I'm being patient for the payoff. But then again, I like AUs.
Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

“Not dead yet!”
Wow.
That ending was a hell of a payoff.
I'm good with the fractured nature of it because it makes sense given the circumstances. And the end kept it from being a total Mary Sue situation.

It took me a while to get into it, but once I gave myself over it was quite fun! And great payoff!

It's just starting in my time zone. I'm figuring it's what's going on in Booth's head during brain surgery.
And the hot sex scene that "everyone" wants is out of the way.
Was that Brendan Fraser in the interview room?

The only reason I'm pissed by this episode was the creators saying "they really sleep together, no takebacks, and we deal with the consequences next season". Unless Bones molested Booth for his sperm while he was comatose (which is a tad presumptuous even for her) that makes them lying lier guys. Otherwise, I enjoyed the hell out of it.

I don't think in the real world they've slept together at all.

But they really do sleep together. It doesn't say anything about AUs. And Booth will be reacting to the memories of his wife while he gets his head straight. Chez Neil believes it's a side effect of the anesthesia and his memory will come back fairly quickly, but he's still got those other memories. Though why he doesn't recognize Bones after dreaming about his wife is an interesting twist.
I loved how everyone is in Coma!Verse. It's like the producers said, "OK, it's Bizarro land, who wants to do what?" Sweets sings rather nicely.
Interesting psychological point on how Booth feels about his brother.

I don't think it's any kind of secret that Booth would like to sleep with Bones.
Are you guys suggesting that this was anything more than a dream? I just assumed he was casting the story with people from his life.

I was just commenting on the hype for the episode, which made me dread what they they said they were doing. Then it turns out the hype was a lie. I'm GRATEFUL they didn't really go there, but I find it a bit cheesy that they felt the need to hype a lie, and folks who really wanted a B/B are probably gnashing their teeth tonight.

I don't think it's anything more than a dream. But I'm not 100% sure that Booth won't assume it's based on his actual life until he gets his head on straight. So, for Booth at this point, it's all real. He believes Brennan is the woman he's married to and sleeping with.
Except that he doesn't recognize the woman who is presumably his wife in the dream.
I'm confused.
