What I Want This Season: Bones
TV: Bones
This is one in a series of posts about what I'd like to happen this upcoming season on various returning shows. You can assume that there will be spoilers through last season, but I won't include any spoilers I might or might not have read about the upcoming season. These posts are just about what I WANT.
The team went their separate ways for a year in the season finale, so obviously I want them to all get back together quickly, and I think I'd like a minimum of drama in that process. On this show, I like the relationship arcs but I don't particularly care about the case arcs. I'd be fine with victim-of-the-week while the relationships evolve and progress.
Booth and Brennan: After Booth made himself so vulnerable last season, I'd sort of like him to get a break for a little while. Brennan needs to process everything and work past some of her issues, and ultimately I'd like it to get to a point at which she decides to pursue him and not vice versa.
Angela and Hodgins: I'm glad they're finally married, and I hope they can continue to have interesting plotlines without any "Will they break up?" drama. Specifically, they both have some trust and secrecy issues to work through, and I'd like to see Angela come to terms with Hodgins's wealth and his attitudes toward it.
Sweets and Daisy: Meh. I love Sweets, and Daisy is okay but I'm not particularly invested in this relationship either way. I want Sweets to have interesting things to do but I don't really care whether Daisy's involved.
Cam: I like her but don't necessarily care whether she has huge plotlines or not. I do like the motherhood stuff, so more of that would be fine.
Interns of the week: I like them all, so I hope they continue to rotate.

I agree about Brennan pursuing Booth. He's said that he needs to move on, and hopefully that'll give her enough space to realize that she has feelings for him and wants to be with him.
I thought Angela and Hodgins' breakup was forced and unrealistic the first time, so I'll be really angry if they break them up again. I like them TOGETHER dammit.
I don't particularly care about Wendell or the "depressed" guy, but Arastoo, Clark, and Vincent Nigel-Murray had better stick around. I'd like it if there were a female intern that wasn't Miss Annoying, but whatever.
