Bones (9/17) (Season 5)

Next up: Bones. The next week is going to be amazing: Two of my shows are returning and then, to top it off, the Emmys are on Saturday. I hope both premieres are worth the wait (it's been almost four months)

Where were we?

Last season, Bones and Booth’s relationship got closer and closer. Booth got kidnapped by the gravedigger and Brennan was pretty worried. Later, she decided that she wanted a baby and Booth seemed to be the best possible sperm donor. But then Booth was diagnosed with a brain tumour and he had to get brain surgery right away. In his hallucinatory dreams, he imagined Brennan to be his wife, but when he woke up, he didn’t seem to remember who she was.
Meanwhile, the rest of the team had to cope with the fact that Zack was gone. Several new assistants joined the team, none of them stayed long. Hodgins and Angela broke up and Cam adopted her ex-boyfriend’s orphaned daughter. All of them where shocked when they learned of Booth’s brain tumour, especially Sweets who we learned was abused as a child.

What’s next? (SPOILER ALERT)

• The premiere picks up six weeks after the finale, with Booth trying to recover from brain surgery (but having major problems) and Brennan, who has been away for some time, reuniting.
• Apparently, Booth and Bones are going to kiss in the first episode and he is proclaiming his love for her.
• Angela will sleep with someone we already know, causing trouble with Brennan
• Cindy Lauper guest-stars as a psychic

My Predictions (aka. Wild Guesses)

Bones and Booth will continue their dance and this time they will get closer and closer. There will be one or two kisses but everything will move very, very slowly. In the season finale, one of them might finally confess his/her love. It will probably be Booth.
Jack and Angela will get back together mid-season, probably not dating exclusively for some time because Angela needs her freedom. Cam will get a love interest, perhaps Booth’s brother and will struggle with her adopted daughter. Sweets and his girlfriend will split.
Mid-season, they will decide which assistant/intern they will take. I guess it’s going to be either Nigel-Murray or the blonde one, Wendell.

My wishes for season 5:

• A satisfying solution of the finale
• Booth and Bones should finally take the last step. A relationship can work. There will still be sexual tension and complications. Just go for it, Hart Hanson.
• Angela and Jack should get back together, I love them as a couple.
• More screen-time and a good story for Cam and Sweets.
• Bring back Zack and Wyatt for some episodes. Those episodes are almost always great.
• Finally: Many, many good and interesting cases
