Mama No Life October 31, 2015 Share October 31, 2015 Clearly if they were going to show her getting together with a man longterm* they were going to have to fix all that. So now she's mildly argumentative and blithely clueless about the world and wears sweet little dresses and her relationship with her husband looks to me like Booth paternally mentoring the special needs child he married with as little physical contact as possible and lots of dispassionate discussion about off-screen sex. This may be the most spot-on thing I have ever read on a message board. 2 Link to comment
Panopticon October 31, 2015 Share October 31, 2015 *they made it a running joke that the only men she could get were psychotic or users or both, and they all left quickly. Damn. You're making me wish she'd sailed off into the sunset with Sully... And I'm pretty sure that when I actually watched that episode I flinched every time another character gave her the (perfectly reasonable) advice to go away with him. Or maybe I wish that she could have kept the two men she was dating simultaneously, one for the sex and one for his intellect. (As a woman damaged into being overly correct by her late mother's assertion that she was too popular/wild would do, natch.) Link to comment

Browncoat November 1, 2015 Share November 1, 2015 Well, I watched, and am glad I don't have to watch again. Maybe if I'd been with the show from the beginning, I would have enjoyed it more, but mostly I was bored. And I agree the crossover didn't make sense and wasn't necessary. At least General Howe was continuous between the two shows, I guess? Link to comment
Notwisconsin November 1, 2015 Share November 1, 2015 General Howe died in 1814. The tomb in the capitol was built in the 1820s. This is not cannon in Bones. Link to comment
Julia November 1, 2015 Share November 1, 2015 (edited) General Howe died in England, where he returned when he left his job to explore other opportunities. Which is when and where he became Lord Howe. The history in Sleepy Hollow is seriously cracked. Edited November 1, 2015 by Julia 1 Link to comment
Lillybee November 2, 2015 Share November 2, 2015 I was wishing that the X-Files was still around. A cross over between the X-Files and Sleepy Hollow is something I could get behind. Link to comment
Stallion12 March 25, 2017 Share March 25, 2017 Glad I'm not the only one to find the Bones episode boring. I only watch sleepy hollow, but I caught the crossover and almost fell asleep during the bones half. Link to comment
