Oh, this is going to hurt. I loved Ralph and Jackson.
ReplyDeleteWonder whether Bones will address Ralph's death this season too or wait.
I would have been perfectly fine if Waite's death wasn't written in until season 12. I understand their decision though, and I am curious to see what they will make of it. Wonder what it means for Tony's arc.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I loved as Jackson, too.
ReplyDeleteWith Bones, I don't care when they address it as long as they do. Seeing as Pops was such an important part of Booth's life.
Oh gee,I'm sure it will be special as well as heartbreaking. How sad...
ReplyDeleteIt probably does not change beside Gibbis leaving the team and Tony temporary takes over....I hope there will be a funneral
ReplyDeleteWhen Larry Hagman passed away in 2012 the writers and cast members were devastated by this news that the writers had to come up with a way to honor his character J.R. and did an amazing and emotional funeral scene on Dallas that brought me to my tears :(
ReplyDeleteI think David would wanna make a funeral scene for his dad character and plus it would give much respect.
Ok good I was worried they go the second darrin route. At least will have a normal acknowledgement of pappy Gibbs passing in some semi logical mannor .
