I cannot get over how fucked up Sweets’ death is. I just had to skip over that scene when rewatching.
If the actor had to leave, they could’ve just written his character out by having him and Daisy move away when she has their baby.
They mention his character while they’re grieving, but I don’t think they seem as sad as they should be. He was literally Booth and Brennan’s son. He lived in their home for months and took care of their daughter. Gordon Gordon says that he was looking for a family and Brennan said they could find him a permanent place with them.
I just think his death would’ve traumatized them a lot more.
Plus, I don’t like the way they have the time jump before his death while Booth is in jail. The whole plot just wasn’t my favorite.
And for him to not tell anyone that he was having a kid? I feel like it would be more likely that he would’ve freaked out when Daisy told him and then gone to Booth for reassurance. He would’ve worried that he would be a bad father and he and Booth would’ve bonded over that because of both of their struggles with their biological parents.
Anyway, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: SWEETS DESERVED BETTER!
