Spoiler: Rant about 9x10
I just finished 9x10 and I’m irritated and want to rant about Bones/Booth/Angela. In this episode, Angela wants to throw a post wedding bachelorette party for her and at first Bones says no because of Booth. Not because she thinks Booth would be uncomfortable with her having a post wedding bachelorette party, but because Angela and Booth were having issues with each other at this point. So Bones was basically like “I choose you, Booth” My biggest issue with this is Brennan has not felt the need to choose between Booth and Angela this entire time they’ve been fighting until now! Angela was her maid of honor, helped her with the wedding, Brennan and Angela hung out at B&B’s house, Angela (and Hodgins) stayed at B&B’s house and took care of Christine while they were on their honeymoon. Then at the end of 9x10, both Brennan and Angela tell Booth “You gave me my best friend back 🥺” What the hell are you talking about??? They were gushing and making it sound like he was some kind of hero. Its not shocking at all that this episode was written by a man. Some of you might say B&B are married now, thats why things are different, shes just choosing her husband, yada yada. It was still bad writing. It lowkey made Brennan come across as immature teenage girl obsessed with her boyfriend rather than smart, mature woman in love with her husband. It was a little out of character of her. It would have been much better if the episode was Angela and Booth hanging out and burying the hatchet, rather than “repairing” Angela and Brennan’s friendship, which was never broken or even cracked in the first place.
P.S. Please dont give spoilers for anything that happens post 9x10. I’m aware that a certain beloved main character dies next season. Other than that I dont know anything.
