icepixieGreat episode! Actually, it was my favorite of the season, or rather of what parts of the season I've bothered with this year. I loved the way they incorporated everyone in such a meta way. (Best line of the night, from Sweets: "Some people think I'm Gormagon." BWAH!) The only thing that fell flat was "Gormagon's" music, which I had to mute. But you know the one thing that would've made it better? Let me show you through a rewrite:
[B&B are snuggling after she's told him she's pregnant]
Booth: Wow. You know, this whole murder investigation gave me the craziest reoccurring dream. I dreamed you were a forensic anthropologist, and I was an FBI agent. We did this thing where we danced around our attraction for YEARS! And all of our employees were in the dream, too, working as scientists or something. It was weird.
Brennan: That does sound weird. Aren't you glad we own a nightclub instead?
[Show continues with the adventures of the nightclub in S5, turning B&B into Nick and Nora-style amateur investigators]
I'd totally watch the show if it were about this AU version of everyone. As it is...I'll wait for reports from people who watch S5 before I try it again. I'm sure it will be disappointing.

all sane peopleme.Hodgins was fun, though not there enough.
Yeah, and I hate how Brennan saddled him with the narration of her terrible prose. (Or...was it Booth who saddled him? I wasn't entirely sure how that played out--I'm guessing the bad prose was her reading, but Booth was making up the events of the dream?)
But... Booth's own subconscious writing Parker out of the story entirely? Creepy.
Yep!
Um, at least it was better than Motley-Where-Can-We-Cram-Some-More-Umlauts?-Crue's?
I liked them better, actually.
Yes! Alas.
Sigh.

But I thought that was Sweets narrating?

I got the impression it was Brennan being bedside emo, narrated over the only-vaguely-related action of the dream. I cheered when she hit 'delete.' If only there were a delete button for my ears!

I can't believe I'm saying this, but... too many flamethrowers?

Nope, Hodgins. Definitely Hodgins.

That seems the most logical explanation.

Oh, yes. The narration over their sex scene was especially bad.

NEVER!
