Vasu, I hate Hannah by default :P You know, before Hannah came in, I was fine with a new girl in Booth's life concept. But Hannah-Booth relationship puts me off. I would seriously have viewed their relationship objectively, and wouldn't have hated it so much if only their relationship wasn't so superficial and physical. love can be expressed in many ways.....but all these two does is have sex or, if we are lucky, just exchange some disgusting kisses. Come on.....have a normal chit-chat....kiss each other, but do that normally....don't eat each others face off🤢. If their relationship had more meaning, then I would have respected it. But it is limited to lust. How that makes them a perfect couple and in-love couple is still a wonder.

We don't blindly hate Hannah just cuz she's Booth's gf, Vasu.....I'm not saying that Booth should blindly keep on pining after Brennan forever....but the very way in which the Booth-Hannah relationship has been shown is very FORCED and way too superficial....most of the time they only show their sex scenes....plus Hannah's weird....her scene where she was becoming "friends" with Brennan by asking for her sunglasses was damn stupid.....so the "obstacle" in this case is not being shown well....I found Sully annoying too but he was far better than Hannah. Rebecca was ok....never much of a fan of her either.

Kahan Anu....now I wish I had lurked😆. Feeling kinda lost. I did log in twice, but once to read Nimmi's RRs and another time for some Harry Potter related stuffs. I stayed away from the CC because if I check it once, I will eventually start replying.

Oh, this reminds me of two things.....first, I really liked Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. Given that I forgot many details from the book, and the acting and direction in the film improved admirably.......I couldn't help but be impressed with this part. And maybe I am being biased, I dunno, but I thought Rupert acted the best😍. Watson improved a lot. She was quite good. Daniel is a fine actor, but in come scenes his expressions were off. So he wasn't very consistent with his performance. But still......all three were amazing. And I so loved the Ron-Hermione scenes......the Harry-Hermione, Ron-Harry bits. And the trio hug was quite cute. Did you watch the film? Or am I spilling out too much?😕😆.

And second, when I was reading Nimmi's RRs, she was online. I didn't know she still visited IF. I thought she was absolutely inactive. Wish she would drop in here sometimes. Miss her wacko talks.

No....I didn't watch any show...except for Bones. Off course, while having lunch/dinner or taking a break from studies, I did see scenes from this and that show on TV, but that was about it.

Oh you were reading Nimmi's RRs? Aise hi nostalgia mode mein after all these days? LOL.....yeah she does log on....I've seen her batti green many times and even PM'd her....but she's never replied......

Oh and I have watched Deathly Hallow-part 1....watched it the day it came out actually....coincidence hi tha....LOL....but yeah I loveddddddddddd it....has to be my fav. HP movie so far.....the other movies always left me disappointed in comparison with the book....this is the first movie that didn't and that's pretty huge to me.....I loved all the adorable sweet RH scenes like the bickering and the LOOKS that Hermione would give him....lol....and I found that scene when they're at the piano and he's just looking at her really sweet.....and ofcourse the surprise addition to the movie....the Harry-Hermione dance....one of my fav. scenes ever....lovedddddddddddd the way they showed that....has to be one of the most beautiful scenes of pure friendship ever....love the bond these two share....there were some great Harry-Hermione scenes in the movie....Loved the way they showed Dobby's death also....as heartbreaking as the book.....only joker like thing in the movies still is Voldy.....he's such a cartoon😆😆.....Anyways agree performances wise they were all good....improved....Rupert toh has always been better than Dan in many ways and he was quite good in this movie also and I agree that even Emma's improved quite a bit.....oh and I also loved the way they showed the deathly hallows ki story when it was being narrated in Lovegood's house.

Hee hee. I get ya. But that seems to be Booth's default in all his relationships...Rebecca, Cam & now Hannah. Whenever they were together on the show...it was all about sex. There was that one girl in the beginning (forgot her name) with whom he was planning to move in/go on holiday, but that blew up pretty quickly. In fact, the only real "connection" he had was with Cam, and that too because of a past relationship, and the whole Cam "nearly getting killed" scene was the only time there was any actual intimacy between them, of the non-sexual kind.

I guess the point of all these women is to contrast the fact that all Booth really gets from these relationships is the physical aspect...because h's getting the rest from Bones😳

edit: @Anu - NOoooooooooooooooo!!! No one, but NO ONE IN THE WHOLE DAMN WORLD is/was as annoying as Sully! Now that's a case of forcing himself on us and the characters. 🤢 Hated him silly.

I have to disagree, Vas.....no, Cam's relationship with Booth was NOT just about sex....there was a great friendship there too that didn't seem forced and while it's true that I hated Cam when she first entered but I always found her very charming....even when she and Booth were having their little fling....plus fact remains that even if Booth was having his flings, he STILL used to blow those ppl off to be with Brennan....LOL....for e.g. that Blonde in the game epi in season 2 when he stays back to eat Thai food with Brennan at the end of the epi.

Even with Rebecca, there was history....it wasn't superficial.....Hannah is just PATHETIC and at THIS STAGE of the show when Booth has REALIZED that he loves Brennan, even MORE forced....no sorry, I really can't stand her character.....they haven't even BOTHERED to make her likeable....the actress playing her also plays her in this cocky manner that I really dislike.

@Vasu....true, that the scenes that has been shown to enlighten us on Booth's romantic life has always been like this. But you know, neither Tessa nor Rebecca were as important as Hannah. And even then, Tessa-Booth relationship got more meaning from that one 'ice-cream' scene than so many scenes of Hannah-Booth that has been fed to us. Remember that moment when Booth comes to the crime scene with Tessa leaving the date on middle, and tells Tessa that he will make it up...and goes 'ice-cream?' It was a nice scene. Believe me, had Hannah been in this place, it would have been suggestive looks...followed by an explicit bedroom scene. Even the kiss that Tessa-Booth shared was apt for the scene. With Hannah....one of them would have been the ice-cream🤢

But the biggest difference between then and now is that he wasn't in love with Brennan then. He was intrigued by her and maybe moving towards love, but not there yet. And she hadn't shot him down so unequivocally as she has recently. The difference now is that Brennan has told him that nothing can happen between them because she is not ready (even if in reality she is just scared). So for him, he has to make a choice - continue on as before or move on. So while I agree that the H/B relationship is primarily based on sex, even though Booth seems to think he loves her...the reason he now "chooses" Hannah over Brennan may have more to do with the fact that he loves B and is hurt/upset because he feels nothing can happen between them. He wants to maintain that *slight* personal distance just so he can steel himself to move on.

Vas, again....it's not that he CHOOSES to be with Hannah over Brennan....it's the WAY that relationship is being shown....it's DAMN superficial and forced.....the IDEA of it that HH and co. keep on repeating a billion times....I understand that....the IDEA that Booth is trying to move on after getting shot down or whatever....but the EXECUTION is PATHETIC....REALLY pathetic....it's just not working....AT ALL.....The only scenes I've managed to not dislike Hannah in are the ones when Brennan tells her about the phone that she should gift to Booth....that was a good scene....but that's about it.....otherwise this character is like EPIC FAIL......and I repeat, Sully was a BILLION times better than her.

@Mel - TESSA! That's her name 😆...thanks, lol.

.I don't think they are trying to convince us to accept Hannah as the love of Booth's life; I think they are trying to show a desperate Booth trying and failing to move on, and so they need to amplify the superficial and not let us get emotionally attached to Hannah.

And yet in EVERY single interview, all we hear are HH, DB, ED all talking about what a greatttttttttt character Hannah is....so do they REALLY know what they are doing with her?? I don't think so....they are totally CLUELESS about how miserably they've failed execution wise with this character....it's not even about us possibly liking Hannah and ever thinking "oh it's going to be Booth-Hannah ultimately"....no chance of that anyways....no, atleast don't make us lose respect for Booth as a character to start showing HIM as being that superficial and forced in all his scenes with Hannah too....it's suchhhh a chore to watch most Bones epis this season cuz of this very reason....the FORCED quality.....it's damn awkward anytime Hannah's in a scene.

*Edit: I'm also not budging from my POV.....btw how many epis have you watched of season 6 so far, hmmm?
