So, what have we learned from the promos? Oh, where to begin...oh right, Booth tells Bones that he loves her! That seems fairly important to mention here. :) Of course, as you may have seen in the promos, he immediately follows up his declaration of love with "in a professional, atta boy, kinda way." This addendum is in reaction to the Brennan's trademark look of confusion and discomfort. Obviously, Booth has awoken from his coma with a newfound knowledge of the depth of his feelings for her...not that he didn't know he loved her beforehand, but I think getting that glimpse of what life could be like with her as his girl has really kicked things into high gear for him now. I suppose before it was easier for him to repress his feelings for Brennan because he didn't know any better, in a way. Now, however, he has been through the looking glass and back again...he knows what it would be like if he could be with her and there really is no going back now. Of course, he will try to keep his feelings for her at bay but there is only so much pretending he will be able to do. You know that at some point he is going to get tired of not living the life he knows they could have together...and when he reaches that point...well, that's when things are really gonna get interesting.
I am so excited that things with these two are going to come to some sort of head this season. I think seeing Booth struggle with these feelings he has for Brennan is going to be so much fun to watch....and seeing Brennan struggle to continue to deny her own feelings for Booth which were definitely pushed further to the surface last season is going to be so angsty it's not even funny....and I know I'm gonna eat it up!
I'm also excited to see how this change in Brennan and Booth's relationship will affect the whole team. I mean, they all already know that these two are totally in love with each other...Angela and Sweets, especially...but the foretold "awkwardness" Angela speaks of in one of the promos is going to be so interesting to watch unfold. Plus, Cam obviously knows about Booth's feelings for Brennan...she states in the promo, "You're in love with Dr. Brennan." It's not a question for Booth...it's a fact that she is just putting out there. I wonder how she will be a factor in what happens between them this season. As Booth once told Brennan, they are the center of the group and the center must hold. What happens when the center holds but is full of secret lovin' and angsty goodness??? Oh my, I cannot wait to find out!
Hart Hanson and David Boreanaz were both talking about how Booth and Brennan will be "rediscovering" each other this season, not only because Booth will have some memory gaps but because they definitely see each other in a new light now. Booth knows he is in love with Brennan and he won't be able to help but see her as "Bren," his wife from his coma dream. Brennan knows she is in love with Booth, too, though she will, of course, put that in a neat little box and shove it deep down inside somewhere...even still, what she wrote about and the revelations she had while Booth was in that coma will undoubtedly affect her view of Booth. I wouldn't be surprised, dear readers, if we see Brennan date other men in a desperate attempt to forget about those feelings. Of course, she will fail miserably but I'm game to watch her go for it. Good luck to you, Bones!
I always love B&B's sessions with Sweets, but now I'm especially looking forward to them. So much about their relationship and feelings for each other have been revealed during their chats with Sweets...imagine what is going to come out now or at the very least be hinted at now that all that subtext is closer to being...well, text! Sweets is so essential to these two progressing in their relationship and I think he is going to hit on some VERY sensitive topics this season. He can read people almost as well as Booth can and he is going to catch on very quickly to the changes Brennan and Booth have had in terms of how they see each other. I think Booth is going to be open to discussing things while Brennan is going to be squirming like a worm on a hook during most of these sessions. Can't you just see it now? I know I can!
All the relationship business aside, I am looking forward to watching Booth rediscovering who he is as a person and as an agent. It's not that he has forgotten himself, but bits and pieces of things have been misplaced. I am sure there will be moments of pure frustration and those of pure joy as he puts all those pieces back together.
It has been a long, dry summer of speculation about the upcoming season. Being a teacher, I love the summer because it means no work. However, I am more than willing to rush the remainder of this break along just to get to the new season. I have a feeling it's gonna be so worth it!!! Bring on Season 5!
