Bad to the Bone: Mulder and Scully, Booth and Bones
This is my new Mulder and Scully, and I am loving and adoring the UST now: I've forgotten how fun it can be. It's just like being 16 again, watching yet another pair of inevitables try very, very hard not to jump the shark (because that causes ratings to peak, then fall drastically, leading to the demise of the show.)
David Boreanaz shows another side of himself - other than the broody, hulking Angel from Buffy) in his happy, quirky depiction of FBI Agent Seeley Booth, who - thankfully - does NOT have a basement office, and is at the very worst, a devout Catholic boy (whom quite a few of us want to rumple.) Emily Deschanel plays Temperance Brennan, who does everything that Scully does, except more rationally and with an almost fanatical devotion to agnosticism: until, of course, the proof shows up. Together, they form quite the forensic puzzle team: loaded with lots of innuendos, lots of moments, lots of UST, and touches of angst here and there. There's a character arc as well, but it fits in well with the overall plot, and doesn't detract from the stories being told when they DO come to the forefront.
The bonus is, Boreanaz and Deschanel really do have good chemistry together: watching them on the show and in real-life interviews produces proof of this. It's fun to watch on-screen, and it looks like they're having a good time on the set as well, which translates to very a very watchable series.Libellés : television
