The One in Which Doc Rants ***SPOILERS***

[doc_3]

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 have not been excited all season, but when I first read the "sex spoiler" I thought - okay, maybe we'll get somewhere. And like you said, I thought we were getting somewhere with her emotional retardation after her reaction to Jared and her little speech at Booth's birthday party. Unfortunately I think you're right that we've gone backwards. The more I read and hear, the worse I feel about the future. I totally agree that DB is over his head here.
