There are some days I wake up on the Internet to cute videos of children hugging their dads at the bus stop, or at least amusing footage of Christopher Nolan wandering around Universal Hollywood. Then, there are other days I’m confronted with facts about some of my favorite shows that make my pulse race in discomfort or disbelief. That’s what happened this morning when I learned Sweets was never supposed to die on Bones. Yes, you read that right.
You remember Sweets. He was the awkward-yet-charismatic psychologist and profiler who worked closely with the already-terrific Bones and Booth on cases for years. He ultimately was murdered and left to die in a parking garage, having one final conversation with his partners in solving crime before he succumbed to his injuries.
