I'm not sure what to think of the new Bones spoiler. Everybody who reads my LJ knows that I'm a very pro-gay-lesbian-slash person, but I don't know what to think of Angela suddenly getting a girlfriend. I mean, it was mentioned that she swinged both ways and if someone should get a same-sex ship storyline on this show, it should be the free-spirited Angela, but... I don't know, I love her and Hodgins together. For four years she was strictly hetero as far as we know, the bi-talk notwithstanding, and I'm not all that interested in exploring her background, to be honest. And besides, with House's Thirteen having a very graphic lesbian affair, this just doesn't seem... original, I guess, just another show jumping the bandwagon. Maybe if they came up with this storyline sooner or waited a bit so that it didn't feel like they were just copying House... Or maybe it's just me and the fact that lately, I just can't work up much enthusiasm for the show anymore with Zack gone, Hodgins and Angela broken up... *sigh*

I've actually dropped bones, I tried to give it a chance after Zack left and I was just.. unimpressed. I have no idea what they're doing with this season, after finally getting angela and hodge together and then working on cool storylines for the other characters they just... fucked it up in season four.

Honestly it's the first time I've said this for a show but I really felt they jumped the shark at the end of season three and fucked up what I really liked about the show.

:( Although the epi where Zack came back *was* pretty awesome.

I agree that they totally jumped the shark with the whole Gormogon (or how the heck it's spelled) solution. It was so rushed that it was obvious they wanted to get it off the table before S4 started.

I actually like the new temps among whom Bones is trying to find her new "minion". They are pretty funny and very original. But it just feels like with Zack's departure, the show lost something... shiny, I gues :( The characters suddenly tend to behave like caricatures of them selves occasionally - like Booth in London. Ick! :(

I'm willing to give it a shot. I'm sure it's a temporary thing. They needed to shake up Jack and Angela, because no couple can be completely happy in TV land without getting boring.

Personally, I'm more upset about things that are happening in House. I enjoy Bones way more than House right now.

I just don't get the TV's need to "shake up" relationships. I'm a romantic at heart, I want to believe that when they fall in love, they actually stay in love *pouts*

I freely admit that I watch House for House and Wilson only and mostly skip everything else. I don't like series about doctors in general but I'm fascinated by the friendship between House and Wilson - they are both so nicely caustic!
