Even my favorite- Pride and Prejudice- fits this.... If you switch the genders, Brennan could be the cooly rational Mr. Darcy who loves Booth (Elizabeth) but fears her feelings for him (and as an aside, he's also of a lower 'class' from her just like Elizabeth was to Darcy)... So Booth (again, Elizabeth) turns her affections elsewhere after feeling rebuffed by Brennan (Darcy)- and also feeling like he's not quite good enough. Booth (aka Elizabeth) turns to a fun loving and 'life of the party' Hannah (Mr. Wickam in our Pride and Prejudice story.) And any of us who know the story, well we all know what happens to Mr. Wickam in the end, don't we? LOL And that Darcy and Elizabeth live happily ever after- once the misunderstandings and hidden feelings are cleared up! Am I nuts, and just seeing "Bones" everywhere? LOL

You know in the movie version of P&P (if you listen to the director commentary) Joe Wright- the Director...calls the 1st proposal scene between Lizzie & Darcy the "car crash moment"...I call Booth's "let's gamble" the Car Crash Moment in the 100th! Very Happy

On a shallow side note: Hannah's hurt her knee and that's why she's in a hospital bed? I should hope that Booth is not stuck to her bedside! Get a grip! It's just a knee! (It's not like she's seeing cartoon babies Wink

[quote="TinkonBrink"].I've recently had a re watch of some of my old Jane Austen DVDs. This Booth/Brennan/Hannah thing is like the plot of Persuasion! Very Happy

...No! I didn't take Hannah to Lyme and push her off the wall! heybaby

[quote="tinkrella"]

Ah! Persuasion is my favorite Jane Austin. Wentworth is so superior a mate compared to Darcy. Here's hoping Hannah takes her spill sooner rather than later. Twisted Evil

LOL... totally agree with the 'car crash moments' Smile

It's funny cause they say that nearly all love stories in movies etc... tend to revert back to this 'Pride and Prejudice' formula. (or other Austen novels would surely apply I'm sure cause they generally follow the same formula too... they just usually quote the P&P one). If you switch up the genders, conflict keeping them apart and means of resolution.... most of them DO seem to fi! LOL

I agree about the knee too- it's obviously been there since Afghanistan and she's done just fine... no cartoon babies anywhere in sight! I think Booth should just go golfing or something!- LOL okay, okay, maybe that would be a tinee tiny bit out of character for Booth I guess Wink

... drat! (I was gonna say golfing or card game, Shocked

but in Booth's case that would be a 'no no'!)

Maybe practice some more plumbing with Brennan?
Or go ice skating with Brennan?
Or go shopping...with Brennan so she can pick out something other than her Joseph and his amazing technicolor dream coat array of trench coats and Booth...Booth can find himself some more inspirational ties?
Or...you know, he could just sit by Blondzilla's bedside and read her a nice story? ("Once upon a time a nice blonde lady went for a walk on a high wall...." Twisted Evil

HYSTERICAL!
Tink, you're very popular now: a good friend of mine tells that a) she loves you (second it!) and b) asks you if she may post this 'once upon a time' on twitter to HH or simply about #Bones (whatever that # means...)?

Tink- LMAO... "Joseph and his array of technicolor dreamcoats" for the trench ROFL

OK, if this goes to him, I'd be curious if and how he responds. Like, would he get the tongue-in-cheek humor, or get mad again? I would think he'd get it. Especially the fact that it's a "nice" blonde lady. Razz

. As in, yes Hart, we get it, she's nice. DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACT THAT WE'D LIKE HER GONE ASAP. Very Happy

. It might actually give him a laugh.

@ Tinkonbrink- may I just say bowdown

and

to your cleverness! LOL You are hysterical! Perfect example of why I love this forum-I am SO enjoying being part of the conversation here and it has gotten me even more psyched about this season than I was before! Very Happy

Okay me ABY peeps! [Only admins are allowed to see this image][Only admins are allowed to see this link] alt="" />

You know I love you all back, right? 2Tup

Someone (probably the local authorities) would find me muttering incoherently in a dark corner if it weren't for this forum and you fellow ~~nutters~~ fans!

I've dragged myself out of my Barbie/Hannah/Blondzilla induced funk...and I'm currently knocking about the idea of doing a FanVid about Hannah Tink stylieee!...but shhhhh! It's still in development!

Yeah..about HH...I'd steer clear of "The Hanson" unless the subject includes Top Gear, Canada, Non Bones topics, Canada, Good ratings, Top Gear and...maybe Canada?! I'm sure he'd appreciate the comparison of Bones to the Classics...not too sure if he'd find it flattering to know I'm waiting for Hannah to go KerrSplat?! Razz

Tink, you my friend, are my hero. I literally snorted sweet tea through my nose. Do you have any idea how painful that is??
I'll be patiently waiting for that Hannah fan vid by the way....

And yes I do like Hannah, I don't have a problem with her. But if I had to choose- I'm with Brennan. All the way. Therefore I wouldn't have a problem with Hannah taking a hike along the wall. I'd even be willing to help out by giving her a friendly little push. You know, just to be helpful wouldn't want to see her get hurt or anything. Twisted Evil

We haven't seen any tender, loving scenes between Booth/Hannah yet...which does make me feel better. I'm okay with hot, monkey sex...because it shows that their relationship based of sex, adreline, and lust...but they if they show they show some tender loving scenes, I would feel like it's threatening B&B's relationship. I'm sure Booth has feelings for Hannah...and that we'll get some "angsty, worreid" Booth scenes...because that's just the type of guy he is. I just hope they don't over do it in this episode.
