LOL...I'm gonna wait to see how they play him this season. I missed most of the ep tonight, so I'm going to rewatch it online with Jessi when she comes home on the weekend.

  Uhh, I don't know whether I would go that far. Bury him alive maybe and let him take his chances?  :)
That's more in keeping with the show.  :D

  My feelings  exactly. When the heck did he become the star of the show? Using him as comedy relief is just annoying.
What the devil happened to the continuity of this show? They had two main characters break up and they were really
ticked off at Cam and there is nothing in this show that even indicates any of that happened. No mention of Zack and
more effort to make Brennan look like an idiot with her philosophy of relationships. Why do they need Sweets overseeing
all of the back and forth between characters. Booth and Temperance did fine on their own at one time and they were
the most touching scenes.  What happened to these writers after the strike? These shows don't seem to be nearly as tightly
written or thought out very well. What a shame ruining something by changing what did not need fixing.  :(

Has anyone read any of the Temperance books? Is there a Sweets character in them?  ???

The struggle of the two trying to understand each other was one of the main "chemistry" components that made me love the show. Now... Not so much.  :-\

Ann has read several of the books and the show bears little resemblance to the books. I don't even think Boothe is in them. I'll ask her when she calls later.

ETA: Ann said the books are nothing like the show. She's married with a grown daughter, dating a Canadian cop. She's a forensic anthropologist who writes books and that is about all the show and the books have in common. No Boothe, no Angela, no Zach, and best of all, no Sweets.

<<Has anyone read any of the Temperance books? Is there a Sweets character in them?>>

  I've read all of them except the last one that just came out. The books are nothing like the show and the only
thing they have in common is the name of the character of Temperance. The personality of that character isn't
even the same. I was really surprised when I first saw the show that it bore no real similarities to the books
except the name and job description and even that is different since her job in the book is not centered in Washington
but Canada and one of the Carolinas.

I actually saw one of the books in Borders the other day. Didn't bother, since I'd probably get tiffed it wasn't like the show.

Tonight's ep was better I think. More like they are supposed to be. Sweets was actually not that bad. Maybe they will keep him toned down from now on. This is the first time since they brought his character in that I think he's actually helped someone. huh.

  It's a book series that needs to be read from the first book on because of the personal life. It is a really good mystery
series but no it's not like the show at all. Yes, I agree the show tonight was good but I still think he hangs around too
much.

Yeah, considering he was supposed to be brought in to deal with Bones and Booth after he had the mini-breakdown.

Now he's helping solve crimes and just dropping in while they are working?

I loved how Hodgins called Cam in to just shoo him off. That was funny. I think it's also cool that he's just as annoyed and ticked at him as we are.
