Morning After Q: Are Booth’s Actions Justified?

Hello, and Happy Tuesday!

I was just telling a friend last night that even after a year and more, it still feels that watching a new Bones ep happens on Thursday night, which would make today Friday. That it’s Tuesday is just…

Again, from TVMouse

Haha, moving on.

Okay, there is a lot to discuss about the premiere. I admit I don’t like much BB angst, so I’m physically and emotionally relieved that there seems to be some resolution to their disconnection. BUT…as I thought about it, I’m still not 100% sure that it makes what Booth is doing acceptable.

I like that in the fandom, I haven’t seen a lot of #TeamBooth or #TeamBrennan or #TeamIHateEveryoneButStillWatchThisShowSometimesButAlwaysCommentOnEverySingleArticleToMakeItKnownThatIDo   haha, which is good.

Having said that, I accepted Booth’s reasoning after the season 8 finale, and could see how those decisions hurt both of them. But after the premiere, I questioned myself, asking… Just because Brennan has now accepted that Booth has a secret, does that in itself, justify his actions?

Thoughts?

PS… I have also noticed a couple of MAJOR spoilers are being tossed around by the cast and the media as ‘common knowledge’ , which happens sometimes when a spoiler has been ‘out there’ long enough—people assume that EVERYONE knows about it by now, so there is no harm in talking about it as if everyone knows. I don’t agree with that reasoning, so again, let’s keep this site and the comments sections spoiler free.  Thank you! 🙂
