Oh I didn't know that about the buckle. I imagine David had a hissy fit.

Yes about being intimidated by Brennan. Although he had dated strong women before, they were from his own milieu and Bones is in no way like that. I keep feeling that however strong Booth appears on the surface, he is deeply insecure about his abilities being appealing to women. Who wants an ex-gambler, ex-sniper from a broken home with control issues.
