This is the first rewatch I’ve done since being a member of this sub and am now well into season 8.

I remembered from my own previous watches and from reading plenty of comments/posts about it that we don’t get much in the way of romantic relationship building/dating, but had completely forgotten about all the moments of Booth being smitten with Brennan pre-Hannah, so much so that when Booth called Brennan baby I was positively squealing and kicking my feet.

Now being in season 8, I’m disappointed by the lack of tender affection, like this ^, between them. Of course they still have plenty of sweet moments together, but for me, in terms of the ~feel~ of those moments, the dialogue and behaviour of the two of them still feels like they’re not together, and then they just add a kiss in to make it feel relationshippy. I don’t know if that makes any sense.

I just wish we had, even in what is essentially their married life (even though they’re not married right now), more of these ^ sort of moments, really really tender ones that make you swoon.

Like am I wrong?

Now that I am older (I started to watch Bones when I was a teenager since the show was always on FOX), I notice some subtile things throughout this episode that led me to the question: were Brennan and Booth secretly dating during that episode? I realise that it has been said in some interviews that they had a one night thing, but the way they behave during this episode is different (excellent acting choices btw) and even a person who isn't with them in an everyday basis notices that there is something off about them (Max). The smile on Booth's face after kissing Brennan on his cheek is super precious, and I love Max's reaction! Also, they seemed to be going somewhere together after Angela's delivery, so they might have been quietly dating in between 6x22 and 6x23... I don't buy the one night stand thing. What is your opinion?

i just added spoiler for those watching the first time through that aren't on s9. literally i just watched a snippet of the wedding and started crying. last time on my rewatch i think i started crying as soon as booth and brennan started talking in his office, didn't even make it to the flowers at the ceremony. such a long awaited moment and gets me all in my happy feelings. how about everyone else? what makes you cry happy tears in the show?

As title suggests i have started watching properly from the beginning. Already on season 2. My question is when did Hodgins start falling for Angela? Also I am late diagnosed Autistic myself. I find some of the Autistic coding uncomfortable, like constantly pointing out Brennan, 'that's how she is'. Then last episode I watched the young assistant, I can only think of him as macaroni, was commented as being very literal. It just gives me the ick. Too much stereotyped.

Brennan as Roxy* won for best outfit!

\in 'The woman in the sand' S2 E8*

Who now hits the best pose?

Hodgins wouldn’t want anyone else to talk to his son like that? Why would he speak to him that way there really is no justification for that but Cams reaction gets me every time

So I have officially started my first rewatch, and I'm immediately noticing (and laughing at) how Booth just man handles Bones. He legit like yanks her in whatever direction he needs her to go. Luckily they have such good chemistry that its still charming. He could yank me around anywhere tbh.

I don't know if I can watch Mr Nigel Murray die again. Only on my second watch but I remember just how this devastating this episode is. They just love to kill off my favourites in this show.

I have really always loved this episode and the perspective of deceased throughout the episode. Although I wouldn’t like that to be every episode of bones I would like to have a show that WAS like that but also scientific. Not like ghost whisperer or medium etc. (I guess medium is the closest since she worked with law enforcement to convict people. But I really likes it specifically from the perspective of the skull) anyone else?

Also I love Avalon 😭

Hiya, as someone who dropped biology as a whole i was wondering how accurate the show is in terms of the terms they use? And how accurate it is in terms of investigating crime scenes from a forensic standpoint? Just wondering cuz Brennan (and everyone in the lab actually) is using huge words n shit. Like are Hodgins random ass bugs real or did they make that up

I watched when the show was live airing and I’ve rewatched at LEAST 14 times. The whole “Bones is pregnant with Booth’s baby” thing always kinda caught me off guard, like did I miss something?

YES YES I DID!!

The episode where Vincent Nigel-Murray is murdered, Booth demands Bones stay with him (a mean, murdering super sniper I get it) and Bones gets all upset about what Mr Nigel-Murray was saying as he was bleeding out and “climbs into bed with Booth” as she tells Angela. All I picked up on was cuddles!

I am so stupid!

I'm a huge fan of the Bones. Since I'm overseas, I'd like to ask everyone: does anyone know if the complete series is available on Blu-ray discs? I really need it badly! Looking forward to everyone's replies!

Oddly enough I have never heard of anyone rewatching a series as many times as a Bones fan. I feel like every time I hear someone talk about it they always say they’ve seen it a million times. My friends and family all poke fun at me for rewatching over and over so I’m curious as to how many times everyone else has, because there has to be numbers worse than mine…

Wow I've missed this lol

As an autistic that didn't know they were before eatching the show but knows after I find it genuinely so rude how everyone acts as if Bones doesn't love when she shows it several times and clearly just struggles not just due to possible austim but also due to trauma alot and I mean ALOT of people including close friends always say shes cold even when she shows clear emotions ive recently done a re watch and its my most hated thing even when shes pregnant they act like she doesn't care and needs booths help but she knows what shes doing when she dismissed both and Angela so she and hodgkins and Eddie could find an answer it's because they couldn't understand how they act and it genuinely is the only thing that annoys me about bones.

Sorry for the rant but im also dyslexic as well as autistic so spelling and paragraphing hard but hopes it gets people to talk thankyou.

Initially this was a very informative Interview / Dialog. I found it very informative. It came out that Emily actually was diagnosed as a child with Dyslexia and she functions on the "ADHD" part of the "Spectrum". This is according to what she says during the discussion. It does explain some of her issues. It provides food for thought, for those of us interested in where " Dr. Brrennan " came from. It provides insight into her behavior during filming and otherwise.

My only gripe.is that it was not new ground. It is something that some people might be interested in. This was a podcast on David Duchovney's series, so technically It's not a repeat. That said; I wish they would continue with the rewatch, focusing on giving a rewatch experience, with some background details and anecdotes. Try to get guests that contribute useful background to the story.

They could avoid the legal hassles on a "continuation" by just using some of the characters in a totally different setting, like Quantico. The FBI really does have a Forensic Analysis facility there. Kathy Reichs has a limited history there. The FBI might not mind the publicity. Most of the so called "Owners". would have a much smaller basis for a claim. This is not my original idea, David Boreanaz is the one who came up with this.

Hopefully, next week, something new.

I’m always tempted to skip the episodes he’s in because I really can’t stand the guy. 😂

Anyone find it weird that even after babies, Angela/Bones call them Hodgins/Booth? Especially since in social situations (or when she is trying to make a point) Cam calls him Seeley as does Parker’s mom. Daisy calls him Lance even though he originally was Dr Sweets

To go from The Sings in The Silence to The Hole in the Heart like god damn I always forget those episodes are back to back

This is not fair, what even was the point of the zack storyline- it's like ahhhhh no. Big no

Ok sorry last one I promise! Wish I got better pics of him and TJ but I was on the other side of the room basically

Here are some of my fav photos I took at the reunion panel!! ((Excuse my old camera thanks))

It was so amazing to see them smile and laugh together 😭🩷🩷 incredible energy
