No offense to the cast, who did the best they could with what they were given, I'm sure, but I found Booth's sudden 'resurrection' at the gravesite in the opening minutes of the show so unconvincing that for the first 30 minutes I actually entertained the idea that this whole, far-fetched scenario was something Booth was dreaming up under anesthetic while his wound was being operated on, or something.

I'm only a casual viewer, but I caught last week's ep and cried, "Fool that I am! How can I not be a fan!" and watched it two more times online.

Then I watched this week's ep -- finale? Seriously? -- and couldn't make sense of the tone at all. Kinda back to being a casual viewer now, I think.

Yep, they seriously screwed the pooch on this one, turning off a lot of long-time and prospective new viewers.

This episode reminded me of the so-called final episode of Enterprise, which crapped all over every character development and storyline that we had followed over the years and treated the whole thing as a trivial, throwaway bauble.

Last night was NOT typical of the series in the past, but I'm re-thinking my own commitment to the series, after this, since I don't care for such abusive treatment of me, my intelligence, or the characters on the show.
