Due to panels starting late all day, the "Bones" panel received the short end of the stick and wasn't allowed their full 45 minutes. That meant the fan Q&A was limited to only the first few people, but the rest made their voices heard in other ways.
On with the live blog...
Representing the show is creator Hart Hanson and star Emily Deschanel.
3:16 p.m.- The panel starts off with a montage of some of the biggest gross-out moments, as well as some cute moments between the characters, including several Booth/Brennan moments that made the crowd go "awww."
3:20- David Boreanaz is unable to make today's panel due to his wife being 34 weeks pregnant. He sends over a video message to play for the crowd, where he proceeds to try and get some Emmy love for his work, shows off his wacky socks, and makes fun of Hart. Hart--who seems to be viewing this video for the first time with the crowd-- is laughing and embarrassed over David's impersonation of him. David clearly anticipated this and he says, "I see you Hart. You're sweating more!"
3:23- The moderator jumps right in to the panel by bringing up the controversial season finale. Some fans start booing when the moderator mentions the faux-sex. Others are glaring and making nasty comments to express their displeasure about the fake-out.
3:24- "I have learned my lesson with you people," Hart says about revealing spoilers.
3:25- David's not here, so before they delve further into the finale, Emily's going to poke fun of the way he says bullets. She says it drives her crazy. "Let's just bash on David Boreanaz!" she jokes.
3:26- But the topic of the finale won't go away. Hart defends it, saying, "I saw the season finale as a love letter to our loyal fans." With all due respect, based on the crowd reaction, it seemed to show that most fans in the room viewed it more as a break-up letter, than one of devotion.
3:27- Apparently the finale got the nickname "fail-nale" on Twitter. Hart does hope that in retrospect the finale becomes more likable to all fans. He says he thinks the real, loyal fans got the meaning behind the episode the first time around and that they appreciated it. The people around me disagree with that statement strongly.
3:29- "It's really tricky," Emily admits, on whether Booth and Brennan should get together. "It would be odd if Booth and Brennan were a married couple....it would definitely change the show." When the crowd is informally polled, they seem to be split over whether B/B should get together. "No" slightly gets a louder clap, but Emily notes that it seems that some people clapped for both votes.
3:30- Emily is asked about getting nekkid with David. "Woohoo," she cracks. "It's never a bad thing" stripping down with David Boreanaz.
3:32- When the shows comes back, they are picking up six weeks post-finale. The issue they are facing is whether Booth can return to work. A bigger issue for Booth is his mixed feelings towards Brennan. "Is he confused or is he actually reading his heart correctly?" Hart teased. Meanwhile, Brennan has taken off to Guatemala to escape from the complications of everything.
3:33- At the request of the moderator, Emily did the "dancing phalanges" hand movements from "The Baby in the Bough" to the amusement of the crowd.
3:35- David is scheduled to direct the 100th episode.
3:37- Emily is asked if she would ever like to direct, and she says she would. Hart tells her with the hours she works, it probably wouldn't work out. Emily points out that he's let David direct before.
After the crowd convinces Hart to let Emily direct, she jokes, "This is where I air out my dirty laundry!"
3:44- Hart reveals that a future episode brings the characters to a chicken farm.
3:45- After they say Jared will be returning, the crowd starts grumbling again. Emily defends the Jared relationship, noting that it did bring her closer to Booth. And as she points out "he was also the one [Booth] that asks me out!"
3:47- Aw, Emily throws Hershey kisses to the audience.
3:48- Fan asks who is the most squeamish cast member. Emily says Tamara is the most squeamish of the cast.
3:49- Biggest cheer of the panel is when a fan questions if Zack will be back. Unfortunately for "Bones" fans, Eric Millegan is moving back to New York, which means it'll now be even more difficult for him to pop up on the show.
3:50- A fan questions if the audience will ever know what Brennan wrote in her goodbye note when she thought she was about to die, in the season two episode "Aliens in a Spaceship." Hart reveals that episode five or six of this year is the trial of the Gravedigger. Most of the latest evidence in that case was blown up in "The Hero in the Hold", so it's very likely what Brennan wrote all those years ago will surface as evidence for the trial.
3:51- Emily says "boo" and pouts when they say the panel has run out of time. The Comic-Con worker in Ballroom 20 informs her that CCI is unfortunately not able to manufacture more time, so the panel is done.
