Bones and House

All that raw emotional agony that was missing from Supernatural was waiting in Bones and House. I can't stop crying. Amber's dead. Because she cares and Cuddy was always so wrong about her but House and Wilson saw it and she cared and she went to go pick up House and she's dead because she's a good person who ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Because she took flu pills. And Zach was...  first he was burned and I was so scared for him and then he was Gormagon's apprentice and I hate that it made sense and it made me cry that Bones understood. Everything, including the flaw in his logic.

Amber's dead. I can't stop crying. Wilson looked so broken and empty and tired at the end. House's last conversation with Amber was really beautiful. He says that it isn't right and it's not and if they ignore this when they come back next season then this show is dead to me because Wilson loved her, he really loved her. And I loved her.

I'm still crying.

*SOB* OW. That really hurt in ways I had forgotten TV could. Amber was so, so fantastic and she was great for Wilson. Whyyy???

I was planning on getting an icon of her and I hadn't gotten around to it yet. I hadn't seen one that I'd liked enough. I always really liked her character and she was so good for Wilson. I was so happy when they brought her back.

I just... they'd better not forget her in next season's opening. The last time I cried this much was at Doomsday.

Ha, me neither, as you have noticed. ITA that I want to see consequences next season. I can't believe they won't eventually reconcile, but I don't want to see it treated the facile way they did the beginning of season three(I think it was), when House was running and okay and then not, just like that.

My heart is so broken. I may need to find/make an icon of Wilson and Amber from the video Kutner found on her computer because they just looked so happy together -- he was nervous and adorable and she was sweet and they were so happy.

So, yes, there had better be consequences.

*sniffles* Oh I know! It was so depressing to be crying last night. Why oh why did Fox have to give us a twofer of sadness!?!

Because they are evil and mean and hate us.

*sniffles*

I am going to miss Amber so much (and I don't know if we'll ever see Zach again but he certainly won't be a regular and it hurts that we're losing him).

They are! I knew FOX was evil! I should have remembered my lesson with them when it came to The X-Files.

As for Zach, I heard that the actor sent an email out to the people on his website saying that he didn't want to leave, but that's where they wanted to take his character. So, I'm sure he'd love to pop on again if they let him!

:( I'm right there with you on both accounts. I loved how Bones broke Zack's logic, it was so, so, so sad. :(

Yes. His one tiny tear of realizing that he does value his friend over other 'more important' considerations and that that means that he was wrong.

*has no bones icon -- is sad*

In regards to Bones, there were a few scenes that really got to me. The look on Cam's face, when she realized that Zack was the murderer. How Bones leaned in close to Zack, when she had finally broken through his logic, and he started to cry. And how Bones didn't think she had given Zack anything and Booth proved her wrong. In the end, it did make sense that Zack could go down that path and it was made even worse by the fact that he did have all those people who loved him.

And I haven't consistently watched House in about two seasons, but I decided to watch last night's episode. Yah, that was pretty heartwrenching as well. I felt bad for Wilson, (and for Amber, because that was a completely awful, random way to die), but it was when House was telling Amber that he didn't want to be in pain anymore, didn't want to be miserable anymore, and didn't want his best friend to hate him, that I really got choked up. I hope that there will be real repercussions in the next season, just like I hope that they won't just sweep Zack aside as a character and how he affected his co-workers and friends on Bones.

I love so much that they didn't stop loving him. That she even understood exactly how he'd gotten there.

The House/Amber scene at the end was so beautiful. I loved him admitting (in the earlier scene) that she was like him in all the best ways and then him talking about how it shouldn't be, out of the two of them, that she was the one to die. Because they were very much alike but she was happy and in love and good for the person she loved (by refusing to let Wilson treat her like he treated his wives).

I love so much that they didn't stop loving him.

I thought that was incredibly realistic, because in real life, no matter how shocking a person's actions, you don't stop loving a person on a dime. You can still feel anger and sadness and disappointment, but the love will still be there as well. I really appreciated that his friends and co-workers still expressed that. That's what makes it so sad and affecting that he got to that point in the first place.

Regarding House, it was interesting to see him admit that he knew, between the two of them, that she shouldn't be the one to die. And I kind of loved how she basically didn't let him get away with any crap, (even in that dream/death state), and pushed him back into the real world to face the consequences.

I'm totally going to watch this. I could use some fictional breakings.

The best/worst part is that they are quality breakings -- the acting is really good and these people all love each other so much.

I'm really looking forward to the guy who plays Wilson's acting. I've seen lots of comments about how he nailed. He's never really done much for me, but I've never disliked him. So here's hoping.

Though I'm sad Amber is dead. I wanted her to live.

He looks so broken and exhausted by the end of the episode.

And I felt the same. I mentioned to you sometime last week, I think, that I had a hopeless crush on Amber. It took me half an hour after the show had ended for me to stop crying.

Oh god it's going to be Tosh and Owen all over again. :( I'll probably watch the Amber episodes with Wilson that I missed too.

Though Amber and Wilson did get to have a relationship first. I'm uncertain whether this makes things better, worse, or just equally painful.

Outside of Doctor Who (some) I tend to like my fiction to make me cry.

Oh Bones!
