'Bones': Booth's brain isn't better yet

It's safe to assume that Seeley Booth will eventually recover from his brain injury on "Bones" -- after all, the show has been picked up for two more seasons.

But the Booth (David Boreanaz) fans see at the start of this season won't be the same hypercompetent man they knew before the injury sent him into a coma -- and a dream state in which he was married to Brennan (Emily Deschanel).

"It's an interesting thing that's going to happen," Boreanaz said Friday when the summer TV press tour visited the "Bones" set. "What I really want to maintain with the arc with him ... is that he does have a remembrance of certain things, but he's not as adept at other things as he thought he was."

Some of the things he doesn't remember are little ones: In the season premiere, for instance, Booth doesn't remember that he tends to wear brightly colored socks with his standard-issue FBI dark suit. Others might be more serious. "Whether it's knowing how to interrogate someone, and he doesn't do a certain thing and [Brennan is] looking at me going, 'This is what you usually do,' and I'm just a tad slow on that -- those are the little nuances they kind of discover."

Executive producer Stephen Nathan also says that the dream sequence that closed the season won't be dismissed out of hand either.

"I think it's a matter of rediscovering [Booth], and in that process rediscovering Brennan," Nathan says. "That's why that event, while it might not have been technically real, was very, very real to them as characters. ... They see each other differently."

"It makes me want to reinviest my time and energy into that relationship," Boreanaz adds. "Because I don't remember certain things, now we're back to ground zero."
