If there is one show that I look forward to on Wednesdays it is Criminal Minds. Ha, I tricked you on that one didn't I? But, I have DVR so I also get to watch the other show I look forward to...Bones. For those who don't know, Bones is a show about anthropologist Temperance Brennan (a.k.a. Bones), and Seeley Booth, and of course, everyone else in between. This past season, which ended last Wednesday, was the best so far, in my opinion, because we got to see Bones' father go to prison (for a good reason), and we also got to see Angela Montenegro and Hodgins form a romance. The best was seeing ZZ Top walk Angela down the aisle.

The best thing about the drama, which airs on FOX, is the chemistry between the characters. Bones is all about science; she doesn't believe in God, etc., and approaches everything from a scientifc standpoint, which means she's not very good at human interaction. Booth, is just the opposite. He knows all about people, and nothing (or very little) about science. Angela is the sassy sweetheart, Hodgins is the smart-yet-down-to-Earth-rich-guy, and Zach is just the brainy guy who knows a lot of facts. There is also Temperance's father, who I grew to like this season, and Booth's much-needed therapist who I absolutely love because he gets everything right about Booth and he has an awesome British accent. The only character on the show I don't like is Dr. Camille Saroyan played by Tamara Taylor. I don't like her facial expressions, and I can't stand that she had a relationship with Booth because if Booth were a real person and not a fictional character, I don't think he'd go for her.

What the fans are really waiting for is for Booth and Bones to get together, or kiss, or have sex, or do something other than what they do now which is flirt-under-the-guise-of-work. It is understandable though, to stretch out the inevitable something of Bones and Booth because the drama is fairly new (it's only in its second season) and you can't give the viewers everything they want right up front.
