'The Couple in the Cave' Ep Reaction - SPOILERS

My immediate post-ep reaction, so I reserve the right to totally have a different opinion in a few days...

And I'm very conflicted about things so expect me to contradict myself a dozen times ...

On to my reactions:

- I like Hannah.  I mean, like her as in I could see hanging out with her and having a good time.  And she seemed to have that knack of connecting with people on their level (Discussing media conspiracies with Hodgins? FTW, Hannah.)  And Brennan didn't seem to put her off at all with her Brennan-ness. 
- Booth was getting on my nerves asserting to Brennan and Sweets how happy and in love he is.  I mean, I'm no shrink but it smacked of 'say it until it's true'
- I thought Brennan's statement to Angela that she had exactly what she expected to have in life very sad and unfortunately very true
- Back to Hannah:  I think she's going to get bored in D.C. and pull a Sully and ride off into the sunset. 
- Brennan basically spelled it out for Booth when they were in the bar at the end and she was basically telling him that it means nothing to love someone if you can fall out of love with that person and into love with someone else (I mean, she could have just said, "You proved my entire theory on feelings being ephemeral when you said you loved me but then went and fell for Hannah a few months later")
- Brennan was trying really hard I thought to be more open and friendly than I've ever seen - character growth, yay!
- Clark and his verbal diarrhea - hilarious!

All in all, I feel heart-crushed for Brennan, a little ticked off at Booth, annoyed that Angela doesn't seem to be getting it, and hopeful - all rolled into one. 

Now that I've gotten this off my chest I can cruise through LJ and check out everyone else's reactions!

I also feel heart-crushed for Brennan - and it was the exact same line that got me - the inflection in her voice when she said that her life was as she expected - Oh wow... there was almost a tiny tremor or catch... it killed me.

Hubby and I have actually gotten in several arguments about Booth - and how long he should have had to wait before he could find someone else... and my point isn't that he had to wait... but that it diminished his 'love' for Brennan because he apparently got over her and fell in 'love' again inside of 7 months. Plus, I'm annoyed by what I perceive as his dismissive attitude towards Brennan and the complete insensitivity he's showing towards her and her feelings. They were more than partners - they were best friends. She told him that she was too afraid to lose what they have - and in addition to proving her point that love is ephemeral - he's also proved her point that their partnership couldn't survive a failed love affair. Argh. I'm so annoyed by Booth... and it's not that I don't feel like he deserves to find love and be happy - he does - but it's the way he's handling the whole mess. Part of me is now wishing for some fabulous new guy for Brennan - someone sexy and sweet and smart... and just let them be with other people for awhile. But then I remember what an emotional investment I have in B/B and I return to my senses.

I also like Hannah and I can not tell you how much that annoys me. However, I find that she has a strange accent or pronunciation on certain words - and some of her line deliveries are a little odd... but that could just be me being nit-picky. :-)

A tiny part of me wants her to meet someone fab too! It's my "girl solidarity" coming out - I don't want her to pine for Booth while he's all in love with someone else!
