Day 6: Favourite Female Character in a MEDICAL/PROCEDURAL show
Angela Montenegro (Bones)



I decided to choose a procedural rather than a medical show for this, seeing as I will be using Grey's Anatomy quite a bit later! The character of Angela is one that I loved from day one; she was the character I warmed to first on the show (despite having loved David Boreanaz since his very first alley-way appearance as Angel in Buffy!) Angela is warm, sweet, encouraging, and the sort of friend who would cry with you when you needed it, and force you to have fun when you needed that. I love her innocence and her love of Christmas, I enjoy her interactions with Hodgins, and I both admire and envy her self-confidence. Angela lives and loves on her own terms, but without being one of those irritating people that constantly point out how 'individual' they are.

Minor rant: I am a couple of seasons behind on Bones, and whilst image-searching on google for a cute Angela pic, I managed to see so many spoilers in just a couple of photos. My own fault for not forseeing that, I guess, but annoying nonetheless. Still, the spoilers did look sort of awesome!

Angela is a character I started out liking, but it's hard to do so now. I don't know how far back you are, so I won't spoil, but the writers took several of her personality traits and made me really hate her. Of course this is symptomatic of what happened to the whole series.

Noooo! Do not ruin my Angela! BAD WRITERS. But then, I'm not shocked, considering what they did to Zach.

I've watched the first 4 seasons and have the season 5 DVD waiting on my bookshelf. Is that before the character assassination begins?

I did find it hugely annoying when she broke up with Hodgins for zero reason.

It started with the Ex-husband stuff and went on from there. Basically I thought she treated Hodgins like crap and was never properly called out for it. Doubly so when her dad showed up.

Ugh, I wish her ex had never appeared. It made me so angry when they broke up over him, but then I suppose the writers just thought - these 2 are happy, and settled, and functional, and yet we want to continue the show for another 6 years and so we need to screw them up for a while. So I tried not to blame Angela too much! I shall see what I think of her in season 5 and report back!

Angela is a very sweet character. A very good friend to Bones. :)
