So what did everybody think of the episode tonight for the 100th? It was better than SG1's, for certain, but I still have mixed emotions.

Spoiler:
The background stuff was fun, and it was great to see Zack again. But I just hated that they ended it by dashing the hopes of all the shippers. It was soo close - they admitted that they loved each other! Bones was just too weak to take the next step. I swear, I nearly threw a book or a glass or a chair through the TV screen when she said that, and then he said he had to move on. They're destroying the show, and they don't care!

It destroyed the past 5 yrs. The whole premise the tension was built on. Here I was thinking things were building up from nothing and they were afraid, worried about taking the next step when they already had way back at the beginning. Makes me feel like the whole thing was a sham. And it wasn't just the Booth/Bones thing.
The way the other characters beginnings were portrayed didn't fit either. I was under the impression they'd known each other for years and had a deep long friendship only to find it had been just a year. I suppose in a year you can become good friends and co workers but from the beginning of the 1st ep it felt much more than that only to have it protrayed in this ep as a quickie thrown together I hate you and somehow poof we're great buddies.
As much as I like seeing Zack again, it just reminds of how they trashed his character and puts me back in that pissed off mood.
And then that ending.
Made me want to wash out my mind with soap. 
The way Bones acted seemed more the way she would have responded 5 yrs ago, not now. I thought she had grown alot in how she relates to people and love etc in the 5 yrs of the show only to be told she hadn't. That she is the same person now that she was then in spite of all the events and things she's gone thru with Booth, her father etc nothing's changed.
I haven't been as dilligent watching the show this year, and was feeling a little guilty if they really were going to do something with the relationship. Thinking I needed to go find the eps I missed but guess my subconscious was trying to tell me something. They had a good 1st 2 yrs and the rest has been up and down. You can only piss me off so many times before I give up.
So I'm going to borrow the line Booth used at the end and move on.
