David Boreanaz, How's Your Brain?

Thanks to @Rebecca1158 who tweeted this to me. :) Kristin from E!Online wraps up the TCA Event.

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!

Feel free to comment on Kristin's post HERE or just leave a comment here. :) Or both. See how flexible I am?

'Bones' crossover scoop: First Stewie, now Lightman?

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?

HH Twitter 57: Music

Hart Hanson: Looking for music for episode 3 ... WOW! We have never ever been this classy before. Stephen Fry is rubbing off on BONES.

SN Twitter 23: Lunch or Plot?

Stephen Nathan: Hot and Sour Soup, Sizzling Rock Cod in Garlic and Black Bean Sauce. Lunch or plot point?

SN Twitter 22: A season of surprises

Stephen Nathan: A season of surprises. Isn't that what we really want? Those looks between Booth and Brennan have to mean something, right?

Carry Over?

In the alternate world that Booth (David Boreanaz) dreamed up in his comatose state in the controversial Bones season finale, he and Bones (Emily Deschanel) were a happily married couple, running a nightclub called the Lab with the cast of the characters from Bones showing up as varying alternate characters. We saw Sweets as a rock star, Angela as the nightclub hostess, Booth's brother Jared as a detective and more wackiness.

We all assumed it was a onetime dream sequence, right? Well, show runner Hart Hanson teased that they might have plans for some of those alternate storylines. He might just be messing with us, but check out what he has to say about that and what else he and Emily teased about next season...

"The [finale] was full of inside jokes. It was full of inside references. It was full of echoes and insights, I hope," said Hart during our Comic-Con chat with him last week. "And we're going to carry some of the things we discovered in that alternate world into the real world. It's kind of a bridge thing."

Keyword: some. Don't get your hopes up, though. That doesn't mean when the new season picks up, Booth and Bones will be a couple. As we reported last week from Comic-Con, it's still going to take a lot to really get these two together. Hart said he has a plan: "I do know. I'm not going to tell you. I do know if and when it happens [and] where it might happen."

As for that baby storyline, Emily said, "It's something that will probably be addressed in the next season." Hart added, "We have some other things to get past first before Brennan can get back to thinking about a child."

So we have possible alternate-world storylines coming next season, more back and forth with Booth and Bones, baby talk and, as we already reported, Cyndi Lauper plays a psychic in the first episode—and she may or may not have something to do with some buried bodies. What else? "We have an episode about Amish people that is really heartbreaking, actually," said Emily. Hart added, "And right now, David is scheduled to direct our 100th episode."

One last teaser for next season: "Episode five or six of this year is the trial of the Grave Digger, and not a lot of evidence survived," Hart told the panel audience of the episode where Bones and Hodgins were buried alive by the villain known as the "Grave Digger" and where she wrote a letter while underground. "It's very likely that what she wrote [in the letter] will surface as evidence in that case."

Oh, and if it were up to the real-life Bones, Kathy Reichs, next season would also feature a Bones/House crossover. Hart explained, "We're trying to get [Kathy] to write a script, and she always comes up with ideas like, 'I think we should go to the pyramids.' Or she'll go, 'I want to write the crossover with House.' That's her latest thing. [And we say] 'Oh, Kathy. That's not going to happen this year.' "

Tidbits from TJ Thyne on the Bones Set.

Started back on Season 5 of Bones, The LAB has a new look to it!!
The ANGELATOR is now a hang down flatscreen TV that looks like something out of MINORITY REPORT. JACK, after 5 years, is getting his own SPACE! how about that! no more cubby-hole. Jack is taking over the OOKEY ROOM. I didn't want to originally because I didn't feel Jack would move into Zacks space, hoping he would come back, but now after so many years without him returning, Jack is moving in there Bugs and all! We just did our Season 5 photo shoot the other day! Looks cool 3 setups. 1: an open grave, 2: an office 3: a poolhall.

SN Twitter 19: Episode Two

Stephen Nathan: Halfway through episode two and it looks great. Damn, these Canadian directors are good. Must be the cold.

Spoiler Chat with Kristin..Zack...

Milly in Miami: Will Eric Millegan be back on Bones?

Bones star Emily Deschanel and show runner Hart Hanson certainly hope so. "We kind of love Eric," Emily said at Comic-Con. "The answer is, yes, we'd love to have Zack back," added Hart. "If you want the boring producer answer, he's moving back to New York City to do some stage work. It's his first love." So keep your fingers crossed that the scheduling fairies will make some magic happen and bring Zack Addy back to the show. We love Eric too!

HH Twitter 56: Crossover!!!

Hart Hanson: Rumors today that we will be asked to do a very interesting cross-over episode. Hint: It ain't "Family Guy".

HH Twitter 55: Partners on and off screen

Q: Why wasn't ED told about DB directing? We fans heard about this in June! Do DB and ED not talk? This was a WTF moment for us :(

Hart Hanson: Absolutely Emily was told about David directing. They talk ALL the time. They are partners on and off screen.

HH Twitter 54: Teddy the Ghost maybe

Q: In Hero in the Hold, did Brennan see Teddy or did Booth think she saw him?Asking again to settle a little bet between loyal fans

Hart Hanson: I suppose the answer depends upon whether you believe in ghosts. If so, she may have seen Parker; if not, Booth only thought so.

Transcript:

[Sorry I can't be with all of you?] because I'm a little bit stuck in Los Angeles due to the fact that my wife is in her 34th week of delivering our second child. [He means she's still pregnant, but 34 weeks along.] And it's going to be a girl. And don't ask the name because I'm not going to give out any of that personal information. You know, it's funny because we were just doing this crazy scene back here, we were actually simulating the sunshine because the light was going down and we're here in Long Beach and there were about forty pussy cats--well, there were like ten, I'm exaggerating--but they were eating the dead body. And Bones and I--Special Agent Seeley Booth--walked up to the crime scene and noticed these pussy cats eating this body, so um, I leave you with more than a great season that's ahead of us. And I wish that I could be there on the panel because Hart is sweating bullets right now. If you look at his forehead, you'll see many more dripping down his forehead and ever so slightly, he'll start to talk faster and faster and when he starts to go faster and faster, he'll just start talking faster and faster and he'll become this kinda manic kind of a guy and become very hyperactive and he'll become confused and he'll start laughing and going up and down and he may even fall off the stage and Emily will just look. And stare. And take it all in. And be very calm. And peaceful. And if I were there, then I'd probably be making fart noises or attempting to throw water on somebody--I don't know--and answering your questions. Questions that you might have about.. oh, my socks maybe. That's always a good one. Always go to David's socks. That always works. I always have socks on. See here? I just wanna say thanks to fans and people who support the show. Because we wouldn't be able to do the things that we do without your support. And I know it's very important and I also wanna thank Fox for allowing us to come up and talk. I'm just gonna keep talking while Hart laughs and Emily, you know, just rolls her eyes and does stuff and maybe she'll just eclipse the background. I see you, Hart. You're sweating more. Have a glass of water. And, uh, I just wanna thank you. Thank you for allowing me to come into your lives and give you a character who is deeply deserving of AN AWARD. {cheering... he says something I can't hear} So think about it. I'm very proud of the show. [Very proud of the fans that I have... And actually, the executive producers of Lefty and Tony (???)] does is laughing and he's wanting me to wrap it up with that. Meanwhile, everyone just wants to go to lunch and I'm just gonna keep TALKING... You want me to stop bein'? OK. I'll stop. Thank you.

Hart Hanson & Emily Deschanel

After the polarizing season finale of "Bones," fans finally had their chance to let their opinions be known to the powers that be.

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.

EW Interview Hart Hanson & Emily Deschanel

Ausiello interview for Entertainment Weekly @ ComiCon 2009

(Thanks to Raquelle who sent the YT link.)

Hart Hanson & Emily Deschanel

Some interesting answers here folks!

Transcript:

Ausiello: Emily Deschanel, Hart Hanson, Bones. Thank you for coming.

ED: Thank you for having us. [looks at HH] We're sitting in the same position, except opposite.

HH:???

A: Yes, reconfigure.

ED: I was gonna change.

HH: Thanks, thanks. (sarcastically)

A: We good? We good?

ED: We're comfortable. I swear, very comfortable! How's this? Does this look natural?

A: Nice. I'm gonna ask you this question, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna get a straight answer.

ED: Uh-oh.

A: In the season premiere, do Booth and Brennan kiss?

ED looks at HH: The season premiere? Do Booth and Brennan kiss?

(a little exchange where Ausiello says that Emily can answer for herself.)

HH: It was scripted. It was scripted. Whether we shot or not I'm not saying.

A: OK.

ED: It was--

HH: Don't you say anything. (laughs)

A: An eye roll.

ED: I have a gag order apparently.

A: There was a little bit of a backlash (HH laughs sarcastically about the 'little bit') from fans about the finale, putting it mildly, about the sex scene that really wasn't... uh... Your thoughts about that? Are you gonna do a course correction early in the season and give them the scene that they have longed for?

HH: Wow is that a big question!

ED to HH: It's a big question. Um. There was a backlash from the season finale. I think that everything is answered in the season opener. We go on from there. Are we giving people what they want? Do people really know what they want, Michael? Do they? Or is it our job to provide for them as close to what we can of we we think they really want?

A: People really know what they want.

(Hart cracks up, "And we don't know what they want!")

ED: I think they probably want more, but it's a difficult thing to give them more, but it's tricky. We kind of knew that would happen from the season finale. We were giving them something--you got to see Booth and Brennan as a couple, which is, I guess, what people want eventually, but they want more from the love scene, which is understandable. I would've probably wanted more as a viewer. But it's probably good to keep wanting more, but we'll probably have to give them something in not so long, right? I don't know. (Looks at Hart.... he looks cheeky.)

HH: Yes, yes. We have to deal with this. We will.

ED: This is the only thing, this is probably our only conversation about this now, right? But it will. It will be addressed. But yes, things will be explained--different things are addressed in the season opener of season five for sure, but you know, we probably will continue to figure things out.

HH: That was a good answer. I should just let her talk right form the beginning.

ED: It's one of those things. Some people were disappointed by things and some people were happy to see the characters together. And people who watch the show regularly, I think, appreciated the kind of alternate reality--And there's, like, inside jokes in there--And so, people appreciated that. And we knew that we were kind of pissing people off--

HH: In retrospect, I'd say that the season finale went off really well with our loyal, loyal viewers. So, then you ask yourself what percentage of your viewers are those loyal, loyal viewers and it's not the vast majority.... I'd say it probably shouldn't have been our season ender... The idea was, this is the end of season four, this is for our loyal viewers who have followed us all over the schedule and have been with us for four years. It was kind of for them. They liked it. Not everyone liked it.

Emily Deschanel & Hart Hanson Video - ComicCon 2009

Thanks to ThunderGodess for posting!

HH (about the finale sex): We may have to put it on a DVD someday. {applauds all around} No, you have the wrong idea. {laughter} Because at points it's extremely romantic and hot and sexy, but in other points it's David and Emily like trying to pretend that they're feeling hot and romantic and sexy. So it's actors going into a place and coming out of it, going to a place and coming out of it--

ED: It's not "going to a place". {laughter}

HH: Oh, she is so bad. She's bad. {probably this is the only place in the world where this wouldn't be considered sexual harassment from your boss lol}

ED: You're the one that said it. {ED fakes a Canadian accent here:} I'm sorry, I'm sorry. {laughter}

HH: {??} The in and out is very amusing and we might put it on a DVD someday.

ED: I'm not commenting on what you just said.

Announcer: So what happens now? What we do know is that Booth--he's in the hospital bed, he's not sure if you're his regular Brennan or if you're the one in his dream Brennan--

ED: If we're married or if I'm the Brennan that he knew before -- He wakes up very confused from this coma--I think that your phone is ringing.

Announcer: Oh-- It's David. Stop talking about him.

ED: He's confused--Whoever saw the season finale, um, "Are you the woman who {???} married, or are you Brennan in my real life?" {She interrupts HH} But basically--I'm sorry--

HH: Which version, which version of the human being is very confusing.

ED: It gets confusing because they have the same name, for me who's trying to play it. So, he's confused and we pick up six weeks later in the--

HH: Six weeks. Six weeks later.

ED: Are we even allowed to say that?

HH: Yeah, yeah. We say, six weeks later, is Booth going to go back to work and is he ready? And how much of that confusion remains and is it conducive?--are the questions that we'll try to answer in the season opener. Is he confused or is he actually reading his heart correctly? {Says something I don't understand here--7 syllable rhetorical question of some sort.}

ED: Do you think they'll like it? {???}

HH: Oh yeah (???).

ED: So, it's six weeks later and Brennan has just kind of taken off for Guatemala, just kind of avoiding the situation. And she gets back, or I get back, however you wanna say it, so that's where it starts off. Six weeks after the last season ended and there may still be confusion {laughs}.

Announcer: There's also the matter of Booth's friend's sperm because you wanted to be a mom. Could you do the dancing phalanges?

ED: Dancing phalanges! {laughter, applause. ED is adorable.}

Announcer: So is she still committed to becoming a mom?

HH looks smug.

ED: Um... {looks to HH} you wanna talk about it?

HH: Don't answer.

Announcer: Oh!

HH: Or lie, or tell the truth. Which ever one you want.

{someone in the audience says, "Aww."}

ED: It's something that probably will be addressed... in the next season...? {laughter at her misdirect}

Announcer: Early in the season, or, uh...?

HH: We have some other things to get past before Brennan is back to thinking about having a child. I think it was very meaningful that the moment Booth was um, reticent about having a child with Brennan that maybe the hurry was dropped away, too.

ED: Very telling.

HH: Very telling.

What the Heck Is Going On?

"Dream sequences do not count!"

Thus was the angry shout-out by an audience member after today's Bones panel moderator (Entertainment Weekly's William Keck) asked show creator Hart Hanson if getting Bones and Booth "between the sheets" was done just to give the fans what they wanted.

Other audience members booed at the words "between the sheets" clearly expressing their disappointment that the ill-received season finale hook-up between Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) was just a dream. "No it was the plan to have that happen," said Hart about whether he felt pressured by fans to hook these two characters up. "I saw the season finale as a love letter to our very, very loyal fans." Really?

Yes, really. Read on...

Season Finale Backlash: "I hope in retrospect the season finale will become more and more likable to our loyal fans," he continued. "Though, I think the loyal fans got it. The people who tune in every once in awhile didn't like it as much. And, I definitely heard about it." At least Hart has a good sense-of-humor about the backlash, saying that he received some tweets from fans calling the finale a "fail-naly." He found that funny and so do we. "I think it was somewhat anticipated on a level. We knew that some people would be upset," Emily told us after the panel. "It's a tricky thing."

Should They or Shouldn't They?: When they polled asked the audience if they wanted to see Booth and Bones hook up for real on the show, the audience applause was tremendous. That was until they then asked the audience if they did not want to see them hook up and the applause was even louder, to which Emily joked, "I feel like there was double voting going on there too."

So, will they or won't they is still the big question for this 'ship. "I think they are two people that do belong together," said Emily. "I think they complement each other in great ways. I would love to see them together. But I do see that it's dangerous. It's tricky because you don't want to lose the sexual tension between us."

That said, she admits, "It would be odd if Booth and Brennan were a married couple. It would definitely change the show, but it's something that we've thought long and hard about. I don't know. I think I'd like to see them together, but maybe really together toward the end."

After the panel, Hart told us that he does know if the two will get together for real or not, but, of course, he's not going to share his plans. "Can I say, it's penciled in?" he joked. Sure. It's about the journey not the end result, right?

Where in the World is David Boreanaz?: What's David got to say about it? Unfortunately he couldn't make the panel, but he sent a videotaped message to the fans to explain why: "I'm a little bit stuck in Los Angeles due to the fact that my wife is on the 34th week of delivering our second child. It is going to be a girl."

Next Season Teasers: It's not yet determined if we'll get another sex scene this season. We're guessing no. But Hart did say of the finale sex scene: "I have the raw footage. We may have to put it on a DVD some day." What we do know about the next season is that it picks up six weeks later and after Bones returns from a trip to Guatemala. We also know that her baby plans are on hold and that Booth is still in a state of confusion at the season opener.

Also coming up next season is guest star Cyndi Lauper, who plays a psychic who is involved in a case and also gives her insight on the pair. ("Yeah, she may see me with a certain man," teased Emily.) And, yes, the casting came about after Emily sang Cyndi's '80s hit "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" on a previous episode. "That's what Cyndi saw and got in touch with us and said she'd like to be on the show. She's in the season opener," said Hart.

Let the debate continue in the comments below: Should Booth and Bones really be together or not?

When Dr. Brennan and Agent Booth first meet LENA, she explains that she hired Yuri Antanov as a courier for her diamond company. She says Antanov was supposed to be carrying a briefcase holding $2 million worth of gems from Siberia into the United States for some of her clients. Instead he was killed by CIA analyst Greg Dorit who in turn took the briefcase of diamonds and hid it. As it turns out Miss BRODSKY is actually responsible for the torture and murder of Dorit, whom she’d hoped would give her information regarding the whereabouts of the aforementioned briefcase – which held something far more dangerous to U.S. national security than diamonds sptv050769 … GUEST STAR.

Possible Spoiler: Heiroglyphics

Thanks to @_fallen_one_ on Twitter.

I'm not sure why "Jon from Bones" would post such a huge piece of Bones information on the internet. Perhaps he didn't expect a Bones fan to find it, but this should really be interesting. I'm posting it as a 'possible spoiler' since there's no real way to determine that Jon really is who he says he is:


Hello all. My name is Jon and I work as a researcher for the FOX television show BONES. I'm not sure if you're familiar with our program, but it centers around a forensic anthropologist and her FBI partner. It's my job to make sure we're as accurate as possible with the shows we produce.

For an upcoming episode, we're hoping to translate hieroglyphics. I thought someone here might be able to do this or perhaps point me to someone that could help us with this task.

When we find the ancient hieroglyphics, we need them to say: “My heart bleeds for my innocent son.” And it should be signed by the Pharaoh's wife. Is there anyway you can describe what it might look like? Anything at all you could offer here? We want to be as realistic as possible and truly appreciate any help you can provide. Would we just spell out every letter? Does the fact that it's a Pharaoh's wife change it at all?

Again, thank you for ANYTHING you might be able to tell us here.

Best

Jon

Spoilerfix Sides Summary

You can read the summary that Spoilerfix.com wrote up of the sides HERE. It's not really worth reposting since it's just a summary of what we've read, but if you're curious, it's there for your reading pleasure!

Season 4 DVD & Details

Several weeks ago we reported that Amazon.com had begun taking advance orders for s for Bones - Season 4 on both DVD and high-def Blu-ray Disc. No release date was available at the time, though, because the studio had not formally announced the title. Today, however, Fox Home Entertainment told retailers that the title, in both formats, had been officially put on the schedule for October 6th.

The DVD is a 6-disc set presented in anamorphic widescreen video. Audio is listed as "English: 5.0 Dolby Digital"...that's right, it says "5.0" instead of "5.1" (hopefully this is a typo). Subtitles are in English, French and Spanish. Bonus material starts with Extended Episodes (in addition to the aired versions) of "The Perfect Pieces in the Purple Pond," "The Doctor in the Den" and "The Girl in the Mask". Other extras will be Deleted Scenes, a Gag Reel, plus 2 Featurettes: "Androgeny: Playing Haru Tanaka" and "Squints in Training".

The Blu-ray is a 5-disc set with the same content, presented in high definition widescreen video, 5.1 DTS HD Master Audio and subtitles in French and Spanish. Running time of the Blu-ray is specified to be 1174 minutes.

Hart Hanson: Who decides on spoilers? Everyone but us. We hate 'em. Hate being asked about what's going to happen. Hate sides going out.

Hart Hanson: A few minor issues with our new camera system (blind, horrific panic...) but it's all working out due to a balance of prayer and curses

Is Bones coming back this fall? — Byerley

MATT: Well of course it is, on Thursday, Sept. 17. And if only because I had Eddie McClintock (now star of SyFy's Warehouse 13) dropping by for a video Q&A, I reached out to Bones boss Hart Hanson to see if Eddie's Special Agent Tim Sullivan might ever reenter Temp's life. "We've always thought he might return one day, dead or alive. I prefer alive, actually," Hanson told the Buzz. McClintock in turn told me, "I had such a great time with Emily [Deschanel] and David [Boreanaz], so for Hart to say that makes me happy. I would love to [do Bones again]." Hmm, W13 did just wrap production on Season 1....

Stephen makes me crazy. Clues to Bones or real world events....

SN Twitter #4: Jeffersonian and Money

Stephen Nathan tends to speak in cryptic code. So, trying to figure out if he is giving clues or being silly and witty is a challenge.

You'd think an organization like the Jeffersonian would have all the money in the world.

Is he talking about budget for the show as Hart did in a tweet today? Or scripts?

HH Twitter 14: AUDITIONS

Hart Hanson: Ah, God, AUDITIONS! You can see it as bringing great joy to one actor or bringing great pain and rejection to several. My karma is crap.

Possible auditions for the sides we saw last week?

SN Twitter #3: Doomed Intern????

Stephen Nathan tends to speak in cryptic code. So, trying to figure out if he is giving clues or being silly and witty is a challenge.

Lose an intern? God, no...

Do we have a doomed intern??????

Will B&B smooch in the season premiere?

The much-hyped Booth/Brennan sex scene which turned out to be little more than a figment of someone's imagination came and went a couple months ago, but the cast of "Bones" is now back at work and we're starting to hear a bit of intel on the upcoming fifth season premiere.

Will fans have a reason to smile again? Think so.

First of all, Booth's amnesia? Not really an issue, at least not in the traditional sense. Apparently, when Booth asked Brennan who she was in May's finale, he didn't mean to imply that he didn't remember her. Apparently Booth just wasn't sure whether she was his partner, Bones, or his wife/baby mama from the hallucination/alternate reality he experienced while drugged up.

Because of his confusion, we're hearing Booth will continue to struggle with romantic feelings for the good Dr. B throughout the season premiere and may even kiss her after rescuing her from a dangerous situation.

Aww...

But just because B/B are sort of taking steps forward in their relationship, there's no reason to think they'll be back in the bedroom anytime soon. Executive producer Hart Hanson has already said that there won't be any sex between them this season... a pretty daring statement to fans, many of whom are still bitter about getting blue balled by the season finale.

However, Hart and his cohorts were the ones who insisted the finale sex scene would be real, so it's certainly possible that the whole "no sex this season" stuff could just be another bait-and-switch to prevent the surprise from being ruined.

Thoughts?

Oh and p.s., on the non-relationship front, EW.com is reporting that Cydni Lauper will be making her "Bones" debut during the season premiere as a psychic who attempts to help Booth and the squints solve a murder. Anyone else hoping this inspires Brennan to do an encore performance of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"?

HH Twitter 13: Noah Hawley back to Bones?

Hart Hanson: Rumor has it pal Noah Hawley (THE UNUSUALS) made a nice deal with ABC studios for two more projects. Now we'll never get him back on BONES.

Transcript: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. And a guest spot on Bones. As I first hinted a few months back, Cyndi Lauper will guest star on the September 17th episode as Angela's psychic. In the episode, Cyndi Soothsayer tells Angela where to find a mass burial, immediately making her one of the prime suspects. Did she do it? Or is she just a really good psychic? C'mon, the song was called "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" not "Girls Just Wanna Have Gun". C'mon, the song was called "Money Changes Everything" not "Murder Changes Everything." C'mon, The song was called "She Bop" not "She Get a Gun and Shoot You in the Head... and then Burial You with a Bunch of Other People."

HH Twitter 11: Blake Bashoff to guest star?

Q: so about BLAKE BASHOFF. he needs to be on Bones. Please. Preferably a large role, so I can see his pretty face

Hart Hanson: Blake and I go back to "Judging Amy" days. I think he'd be good on BONES too. We'll see how the universe unfolds.

Possible Season V Spoilers

It's been a while since I've been to the BY. And it seems that bearcubsfan has been talking to his/her inside source again. And there have been some interesting things that this person said. Since they're not official spoilers, don't pee your pants yet (or do... but just go down a hot slide a few times and nobody will notice!). bearcubsfan is quoted as saying that this source said, "This year is going to be them working their way toward each other and getting ready to be together. They are going to make steps forward slowly and surely and it won't be easy for either of them. By the end of this season they will have made a major move or two." When I first saw this, I didn' t think too much of it, but after the release of the sides for the premiere, I'm inclined to take note of this. bearcubsfan also says, "Both of them are going to struggle with it, not only with are they ready to be with the other but how it will affect their partnership and friendship." That sounds like a very logical and realistic transition in their relationship. You can read that post here.

In another post, bearcubsfan is quoted saying of her friend at Fox that, "All she's been told is that there will be a MAJOR development on Bones that will be heavily promoted in November. She works for a local station and they are getting some heads up for the fall season." You can read that particular post here.

Remember to take these types of spoilers lightly, but this might just give you something to nosh on for the next 75 days.
