I wish I was at your place. During the final scene I said, "Those two need to make out already!" To which there was no reply. Complete crickets. I'm not sure that Amy is a B/B fan. But then again, I don't think she really likes Brennan...
Man, I just wrote a longish post about this, and all I really wanted to say was THIS. WHAT YOU SAID. Squee, indeed. (Also, it's amazing how much sad baby-chick processing footage I can forgive in the face of all that hand-grabbing and googly-eyeing.) You said it best, Heather!
Also, I hardly EVER buy chicken--because I'm picky about meat in general, and boneless-skinless is expensive--but this week? Yeah, guess who had chicken cacciatore for dinner on Monday and lunch all week? And then shredded the leftovers for Asian chicken salad? Yeah. You and me and our random chicken dinners. Sweets would be amused, though.
(This episode made me think about the possibility of stopping buying meat that I don't know the origins of--I eat so little of it anyway that I don't think it would be a huge sacrifice, generally. BUT I LOVE HAMBURGERS, HEATHER. Like, I could totally do this at home (humanely raised meat, yay!), but what about Red Robin and In N Out? Could I give that up? Something to ponder.)
Well, considering this is a post full of quotes and/or actions from the episode, perhaps the writers said it best? Except that they failed to give me B&B make-out-age.
As for the meat thing, I'm with you. I could probably live without chicken because although I eat a lot of it, sometimes the taste squicks me. But hamburger. And the occassional filet mignon. I love it so. Unashamedly so at that!
Also, I have been pondering what you said about how you felt like it was a new writer because they didn't have the voices down quite right. I concur. Because Brennan was just a little bit brittle last night. I know this, because when she is, that's when I get a "See? She's mean!" from my roommate.

This BREAKS my HEART, Heather. I love Brennan, and obviously she's brittle, but it's because she's too sensitive and she feels things too deeply and do you think your roommate would be up for watching from the beginning? Because, really, so much is explained early on. ARGH. Might be a hard sell, but.

Oh, you are preaching to the choir here. My Brennan love runs very, very deep. (It's actually amusing because my lesbian friend Kim is uber in love with Booth, and while I love me some Seeley Booth, I am madly in love with Temperance Brennan.) And I spent a couple weeks trying to defend Brennan, but then I just gave up because if someone doesn't get Brennan, I don't think explaining it will suffice. Perhaps someday she'll sit down with Bones from the beginning and she'll understand how much Brennan has grown and how much she cares and how her need for logic plays into her brittleness, etc. In the meantime, I will focus on my coworker who I have successfully gotten hooked on the show and who I think understands the Brennan love.
Murder at a chicken factory. And I think whoever wrote the episode was trying to get a point across about cruelty to chickens at these kinds of places. Lots of video of chicks having their beaks cut off and just general grossness associated with the slaughtering of chickens.
