3.3 - DEATH IN THE SADDLE 

So according to Seelie Booth, if you are into BDSM or any fetish then your sex life is a lie and bad and you can't connect?  🙄


edit: ok, just rewatched and  he did say two people but did he have to insult people's sex lives just to push a romantic storyline? i don't think so.

Just found your Bones reactions last month and I’m loving them (just finished this episode)! I was a massive Buffy/AtS fan back in the late 90s/early 00s, but I never watched Bones when it aired… mainly because I couldn’t see David as anyone other than Angel (so I totally get the initial weirdness of seeing him play Booth). As a result I didn’t watch DB in anything at all for 17 years… but in 2021, after recommendations from friends, I decided to give his shows a try. I watched SEAL Team first (which is an awesome show - I totally recommend it... it also stars AJ Buckley from Supernatural, who was in Bones 2x20). Then I started Bones in Nov 2021 and just finished a few weeks ago… and I’m kind of obsessed with it now (and kicking myself for not watching back in 2005!). Coming at the show from a 2021/2022 perspective, while I do really like Booth (more than Angel, in fact, which I never thought I’d say :P) his behaviour/attitude towards certain things does bug me, as do some of the overall attitudes/insensitivities portrayed by other characters in the show (like Brennan and her comments about dwarfism, the kink-shaming in this episode etc.). I kind of feel that a lot of these issues are due to the time the show was made and also to the dynamic of the EPs/writers room at that time - mid-2000s US TV was still not all that progressive and people were less PC about/tolerant of different lifestyles. Booth is very much written as a ‘straight-laced, Christian white guy with old-fashioned values’ which I imagine may have reflected the dynamic/views of the showrunners/EPs/writers at the time.

This is an interesting one. While not a favourite episode of mine. What it does do well for me. Is the presentation of balance. Balance is important in good writing. How do we begin to see and understand how others see things differently to how we do. The reflection of opposing opinion, positions and outlooks on societal norms and those who deviate from them, is what's being presented pretty well here. The reflection of the ridicule of others and their life styles, is yet another aspect that is a reality of society. Diversity of attitudes and opinions. The ugly truth in the notion of tolerance in it's entirety. Is that we are required to be tolerant of others, but that also means their intolerance as well. Otherwise we are only tolerant of people if they agree with us. Booth and Bones are representative of the very nature of that discourse. They discuss it. They reflect on it. It's then up to us to draw our own opinion, for at least we have been challenged to think about it. We obviously can draw on the present ideas of religious doctrine. However, some principles and ideas like monogamy, trust, betrayal, dehumanisation, revenge and hypocrisy can be separated out and judged as human values and failings too.
