Looking at the reviews, I am so amazed at the reaction of Brits with the two episodes. This was a typical Stupid American in London episode. I don't see how it could offend Brits, the Americans, especially Booth, was a Neanderthal.
Such unrealistic ideas, Booth being able to carry a gun, being necessary for the resolution of the cases, presumably because Scotland Yard requires his help ... Hysterical. Who would actually believe it? Again, the stupid American in London. This was a spoof.
Driving on the left was hysterical, but Booth's reaction is, of course, typical of Booth. I understand that when I go to the UK, I will not be driving. That doesn't mean that driving on the left or the right is bad ... it just means it is different. Booth was Booth, he cannot adapt, as mentioned by Brennan.
I saw nothing realistic in the episode, especially to use to criticize the Brits. Stupid Americans ... it is a stereotype.
Booth, however, even with his lack of flexibility, appreciates the Brits ... maybe for stereotypical reasons, but does so nonetheless.
Again, this is a gynocentric episode when it came to Angela, her ex-husband (Grayson), Cam, and Hodgins. The women have their rights, but the men (except Grayson, because he was "used" (like he didn't like it), have none. Angela can jump on Grayson, mounting him with clothes on, and give him a passionate kiss ... that is ok. Cam can sleep with the guy for her own desires, that is ok (it really is ... because he is Angela's "ex"). Angela reacts ... that is always ok ... typically self-centered, she is always correct. And the distrust starts.
The script writers have their own objectives, even when the circumstances are contrived. That is normal.
Brennan actually acts like a real human in this episode. That is a big advancement.
