Bones thoughts...

I'm having a hard time liking Angela right now. She has no idea the damage she leaves in her "follow my heart, live in the moment" philosophy. She doesn't understand that when most people give their hearts they just can't walk away and say "Hey, it was fun!". Even at the end, she doesn't really understand it.

Sweets is often my hero -- no other character on the show is both made equally of win and fail. I love how absolutely no one takes him seriously yet he's so often right. I just loved when he was told that he didn't have any mojo. Although my favorite line was when Booth said he'd buy him a beer with a rye chaser and Sweets goes "That sounds like it would make me sick." LOVE HIM. I find myself often wondering exactly what he is thinking. He's so very secure in who he is, and yet you know it bothers him that no one else sees him the way he sees himself.

I still think that Bones has the very best "single line characters" of any show out there. No other show has as many memorable and interesting characters that only appear for 30 seconds or so. I adore the fact that everyone on the show (writers, directors, actors) is confident enough to let bit players have some of the best lines -- often at the expense of the main characters.

What I love best though is that between Booth and Bones, the show manages to strike the completely right moral/ethical line. I love how, although Booth and Bones seem to be so very different, they are, at the core, very much alike.

And, oddly enough, I don't have a Bones icon. Probably because I can't decide who I would want on it.

I have two Bones icons, and this one is probably my favorite. I really do love Sweets, more than I actually thought I would.
