Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big fan of Hart Hanson. I think he’s done a brilliant job of creating a set of characters that live and interact in what is probably my least favorite type of television show, a procedural. The team at the Jeffersonian, despite all of the sabbaticals taken in this episode, has become a family, with Seeley Booth and Temperance Brennan at its head. Where Bones has lost me this season is the continued emphasis on the Brennan/Booth relationship, with no discernible change in what that relationship actually is. Why not allow fan favorite relationships to actually become more than hints, teases, innuendo, and stolen glances?
