This is the season of chasing. Brennan chases Booth as Booth pursues his relationship with Hannah. It is also about Booth chasing the anti-Booth, the main villain within this story. And, as with all good stories, the chase is the journey, but there are some great and fascinating conclusions to these races of the heart. I spent most of season six on the edge of my seat, waiting to see what would come next, and obstinately holding my breath.

This season’s villain is the anti-Booth, a sniper who trained our favourite FBI agent and raised him to the level of competence that makes him so formidable throughout the series. Broadsky reminds us of the importance of morality and empathy in a human being. Even Brennan, who struggles with her low EQ has a level of morality and empathy that Broadsky lacks. Although, Broadsky does act upon his own moral compass, it is his lack of empathy and acceptance of ‘collateral damage’ that makes him so formidable.

I love the idea of constantly chasing that is toted throughout this series – we are all chasing something in life, and it is this journey that truly matters.
