Emily Deschanel Talks Bones' Past and Future

Thanks for the link, WillySpooky!

The Bones star discusses the premiere, fan debate over last season's finale and more.

US, September 16, 2009 - Bones has turned into a solid hit for FOX since it began four years ago, and goes into Season 5 with a major boon and reward of sorts - a rare two-season pickup, which will take it through Season 6.

I recently spoke to Bones star Emily Deschanel, to chat about all the busy goings on for the series right now. Among the topics we discussed were this week's season premiere, interacting with viewers at Comic-Con and the fan controversy over the imagined events from last season's finale – which teased the 'will they or won't they' vibe between Deschanel's Temperance Brennan and David Boreanaz's Seeley Booth by showing them as a married couple, only to reveal it was Booth's coma-induced fantasy.

But it's nice to think about having another season after this, and even having this whole season… It is definitely comforting, especially in this day and age when so many people are out of work and so many things are unstable and up in the air...
