This show has always had a grounding in logic and reality. I can deal with some of the futuristic technology and the odd bit of dodgy science as that exists to speed the plot along. However ghosts? Just why? It started on the notion that it could have been a hallucination caused by Booth's injury and drugging but soon gave up on that ambiguity entirely and just basically said 'yeah this guy is definitely a ghost'. Having the ghost help him escape could have been explained as a combination of hallucinations and head injury and would have made for a good story element. However when Brennan talks to him at the end it just ruins it completely.
Once you cross that line in what was previously a scientifically grounded programme I can no longer invest in it at all. Essentially any character could now be a ghost so when it is unclear who the murderer is... it could be a ghost too.
Moreover for Booth, who is insanely Catholic, to so willingly accept the supernatural just seems totally out of character. This is a man who genuinely believes in heaven and hell... you would think that finding out his friend was wandering around the Earth as a disembodied spirit might throw his deeply held beliefs into a state of dismay. Instead he just blindly accepts it.
I'm still working my way through season four but now that the show has suddenly taken the radical stance that ghosts are real there doesn't seem to be much point watching it anymore.
