Are you there now Booth?
Aug. 21st, 2011 10:39 pmI am not impressed with the new improved(sic) posting box when it comes to long and complicated entries, but I shall endeavour to post my next installment of Booth for All Seasons, still in Season 4.
We have hit a bit of a trough with the next three episodes: The Princess and the Pear, The Bones That Foam and The Salt in the Wounds because they add very little new to our picture of the many facets of Booth and in many ways go over old territory. So I shall endeavour to find something which has been cast aside, or even forgotten in Season 4, namely, that Booth is a very intelligent guy. Too often in this season, he has been reduced to the muscle with the transport and the inappropriate comment at the scene of the crime. He has had his role narrowed even in the interrogation room thanks to the 'assistance' ofAgent Dr Sweets and frequently the Jeffersonian crew not only find the hard evidence, but solve the crime too and Booth is left to flourish the handcuffs or pick up the tab.
( You should stop using cartoons as a scientific reference point. )
So there we are. The focus was largely elsewhere in these three episodes with Agent Perotta and Sweets getting a fair amount of screen time while we also had to deal with the personal foibles of Mr Nigel-Murray and Mr Fisher along with the introduction of Mr Vaziri and the end of Angela's relationship with Roxie. Not much room for Booth's backstory in there and we don't fare much better in the next three episodes either! Short entries are good too.
