Ironic statement from Booth
Okay, watching a rerun the other day, “The Truth in the Lye” and I couldn’t help but find this a little ironic. During the episode, Booth hooks up with his ex and although Bones doesn’t seem to think it’s a big deal, Booth realizes it was a mistake. Throughout the episode, Bones tries to convince him that it’s normal for him to want/need sex and that if he and his ex are sexually compatible and agree on it, that their occasional trysts are fine. Finally, Booth addresses the issue:
Booth: You know what Bones, it might be all anthropology to you, but there are certain people that you just can’t sleep with. I mean you can pretend that it’s just sex you can lie to yourself and you can say that it’s all good, but there are just too many strings, too much at stake. Too much to lose.
Bones: Yeah, I can see that.
Now, on that note, consider the upcoming fulfillment of our long-awaited dream of Booth and Bones finally getting together themselves - in a sexual way that is. While we’ve finally been told that it is indeed coming (this season even), I can’t help but wonder what kind of “strings” are going to be attached and what kind of backlash we can expect. It’s never as uncomplicated as we’d like it to be, and even Bones with her strictly analytical way of looking at things - sex included - can get away from the fact that a physical relationship doesn’t always mix well with a working relationship…
