Hannah episodes

You know the worst thing is not that they won't ever get together but by the time they do it will be a meh moment. All the juice is being sucked from the relationship and from the chemistry. They've loaded the whole Hannah plot so heavily with love and commitment that getting Booth back to where Brennan is the one is going to be like rolling a boulder up a hill. And that's yet another wearisome exercise that I'm not sure I want to watch.

Gone is the joy and the anticipation that Thursday used to bring. But yes, I do agree, that if Brennan doesn't get a clue pretty soon, a clue that someone other than the writers can actually see, the situation is going to become even more dire than it is now.

Same here, Elyon. As much as Brennan needs to wake up-and if she does, she won't dare come between Booth/Hannah, but Booth also has to realize that he's keeping Brennan at a distance and compartmentalize...so people have been speculating that perhaps Brennan gets seriously injured or presumed dead and it will give Booth a kick to break up with Hannah. Emily keeps hinting that Brennan might be the victim, but she won't really die...because no Bones, no Bones. I'm sure that B&B will get together in the end, but I just don't see how they can possibly put B&B together in a realistic and imaginative way.

Love the way you put that!!

But in the end, you're not gonna stop watching, right?

*crickets chirp*

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Don't take that as a snark at anyone but the writers themselves, please.

For the record, I thoroughly enjoyed the premiere.

I'm not planning to stop warching myself. However, as happened with my watching House MD last season, if it keeps going in the same direction—here's hoping it won't—, then I will no longer be adamant to watch it live. I might DVR it and watch it later. Again, this would have to do with my lack of enjoyment if it continues the way it is now. I'd want to know what happens to the characters still, I have too much invested in them by now. However, if I possibly could feel that way, then that would potentially not be good news for the general viewership's interest either. Just saying, my personal opinion obviously just like you have yours.

Just an errant thought, let me know if I'm totally off base:

Cam was supposed (from what I read/heard in an HH interview after S2 aired) to be written out in season 2 after 6ish episodes . She was supposed to die at Howard Epps' hand (i.e. not recover from poison) but she ended up getting good reviews, so they kept her, broke her up with Booth and now everyone loves her.

I take from this three things.

One, Cam has reached her expiry date; she will die (I really hope not).

Two, they want, eventually, one of Booth's SO's to die; Hannah's expiry date (I couldn't care less actually and it seems she'll be around the same time as cam was )

Three, Hannah may get better reviews once seperated from Booth romantically...I mean we have lots of single fellas that could use some loving too you know (I for one wouldn't mind seeing Sweets with a hot blonde to throw in Daisey's face)...so maybe we could give her a chance if she got her dirty little paws of Brennans boy???

Random Speculation concluded.

That's the dilemma for HH and co isn't it? How do you squeeze as much longevity out of this show and maintian sufficiently high ratings by keeping the fans hanging on waiting for B&B to hook up (after you keep on saying that it will eventually happen it's all planned..). I really hate the SO storyline because it's an obviously needless roadblock that was suddenly put in there to slow the whole thing down for yet another season. And I agree that if they build this Hannah and Booth relationship up to heights of undreamed of perfection over the next 5 or 6 episodes, destroying it in a way that is logical and that you can do relatively quickly (if she is only in for 5 or 6 episodes) is very difficult.

You then have to build up the sorely neglected B&B relationship again too and ensure that it's clear that Booth instigated the split because of Bones. As I mentioned previously, the only way I can see such a sudden sea change (unless Hannah is staying the full episode run) is for either Bones or Booth to have some kind of accident or be in danger at some point which flushes out everyone's true feelings.

And Brennan has to eventually show that she has visably had a change of heart with Booth, it's something that has to be CLEAR to everyone. Given HH comments on what he thinks we should have seen between Booth and Bones in episode 1 which I just didn't see (and I don't think I'm the only one there by fan reaction) I have to say I'm concerned he can't actually pull this whole silly SO arc off.

I don't think the number episodes has as much bearing as the actual episodes themselves. Placement is the key. For example, how many episodes was Parker in last year, Caroline, Michelle, Jared, yet they are reoccurring characters.
If she were slated for the first 5 episodes, that would say one thing, if she is scheduled for episode 2, 10, 12, 13, 19, and the finale for example, that would tell a completely different story. Time to wait and see. There's no point dwelling--it is what it is.

anthonyocasio For those wondering, Hannah is still on the show and Katheryn is still filming, as of today

anyone know what ep they are shooting now? 6/7?

good news:
anthonyocasio Katheryn Winnick said that Hannah will be in around a handful of episodes
Bad news: Looks like they will be spread out....

I get the feeling that she will be around for a while...but she won't be in every episode.

They are filming episode 7, the one in the chocolate factory and Tim Southam, the director, tweeted that he liked the way Brennan 'handled' Hannah, whatever that may mean. So she is definitely in this episode. The next episode which should be the Brennan-centric one starts filming on October 8th and I would bet that she is in that as well since it involves Brennan's feelings about Booth. That would make five episodes so far.

She's not in episode 4, but I believe she's in episode 5...because Emily talked about a "bonding" scene with Brennan and Hannah in a hospital, which means that Hannah is most likely the one who has the minor operation. I'm preparing myself for her to be around all season. At least until the sniper arch.

I really don't think it will be Hannah with the minor surgery, unless it is showing off her fearlessness and Booth pulls the over-protective male thing and she and Brennan are able to bond over 'how ridiculous that is'. I don't think her getting hurt would be a bad thing her resistance to stay safe in her new subdued job could be the first signs of tension in the couple. If she is a strong woman she will hate being protected just like Brennan did but she can see why he does it from an anthropological standpoint and has learnt to understand and almost accept it.

I think it is clever the way they have Hannah responding to questions from the media. I said in a different thread that this time they have an actress who is not saying she will not be recurring (i.e. Catfish). H-Bomb is an unknown quantity purely because Winnick can keep her mouth shut and is playing the cryptic game that Hanson likes. She seems to want the job and indicates she has a role beyond Booth's girlfriend. Her role outside of Booth and it gelling with everything else that is going on will determine her longevity. The whole will she stop B&B is an argument not worth having. Essentially Bones is a love story set in a forensics lab/ crime scene. It will happen but Hanson will get his money's worth and so will the network.

I understand those who cannot handle the watching part now, it is drawn out and can be painful for those who empathise or have invested so much. I choose to think that without that tension I would not be so obsessive, I want them to get together, I want that to happen before the last season because there is good storytelling to be had with them as a couple, but I think back to every other show that had a good dynamic like this and in the end when you watch them from the beginning you like all the episodes more once they have come to a resolution. How many people went back to the beginning after the 100th and saw so much more than before in the writing?

Once the inevitable union occurs between B&B it will make the H-Bomb an interesting watch. Maybe that is why repeats do so well on cable networks???? Bring on the plot device it is just a dip in the rollercoaster ride.

Per a posting on the Bones Spoiler site, looks like Hannah is in Ep 5 and she is the one having the medical procedure:
