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 [sic] his own kitchen sink. So I have to have to revisit things that Booth is very good at," he said.
This re-learning 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 cast member is leaving. He meant a regular squint (er, that would mean colleague).
Which squint would you be sad to see go? Do you think the finale was coma-induced or from Brennan's novel? Do you like Booth's storyline? Discuss!
