It’s been a minute
since I have posted. I was plagued with a husband who is traveling and
toothache that I was sure would kill me. The husband is still traveling but the
toothache has lessened so now I am ready to give my two cents on the finales of
Bones and Fringe. Only read the following if you have watched both finales .
SPOILER ALERT!
Let’s start with Bones. I loved the finale of Bones but I
have loved this whole season. Some fans seem to find the addition of baby
Christine as unnecessary or have even claimed it takes away from the
awesomeness of the show. I find that bizarre. I think motherhood brings out
some really wonderful things in the
character of Temperance Brennan. It has softened her a little but not too much.
She is still highly analytical and extremely driven. She is still our beloved
Bones. As for Booth, I don’t believe the birth of his second child has changed
him much, but it has changed their relationship for the better.
The episode itself left us with a delightfully painful
cliffhanger. The events leading up to this delightful cliffhanger kept me on
the edge of my seat and caused me to bite my poor nails down to the quick
(Thanks for that Hart Hansen!). Emily Deshanel is still on top of her game
despite her maternity leave and David Boreanez never disappoints but I think
the actor who impressed me the most was Tamara Taylor (Dr. Camille Saroyan) who
was torn between her loyalty and love for Temperance Brennan and her duty the
law and integrity of the Jeffersonian. She really had me on the verge of
hysterics when she made the choice to do the right thing. Ryan O’Neal was also
doing his thing and laying it down (so to speak) with a performance that was so
very in character.
I am waiting…as patiently as I can…for season 8. Hmmm….
