Subject: He must have learned from the mistakes of the Bones people and the backlash from the Bones fans. Inside

I just can't help but compare Castle to Bones. This Castle season finale is how Bones SHOULD have been done. After waiting for so long for a couple to come together, we want to see it happen. We do NOT want to be told that we were fooled and that it already happened in Offscreenville and we missed it. What a cruel joke the Bones producers/writers played on us! And then to skip ahead several months into an established relationship is just like putting salt in the fresh wounds. We were ripped off in Bones!

[> [> [> I've stopped watching Bones and don't miss it. It still keeps recording and I pop in when there's nothing else to watch. It really is too bad as the show was so quirky, and the romance had such promise. The old, "I'm pregnant and you're the father" bit is about as exciting as taking the garbage to the top of the driveway for pickup. -- Cece...sad for the hard core Bones fans. Glad I put my money on Castle., 21:10:41 05/09/12 Wed [1]

[> [> [> [> I still watch Bones. It's still funny. I still enjoy the characters. The stories are still interesting. I just really feel ripped off that we got zero romance. We went from nothing to an established ho-hum relationship overnight. Yawn. -- JJ (Ronda)--they handled the Bones ship so well during previous seasons it was surprising they messed it up so badly., 21:39:27 05/09/12 Wed [1]

[> [> [> [> [> I agree totally. I still watch but at times it is just a snooze. We were so cheated. -- Hope, 22:52:58 05/09/12 Wed [1]

[> [> [> [> [> [> I stopped watching Bones cold turkey after the, "i'm pregnant and your the father" fiasco. I felt ripped off. I want to live vicariously through my favorite characters. I see no romance between a hot guy and a pregnant chick. Been there....wasnt pretty. LOL -- TF...hope that made sense. LOL, 23:06:17 05/09/12 Wed [1]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> I was shocked that they handled the pregnancy like that, particularly as they'd been so sensitive in building up the warmth and sexual tension. I don't hate Bones. I just keep forgetting about it. Actually, I'm going to miss House and Desperate Housewives, and I'm thanking my lucky stars for having Castle, Smash, and Person of Interest to watch. I still like Grey's Anatomy too. -- Cece, 23:21:09 05/09/12 Wed [1]

[> [> [> To cut the writers of Bones a little slack - it didn't help that the lead got pregnant when she did and they couldn't do much while the show was on Hiatus- but a few flashback moments might have been the solution before she blurted out the pregnancy- or maybe the fans can rally and DEMAND flashback scenes to fill in the gaps- LOL - you know like JAG did with 4% solution - -- chris k, 11:11:25 05/10/12 Thu [1]

[> [> [> [> I know that there was a lot of contraversy about the Paraguay arc, but it did provide Mac with a reason for looking pregnant. I'm sure Bones could have done something, particularly as they use quirky humour in their writing. Lots of shows have had to handle pregnancy. But as you said, to destroy a romantic build up in one or two sentences, was a horrible decision. What about filming hot, romantic scenes anyway, when she was first pregnant, and then fudge the time line? -- Cece, 11:33:14 05/10/12 Thu [1]

[> [> [> [> [> Yeah I actually think it's neat that for once, they weren't going to try to gloss over the actress' pregnancy, but rather use it. What I don't like is a) that we never got to see their beginning (yes I feel cheated!), and b) now that they have the baby, they lost all steam! They're sweet but... boring! I still watch, and it's still a good show, but it's ... lacking. -- Colie, 12:59:51 05/10/12 Thu [1]
