doc_3 | I so thought this was out of my system ... (Spoilers btw)

OMG Doc... I can't... can't think. WT MUTHA F? Someone tell me this is an early April fool...

I can't work out what distresses me most, the Stewie thing (could barely type that) or the fact that they are going to go so far as to have Booth go to the sperm donation place.

I literally cannot fucking believe I am going to type this but... if this happens it will be the absolute end for me. THE END.

*weeps inconsolably*

I literally cannot fucking believe I am going to type this but... if this happens it will be the absolute end for me. THE END.

Exactly what I was thinking. I really don't think there is any way I can continue to watch if a)Booth goes to a sperm bank to donate (typing that made me feel nauseous) or b)he hallucinates Stewie talking to him

I would love to think that this was a joke, but way too much of it is apparently true. And honestly, Ausiello is generally right with his spoilers. Sometimes things are out of context but ...

*weeps with you*

Exactly that - too much of it is already true as far as we know and .. yeah I'm with you, the thought of Booth going to donate??? *chucks*

I've been telling myself to keep an open mind, blah, blah, blah. I'm not sure it's possible to be open-minded enough to accept this.

Booth at the sperm bank? Blrgh!

*spews again*

You know I was even talking myself into thinking the baby spoilers may be misleading and not as bad as I worried, but this????

I literally cannot fucking believe I am going to type this but... if this happens it will be the absolute end for me. THE END.
I'm with you there! :(

ITA. I hate that we're all in agreement on this :(

Maybe this is just the shows way of making everyone stop being upset about the idea of the sex/baby storyline??? Now people will see that it *could* be worse and they'll be okay with the sex/baby stuff???

This seriously has to be a joke. Really. I don't think I can handle it if it's not.

Well, if they tried to come up with 'worst case scenario' I think this is it.

I mean, I really can't think of anything less appealing.

And what sort of health crisis makes you hallucinate while you're at a sperm bank? I mean, if you're sick enough to hallucinate cartoons, then you should be doing that.

I'm just so stunned and disappointed and freaking angry right now, I just... It's like I can't even talk about it without starting to yell and just repeating "REALLY???" over and over again.

I feel totally out of sorts too. I keep wanting to yell at someone over this but obviously can't get HH on the phone right now.

How sad is it that now I want to watch the last eps of this season less that I did before? It's like if I don't watch it won't really happen.

Ditto, both points *cries some more*

My only slight consolation is that we can all suffer together. Interestingly, there has not been one positive reaction on that original thread over at

206_bones - not even from those that are usually relentlessly optimistic about the show.

*shakes*

*waves hand* Ms. Relentlessly Optimistic right here!!! And even with my most rose coloured glasses I can not see how this could be good. I mean... anything that comes out sounding like that much of a joke either has to be a joke... or is the most shark jumping this ever. The fact that it was even presented in the same light as the whole Grey's Anatomy farce... wow. There is just no way I can have faith and be optimistic now... the best I can hope for now is that maybe it won't be as bad as I think. But... I can't imagine that.

What happened on Grey's, because I stopped watching that?

Oh babe, I can't believe they have jumped that shark so high even you can't get on board with it. There is nothing about this that sounds good, nothing!

I haven't watched Grey's in a long time... but I have to read about the ridiculous storylines just for the pure WTF-ery. Apparently Izzie was seeing (and having sex) with Denny's ghost, all due to a brain tumor or some other brain related illness. It was so completely stupid, that if I had been investing time and energy watching the show, I would have been SO freaking mad... sort of the way I'm SO freaking mad right now. OH MY GOD... I'm just pissed off!

And... seriously, re-reading like every one of my comments has been painful. I'm mis-using words like crazy. I had a tooth pulled today and I'm high as a kite (and still this mad, I can't even begin to imagine how pissed off I would be if I wasn't doped to the gills right now) So, I'm glad that you seem to be able to decipher my ramblings.

LMAO at you high as a kite - stay that way babe, this is way too harsh sober..

And WTF at Grey's? I stopped watching just after Denny died (urelated to that but anyway...) so I know of who you speak. That is pure class of the crazy people.

I am now going to bed.. to cry myself to sleep :(

I was really shocked at that. Usually the mods or others take a very 'wait and see' attitude but everyone was stunned and completely negative about this. Didn't really make me feel better ...

Have you read my latest post re sides? I read them and the way they handle why Booth would agree/what he says/stewie (god help us) made me feel better... BUT I still cannot get my head around why Brennan would suddenly want a kid!!

After your post, I went straight and broke my "no sides" rule, to see if it made me feel better. I posted my initial thoughts, and to add to that: I don't think I can give up even if I never can wrap my brain around it. I love these characters too much, even if I don't love what they're doing with them.

Me too!!! I might sometimes be watching through my fingers, but I am watching for sure. And I might have figured out why Bren wants a baby too! ...Possibly ;)

I have NO desire to watch the show tonight... and now I really couldn't care less that next week is pre-empted. All that means is that it will be a little bit longer until they kill this show that I have loved so much.

Is there any way that this could be good??? ANY WAY???

They're bumping it again? Well that prolongs the agony.

Is there any way that this could be good??? ANY WAY???

No. And LMAO, I posted basically this to you above!

Edited: Because for what possible reason am I typing your own username to you?? Bones has driven me raving mad!!

I've just watched the new show, and I can't say it made me feel better. In fact, it made me feel worse just because I don't want to get all into it only to watch it circle the drain later on.

After much thought and teeth gnashing (not a good idea in my present condition) I've decided to just go ahead and be optimistic. I almost couldn't enjoy the episode last night... and found myself picking at things that I wouldn't usually even notice, probably due to all the negativity that I ramped up on before the episode. So I went ahead and read the spoilers, and spent some time talking to people who are even more relentlessly optimistic than I am... and while I don't feel super happy about the spoilers, I feel a little more hopeful than I did before that maybe it won't be a total train wreck. And while re-watching the episode today, I also realized that I will most likely follow this show to whatever end that it comes to, because I have an unreasonable love for these characters.

Have you resigned yourself to giving up... or are you going to keep at it?

I have an unreasonable love for these characters.

After much thought after last night's ep, and reading more spoiler-talk and peeking at sides, I realized that I feel much the same as you. I don't think I can not watch - even if it's to a very bitter end.

*sighs*

I really think (hope, hope, hope) that it won't be as bad as the initial spoiler from Ausiello made it sound. I think it might be a bit goofy... but... mostly that doesn't bother me too much, until someone points out how bothered they are... and then I start dwelling and feeling like I shouldn't love the show like I do... and I'm just kind of tired of feeling that way... so I'm going to stop. There may be things that make me roll my eyes or that I just don't like (Booth and the stripper last week would be one of those) but on the whole, even those things make me laugh or whatever... don't stop me from loving the show. So... I think I'm going to try and just keep my rose coloured glasses on and get back to being optimistic and having faith that while the writers have occasionally had a misstep or two, generally continue to deliver on a show that I love.

Me too! We all seem to be feeling better about this.

*squeezes you*

What alternate dimension have I slipped into this evening?
*blinks repetitively*

I won't even bother to rant about this, it's so preposterous.
THIS.

ITA with everything you just said.

Yes, THAT.

WTF?

I can only imagine that it's an April Fool's joke. Anything else, and they're shooting themselves in the head with it, literally. I haven't seen ANY positive comments, and I really really REALLY hope the writers aren't that stupid as to do something like this.

I've lately felt this season was a slowly dying Bones, but this just would kill it completely outright. And makes me wonder what the people who came up with that storyline were on...crack maybe?

I guess the most optimistic I can be is to say I'll have to wait until I see it to fully give up. But that is my only shred of hope if this is actually true...

ETA: Oh, and btw, if you're looking for a new show to try out, I'm really enjoying Lie to Me and The Mentalist lately (both are on their first season).

Edited 2009-03-20 04:16 (UTC)

I think crack must definitely be involved. Or 'shrooms. (Did I just give away my age?)

I love Simon Baker so I may give The Mentalist a chance. I'm really digging Fringe right now, too.

*wails* There's no great fandom like you guys though!

Or 'shrooms. (Did I just give away my age?)

LMAO! Yes!!

I missed some Fringe, but have picked it back up again - trailer for this weeks looks amazing.. not sure where we are in relation to you guys, but apparently Olivia has gone missing *trembles*

I so thought this was out of my system ... (Spoilers btw)
