Discussion History Series / Bones

I\\\'m looking for something related to ViewersAreGeniuses - Non-Viewers Are Morons? A repeated plot element is how the team has to \\\"talk down\\\" to normal people. Cam is basically the StopHavingFunGuy - she chews out Hodgins on a regular basis for his impromptu tests - spam and artificial bone to determine circumstances of death(2x01 \\\'\\\'The Titan on the Tracks\\\'\\\') make perfect sense to Hodgins and the viewer, and she says, \\\"Defence lawyer hears \\\'Spam\\\', he makes a joke, and the jury laughs, and everything we get from the Jeffersonian is framed as ‘goofy science’, you know, from a bunch of squints with no connection to the real world.\\\" Bones herself gets harangued for being smart while jurors are slack-jawed morons - she nearly loses an otherwise open-and-shut case because the opposing expert is chatty and handsome. \\\"The jury likes Michael better then they like me, apparently that’s a problem. Are they stupid?\\\" Goodman responds that, \\\"Compared to you, yes they are stupid. However, compared to you most of the world is a little stupid.\\\"

It\\\'s like the producers are saying \\\"Smart people watch BONES. Lots of stupid people don\\\'t. Here are some, aren\\\'t they soooo stupid?\\\"
