@ahmenophus said: Wow that is actually really good point about tv now being an event vs ongoing. And it’s something I’ve struggled to find a way to explain because I definitely agree. As much as people like to talk down on them, there is something special about weekly procedurals
The binge-model doesn’t really lend itself well to the full fandom experience...Bones was a full-year/ongoing thing and I absolutely loved that!! Nowadays people will spend a few days watching something on Netflix and then forget about it and move onto something else.
I don’t have time for people who look down on procedurals but at the end of the day, they are the ones missing out!
@boothseeley said: Totally having the same feeling. Tv has changed it’s not the same anymore. Life without Bones is shit. Adulting is also shit, trying to do that too.
I would give ANYTHING to go back to when Bones was on. I hate being an adult SO MUCH. I can’t believe there was a time in my life when I was idiotic and stupid and actually wished I was older, blah.
@peppernights said: I agree!!! I was saying the same thing the other day. Bones was an experience all around for many of us. I will always treasure those memories. It’s sad tho the the fandom kinda disappeared. I see a lot of other fandoms from ended tv shows that are so active :( like writing fanfics
Unfortunately, it’s not a surprise that after 12 years that the active fandom was quite small (in internet terms, anyway) by the end of the show’s run. But still, I’m sad that there’s not many of us left now.
As an aside, I was hoping that more people would engage with EOTW but I understand that people have moved on or stopped posting on Tumblr altogether. But if anyone is reading this and missing Bones, please do join in with ‘Episode of the Week’ if you want! You can contribute in any way you want: gifs/edits/fics/simple text posts/episode reviews/fave moments/whatever!!! Tag with EOTW or let me know that you are getting involved! :)
