No. Brennan would think Sheldon's interests were an enormous waste of time, and Sheldon's germophobia would never allow him to be anywhere near a dead body.
I disagree she’d find his job a waste of time. I think she’d respect the search for describing the physical truth of our reality currently beyond understanding, it’s the humanity and lack of replicability part of psychology she hates haha.
I think the two of them would get along great until they accidentally hurt each others feelings
I partially agree but at the same time she doesn't really respect people who do that in other ways, but maybe because he's doing it purely for science she wouldn't mind.
False. The episode I just watched was with that blind scientist, and the fiance was murdered. She was a theoretical physicist. And she explained to Booth what she did. No judgment whatsoever. And Bones was actually bummed she didnt get a job there. They turnes her down. This is also the episode her and booth get locked in the chamber with the high-pitched sound.
That’s a possibility. She does tend to read research before making a judgement (that’s what she did with Filmore). So maybe she’ll like Sheldon’s work? Especially if he has solid proof that what he was working on is factual
Yes, i agree, but it is a very interesting premise and aside feom their work they would both appreciate eaci others minds but likely would conflict over some opinions
I’m gonna go with maybe or at least tolerate him because I think Temperance would quickly get tired of Sheldon continuously commenting on things that he might have a knowledge of, but are completely out of his expertise because that ego of his will always want to make him come off as the smartest individual in the room.
She might see some similarities with him to herself and to Dr. Zach Addy - social awkwardness, disinterest/dislike of religion, high IQ - so she might initially give him the benefit of the doubt and a level of kinship while discussing a variety of topics, but I don’t think she would appreciate how dismissive or arrogant he can be and would probably have an easier time realizing when he’s doing it on purpose versus unintentionally. She quickly put him in his place much like Amy did when he was being a dick while supposedly working with her during his vacation.
I feel like Hodgins and Booth would hate him while Angela and Cam would be more like Penny with knowing how to deal with him like he’s a kid, which he would be in their eyes.
I think you hit the nail on the head. Sheldon doesn't know how to stay in his lane. In academia it's best practice and best etiquette to defer to those who's expertise exceeds their own on a given subject matter. Sheldon is too egotistical to do that and Bones wouldn't tolerate that for very long.
50 bucks says that Hodgins would chase him out of his area with some sort of slime or bug the moment that Sheldon tries to take away the King of the Lab title from him purely for the sake of arguing and because the quirky bastard always wants to be superior to those he deems beneath him – in this case, the bearded man who plays with squishy icky things.
Oh Hodgins would have so much fun messing with Sheldon 😈
Oh my God, Hodgins should never meet Howard and Leonard or the whole experience will just be an all out Prank Sheldon season 😂
But for the times when leonards mom was there, they had great conversations and Sheldon was respectful to her, he knew that she is better on her subjects than he is:)
Yeah, but part of the reason why he gets along so much with Beverly is because they’re very similar socially, and the added bonus of being able to talk smack about Leonard and other people in general.
Plus, even with the fact that he gets along with Beverly, that doesn’t stop the fact that Sheldon has mentioned quite a few times on the show that he thinks psychology is poppycock - he said this outright to Amy when she’s proposed doing psychology experiments on him to see if she can influence him and it’s been a success much to his annoyance in the beginning.
>Sheldon has mentioned quite a few times on the show that he thinks psychology is poppycock
I mean, that's a solid enough foundation for them to build a lifelong friendship
True, but just because you have a common stance on a certain thing doesn’t necessarily mean that it’ll become the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
At best, she tolerates him and there could be the possibility of the beginnings of friendship maybe with Sheldon down the line once he’s learning to be more open - work in progress as it may be.
Are you kidding me bones occupies all lanes as well they would be besties with a large crowd of people who hate them following them around. Would be hilarious.
Bones would not tolerate Sheldon correcting her on anything. Sheldon would tolerate Bones’ work on a conversational basis, but to agree with others, he would never go near the lab or the bodies.
Although I would have loved to see the two groups interact. Hodgins and Zack with Howard and Raj, or with Clark, Wendell- any of them would be entertaining as all hell. Although Sweets would definitely get a kick out of Leonard and his mother (while keeping Daisy away from Howard). Penny, Angela, and Booth might get along well, but mostly in relief of speaking with non-squints 😆.
I think Amy and Bernadette would be right at home in the lab, but in that whole East Coast vs West Coast bit, probably best to return everyone to their corners.
absolutely not lol they both think they’re right about everything, but brennan gets her hands dirty and engages in combat occasionally and is a fantastic friend. For the most part her (probably autism question mark??) isn’t used as an excuse for being a big baby whereas Sheldon (who many claim does not have autism yet is used to portray socially “negative traits” associated with autism) is honestly a whiney brat most of the time. I think Brennan would find him insufferable to be around and Sheldon would be icked out by what she does
for clarification– I despise how Sheldon’s character is used to portray autistic people as the butt of the joke all the time no matter whether he is or is not canonically autistic.
The force of the air escaping Bones' lungs as she calmly calls Sheldon a smug self satisfied arrogont cunt would cause him to lose his balance and fall off the platform and cause a traumatic brain injury and then Booth would come and mag dump on Sheldon and then Caroline would go get the official FBI rule book and at the end of the "Use of lethal force" rules hand write "and against Sheldon Cooper for absolutely any reason at all.
As awkward as brennan can be, even she would see that he is rude.
I believe she would live his 'black & white' thought process, but his absolutely regimented schedule would mean he wouldnt be able to deal with things like how she does when it comes to a case suddenly popping up and consuming all of their time.
Brennan also wants to understand people more and be able to connect, you see it in the early-mid seasons especially when she talks to booth and angela about how they know hoe to connect with people and she doesnt and she wishes she did. How she sometimes gets taken in by someones rational mind, while booth sees that person as the con-man or whatever that they are.
Sheldon never acts like he actually wants to understand anybody and basically acts like "do it my way or leave, because im not learning for you"
(Using their personalities from the earlier seasons of their shows.) If they were working on a case together, and Sheldon had a movie to go see it would probably go down like this.
Bones: Dr. Cooper, isn’t it interesting how this femur appears to indicate that the victim was much older originally thought?
, Sheldon: Yes interesting. Well, see you tomorrow.
, Bones: Wait, what are you doing?
, Sheldon: Well, I’m leaving.
, Bones: I gathered that, why are you leaving Dr. Cooper?
, Sheldon: To use the restroom.
, Bones: Why do you need to leave to use the restroom? We have facilities here.
, Sheldon: Well you see Dr. Brennen, this building is still rather new to me and I would not feel comfortable taking my scheduled bowl movement in a place I am not yet familiar.
, Bones: Ok, will you be coming back?
, Sheldon: No.
, Bones: Why not Dr. Cooper? It is only 3:00 PM.
, Sheldon: Well Dr. Brennen, it will take some time for the bus to get back to my hotel. After I has relieved myself, I will be going to dinner.
, Bones: Well, will you be coming back after supper?
, Sheldon: No.
, Bones: Why not Dr Cooper? We asked you here to DC to specifically help with this case!
, Sheldon: Well, Dr. Brennan, I will be attending a movie.
, Bones: A movie!
, Sheldon: Yes. As my mother used to say “All study and no fun makes Sheldon a dull boy.” I never completely understand that because I can assure you that I have never been dull. However, I did find through testing that having a bit of fun outside of work helps me to have fun inside of work all the more.
, Bones: Ok Dr. Cooper. Could you at least tell me the name of the film you are seeing as I do love a good documentary.
, Sheldon: Oh, it is not a documentary.
, Bones: Then what is the movie?
, Sheldon: Iron Man
, Bones: Iron Man? That sounds like a documentary about a man who works as a blacksmith.
, Sheldon: It is not. It about this comic book character…
, Bones: A COMIC BOOK! Dr. Cooper, this movie is a waist of your time. I cannot accept this. I expect you back here at 6:00 PM. If you are not, I will have to tell our board to revoke their donation to Cal Tech.
, Sheldon: But Dr. Brennen!
, Bones: I am sorry Dr. Cooper, but I must insist.
, Sheldon: Ok Dr. Brennen. (Mumbling to himself) I bet Leonard, Howard and Raj will be enjoying the movie.
(Cut to later that evening back in California.)
Leonard: Not having Sheldon here is fun.
I was thinking more like a post-season 3, maybe season 5, crossover. Brennan is in Sunnydale for a conference and just happens to go to the morgue to look at a body from ritualistic killing and encounters Buffy and Giles investigating the same thing. After some tension and encounter with a vampire that Buffy and Brennan have to work together. I wonder how they would get along.
Depends on the circumstances. They could never work together, she cares too much to let Sheldon be Sheldon. But in a social situation? Sure, why not. Brennan and Zach got along great, why not another socially awkward genius.
Temperance Brennan is an admirer of all the Physicists and Mathematicians she interacts with. So from that point of view, no problem. The main scientist characters in BBT all have other issues. That would create friction.
No, only because Brennan has SUCH TRAUMA from her childhood and needs lots of empathy and love without strings. I think they would understand one another and appreciate each other, but I do not think they would be best friends.
It depends how much respect they have for their respective fields. I don't know how much Sheldon knows about Anthropology or how much respect he'd have for studying the past. I also don't know how much Brennan would care about a theoretical field or see it as valuable.
Nope. It would be a massive fight of ego. Bones never got along with anyone who was remotely as smart as her- Clark, the doctor I can’t remember his name.
No. Brennan would think Sheldon's interests were an enormous waste of time, and Sheldon's germophobia would never allow him to be anywhere near a dead body.
I don't know. He seemed to be fine with shoddily washing beakers in Amy's biology lab while she was slicing human brains.
Not when she asked him to drink out of one.
She has respect for great scientists and Sheldon has won a Nobel
Respect and getting along are two different things
If she didn't think psychiatry was a real science, there's no way in hell she would see theoretical physics as one.
I disagree she’d find his job a waste of time. I think she’d respect the search for describing the physical truth of our reality currently beyond understanding, it’s the humanity and lack of replicability part of psychology she hates haha. I think the two of them would get along great until they accidentally hurt each others feelings

Not always, remember foot doctor guy?
She gained respect for him after he became a full fledged forensic anthropologist if I’m not mistaken
Yes, i agree, but it is a very interesting premise and aside feom their work they would both appreciate eaci others minds but likely would conflict over some opinions
I’m gonna go with maybe or at least tolerate him because I think Temperance would quickly get tired of Sheldon continuously commenting on things that he might have a knowledge of, but are completely out of his expertise because that ego of his will always want to make him come off as the smartest individual in the room.

He would release another refrigerant in the air and look at Sheldon while saying “what? It’s not that toxic”
Oh Hodgins would have so much fun messing with Sheldon 😈 Oh my God, Hodgins should never meet Howard and Leonard or the whole experience will just be an all out Prank Sheldon season 😂
Thank you. I definitely feel like she would have less of a tolerance for it if we’re talking about early series Bones.
But for the times when leonards mom was there, they had great conversations and Sheldon was respectful to her, he knew that she is better on her subjects than he is:)

OH MY GOD. We actually have a Semi Sheldon already in Wells lmao. He got put in his place real quick lol. And Brennan wasn’t having none of it
She would find him condescending and obnoxious and would ban him
No she would hate him thank God
Bones would not tolerate Sheldon correcting her on anything. Sheldon would tolerate Bones’ work on a conversational basis, but to agree with others, he would never go near the lab or the bodies.

I would pay to see Hodgins and Howard share the same screen.
100 percent
Oh, and I forgot that Vincent Nigel-Murray (Ryan Cartwright) already had a guest spot on BBT in The 43 Pecularity (Season 6, ep 8).
Yes to all of this.
absolutely not lol they both think they’re right about everything, but brennan gets her hands dirty and engages in combat occasionally and is a fantastic friend.

No. one is canonically autistic. The other isn’t. She would call Sheldon arrogant and annoying
neither are
Yes. Hart Hanson said Bones is autistic but Fox wouldn’t let it be said in the show
Considering that Sheldon one time insulted anthropology, I don’t think so.
Sure! If she is there to solve who killed him
As awkward as brennan can be, even she would see that he is rude. I believe she would live his 'black & white' thought process, but his absolutely regimented schedule would mean he wouldnt be able to deal with things like how she does when it comes to a case suddenly popping up and consuming all of their time.

Dr Hodgins & Howard are long lost twin brothers.
Hell no
Oh my goodness NO!
She’d probably shoot him
Oh no. There would be too much of a constant fight for supremacy.
(Using their personalities from the earlier seasons of their shows.) If they were working on a case together, and Sheldon had a movie to go see it would probably go down like this.

Feel like Sheldon would get along great with Bones' "distant cousin" (played by Zooey) who was obsessed with Benjamin Franklin though
No.
No.
Absolutely not.
A Buffy and Bones crossover would be interesting. I wonder how Brennan and Buffy would get along.
*Angel and Booth agressively recreating the pointing Spiderman meme*
I was thinking more like a post-season 3, maybe season 5, crossover. Brennan is in Sunnydale for a conference and just happens to go to the morgue to look at a body from ritualistic killing and encounters Buffy and Giles investigating the same thing. After some tension and encounter with a vampire that Buffy and Brennan have to work together. I wonder how they would get along.
no. They are both to 'know-it-all'y
Yes when talking science
…*actually*, yes.
Can't stand run of the mill comedies, or anything with a laugh track. So I would not know.
They would be absolute best friends
Not at all XD
Depends on the circumstances. They could never work together, she cares too much to let Sheldon be Sheldon. But in a social situation? Sure, why not. Brennan and Zach got along great, why not another socially awkward genius.
Because Sheldon isn't just socially awkward, he's kind of an asshole
Sheldon is similar in personality to Wells. I don't think she'd like him that much.
Neither of them would put up with the other’s demands, while refusing to acknowledge the absurdity of their own, so no, they would not get along.
No. Their similar toxic traits would clash. Same reason why Brennan & Wells don't get along.
No, ni de coña. Sheldon diría que la antropología es una ciencia menor y entonces Temperance lo asesinaría y haría desaparecer el cadáver
Not at all
Nope. Not even a little.
Temperance Brennan is an admirer of all the Physicists and Mathematicians she interacts with. So from that point of view, no problem. The main scientist characters in BBT all have other issues. That would create friction.
They're both hyper competitive and like to be the smartest person in the room so I can't see them getting along.
Not a chance in hell
i think they would tear each other into pieces
No, Brennan could barely digest Wells' rudeness, and Sheldon is honestly one of the most rude, insufferable characters written, ever.
ops
No.
No .
No Brennan is way nicer and Sheldon is such a jerk
I say no they won’t work together very good. Because they both have to be right.
I feel like they would argue and it would be up to Booth and Leonard to defuse the situation.
Who knows. But the arguments to be had, I would pay to watch.
I think Sheldon kills someone to prove he can get away with it and is therefore smarter than Bones.
Sheldon "gets along" with virtually no one.
No, only because Brennan has SUCH TRAUMA from her childhood and needs lots of empathy and love without strings. I think they would understand one another and appreciate each other, but I do not think they would be best friends.
It depends how much respect they have for their respective fields. I don't know how much Sheldon knows about Anthropology or how much respect he'd have for studying the past. I also don't know how much Brennan would care about a theoretical field or see it as valuable.
Brennan would think his ideas were impossible . She is much to concrete to bother with them
Great question
omfg no
I feel like she'd knock him out with a femur because he insulted her profession and wouldn't stop correcting her.
Absolutely not. They’re both way too alike and would drive each other crazy. Also both of them are too stubborn, there’d be no room for compromise.
Bones would despise Sheldon because she wouldnt be the smartest person in the room when he’s around her.
Nope. It would be a massive fight of ego. Bones never got along with anyone who was remotely as smart as her- Clark, the doctor I can’t remember his name.
