Ok, so it wasn’t as we imagined it. It wasn’t sweet or romantic or really anything. It was complete stunt pulled by the writers and Hart Hanson. So: point taken. The show is not about Booth and Brennan’s will they/won’t they dance. At least, it’s not intended to be entirely about that. Here’s what else happened in the season 5 premiere.

1. We discovered that Booth recovered almost entirely from his brain surgery and is feeling 110% better. Although he forgot what socks he wears and that he hates clowns. Other than that he is 110% fine. (Except for that whole in-love-with-Bones thingy.)

2. Absolutely nothing happened with Angela and Hodgins. Are they over? It’s honestly hard to tell simply based on the premiere episode which featured them individually about 2.5 scenes and together approximately 2.1 scenes. Which equals out to be not much.

3. Sweets is still around and still very perceptive. But I have to say that I’m a little angry at him for convincing Booth that his feelings were all symptoms of his brain surgery. But he redeemed himself when he was acting very protective of Brennan, which I appreciated.

4. Cyndi Lauper plays an amazing psychic (this is possibly because she naturally looks like a psychic). Everything Avalon said about Bones and Booth was true. My favorite scene was when Bones was at Avalon’s house and Avalon read her cards. It was one of the few times we get to see Brennan emotional and I love it.

So I have this horrible feeling that next week everything will be “back to normal” and that Booth and Bones will once again retreat to their “platonicy, professional” love. But if this premiere is all I have to hold onto, it’s still pretty fulfilling. What do you think?

Until next week

PREMIERE NEWS (SPOILERS!!!)

The premiere tomorrow night will reportedly begin after Booth & Brennan have been separated for 6 weeks. Brennan went away on a inconveniently timed dig while Booth recovers from brain surgery. A psychic friend (Cyndi Lauper) believes that there are dead bodies buried under a fountain. Booth & Brennan investigate. Check out Searching Bones for more spoilers PLUS photos from the premiere!

GENERAL SEASON NEWS

Michael Ausiello had a discussion with Hart Hanson in which he asked about possible love interests for Angela. Although the questions were valid, Mr. Hanson didn’t really give ANY information. Below is the transcript from EW.com.

Question: Spill it already! What do you know about the identity of Angela’s lover onBones? —Sarah P.
Ausiello: You’d be proud of me. I took all your questions/concerns about Angela’s mystery lover directly to series creator Hart Hanson. The transcript of that interrogation conversation is below:

Who will Angela break her vow of celibacy with?
HART HANSON: I’m not telling.

Can you at least rule someone out?
HANSON: Let’s see… who would I be willing to rule out of the equation… Let me think… No, I shouldn’t rule anyone out. That would be foolish of me.

Can you at least rule out Booth?
HANSON: I’m not going to rule out Booth. Are you kidding?

Is Angela’s choice of sex partners connected to the huge fight she and Brennan have?
HANSON: I’m not saying they aren’t connected. There’s a reason both those things happen in the same episode. I’m not saying it’s necessarily a story reason.

Someone scores major points for trying!

GUEST STAR NEWS

In the premiere, Cyndi Lauper will guest star as Angela’s psychic who helps out with a case. There’s also some rumors floating about that Brennan (Emily Deschanel)’s real life sister Zooey may guest star on the show this season as a member of Brennan’s family. Keep your eyes open!

FUN INFO

Some of the Bones cast members (Stephen Fry, Eric Millegan) , along with Hart Hanson are on Twitter. TJ Thyne posted this tweet a couple weeks ago “Just finishing wardrobe. Whole cast shooting a very cool promo all day! Dancing and everything. Oh yeah, I said dancing!! ”

Here’s the promo he was talking about:

Congrats to these lucky nominees, but I’m a little upset that there were no acting nominations. This year there were some great guest stars and awesome acting by the regulars. Maybe next year. In the mean time, great news: Bones has been renewed for at least the next 2 seasons! So at least 2 more years of chances for Emmy nominations for Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz. Try to make it the next month or so before the premiere watching reruns on TNT and FOX.

Enjoy your week and try to keep from thinking about what MIGHT happen on Thursday night!

HOUR 1

Angela, Hodgins, and Graysen

Whoa. Angela’s husband is hot! He is charming, attractive, sensitive, and every other redeeming quality. But, he isn’t Hodgins! When Angela first kissed him, I kept waiting for her to wake up but she never did. Quite a hello/goodbye kiss. If I were Hodgins, I’d feel a little insecure about it. But, it did end happily after he finally agreed to the divorce. But, I feel like this won’t be the end of his invasion of Angela & Hodgins’ life.

Bones, Booth, and their British Twins

The dynamic between these four is amazing. Booth and Bones find a pair that supposedly are their British counterparts, but Ian and Pritch don’t even seem to like each other that much. Love gone bad? . Will Bones and Booth realize that they have something “special”? Booth actually tells Bones that she is “special”! How awesome is that? And decided not to sleep with Ian because of Booth. Not that we haven’t seen these feelings before, but it’s good to see them again! Any kind of progress is good progress in the case of Booth & Bones.

TO BE CONTINUED…

As a huge, crazy Bones fan, I’m guessing you’re pretty excited about the 2-hour Bones premiere coming on in 4 DAYS!! How great is that? I’m sure you’re getting really excited so I’ve decided to give you so much information, that you will be busy until Wednesday.
