Here’s further proof that brain tumor-afflicted Booth will be on the mend this fall on Bones: The next Fox character that visits him will be a flesh-and-blood human, not an animated talking baby.

Sources confirm that Fox is toying with the idea of staging a crossover next season that would find Booth and Brennan working on a case with Tim Roth’s Lie to Me doc Lightman. The insider cautions that it’s in the very early stages and “may not even happen,” which is even more reason for me to get this out there now before the whole thing falls apart!

Thoughts? You tired of Fox’s other properties invading the sacred ground that is Bones? Or do you come from the “the more the merrier” school of thought? Sound off below!

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."

We’re all past the Booth/Bones season finale hookup debacle, right? Great. Let’s move onto the next important Bones question at hand: So, uh, David, how’s your brain?

Such was the question asked at the Bones set visit during the Television Critics Association press tour today, to which David Boreanaz replied with some revealing information about next season…

"My brain is fine," he deadpanned. "Actually, as far as the character is concerned? It’s an interesting thing to happen, I think, to him. He does have a remembrance of certain things, but he’s not adept at other things that he thought he was."

For example? "In the last episode about plumbing, he was reading a book about how to do plumbing but he can’t remember how to plumb his own kitchen sink. So I have to revisit things that Booth is very good at," he said.

This relearning of things that Booth knew pre-coma will run throughout the season, and it "might spill over into the job" as well, he said.

Stephen Nathan (executive producer) added, "It’s a matter of rediscovering your character and in that process rediscovering Brennan [Emily Deschanel]. And that’s why that event [i.e., the finale], while it might have been not technically real, was very, very real to them. And they see each other differently. And that event, either in the book or in his coma, is real to them. "

"And," chimed in David, "it makes me want to reinvest my time and energy into a relationship because I don’t remember certain things that now we’re back to ground zero again. We’re even worse than ground zero."

They also spilled that there will be another new assistant (or two) next season. Hart Hanson (executive producer) said, "I know we’ll bring in at least one more. And we have ideas for two…Possibly two, if we lose one of our regulars."

Before you freak out, Hart didn’t mean that a regular castmember is leaving. He meant a regular squint (er, that would mean colleague).

I don’t think they need revolving FBI Agents, but if it will detach Booth from Bones, I agree. I think they have too many scenes together, and it would be nice to see them act with the rest of the cast more often.

I am tired of them making it seem like Brennan is the most important person in Booth’s life. He’s too dependent on her. They need to bring in Parker more, because to me that is the most important person in his life.
