'Cinderella' and 'Mayhem' Post-ep Reaction
**SPOILERS ****
I watched both eps back to back, so it feels like one long one. This may be rambly - just a warning :)
- The last scene of 'Cinderella' was fantastic. DH actually was watching with me and he loved her taking the bottle and giving him the glass. He also admitted that he couldn't watch without staring at her boobs in that outfit.
- I thought the Hodgins/Angela moment at the bar was really angsty goodness. Those two are destined! (PS - How did Wendell get such hot friends?)
-Who doesn't love Gordon Gordon?
- Am I an idiot but which one of them is he saying is fighting the attraction? I've always assumed Booth, but something about the last scene in Sweets office just seemed like it was her. Maybe I'm just slow but it didn't seem obvious that it was one vs the other - it seemed like both of them are fighting it pretty hard.
- Her admission about the foster family broke my heart - loved that it broke Booth's too. I thought he was going to cry.
-I'm glad we found out more about Sweets, and this ep seemed like Wyatt was passing the torch to him, which I can live with now I think
- All in all, I loved the second ep and only liked the first. I'm starting to get a feel for how they plan to have her character undergo some changes this season, leading up to the finale.
What about everyone else?
PS - Britt - read your rant and you go girl!

Re: What GG saw:
What I wrote at Space's post:
First of all, we have to think what we are examining - not what we think is actually going on in their heads, but what GG has observed. I don't think he would presume to know this much about Brennan - she hardly wears her heart on her sleeve in public...
Then it was all about that scene at the end. Sweets worked out who GG meant from that moment with the handkerchief.
To me, Brennan was all about Sweets there - she wanted to make him feel better, both after seeing that he had gone through a similarly traumatic childhood and after the last ep (probably still feeling bad for the Daisy cock up). She shared her story with him and asked Booth to do the same and the ONLY reason he did was because she asked him to. He was all about dragging Sweets back to his for dinner before she gave him that imploring look. This Sweets sees.
Then she hands him back the handkerchief and I love that she puts it in his pocket - deeper meaning for her? Handing him a little bit of her heart? Maybe. But it was a dramatic device, to give us first Booth's little look of surprise (gulp!) that she did that, such an intimate thing, and then his putting his hand there just for a second, over his heart as though he could capture that and hold on to it.
That is what Sweets saw, IMO.
It was Sweets that mentioned denial and sublimation of feelings, GG said it's not that it's that one of them knows full well how they feel and struggles with it everyday. It's not about denial so much IMO.
I think Booth struggles with his feelings because he knows she's not ready. He can't push her - he's said this before. She's not there yet.
You and I know she could be soon - she is getting there - handing him a little bit of her heart each time.
But yeah, GG meant Booth.
....So that's my take on it!! Long-winded as usual. I just don't think anyone would describe Brennan as struggling with these feelings every day as she's only just beginning to discover them. Booth, on the other hand, I think is well aware of how he feels.

I LOVE all of the discussion that this has engendered!!! It's so awesome to see how differently everyone looks at this!!!

Lots of discussion here, which basically covers all the reasons why I believe this to be true :)
Not that I don't think she feels for him too, just that this moment was about acknowledging what we shippers have known all along - he's head over heels :)
