Why Nigel? WHY?

I've already told you guys that I am a big fan of Bones. HUGE fan. 

Love, love, love the show for everything that it is.

Do you guys mind if I just rant a little bit? 

(SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) (SPOILER ALERT!!!!)

If you haven't seen The Hole in the Heart and you watch Bones, skip until you see "END BONES TALK!"




Why the hell did you kill Mr. Nigel Murray??????

Of all the interns to kill off, it should have been Clark. He's too uptight and closed up for the group. He kind of drags down everything when he insists everybody just keep the conversations to polite professionalism. I mean, as far as character growth he might as well have a big target on his back screaming, "TAKE ME! I DON'T BELONG HERE ANYWAY BECAUSE I AM INCAPABLE OF GROWING AS A PERSON!"

But no. They kill off Mr. Vincent Nigel Murray, the British intern/fountain of knowledge in the way of useless factoids. The one who won a whole lot of money on Jeopardy, became addicted to drugs and alcohol while spending all of it, and wound up confessing things for his twelve steps of recovery. Such as telling people he slept with Angela, Cam, and Bones. (You do dumb things when you're drunk out of your mind! And if those are the worst things he'd ever done...he was a really good person.)  And right after the whole T-Rex thing???

My very first GIF posting!

Talk about cruel and unusual! He was in his prime! He didn't even get to do his presentation at the conference! It was just...wrong.
So wrong. 

And what happened with Bones and Booth?

Recap: she crawled into bed with him in the middle of the night, crying because Vincent died and she thought he thought she hated him! 

And then when she's describing to Angela what she did...she gives this smile. 

Every woman knows this smile. This is the smile of someone who is about to share the facts about sleeping with the man she's been in love with for six years when he tried to comfort her!

AND THEN IT JUST CUTS OFF TO ANOTHER SCENE!

Alright, so Jack interrupts first and Angela screams at him to get the hell out, and THEN it cuts off to another scene! And it NEVER GOES BACK TO THEIR DISCUSSION! 

Now, my Bones buddy at work insists that the smile, the way they looked at each other afterwards, and their interactions through the rest of the episode clearly indicate that something definitely happened in that bed. I didn't see it. I admit, I was extremely distracted because I was still upset over the cold, calculated, and yet accidental murder of my favorite intern, so I wasn't really picking up on cues like subtle looks and what not. 

I'm not one hundred percent certain that something happened.

But I'm pretty sure that her smile indicated something way more than just sleeping took place in that bed.

The only way to be certain is to watch again, but to keep myself from becoming emotionally detached from the rest of the characters, I'll have to skip until after the jerkface sniper man murders Vincent Nigel Murray. Otherwise I'm going to be exactly where I was before, stewing over his murder and not concentrating on other important aspects of the episode.

END BONES TALK!

Yesterday I wound up with a strong craving for fried chicken, so for dinner Padawan and I had fried chicken. And you know what? It was delicious!

Even more delicious because I wanted it all day, but I had to wait. Absence makes the heart grow fonder applies to far more than just human relationships.

That...pretty much concludes this post.

  1. Well now.. I wish I hadn't read this. We DVR Bones and watch on Saturday nights. Well, I won't tell the wife what you just said so she will be just as shocked and saddened. I must agree, that just wasn't fair. Nigel was such an entertaining character.

  2. I said SPOILER ALERT!!!!

    I didn't mean to ruin it for you! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'M SO SORRY!

    I don't know what I'm talking about. Any mention of Bones and Booth is pure speculation!

    God. I should just beat myself with a stick for this. I should have made a whole paragraph of SPOILER ALERT!!!!

  3. I am totally addicted to Bones and I saw the smile...it's a smile that says something happened but knowing Bones and her inability to recreate regular social facial expression and how she takes everything differently it could have just been that he held her and confessed he still cared for her...or maybe a kiss. I do not think they slept together. Their characters need somewhere to go, to grow into, and once they are "together" all that sexual tension and wishing they would get together falls away. It's too risky to do that to them unless they know they aren't going to continue to be picked up as a show and want to give the fans what they want before ending. (Which I pray isn't what is happening).

    I thought it was an amazing episode but I cried like a freaking baby, and I knew from the start that it was going to be Mr. Nigel Murray. You could tell in the way they were endearing him to the viewers, giving him more time, etc...I wasn't happy about it either. His death speach had me crying my eyes out...so sad. Very well done though. Great show!!

  4. Jewels, rest assured they will go on. Bones had been renewed for a 7th season through Fox. But it's been confirmed that Emily is actually pregnant in the real world. How can they have a seventh season filmed with an inexplicably pregnant Bones?

    They have to work that into the story.

    Which makes me think if they didn't sleep together in every sense of the phrase in 22, then they're going to in the Season Finale because they can't have Bones pregnant for no reason! It wouldn't make sense.

    I've always loved Nigel Murray. Not as much as Zack, but almost as much. I was very shocked to see him go. But I'm really relieved it wasn't Angela or Jack.

    And yes, I cried. It was so sudden when he died. I expected a LITTLE more time! But then...BAM! And he was begging to stay because he loved it there! And Bones...she cried! You don't get to see her cry very often. She's so compartmentalized it's weird to see her break down.

  5. This is the pinkest blog I have ever seen.

  6. I tried to watch Bones. But I couldn't get past the creepy bones of the week stories. I hear things about it, like you eventually get to know the characters and Bones and Angel get together and stuff, but I enjoy my serialized stories like Lost and, well, Angel.

  7. Tony, thank you for stopping in! It is very pink, isn't it? I think I might keep this design for a while. But it used to be a lot MORE pink, but the guys complained that it was painful to look at...so I had to dim it down a bit. I'm a little proud of this creation, though.

    Brent, Bones and Booth have NOT gotten together. Oh, there were a few "almost" moments when you though, "YES! GO FOR IT! KISS HER!" But...it didn't happen. However, it's totally about to!

    Bones IS serialized...in the story. Not in the murders (except the Gravedigger, The Shooter, Gormagon, and Epps), but in the actual lives of the characters, which is the far bigger part of the show.

  8. I get the feeling there were spoilers alerts in the post.

    I've never seen the show, so I might as well have been reading about robot squids hunting tacos with legs and fur on an alien planet for all the sense it made to me. It was still amusing to read though.

  9. I'm not averse to giving it another try. I do have Netflix, as you may have heard.

    I must have watched the first ten episodes or so. How long until I should care enough to be addicted?

    And I swear I read something somewhere about Bones and Booth getting in on. Sorry about my misperception.

  10. Bryan, I had to go back and change it because the ONE spoiler alert wasn't enough to protect people. So I did a whole bunch of them.

    You haven't watched it? Alright, go to your netflix, and watch the first episode. See if that intrigues you at all.

    Brent, you should try it again. The first time I saw it I wasn't very interested. Then a couple of years later I happened to catch an episode in season four and it was interesting, so I went back and watched all of season one. And I'm not sure where I got addicted at. I just...couldn't stop.

    The consensus is that they slept together, they're just not telling anyone yet. But they aren't together. But it will all change in next weeks episode!

  11. Chanel, I would have read your post if there had a big warning that read: REV!!! DON'T READ THIS! AND FOR GAWDS SAKES DON'T TELL YOUR WIFE WHAT IT SAYS!!!

    I didn't tell her until afterwards that i read a spoiler. It was sad. I'll miss Mr. Nigel Murray. He was fun and annoying and I too, have a thing for trivia. It's a defense mechanism.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Well if I called you out personally OF COURSE you'd have read it. You would have been overcome with curiosity. What could be so awful Chanel doesn't want me to read it? I said SPOILER so I wouldn't have to ruin it for anyone who hadn't seen it! You watched it and you knew what was going to happen! I feel like I took away the surprise.

    Did your wife cry? I cried. I loved Vincent Nigel Murray. Like I said, second only to Zack in the world of Squinterns.

  13. Bones is a chick? I thought the guy from Buffy was Bones.

    As you can guess, I do not watch that show, but please keep us updated on Bones and Booth did-they-screw drama.

    Probably just a back rub and cuddling. Lame.

  14. I was no big deal. I knew who, but not how or when. I'm glad Booth got that jer*off in the end. She didn't cry. She's not a sniffler. And she watches The Depressed Women's Channel all the time so she has practice. You know which one I mean..

  15. I feel like I have just gazed into a "friends" cancellation grief party. I cannot watch "Bones" or "Angel" for that matter. I still blame David Boreintheass for getting "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" nixed. yes...I...I...watched Buffy...The wife made me do it!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Doug, I really hope not. It would be very sad if nothing happened after six years of being strung along!

    Darev, he didn't kill him. It makes me feel like he's going to be like Hannibal and torment him from the cell they lock him up in until he escapes. And are you talking about that channel that always has some woman being beaten by a husband or boyfriend? I don't watch that channel. Movies for women should be about women being beaten.

    Scott, I blame David Boreintheass for cheating on his very pregnant wife like a douchebag...seriously, I nearly stopped watching because of it. You watched Buffy? Haha. My whole family loved it! But you should, you know, try to watch Bones. From the very beginning. Just to see how awesome it is. If you must, you can say your wife made you watch it.
