*I have only seen this show through this episode*
This episode was interesting, until the writers tried to dive further into the odd personality (and apparently the inability to read social cues) of Dr. Brennan. This is the first time we have seen her testify as an expert witness, but are we really to believe that she's never done this before? As highly regarded as she is her field (spoken of many many times), why is she unable to convey facts of a case in terms that a layperson would comprehend? She is counseled on how to do so, and ignores everything related to the way others will interpret her (wears blue, makes eye contact, still speaks in almost entirely technical terms, thus ignoring the only portion she fails to find reason for implementing). This portrays the character as someone with Asperger's Syndrome. She's fact/rule-oriented, feels that's all that should be required, and doesn't seem to understand the need to integrate a sociological aspect into her testimony. I guarantee this odd expression will never be addressed, and that she's just the typical "troubled woman w/ early childhood issues". It's clear with how much sexual undertone there is that she and Booth with eventually be together (get girl, lose girl, get girl back). For those who have seen the full series, feel free to ruin it for me and prove me wrong and email me (figure this out and just take out the periods) Q.U.I.C.K.F.L.O.2.1.@.A.I.M.C.O.M
