YMMV / Bones S 9 E 11 The Spark In The Park

• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Dr. Leon Watters. Professor Watters is depicted as a Distaff Counterpart to Brennan. He is aloof and seemingly devoid of emotion regarding his daughter. This is supposed to be a sign that he is going through Heroic BSoD, but it’s made clear that he has always been a Workaholic. His Parental Neglect is so severe that she is willing to mutilate herself just to get him to notice her. Yet he can’t even remember seeing her the evening she died. When you combined the ridiculous number of Red Herrings, the killer's motive comes across as Insane Troll Logic with the fact that the only thing sympathetic about him is Brennan empathizing with him. It hard to see how he’s supposed to be likable.
