I stopped watching this show when the kid was born. So sick of baby storylines that turn interesting female characters into stereotypical mothers. From what I've heard I'm not missing anything good.

[(Anonymous)]

Same anon.

For clarification, I think that typical mothers CAN be interesting characters. But I hate it when a character who does not fit this type is changed completely just because she has a baby.

This. One of the writers must have baby rabies, this shit is ridiculous.

Yeah, me, too. Hell, using this same show as en example, I CAN see Angela as a stereotypically loving, touchy-feely mother because it actually fits her personality (she's that way with everyone). Bones? Not so much.

[(Anonymous)]

I think the character development of Angela could dance circles around Brennen's.

Wait so....a character...a woman has to be a specific TYPE now to want to have kids, to be a mom? Not all women are cookie-cutter copies of each other who end up wanting kids. Some want them from teh start. Some change over time. Some don't. Some may SEEM like they'd be bad mothers, but turn out not to be. Some may seem like they'd be great mothers, but turn out to be really bad. some are more stereotypical media, fictional moms, some are like Brennan.

To me, that was a poor choice of description. :/

[(Anonymous)]

Women don't have to be a specific type to want kids, but in television, any time kids enter the picture, the mother becomes the popular mom stereotype, regardless of characterization or logic.

[otakugal15]

Except...Brennan hasn't to my eyes. She's still Brennan and still does her job as she always has. She just so happens to be a mom now as well.

:/

She is protective of Christine, but that's due to her shitty childhood and that she doesn't want that to ever happen to her daughter. Otherwise? She's exactly the Brennan I loved from early on, with minor changes as she's grown a little more socially aware and such.
