Random musings on Santa in the Slush

[only_more_love]

I wish I didn't have a million other things to take care of right now, because what I really want to do is digest last night's episode of Bones and write about it.  But I'll be back.

A few random, disjointed thoughts:

To go meta for a second, I think the theme of this epi was truth and lies.  More on this later.

I love this show.  Sure, it's clichéd and predictable at times.  But it's got real, honest to goodness heart; that's why I watch and why I'll keep watching.

I adore Booth and Brennan.  Not because of the ridiculous sexual tension.  Go watch the final scene of last night's epi.  That, right there, is why a fictional non-couple has eaten my brain. 

The gift exchange scene was heartwarming.  Truly.  I just wish we'd gotten some dialogue.  What a riot that Hodgins was given a framed picture of a bug.

I will adore that character forever based on his face as he stood there with his son and that damnded tree.

It made me want to go out and get a Christmas tree.

And I haven't had a Christmas tree in this house ever.

*shakes fist*

Damn you, Booth. Damn you.


(In truth, it makes me want to go out and get a Booth, but I'm not quite sure where to purchase one.)
