Something About Two Nickels

I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE ANGELA MONTENEGRO

I wish Dr. Lance Sweets could learn what the word Autism means and realise that his friend, Temperance is SUPER AUTISTIC and that's why she's like that.

Day 9: 4 Hodgela scenes that made you cry

I think perhaps my favorite thing about this couple is that they were completely unplanned at the start of the series. TJ and Michaela had such chemistry during their scenes together in season 1, that the producers and writers had no choice but to take notice. It wasn’t always smooth sailing for these two. And we even had to endure a broken up Hodgela for a couple years. It could have been painful, but I think they both grew into the people they needed to be in order to finally achieve their happily ever ever. Angela and Hodgins have been a joy to watch evolve and grow more and more in love with each passing season. One of my all-time favorite moments (not pictured) is when Hodgins made it possible for Angela to pursue her dream of living and working in Paris. The plans were set, and they had one foot out the door. But during their last case at the Jeffersonian, Angela witnesses Hodgins’ excitement as he operates a piece of machinery. And he literally tells the machine that he will miss it. The scene cuts to Angela just staring at her husband. And later, she informs him that they have to stay in D.C. Hodgins’ life is at the Jeffersonian. And she cannot take away his dream just to fulfill her own. Even if he would willingly bend the world to make her happy. “And-and I’m okay with it. As long as I’m with you.” Additionally, the paralysis arc was some of TJ and Michaela’s most compelling work to date. Like Booth and Brennan, Hodgins and Angela have proven time and time again that they are solid. Though they nearly crumbled when Hodgins spiraled into a dark and hopeless state after learning that he may never walk again. Angela refused to give up on her husband and the life they share. And she helped him find his way out of the darkness. Now they are thriving once more. And I couldn’t be happier. They deserve the world, and more. Angela is Hodgins’ carburetor for life. 

zack addy might be absent from the later seasons but his impact is so huge like…

his impact on hodgins’ perception of friendships. hodgins became more closed off for a while after zack left, but later remembered the value of finding joy in your work and establishing trusting connections with other people - and zack was the person who introduced him to that

honestly zack brought hodgins out of his angry, distrusting shell so much, he’s probably part of the reason that hodgins became open and happy enough to get into a relationship with angela <3

the way booth went from deeply disliking zack to being very understanding of the "squints" in later seasons. he didn’t do good by zack, but he massively changed after.

the lab never having a single, consistent intern again… constant references to zack as the best intern that no one can live up to

brennan learning that logic isn’t the be all & end all, and that emotion can have its place, due to zack’s "logical" justifications for his actions (she talks about this in the season 4 opening)

cam seriously changed a lot after zack had to leave… it really hit her hard for a long time. she clearly was beating herself up about not seeing the signs.

at the same time, it oddly helped cam bond more with the rest of the team. they all grew a lot closer, her included.

zack was only consistently in the show for 3 seasons, just 1/4 of the show’s run, but he’s so central to the show even years after he left :(

there’s a big difference between “i’m sad because a character i was emotionally invested in was killed off” and “this character’s death served no purpose, was used for shock value, and is the product of bad writing and i’m upset about that”

feeling depressed? rewatch that show from the 2000s that you know and love that has several seasons and sooo many episodes.

I don’t watch Bones but my roommate’s been binging it so I got the gist of it
