I don't see the logic: she was deceived by Colin (the metro chief), so why did she kill the blind man??

Hmm, I wonder if I was the only one who immediately realized that Switz was thinking about making Daisy an offer?

There are two options: either he would have proposed, or he would have run off into the sunset and we would not have seen the character.
Since the book has not been published yet, the latter is less likely.

Well, after this, Sweets will need to turn to another Sweets. Seeing a person die with your own eyes is not the same as helping with a murder investigation, and it's not going to work to distance yourself from all emotions.

Stokely from the movie "Faculty" is already so grown up, awesome...

What an irony that the gorgeous couple Booth and Brennan are not even getting ready yet, the equally gorgeous couple Angela and Hodgins broke up over a trifle, and the most ridiculous couple in the entire series, Sweets and Daisy, are going to get married...
The writers of Bones definitely know how to prescribe romance and sex, or they, like Brennan, write professional details, and most importantly added after the fact?

Sweets and Daisy are a very sweet couple :) I'm happy for them too.
I feel sorry for the guy from the subway, and for the murdered one too.

Definitely the best line in the episode!

Honestly, I was worried about Daisy and Sweets... What a sweet moment at the end))

It became VERY interesting to see what kind of movements there are on page 187))0)

It seems to me that Sweets and Daisy are very suitable for each other. They seem to be giving each other a resource that is missing - Sweets is very confident next to Daisy and seems to understand what he is doing (although in reality no one ever understands), and Daisy seems to completely forget that she constantly needs someone else's validation and calms down. I like that there is no looming drama in their relationship, no one is worried, and the biggest problem was solved in the framework of that episode about the wedding dress.

I was more pleased with Daisy's reaction. Adequate. Without screeching, hyperbolized hysterical joy. Somehow she said yes very correctly.

And it's not page 187 that worries me, it's Hodgens and his thing. If you're an underdog, here's ay min)))

It's an incredible pity for the kid who found out that he was cured of leukemia, and then he died from such a stupid combination of circumstances, like a failed pipe in the subway and a collision of water with a train...having failed to do anything planned by him after his illness. Lance's feelings are quite clear.

It's so sweet that all of Brennan's colleagues read her books, well, almost everyone except Cam)
Such an invisible level of support.

But interestingly, Brennan is a successful writer, her books sell huge copies, but at the same time she does not know how to communicate with people, she is very clumsy in a social environment. She often rejects psychology, but in order to create a complete image of a book hero, many social aspects of people need to be understood. How does Bren assemble an image, develop the characters of her books, if she is so antisocial?

@andreyck: so Bren seemed to be crucifying herself in the first and second season, that everything was on her own. So it's amazing how such a super writer turned out.

@Andrea_zuz: I'll be stuffy, but even describing the character of people I know is not so easy, and making an image of a bookish Persian with his emotions, character, reactions to certain events, situations requires a certain knowledge of the psychology of behavior. Last season, in an episode about monkey poo and a car salesman, Sweets offered a Dice game- Lance shows emotion, Dice guesses. How many emotions did Bones guess? Right. Not a single one. Then how does she describe her colleagues? Especially since Bren herself says throughout the series that she understands bones, but not people. Therefore, the question remains open.: how does she write books, and even a few a year, and they're all in the top of the bestsellers? Does he rewrite the solved cases, mixing them up? In order to describe the materials of criminal cases concisely and easily, arousing and retaining the long-term interest of readers, you also need to have some knowledge in the literature.
I'm even a little offended that the creators of the series are so frivolous about the profession of a writer. It's not easy to create a good book.

@Olglem: in general, I think that her book would not look like an interesting detective story with adventures that the reader would like. And something like a very boring serious scientific work, where there are only terms and dry facts.

@Nanneke: That's what I'm talking about. And the screenwriters write that Bren publishes books that are in the top 100 bestsellers. And from the very beginning of the series. So the logical question is, how does she create them? At the same time, the scriptwriters emphasized that Bren lives at work, in addition to investigations, she also has work in the vault, different expeditions, where the time for the book comes from. Riddle. But the most interesting thing is that Bren keeps saying that she doesn't understand psychology or people, how does she create her characters? Without psychology and some experience of communicating with people, you can't create a full-fledged character, it will be cardboard, and cardboard won't hold the reader for long.

@Olglem: Well, I've always taken this information as meaning that she's a very successful and well-known person. Not as a writer, but in principle. I've never really focused on it. Like, there's no need for money or something. And that she does what she wants to do. Still, she's more of a scientist.

Although in the same Castle, writing is revealed as his main feature. And that's why he's completely different.

In short, I hadn't really thought about looking at her from that angle before.

@Nanneke: it saddens me that the profession of a writer is presented as "what's there to write, it's simple." Although it is a herculean task, starting from the idea and outline of the manuscript and ending with edits from the publisher. Bren is a brilliant scientist, but her characteristics as a writer are very controversial.

@Olglem: Did you know that Katie Reich, who wrote books about Brennan, created her image from herself? She is also a well-known anthropologist, and many of the events of her life are reflected in books.
And there is a possibility that she also denies psychology, like Bones, but she was able to write these books, and interested you in her characters.

@SofieCh: In Reich's books, her character is a single mother and a former alcoholic. This is just for reference. Temperance Brennan from the series and from Reich's books are two different characters, the events of the series are far from the content of her books. Reich appears as the author of the idea and consultant, even in the credits, everything else is from the creators of the show. As far as I know, Reich's books have never been bestsellers. And yes, without knowledge of the basics of psychology and some life experience, it is almost impossible to create suitable, interesting characters. Here the creators of the series lied a lot, belittling the profession of a writer. If in doubt, you can use my recommendation above, try to at least just give a detailed description to people from your environment, describe their character, behavior, reactions to certain events, etc., I guarantee it's really not easy.

@Olglem: There is absolutely no difficulty for me to describe others as you advise. But I study psychology and have a high level of empathy.

On the contrary, it's always surprising to me that Bones repeats too often that he "hates psychology," but loves anthropology, which is essentially the study of patterns of human behavior under certain living conditions.

I see here a defense mechanism due to the rejection of her interests by her peers and abandonment by her parents and brother. But in fact, she's doing quite well with empathy - she gets into victims (even cries about them periodically), knows how to find a common language with children, helps people (the same bridge construction, scholarship, etc.). Therefore, in books she can reveal her vulnerable side in this way. I don't think anyone on the show devalues writing.

@Olglem: As for bestsellers, I didn't mean the "official sales status", it's a bit difficult to find such information. And the fact that she has a lot of books, they are sold and translated into 30 languages, they made a TV series based on them. So it's not just some books lying around.
Plus, Reich is also a producer on the series, and I think if she didn't like the image of Brennan, she would have said so. Moreover, it is always emphasized that she is her prototype.

@SofieCh: I mean, from Reich's books, they took only the name of the heroine and her profession, a forensic anthropologist, everything else is due to the showrunners of the series. In the book and in the TV series, these are different heroines, even by age. And there are no characters from the series in the book. I'm convinced that Reich is a very good psychologist, judging by the off-screen events.
Yes, Bren has empathy, it can be seen from the first episodes, but there are also serious "punctures" in her behavior with people, in some cases she cannot determine the emotions of those with whom she communicates. If Bren's books got better with the development and growth of Bren herself, it would be more logical. And yes, in the series, unfortunately, the profession of a writer is shown as something easy and simple, like we write two bestsellers a year in our free time.
