A opinion about the Direction of the series

I would love to see some uncertainty but I haven't seen it yet. We'll see what happens tomorrow and how they finally decided to cut some of the scenes that have several versions out there. So far Brennan has been perfectly candid that she's not jealous and wishes Booth well, not a stutter, not a blink, not a jot of B&B chemistry either.

Well, we have only see one episode. HH&Co. have said that Brennan will come to terms with her feelings, but it won't happen all at once...and it going take some time because Brennan has such a steap learning curve ...so we'll see what happens.

A steep learning curve means that she learns quickly. I would say her learning curve on this is so flat that a pancake looks like Everest in comparison.

I disagree, she does have a very steep learning curve. That's what got her into this emotional abyss in the first place. She learned quickly in foster care and in school to shut down emotionally to survive.(We know she was an outcast in school and was in abusive foster homes).
Letting people in causes pain. It probably started out as a coping mechanism, but because she learns so well and quickly, she was able to take it to a new level. She also uses denial as coping mechanism better than anyone I've ever seen.

I tell my husband that Brennan might be the World's Dumbest Genius....because it does seem like she hasn't learned a single thing in all these years in this regard. Although I will say she seemed to have taken a little step in last week's episode.
