qosI wish the writers and producers would let drama and comedy happen in accordance with established characterization, not in defiance of it.
I hate it when producers break up a good couple in order to create drama. Bad enough that they did what they did to Zach! Breaking up a lovely, fun, so-well-matched couple like Angela and Hodgens is more gratuitous "shaking things up".
Also, what's with Cam? Sleeping with the gorgeous man with the even more gorgeous voice I totally get. Dragging a new employee into her confession with Angela is totally unprofessional -- not to mention grounds for a lawsuit by Clark, which I would think she of all people would 'get'.
On the other hand, I enjoyed the London storylines and the interaction between Bones and Booth and their counterparts. The second murder was a bit far-fetched, but it did produce some good drama.
Booth's lack of adaptability really bugged me, however. This man was supposedly a Ranger (right?) and an effective sniper. I have a hard time believing he's the kind of guy to throw tantrums in the middle of a city street because he can't adapt to driving on the other side of the road.
