Does Seeley Booth deserve Temperance Brennan?

I voted yes because he has proven himself worthy of her love, respect and trust.

6 days been a member, dont know if you know this you can read this site without been a member

Welcome! Yes. Reading only but member to post. Great place to chat about BONES. If you go to IHBFC that is a great place to just generally chat about anything and everything. Usually slow in off BONES season but when show starts up again it should pick up.

Very true and i know we are just watching how it all happens maybe just maybe he has dragged it on just a little bit, and by doing this reset ..... i dont know it doesnt seem it was needed

The reset wasn't needed, unless HH is simply terrified he can't write them being together. If he thinks he can'twrite them being together and still having UST and conflict...he needs to watch the closer and Burn Notice.

Ok, I am NOT getting into this "Booth vs Brennan" discussion. They are both flawed characters and just like human beings, the makes mistakes. Brennan isn't perfect, BUT Booth isn't perfect either. We can’t have one without the other. This whole show is about their journey TOGETHER. I know I said this yesterday, but I got a little carried away…BUT NOT this time.

I’ll say this: I LOVE the Booth's character and he has been a good friend/partner, but he has never professed his love to her. Somehow "let's give it a shot" just doesn't seem like a confession of love to me.

@joy. I so agree with you. I think that everytime I watch those 2 shows. I know they don't do as many episodes a season, but a lot of times they are on 2 times a year, so no one could use that as an excuse. Both shows use the characters backgrounds / pasts to help create that UST.
I think the problem with our show is - and just IMO - is that Brennan's character is so different than any other character on TV, her literal rational brain gets in her way every time. I guess HH feels he wants to do her character justice and make their relationship happen correctly and timely - OOPS...............that hasn't happened. They had opportunity after Booth's coma, her shell was cracking. But then they decided to stall.
Oh my goodness don't get me started I'll be ranting till the cows come home about 100th and beyond and the failure that became.
I have the sneaking suspicion that of their 9 - 10 million viewers, he (or FOX)thinks that us folks are in the minority. You know the folks that are peeved about the unnatural character progression and bad story writing of the cases that the show has taken lately. Maybe he's correct and we are the minority. I have several friends that watch the show and could care less whether they get the leads together. I guess we'll see what happens when the ratings come out in September / October.

Heh, that's why I couldn't believe I was even participating in the "debate" LOL , it was a clear case of baiting.

About Booth being too good for Brennan and DB telling only truth... oh my.
That reminds me of some other Bones' boards in internet where teen girls are screaming to each other: I love DB soooo much! No, I love him more! Not possible, I love him the most! These girls (no pun intended) usually make no distinction between DB and the character he's playing. He's saint for them and they will skin alive everyone who thinks otherwise. Well... to each his own idol.
I personally am absolutely not interested in Booth without Brennan, not a little bit.

I don't care what you think about me.
I personally am absolutely not interested in Brennan with or without Booth.
She is the most annoying character.

At times I agree with you.
"Con Man in the Meth Lab" when she thought he was a loser because Jared implied it [Only admins are allowed to see this image] was one example, the other when she said to Hacker, "Now Booth can have sex with Catherine".

Exactly. So weird!

Yeah, all we can do is wait and see. It's kind of sad to be hoping for poor ratings so that a show will aimprove, but generally a person won't rethink or change direction unless the status quo is too painful. The one thing I will say in HH's defense is that he's working from a model of tv writing that's been around for a long time. When cable came in, they had to find ways to be different from network tv. At first it was just throw a lot of sex and cursing on the screen. Then the Sopranos came along and while it had the sex and violence, it had REALLY good character development and didn't back down from letting the characters create the stories. They weren't afraid to let things evolve and change. It's success, IMO, really changed how cable startex to see series television, because an entire crop of well written, character-driven shows started popping up everywhere. Look at a couple of the cable stations slogans. TNT is "We Know Drama." USA is "Characters Welcome." They definitely caught on that audiences appreciate not being treated like idiots. Network tv hasn't yet. IE - Bones and the Closer started in the same year. I really thought Bones was going to be a breakthrough for network TV. I got alittle concerned at the end of season four because the brain tumor and amnesia were so soap-opera like. Then HH said he hadn't meant to imply amnesia and he should have made it clearer that Booth was confused over the role Brennan played in his life. So, I let it go. The fifth season seemed to be doing a really good job in resolving a lot of Brennan's fears and viewpoints about Booth and love. Then the hundredth happened and it was just a WTF moment. That's when I realized Bones was NOT going to be a breakthrough.

this took a while to read. I think they both deserve each other what would be the point in being a shipper if i didnt

although talking about not liking characters. Sometimes... not all the time,sometimes. i dont like booth very much! although i have a theory that its because he was never to nice to zack and hes my favourite. plus the episode about gangs got my angry at booth for being so mean, then he does more than redeem himself later on when he saving bones ass.

where brennans conserned i know what she does can be mean but in my full devotion for that character i just dont care. the 100th episode flop was down imo to sweets for giving bad advice. maybe i am just being sexist because im pretty sure is booth was a girl and bones was a boy i would like booth more, actaully im certain im just sexist. Gotta love oestrogen !!

Brennan DOESN'T DESERVE Booth. Pure and simple. Have we all forgotten in the Jared episode, when not only did she initially believe that Booth was a loser, but I can also recall in the same episode when Angela said that Jared was Booth lite and she responded what if BOOTH is BOOTH lite. Her saying this about a guy who is ALWAYS there for her. That is why some people(including myself) hate Brennan's character.

She also apologized - and apologized to him in front of all his friends in that same episode. She came to love him even more, and stopped looking for excuses for Booth to not be front and center in her heart. Also, that incident is one building block in her character development. Now, if you want to compartmentalize and decide who she is based on one scene in one episode over a five (six, if you count from the first case) year period you are absolutely entitled. We all have our own opinions and ways of looking at things. I like to look at how episodes build on each other. From that perception I can only conclude that these are two people who bring out the best in each other, or, as ED & DB have saId, are better together than apart. Of course that's only my - and the actors - opinion.

I agree (though I said I wasn't going to particpate in this discussion)

]I think this whole thread is a testament to the fact that people on here are really in need of new episodes. lol

Who are any of us to judge and decide Who "deserves" anything?

What have any of you done in your life, that you might have done differently if you'd known the future.

What someone did yesterday, cannot be used to inpunge them today, when yesterday their feelings were not what they are today.

The whole thing is kind of silly and presumptuous..and tto say someone is wrong for not being faithful to someone they aren't in a relationship with..is downright wrong.

One they are together, then we can talk about faithfullness. Until both of them commit to the relationship as a monogomous relationship..anything they do now as far as the opposite sex is the normal way that all normal people search for love in their lives. To hang on to an ideal or dream, when it's not happening...is what's call being Obsessive Compulsive, or a Stalker.

They both deserve whatever it is that they both want and come to realize. They have proved time and time again that they will each lay down their lives for eachother. That whether in a sexual relationship or not, each of them considers the other their most signifcant other in their life. What more does a person have to do? If they each date others on that road to discovery...we may not like it...I don't like the SO storyline, but it's what actually happens in life. To do anything else after you've been told NO would be mentally unhealthy.

We really need to move forward...this is getting a bit redundant! [Only admins are allowed to see this image]
