The One in Which Doc Rants ***SPOILERS***
Okay. If you haven't read the spoilers for the Season 4 finale stop HERE.
Seriously, you have been warned.
No really. You've been warned. A LOT. DO NOT CLICK. DO NOT PASS GO.
From what I've gathered, Booth and Brennan are having sex in the Season 4 finale. Apparently they are having sex because Brennan wants Booth to father her child. (I haven't actually read that verbatim anywhere, but I'm no dummy. I can put two and two together like a champ.) Booth apparently doesn't feel as clinical and detached about this as Brennan. Hart Hansen thinks this is a good plot device.
THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA!!!
I feel better now that I've shout-typed that.
I think this is a horrible idea. To use the popular "jump the shark" metaphor: they are strapping on the water-skis with the Fonz. Goof!Booth is annoying, but Pregnant!Brennan may be the last straw. I have stood by this show through a lot and it kills me to think I won't always love it. I will watch every episode between now and the finale, and pass judgment then. I just had to get this out.

I can only take a little of Goof!Booth before I get bored. And I don't really get the whole pregnant Brennan idea - I think it is a little too soon for her to have a complete reversal on such an important topic.
It's not that I can't understand that she might have a change of heart - with her father coming back into her life, with the family she has built up with the lab people, with her developing 'human-ness' over the past seasons, I can see her changing her mind on the 'no kids' stance.
But not yet.
And not that way - having sex with Booth as a sperm donor? Puh-leaze! She would hand him a cup and a skin mag, shake his 'deposit' up in a turkey baster, and do the deed herself before flying off to identify remains in some jungle.
Whew! I feel better too!

And your description of what the "real" Brennan would do to get pregnant - perfect. My thoughts exactly.
