Best Finale Theory Ever (Not Mine) ***spoilers***
After trying to twist my own theory around to make sense, I have happened upon one that makes TOTAL sense in every way.
FIND IT HERE
This makes the most sense out of everything I've read/thought/discussed.

I'm open to pretty much anything that doesn't leave me wretchedly sobbing at this point.

~So the sex would be Future!(Real)!Sex?
~So when we come back in S5, they will have not really had sex?
BUT
they will have had epiphanies? No more delusion, and yet still fighting it?

Maybe this is just me wanting them to finally get it on for real. Because, it's not like the both of them would have the exact same vision of themselves in the future. Though I do like this idea of showing them in the future a lot, and it really really works with what we've seen--btw, whose bed are they sleeping in?
I always thought the cliffhanger would be something like them getting temporarily split up, as ED said in an interview that the way season five starts out would not work with a going-abroad episode.
Wow...I think I just wrote a lot. Hope it's coherent!
no subject
It's the only theory that really jives well with all of the spoilers we've gotten so far. But for some reason I'm still just unsure that this is what will actually happen.
no subject
what would be the cliffhanger that will end the episode?
I could see the epiphany(ies) - I'm not sure they would BOTH have epiphanies of the same type at the same time and neither do something about it *shrugs* - as "something that alters their relationship" and leaving it somewhat cliffhanger-y...
btw, whose bed are they sleeping in?
It must be their Future!(Real)!Sex bed! lol
Oh and them getting split up would be, um... horrible. Me no likey.
no subject
Exactly! And even though we know the series will end happily, why would the writers even want to jump the gun like this? Especially when Future!(Real)!Sex makes no sense--as, like you said, there is no freaking time machine.
It must be their Future!(Real)!Sex bed! lol
LMAO
Oh and them getting split up would be, um... horrible. Me no likey.
Maybe I'm just an angst whore for kind of thinking this could be kind of interesting to see.

Doesn't it just?!! *thrills* !!

First, while my initial thought is that it would make for delicious UST, because WE know where it's all heading... On the other hand... it kind of takes some of the fun out of it... 'cause now we've seen the end destination... do we need to stay to watch the journey??? I'm not saying that I would feel that way... but I bet that some people would feel that it takes the fun out of Will They/Won't They.
My other thing is that we were told that the sex would be something that they couldn't walk away from, would have serious ramifications for them... how does Future!(Real)!Sex (TM Space) do that? I mean... how will us knowing that they eventually do the deed affect THEM right now.
Finally... Emily interviewed that there would be a kind of big cliffhangery ending that had to do with their relationship. How cliffhangery can it be if we know that they will eventually be together regardless of what kind of shenanigans go on in the meantime?
And then my meeting ending and I raced back here to talk about this... because, as usual, I'm failing to keep my mind on work and off of Bones speculation. MAN... my productivity at work is going to go THROUGH THE ROOF starting May 18th. LOL.

How we know it's real iz confuzing. Does he something like, "hey remember six years ago when I had that brain tumor", or what?
We know Booth believes in heaven, so what if he's 'going towards the light' and sees a glimpse of the future he could have if he stays here on earth?
Technically, if he sees the future, that's Real!Sex! but no one but Booth knows about it. Cue the epiphany.
no subject
*g* That's a great question, S. *smooch*
no subject
What if Booth is "heading towards the light" and is given a chance to see the future he's giving up if he "dies"?
Re: cliffhanger - if Booth has a big life-changing experience, maybe he walks away from the partnership/FBI. That would fit with her comment about not going abroad.
no subject
You know what will be amazingly cool, if this really is the way it goes?!
Seeing the clip from the S4 finale ACTUALLY HAPPEN (or be a flashback/flashforward/flashpresent?? kinda thing) in the SERIES finale.
I'm such a sucker for continuity anyway, that would be my ultimate CON-utopia. :)
no subject
I think they like to be (try to be) very clever. And they always toot their horn about how they push the envelope with their science. Maybe this is one of those envelope-pushing moments.
no subject
Biggest 'hmmm' for me: how do we know this is Future!(Real)!Sex and not some wonky drug-induced hallucination?
Does Booth know this is some sort of glimpse into the future and that's how the UST gets cranked up? Because he knows the inevitable now? But she's still clueless?
(notice the overuse of question marks - I'm clearly befuddled)
no subject
I dunno, I don't see them giving up the partnership unless there's just NO other way. Don't you think they would at least TRY to "acknowledge that there are some emotional considerations" with Sweets and see if the partnership could be salvaged in light of the realizations? I'd definitely hope so.
And the "heading towards the light" was definitely the impression they left us with at the end of Critic. I don't put any doubt in the possibility of them following up on that in the finale. BUT, I wouldn't consider that to be real!sex. Not that I'm absolutely adamant that it BE real!sex and would stop watching the show or anything... but that would be Booth's anesthetic induced dream. Unless his SuperBooth!powers have made him prophetic now, as well. *sigh* We could call in Mulder and Scully on that one. :)

Maybe this is one of those envelope-pushing moments.
Only a few more days till we find out. If nothing else, the spec has sure been fun!
no subject
OMG yes. This would be heaven. I love continuity like this.
*feels like we may be giving them a tad too much credit*
no subject
What if he has what appears to be some permanent health problem? Or it appears he chooses to continue to "head towards the light"? Definite cliffhangers.
Have I just gone down the worst-case scenario road or what?
no subject
For someone that comes across as totally emotinally stunted most of the time, she seems to cry over him alot.
no subject
Isn't it though? I'm thrilled you've jumped back into the fray.
no subject
The non-potential of Booth dying would be a stupid cliffhanger of epic proportions. DB is not leaving the show.
I know - he could be a zombie. I hear they make for good entertainment. ;)
no subject
I just had a crazy thought:
What if they have sex like two normal people because they're sexually attracted to each other? And since they work together and are good friends, it's awkward and weird and that's the fallout.
That sure would be a twist :)

Even my DH made a comment while watching that she's an emotional nightmare - one minute she's a robot and the next she's crying in the hospital waiting room.
He said that if she wasn't so hot, Booth should have kicked her to the curb years ago, lol.
Men. *eyeroll*

Lucky for him, I knew I would be home today to watch again uninterrupted. Of course, I only watched the end :)

Of course, my commentary ran along the lines of, "Is she stupid - do it with him, don't send him to the sperm bank!"

*raises hand & seconds* Let's do it! I'd love to be in on it! :)

Thanks for posting about this theory though, some nice brain food (plus, speculation is always welcome *g*)! :)
