I dislike the way they hammer home her disassociation with society/people/culture every. single. ep. It's overkill, imo.
I agree with that, but I it's not something I consider to be a problem with the character, rather I see it as the writers handling that character poorly by attempting to turn "I don't know what that means" into a catchphrase (something they appear to have mostly given up on in recent eps, thank God). I like Brennan. Mostly because I just like her, partly because of the whole disconnected-from-society solidarity thing, but also because I've always loved the whole Anthropology/Archeology/All-Things-Morbid-and-Creepifying, so have the whole envy-turned-admiration going on (I want to be her, dammit! Well, actually I want to be Goodman, but let's not get picky).

I've always been more of a Lorax fan, myself.
