of the power and agility which has since faded away
It's a very sensitive point with Booth, aging. Not the first or last time Brennan points it out in a matter of fact manner and Booth obsess about it.
As yet, Sweets is not the irritant he becomes later.
I think I stepped up on the soap box in your last Booth for all seasons installment, so I'll try and be a big person and not bash Sweets too much this time...
Oh! You're on his side. Why don't you go play Voltron with him.
In this instance I think Brennan and Sweets share a common experience, that they were both "nerds" in high school and Sweets could better understand Brennan's experience with Brainy Smurf and Smurfette. But Booth did get it in the end, but that's the grown up Booth, the Booth that is Brennan's partner and has evolved because of it (as has she).
Whether the gun remark is related to the fact he has a cowboy hat or the general idea of role play isn't clear.
I've always thought it was the general idea of role play, hadn't even considered the cowboy hat reason. Hmm... (This is where I don't comment on Sweets and his textbooks ways that imply his lack of experience.)
he then rescues a little boy rather than catching Gormogon
The rational thing to do would of course be to go after Gormogon to try and catch him to avoid future loss of lives, but the human thing to do is to save the boy. Maybe that's why we are able to overlook Booth's boorish side - you're right he is boorish! - because he is a good person. He let's Russ say goodbye to his girls and pulls some strings.
Booth is honing his skills as a marksman to make sure Gormogon does not escape again.
I always saw that as Booth's way to relax after a "busy day at the office". Interesting point. Thanks for all your interesting points here.
