Brennan is in character in that scene but she &amp; the lap dancer can&#39;t force Booth to get a lap dance if he really doesn&#39;t want to. So either he wants it or he gives up, both are very OOC.<BR/>So IMHO in a situation like this (alone or not) Booth would never agree to get the lap dance but the WRITERS make him agree/gives up, the WRITERS make Booth act OOC.Delnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4177382808795228512.post-79318110701054303732008-12-03T20:50:00.000-05:002008-12-03T20:50:00.000-05:00No offense but you need to reread the sides. Booth says to Brennan that he doesn't want her there, he wants her to leave, as the situation is too werid and she insists in staying. Not only that she insists that she pays for it. To which Booth protests. This fact from the sides, not speculation just to Booth bash. <BR/><BR/>Brennan doubting Booth, thinking him a loser the biggest OOC moment yet from Brennan- she lost a lot of respect in the eyes of a lot of fans in that epi.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4177382808795228512.post-85799823471941354132008-12-03T16:51:00.000-05:002008-12-03T16:51:00.000-05:00I personally don&#39;t care if they have sex with other persons as long as it is in character, consistent &amp; not forced or soapy.

Because if he really doesn&#39;t want it, none of these women can&#39;t force this big man. &amp; he refuses, doesn&#39;t give up, to talk about sex with her because he finds it is weird, uncomfortable &amp; inappropriate. Now, he agrees to get a lap dance (crappy sex) in front of the woman he is supposed to be so in love with ? Which I find is crappy, &amp; way more weird, uncomfortable &amp; inappropriate than just talk(ing ?) about sex with her.<BR/>I guess there are other ways more appropriated, meaningful, profound, intelligent to get a jealous Brennan.<BR/>Just my POV. :)Delnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4177382808795228512.post-31935377902151603722008-12-03T11:21:00.000-05:002008-12-03T11:21:00.000-05:00Oh, and by the way ... if our thinking is correct, then this episode ("The Bones That Foam") could well be the one that DB directs ... that might give some more info as to why there's a lap dancing scene in there :)Louisenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4177382808795228512.post-74418138155547715942008-12-03T11:18:00.000-05:002008-12-03T11:18:00.000-05:00I don't think it's out of character, because it's not a character-driven 'story' - it's just a silly plot device, that TPTB knew would cause a stir when it was 'leaked'.<BR/><BR/>It annoys me in the way that Poetic_line mentions - there's no reason for them to do that to question her ... it's not as if Booth even hides the fact that he's FBI.<BR/><BR/>It will probably be an amusing 5-minute scene, but I really can't see it being anything important as far as the characters go.

I don't think it's OOC. I agree with Kat and Lauren - I can't wait to see a jealous Brennan and it'll be funny to see her thinking it's just anthropology and then becoming really annoyed. From what I can remember from the sides, (I can't check since I'm at school atm) Booth is very uncomfortable about it - which is normal Booth. But after all, he's a guy so of course he's going to be aroused a little - what would be OOC is if he was perfectly fine with it, <I>which he isn't</I>. It's isn't as if he asks for the lapdance but 'Strawberry Lust' as, she calls herself seems keen on it (the guy's HOT after all). It would be more tedious to take her away for questioning, so I reckon they think it's better to get the info from her quickly then move on with the rest on the investigation. <BR/><BR/>But I reckon it's going to be a pretty hilarious scene!Shepnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4177382808795228512.post-45769672457997982452008-12-02T23:22:00.000-05:002008-12-02T23:22:00.000-05:00"it's kind of an odd way to insert some Brennan-jealousy at this point in their relationship"<BR/>Exactly, there must be a lot of appropriated ways to get a jealous Brennan.<BR/>Perrota also is in "The Princess and the pear 4x09"Delnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4177382808795228512.post-62451368852888392402008-12-02T23:16:00.000-05:002008-12-02T23:16:00.000-05:00@Lauren - I&#39;d love to think you are right about Booth knowing he loves her b/c being the humanist that he is you&#39;d think he would have a clue. I think he is in denial about it still at times. Brennan--i have NO idea if she realizes she loves him or not. You know, I just need to hear him tell someone (like her maybe...that&#39;d be nice :) ) or more likely, Sweets. Sweets would likely squeal like the true B/B &#39;shipper he is if Booth confessed his Bones love. I would &lt;3 that scene!<BR/><BR/>@Lily RE: Perotta -- Some sides speculation (spoiler warning)<BR/><BR/><BR/>I don&#39;t think they actually date (which is nicely telling, no?!) but she hits on him pretty hard core. &quot;How often do you work out?&quot; And agree completely with Lauren&#39;s take that it boosts Booth&#39;s ego. It does say that he likes her in the script notes though. The fact that Brennan is clueless at the end of &quot;Ice&quot; during their hockey scene (cannot wait!) and says something like &quot;[Perotta] really likes working with us&quot; tells me that Booth didn&#39;t actually go out with her publicly. Good Booth!<BR/><BR/>OK, fine!

Mom doesn't really watch it regularly, so Dad had to catch her up to speed after the episode.<BR/><BR/>The best comment from him went something like this: "The writers are going to have to do something soon. I mean, two people in that situation working together for so long. It's perfectly natural they'd end up sleeping together."<BR/><BR/>And I can't really put my finger on what makes me crack up over that statement.Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03469633505659176196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4177382808795228512.post-34748671534903542462008-12-02T22:36:00.000-05:002008-12-02T22:36:00.000-05:00Lily, re: Perotta - as far as I can tell, Perotta is around for 2 episodes 'Fire on the Ice' and 'Hero in the Hold,' I believe. As of right now it looks like it's just going to be those two, but I don't know.<BR/><BR/>As for Booth dating Perotta, whether that happens isn't clear from the sides. There's definitely attraction for both of them, that is quite clear, but it doesn't really hint one way or the other if that attraction goes farther.<BR/><BR/>It also, to me anyway, looks kind of like Booth is flirting back because it's nice to have someone outwardly, actually, for-sure paying attention to his attractiveness. Plus Perotta has social skills (unless Brenna, though she's getting better), and she gets his jokes. It's much easier to interact and laugh with someone who gets your jokes!Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00715515559808872292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4177382808795228512.post-69959815790945746322008-12-02T22:32:00.000-05:002008-12-02T22:32:00.000-05:00Re Del: on Brennan being not very jealous and thinking that Booth getting an erection is normal...I absolutely agree that she would inform him that it's perfectly normal to be aroused by the dance, but I can also see her, in the same scene, being jealous once the dancer keeps going after Booth has gotten all the info he needs. She'll not mind the dance until it's no longer necessary.<BR/><BR/>Re Kat "And we THINK he realizes he is in love with Brennan so we can't imagine him displaying attraction to someone else": I think that the audience <I>knows</I> that Booth already realizes. My family taped the 11/26 episode for me, and (shock of a lifetime) my father watched it with me, having seen maybe 1 Bones episode before. I decided to give him a basic rundown of the show so that he could follow what was going on, and when I mentioned that they're pretty much in love with each other, but don't really know it, he said "[Booth] clearly already knows he's in love with her."<BR/><BR/>As for the general lapdance scene itself, I don't see it as terribly OOC, but I do agree with those who say it's kind of an odd way to insert some Brennan-jealousy at this point in their relationship.Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00715515559808872292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4177382808795228512.post-15113751781140476532008-12-02T22:27:00.000-05:002008-12-02T22:27:00.000-05:00That is soo true Kat but its just most people want Booth &amp; Bren to hook up and they get upset when they see Booth doing something like that because they think he only should be with Bren. But i guess it is time to see Bren jealous. Since this episode is after we see Agent Perotta, I guess Agent Perotta wouldn&#39;t last long. Does anyone no if Booth actually dates her? If so for how many episodes?lilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4177382808795228512.post-76234395705031249952008-12-02T21:58:00.000-05:002008-12-02T21:58:00.000-05:00Hmm, I don't think Bones shies away from sex jokes. The episode with the Horsey Play being a prime example but even this season's 'Man in the Outhouse' with Bren talking about the deep sea guy being able to hold his breath for 3 minutes. <BR/><BR/>Bottom line IMO is that a lot of us idealize Booth as being perfect--granted the character is truly as close as you can get to perfection! And we THINK he realizes he is in love with Brennan so we can't imagine him displaying attraction to someone else. Even a fleeting attraction. Just my take on it.<BR/>Bones has gotten a lot of action in the past 2 years though: Sully, the two guys she was dating at the same time, British guy, even Booth-lite (just a kiss) while Booth has been shown with NO ONE since Cam??
