I think in this case maybe (and keep in mind I haven't really watched this show in a loooong damn time) the writers just don't know WHAT to do anymore. How long has Bones been on? A few years now. Maybe the writers are out of ideas on how to spice the series up and create new levels of drama, so... POOF! Here's a baby. Babies are soooo dramatic. Let's see what happens here!
Making a comparative note between the writers of Bones and the writers of Castle (because Castle's been on now for a few years too, albeit not as many as Bones) there's the general feel that the writers DO have an overall plan. There's all the littel plots and cases, just like Bones, but it feels like they've also thought way ahead in terms of character direction and change catalysts. That doesn't mean every single episode is a slam dunk, but the ones that directly effect the characters have been the ones that were the most solid and well constructed.
Just my observations though. And of course, it could be very biased. *grins*
Anyway, it makes me really sad to hear you say Bones is being set up like a lame fanfic. That show had such MAJOR potential with an awesome cast and terrific dynamics. It was humorous, technical, dramatic... I just feel like the last episodes I watched that they were trying TOO hard or something.
