And It Ended - Tumblr Posts

JUST NOW READING THIS AND I NEEDED TO MAKE A POST ABOUT IT.

Pelant’s ending was so unsatisfactory and not even from a “he deserved more” thing, the ending was lame whether you like white boy or not. I understand it was so he died human, something he swore he wasn’t, but it could’ve been done SO much better.

Bones’ ending as a WHOLE would’ve been better if that happened. Pelants delusions should’ve been the end of him (even if they sort of were? he thought Brennan would protect him).

SPEAKING OF. I wouldn’t be HALF as pissed with him being in love with Brennan if that arc would’ve gone on for longer. It would’ve fleshed out is character and honestly would’ve made him more unlikeable!!!

this is literally coming from the top Pelant blog. I would’ve LOVED to see this man be broken down to the point he realizes he isn’t a god. i would’ve loved to see him drive himself to the point of madness after being an egotistical dick for the other seasons.

The Gravedigger is an excellent example. Her ending was abrupt, but it felt right. Because it was dramatic and it clearly had an impact. Yeah, Pelant had the whole next government arc as a result of his existence but it felt like his death meant nothing.

Booth and Brennan walk away like it was nothing and then get engaged?? and then he isn’t mentioned nearly as much as he should’ve been??

Taffet had the emotional toll on Sweets and Caroline, the mystery of who killed her, and the whole “Brennan as her skull spinning around like a Christmas tree” part, but Pelants ending felt stale and like it was an excuse to be done with it.

This really makes me think something happened behind the scene to make it this bad (ae: Zacks arc being a result of the writers strike). Bones had great ending to serial killers (literally all of their deaths were dramatic and meant something) but Pelants last episode I can’t even watch atp it’s just so bad 😭

I’ll dive more into this when it’s not 5 in the morning and I’m not homeless thamk yew

Babys first hated arc for Bones

I just finished s9 ep 4, the last bit of Pelant's story and I can't help but feel... disappointed. They were clearly leading up to something with Pelant wanting Brennan to be his endgame, and then we had Booth save the day.

And it's not that I'm mad about. That was sweet and all but I verbally out loud was yelling at my T.V. because this felt so underwhelming.

While I understand we were seeing more and more that Pelant wasn't who he thought he was, it felt SO cheap that Booth was able to just shoot him right there.

I think he could've had more story. We could've seen his downfall as he gave into delusions more. It was SO clear with the bone swapping and the whole plot of this episode that he could've ran off with Bones!!! I'm so upset that honestly he didn't run off.

I'm gonna use another longterm character. The Gravedigger.

She was also shot, but when SHE was killed I felt satisfied. That felt right in the story. Pelant being shot and killed did NOT. I'm so upset truly that it ended here.

It would've felt much more narratively satisfying to see Pelant running with Brennan thinking he WON, and slowly seeing him descend into madness and getting more sloppy, than Booth just shooting him and ending it here.

I am so mad!!!!! It shouldn't have been this!
