On the show, they've touched on the darker stuff (in Soldier on the Grave, for example), but I think it could be pushed further. David Boreanaz has been quoted as saying he doesn't want to go into Booth's painful experience being a sniper. Maybe he's tired of darkness after being Angel. :) Regardless, given that he's a producer now, perhaps his influence will keep them from going down that road.
But let's forget what DB wants for a second, and think about Seeley Booth, the character. My opinion is that Booth and Brennan are complicated, conflicted people doing tough jobs that exact a very high price. They laugh and they banter, but that doesn't change the fact that they deal with atrocity on a nearly daily basis. If anything, I think the laughter is often a defense mechanism.
Anyway, I'm glad you're curious and want to read more. :) Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with me.
