Breaking my Heart
Bones and Fringe: Breaking my heart in the best ways possible.
You know those times when you see something you just want to tell the people around you that you love them? Well oddly enough the massive depressive character plots on television tonight struck me in just that way.
Bones
I don't really know how I feel about this show anymore. On one hand, Brennan finally realized her mistake, and I don't think it could have played out any other way than for Booth to reject her: he's moved on. But seriously, I still do not agree with the writer's move to have Booth make the gamble in the first place. Andrew keeps telling me that he thinks it's all part of Booth's master plan, but I have told him since the season finale that he's full of it... we're past wishful thinking.
So while I'm curious to know how it plays out, I think they've suspended logic enough that there is no believable way for them to handle Booth and Brennan anymore. And honestly at this point in the series I'm not even sure they should be together. There's something beautifully tragic about Brennan being alone. The episode was really great, except for the end. I'm confused about that. Three days and the universe rights itself? I mean, I get how it relates to the story about the glasses, but I don't know what that means for Brennan. Is the universe now her accepting that she loves Booth and moving on and accepting that knowledge, or is the universe righting itself mean she's back to her denial, tucking away her emotions into a box where she will occasionally take them out?
I still hate Hannah, and I hate how she around in the most annoying ways. I mean, seriously, she's hanging around the FBI building and they're discussing cases with her? She's a reporter!!!
Fringe
Oh Fringe, oh I love you so, even with your new space in the death slot on Friday nights. But I will follow you to Fridays, because I am now old and boring and don't like going to the bars on Friday nights.
Olivia broke my heart, but once Peter started sleeping with Bolivia, there was no other way this could play out. This was predestined, and yes, it was so hard to watch and so painful, but it was so masterfully done. I loved the metaphor the case provided for Olivia and her picking up the pieces of her life.
Creepy part though with the dancing corpse... I seriously got a freaky Phantom of the Opera vibe from the guy working the machine with a hundred levers. And I'm not talking ALW Phantom, I'm talking the actually freaky horror parts of the book.
I just hope the writers don't have Peter start thinking that maybe he's in love with Bolivia instead, because that would be so incredibly annoying and awful and just too... dumb.
They were both just so spectacularly heartbreaking, but man alive, what a depressing way to go out for the holidays!
