The FBI: wow, this agent and the anthrolopogist consultant we hired, and her team of weirdos at the Jeffersonian, have a truly insane solve rate for murder. I think we can overlook a few breaches in protocol; their expertise makes it worth it in the eyes of the Bureau. We are going to have to hire a full time psychologist for them tho because jesus fuck

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.
Random things I love about the show Bones:
- all the times they take stuff from the museum to use in the investigation ("I got this from the x exhibit")
- Brennan following some birds, bugs etc and finding a body ("Booth, you might want to see this")
- "Bones, stay behind me!" Brennan immediately wanders off
- the banter between Booth and Caroline Julian
- how well TJ Thyne plays exhausted Hodgins
- how immaculate Cam's outfits are (and how they are ruined by Hodgins and co's experiments)
- the guitar riffs that play every time Angela's dad is on screen
Angela has a crush on Arastoo because he is a poet and Hodgins has a crush on Arastoo because he is a political exile sooo when are they going to fuck
