Post-ep Discussion for 'Science in the Physicist'

[doc_3]

**spoilers obviously**

Hopefully most of you have watched by now.  I watched last night at 10pm EST - right after the dvr clicked off.  I was actually excited for this ep ...

Good points:

1.  The "wall scene" - not what we all hoped for but cute nonetheless.  Both of them looked a little frisky *minor squee*

2.  Mr. Nigel-Murray - I really like him.  He's not Zack but he is funny.

3.  Booth's speech about "making a metaphorical mark"  - she actually seemed to get it

4. Brennan's concern for Booth's jaw - *big squee* - right after she turned down the weirdo blind guy. 

 

Bad points:

1.  Booth's portrayal as "stupid" - that bugs the crap out of me

2. Goof!Booth - no need to say more

3.  The really strange smart people - most really smart people are not that bizarre or that robotic in terms of emotions.  All geniuses don't have Asperger's syndrome.

 

There are tons more but in the spirit of discussion, I hope to hear everyone else's opinions!

I definitely thought that this was more of a return to previous form than disasters like The Bones That Foam. Not season two by a long shot, but at least pointed in the right direction.

Mr. Nigel-Murray is not my fav. temp intern (that would be Wendell), but I just wish they'd settle on someone. They'd better do it by the end of the season is all I can say!

On the bright side, there was less goof!Booth than in the last ep. We definitely had comic!relief!Booth, but I think there was less goof!Booth. But in my mind any goof!Booth is too much goof!Booth...

And yes, I totally agree -- Booth's portrayal as 'stupid' bugs the crap out of me too. In 'Intern in the Incinerator' Brennan clearly told him he wasn't stupid. Exactly why did she change her mind? Okay, okay, maybe the recent appearance of goof!Booth has something to do with it... ;)

Yeah and me - when I saw the teaser of that line, I thought they were going to have her follow it up with, 'You're not stupid at all' but no. Grrr.

No, no, no... not when it can be turned into a slapstick comedic moment! *headdesk*

I really had hope for this scene but alas, it was quashed ;)

I am totally in love with your icon! *trying to focus now on my post*

I'm okay with funny!Booth, as long as it's not overdone, and that is a far cry better than Goof!Booth.

I kind of agree that maybe the appearance of Goof!Booth has caused him to regress :)
