BONES’ TJ Thyne Previews Hodgins’ Relationship with the New Squintern: ‘He Doesn’t Want to Make it Easy on Anyone’

Tonight on BONES, Finn, the new squintern (played by Luke Kleintank) makes his debut, but unfortunately for him, not everyone is greeting him with open arms.

“I don’t know if Jack doesn’t get along with Finn, I just think Jack is that guy — and he’s done this with all of the interns — where he teases everyone who has come in, basically,” TJ Thyne (Hodgins) told me. “He doesn’t want to make it easy on anyone, and Hodgins is very protective of the team and the lab and he likes to get under these people’s skin.”...

'Bones': New squintern Luke Kleintank on the show's new 'dynamic duo.' Plus, EXCLUSIVE VIDEO

The death of Vincent Nigel-Murray last season was a devastating loss for the team at the Jeffersonian, but they’re on their way to filling the void with the addition of new squintern Finn Abernathy, who makes his debut on this Thursday’s episode.

“He’s good ole boy from the hills,” says actor Luke Kleintank, who in the past has appeared in several episodes of Gossip Girl and No Ordinary Family...

leriam10: Any little bit of news about Bones! I know a lot of spoilers have come out but I need more. Please!
Bones (Emily Deschanel) spends a lot of the season premiere in tears. But they aren't sad tears! Um, but they're not exactly happy tears either. Why don't you just check out the season seven premiere and let us know how you would specify those tears. And then in the second episode back, Bones gets very primal with Booth (David Boreanaz). And it's quite awesome.

SIDE DISHES

I have been REALLY looking forward to Bones’ new season but I am not pleased to hear that Brennan doesn’t invite Booth to an ultrasound where she finds out the gender of their baby. And not only that, she blabs to him this event + the sex of their baby at a yucky crime scene in the first 5 min of epi 2. Well that is a horrible memory association for Booth. Kinda of selfish/cold of Brennan imo…Explainy please Sandra — Jen
Wow. On paper this does sound bad, but trust me when I say she doesn’t mean to be cold. In fact, she spends much of the episode trying to understand the issue from Booth’s perspective, and eventually makes it up to him in a completely cute way by the end. Your excitement about the new season is totally warranted. The couple will deal with a lot of issues like the one you mention, but overall, you won’t be disappointed.

Bones baby: boy or girl? — Rita
ADAM: The show won't drag out the reveal — you will know whether the nursery will be pink or blue by Episode 2. (Booth won't exactly be thrilled by how and when he learns the news, especially since he wasn't even invited to the ultrasound!) And as for that nursery, there may not be one if Booth and Brennan can't get their acts together enough to decide where they want their family to live.

WARNING: REVEALS BABY'S GENDER, ETC.

skagengiirl: Anything that you can get on Bones, mainly Booth and Brennan? What is in their future?
Oh my, there is quite a bit ahead for these two. Within the first five minutes of the second episode, we learn that Bones (Emily Deschanel) didn't tell Booth (David Boreanaz) about a very important ultrasound, aka the one where you learn the sex of the baby. Not to worry, Brennan tries to make up for this oversight by attempting to see things through Booth's eyes, so she can better understand his emotional reactions. (Like wanting to be included in their daughter's future plans.) Oops, did we just let that slip?!

Jennifer: Thanks so much for the Bones scoop! I'm pumped for season seven!
Hold on there missy, we're not done dishing out season seven treats just yet! There's a new intern at the Jeffersonian who is absolutely brilliant at forensic science, but ain't real keen on fancy words or nothin'. While Brennan is pleased to have the new team member, Dr. Saroyan (Tamara Taylor) is having difficulty seeing beyond his criminal past.

Ask Ausiello: October 18

Question: I have a Bones Q. Does Brennan really have an ultrasound where she finds out the gender of the baby by herself and without informing Booth until after the fact? How could she take that moment away from him? She knows what being a dad means to him. I swear the writers want me to hate Brennan. She does this? Seriously heartless. —Danni
Ausiello: Simmer yourself. It’s more complicated than that. Besides, it all leads to one of my favorite B&B moments ever — one that would not have been possible had Booth been on hand for the initial reveal.

Question: I’m counting down the days until Bones returns on Nov. 3. Anything you can give me to tide me over? —Lauryn
Ausiello: There’s a scene in Episode 6 (a.k.a. the midseason finale) that was so revolting even exec producer Stephen Nathan couldn’t stomach it. And it takes a lot to gross out that guy. As a result, it was cut from the episode. “It was the body of a victim that was murdered,” he explains. “There was one angle where it looked like something from a medical journal. Totally gross. Not like our entertainingly revolting remains. It just looked too real. But never fear, there is much to close your eyes and shriek about in the episode.”

Another #Bones True/False Teaser : Bones: “The Hot Dog In The Competition”

Since the True and False teaser post I did for episode 701, ‘The Memories In The Shallow Grave,” of the new Bones season was such a hit with all you Bones fanatics (thanks for all the great comments!!), I thought I’d do the same with episode 702, “The Hot Dog in the Competition.” Having just watched it this morning, I am already feeling that this could be one of the strongest seasons of Bones to date. I may be setting myself up by saying that but the one concern – that having Booth and Brennan involved romantically would kill the show – is long gone having now seen these episodes and seeing how their relationship and impending baby is only adding more fun and layers to an already great show.

So, without further adieu….here are some True and False questions about “The Hot Dog In The Competition.”...

Ask Ausiello: October 11

Question: Any scoop on Bones? —Mahika
Ausiello: I’m a little behind on my Bones screeners — in case you didn’t hear, I visited the Smurfs’ homeland last week — but TVLine’s Matt Mitovich just watched Episode 2 and filed this report exclusively to AA:

“As much fun as the season opener is, I have to say that Episode 2 is even better. For one, the case of the week is much stronger and more compelling (and much more icky-gooey). Plus, you’ve got the addition of Luke Kleintank as Finn Abernathy, a good ol’ boy squintern whose scientific brilliance — a seeming clash with his omnipresent baseball cap and shaggy hair — drops even Brennan’s jaw, and who proves to be a very fun foil for Hodgins. Then, add on top of that even more sweet moments between Bones and Booth? Simply said, this pregnancy twist is the best thing to happen to the show in recent years. What we’re looking at is perhaps Bones at its very best. Oh, and did I mention the part where Temp discovers that years ago she helped prevent a murder? Cool stuff.”
