymore given what's happened so far.

i'm not either. hannah being the serial killer is way too contrived. I think hannah/booth's demise comes from good old fashioned "the girl is in love with a guy......who loves her back....but, is IN love with another girl....."

Hannah being the serial killer would only add too much drama and angst for booth. We don't need emo booth blaming himself for putting the others in danger (because you know the first person she'd go after would be bren)

I don't see Hannah being a serial killer. I am hoping that her and Booth's relationship fizzles out and she gets bored and moves on (after Booth realises he doesn't want to be with her).

I'm hoping for a mature, adult "parting of the ways" as well. And for Hannah to be gone before the sniper storyline starts. Still can't shake that niggling feeling she is the victim at the back of my head... I really don't think it can be, but will only feel 100% secure in that after her exit. :-) Also, anyone kept track from shows and sides, etc. how many episodes Hannah has actually physically appeared/will appear in yet? I know the 5-6 episode thing isn't confirmed, but I'm just checkin what # we're on now.. LOL

The new fun theory about the eight ep is that the entire opening of season six is a "coma dream" that Brennan will wake up from in eight. The sniper thing was last week.

No, no! Please let it be Brennan jogging in her underwear, OK, maybe short shorts and a sports bra [ ]...

Talk about soap opera territory... although strangely it would almost make sense, explain the staraneg behavior of some characters...

"staraneg"—oops, I thought I fixed that, should be "strange" obviously

That would make the "I can't believe Hart went there" plausible as the Brennan having a coma/dream of her own generally raises so much hostility.

Somewhere I read: "when we emerge from a dream, we look at the world with new eyes." That's what is going to happen to Brennan.
