The Pain in the Heart

[doc_3]

Just my initial thoughts:

1.  This definitely should have been a two-parter.  

2.  Tamara and T.J. were fantastic in this.  Both of them took a mediocre/bad script and worked miracles. 

3.  David and Emily seemed rushed in their scenes (see number 1).  I could have done without the bathtub scene, it was contrived.  I think this ep opens a lot of doors for them though.  Them together at the end really got me.  

4.  I don't know how I feel about Zack being the apprentice and losing Eric.  I just can't wrap my brain around it all.  

I need to sleep on this and maybe watch again.  My head's still spinning.  Ugh.

On the B&B front, I feel better about them than I have in the last few eps.

Her reaction about going to the funeral, and then punching Booth, was awesome. Although it was corny as hell, the bathroom scene was also some more forward motion for them. And at the end ... guh.

For all the things that the writers got wrong this season - strike or no, they just plain screwed up at times - the evolution of this relationship has been very realistic. It feels very much like they're on the cusp of something, and it feels like it's the right time.

I hope you're right - I just wanted a touch more emotion in the bathtub scene (hence my re-write LOL) but I loved the closing scene yes :)

WHile they skimmed over it in the ep, I think the emotion was there in the bathtub scene. She obviously touched a nerve about him not caring, when he jumped up all unconcerned about his naughty parts showing. Looking forward to the rewrite!
