Why didn't Booth pursue Brennan eariler? Although he was attracted to her from the start, I think he found their differences to be too great to breach - especially in the early going. Was it really going to be worth the effort to pursue this woman who claimed she didn't even believe in love? As time passed, and his feelings for her deepened, his own insecurities came into play. He had always been a little intimidated by her big brain (something he masked by being irritated), and I think he questioned whether he could be good enough for her. Then along comes Sully - who in many ways is just like Booth. Now Booth knows that someone "like him" could be appealing to Brennan. This opens up possibilities while at the same time shutting the door, as she is in a relationship with Sully. I always loved that little bit at the end where we see Booth talking to Hodgins then wallking off dejected. He has a little bit of that "what's wrong with me" attitude to his shoulder slump.
The last scene of Boneless Bride is one of my favourites and frankly, Booth looks so good in that scene I don't know why she didn't just tackle him and strip him right there on the dock; broken heart or no.
He demonstrates to her how constant he really is, but it's a long time before she really gets that.
I had read somewhere that Cocky was airbrushed out for many episodes, before it was allowed to appear. I wonder why the change of heart. No matter.
