I think she's cute, too, and I'm just happy Boreanaz has de-puffed into and older semblance of his Buffy hotness.  I liked the first episode of the season and I like the whole dynamic of the group, including the new boss.  I enjoyed the biblical revisionism in the car.  I even thought that the impossibly written scene between Booth and his ex was somewhat saved by the actors.

But...

I had a real hard time with the way they handled the whole paean to fatherhood in the same episode as motherhood-gone-horribly-horribly-awry.  It felt like they were setting up fatherhood as a counterbalance, rather than a complement, to motherhood, i.e. the killer never would have killed her baby in a fit of psychotic PPD, and then tracked down the woman in her lamaze class and killed her for *her* baby (wow, I think I'm having a Passions flashback as I write this) if she hadn't been A SINGLE MOTHER *gasp*.  And the threat by the ex-girlfriend to Booth...not cool, even if, as I said earlier, the actors managed to elevate the material.

Basically, the whole thing seemed to take a very Fatherhood Initiative-type attitude to male parenthood, which by its very conception of that role, is at the expense of the female.

So, I'm going to see if this is just an aberration.  It has been a long time since I watched network TV, so maybe I just have to get back into the whole dynamic of the hour-long serialized drama.

hotties don't hurt. And who knew Boreanaz was a good actor? I never
watched Angel. What pissed you off? The subject matter?
