So, someone at twop typed up the Bones breakup scene. Here it is in all of its glory:

Angela: Sweets is actually good at his job.

Jack: I know, right? I mean, did you understand that you were actually mad at Cam?

Angela: Actually, I was mad at her. I mean, you don't have sex with someone and then expect everything to be fine.

Jack: [..]when they're supposed be gone and out of our lives, it's not fine.

Angela: It definitely is not.

Jack: Why? You're divorced. Why weren't you fine with Cam sleeping with him?

Angela: For the same reason you weren't fine with him still being in town.

Jack: But if everything's over with him, why do you care who he sleeps with?

Angela: Why do you care that he's still in town?

Jack: I don't care.

Angela: Obviously you do. If you were 100% certain of me, you wouldn't care. But you do.

Jack: If you were 100% certain you didn't want him, you wouldn't care that Cam slept with him.

Angela: You don't trust me.

Jack: Saying that means you do n't trust me.

Angela: How can two people who don't trust each other get married?

Jack: I thought we did trust each other!

Angela: Yeah, I did too. Two people who don't trust each other shouldn't be with each other at all.

Jack: You really think that?

Angela: Don't you?

Jack: Yeah, I do.. I actually do think that, but.. Oh, my God..

Angela: Yeah..

Jack: I don't know what happened.

Angela: I don't either. But I know it did happen. I'm gonna go.

..she gets up.

Angela: You know, all you had to do was trust me.

Jack: Hey.. You're the one that's leaving.

Angela: You're the one who isn't stopping me.

..and she leaves.

Angela: Obviously you do. If you were 100% certain of me, you wouldn't care. But you do.

Jack: If you were 100% certain you didn't want him, you wouldn't care that Cam slept with him.

And that's one place where it completely falls apart-- because it devolved into a high school/adolescent tunnel-vision sort of mentality. Because real grownups understand that life and love aren't ever about one hundred percent anything.

Oh good grief.

Really? Really? THIS is how we're writing them? After going to such lengths to establish that these are two grownups with many and varied relationships under their belts? Suddenly they sound like characters from Twilight?

I am very disappointed.

It is extremely disappointing. I suppose the writers must think that decent on-going relationships must be boring - even if the people involved are people we like and don't find , you know, boring.

And that's one place where it completely falls apart-- because it devolved into a high school/adolescent tunnel-vision sort of mentality.

Oh, how I hated this. I know there are some people who think like this into their 50s, 60s, wev, but we've already seen Angela and Hodgins be grown-up. There's no take backs, writers! Not without a hell of a lot more laying it out over time. Gah! I dropped this show back in season one, but picked it back up in season two, because it did get better. I make no guarantees for this season.

I must be clueless but I totally missed the hinted-at-whitefont established in last season. Anyhow, I thought the breakup was, as said by others, lame.

If I'm remembering correctly, something was said in the episode where the annoying female PI was hired by Hodgins to track down Angela's husband. The PI had discovered that Angela had changed her name somewhere along the line, and the only other person who knew was a roommate/girlfriend from college... or I may be remembering completely incorrectly. I also remember the episode where Booth and Brennan were off somewhere in the west because a bear had been found with human parts inside it, and Brennan kept shipping evidence back to the Jeffersonian. Zach and Hodgins competed for the attention of the really attractive female delivery person, and finally asked her who'd she'd prefer to go out with. She answered Angela, who was flattered, but turned her down.

I do remember something about the name change from the PI, but I don't remember more than that.

re: the delivery girl, Angela's only reaction was to be flattered, which I figured would be the standard reaction of an openminded woman.

I have been TiVoing things to watch while DH is away this week. The "Three Stories" House is going to be on and I grabbed it and am totally psyched. One of the best-written hours of TV ever, IMO. Yahoo!

If you had to pick the best House, L&O, Bones (or any of the other shows on this thread), what would you pick?

The last two eps of last season's House. Wilson being so worried about House, then House nearly killing himself trying to save Amber for Wilson--it's good stuff.

re: Bones, the ep where she finds out what happened to her mother--I suck at titles. It's first season. And the second season one where we meet her father, the one where the corrupt FBI director is killed. It's directed by David Duchovny.

Edit: "The Woman in Limbo", the season 1 closer, is about Brennan's Mom. "Judas on a Pole," Ep 13 of Season 2, with Brennan's dad.
