I Get Knocked Down, But I Get Up Again

(Originally posted July 14, 2013.)

This might be late, but it’s better than never, right?

Con Man in the Meth Lab is an episode that gives me a surprising amount of feelings, given how I don’t typically consider it among my favourites. (I don’t hate it, not at all, I just don’t think of it immediately.)

The thing is, I learned from a very young age how to defend unpopular opinions. (I attribute it to my parents’ jobs when I was growing up, if I’m being honest.) As a result, I kind of like to stick up for Brennan here, despite how polarizing her actions are.

Nonetheless, the real meat of this episode is Booth, and any episode that allows us to delve deeper into his background and his psyche is A+ in my books. You guys know how much I love the Brennan Family Drama, but Booth’s family is just as interesting — the only caveat is that we don’t know nearly as much about his as we do hers.

So, get your birthday cake or your Scotch, and embrace the Awkward that is this chapter.

Grandfathers Have No Time For Bullshit, Ever.

Imagine that, I managed to write a recap this week after all! (Barely.)

I thought I’d take it easy this week, so I decided to revisit everyone’s favourite suspendered, quippy grandpa, Hank Booth. Because he is delightful, and if you don’t agree, then there is nothing for you here. He is adorable, full stop.

You guys know how much I love me some family visits on this show, and this one is especially remarkable, because we know so little about Booth’s family. Moreover, we so rarely get to hear anything good about Booth’s family, that it’s a nice change to watch one of the few bright lights in that family tree here.

So, here are some ramblings about Foot in the Foreclosure for your viewing pleasure today. (I’m on a season 5 kick for some reason.)

Voilà!
