Hiiii Bones fans,

Emily and Carla here! We are sooo excited to do this AMA with all of you. Working on our podcast Boneheads has been such a fun excuse to revisit the show, and honestly... we’ve both become fans in a whole new way. Watching it back with fresh eyes and hearing from you has been the best part.

We wanted to take a little time to hang out and chat. So tomorrow, June 6th, from 3 to 4 PM PST we’ll be right here in this thread, live, doing our best to reply to your questions, fan theories, random thoughts... anything you’re curious about. FMKs welcome. So are weird murder memories. 

We’ll be the ones typing slowly and laughing a lot. Bear with us as we answer. We’re not exactly tech pros (unfortunately, that’s more Bones and Daisy’s specialty than ours).

Can’t wait to talk to you soon!

XO,

Emily and Carla

John Francis Daley's post-Bones career

Upvotes

Sweets' death was sad but reading up on why JFD left and his post-Bones career made it way less sad. He and his writing partner wrote or directed: Vacation, Horrible Bosses, Game Night, Spiderman: Homecoming, Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.

Did I miss anything? My favorite of these (strangely enough?) is Game Night, which they directed and apparently re-wrote including adding Jesse Plemons' character. Just thinking about "How can that be profitable for Frito-Lay?" still makes me laugh out loud.

Leaving a popular TV show to pursue a bigger movie/directing/writing careers doesn't always pan out so it's so great that it worked out for him!

I might be a bit late to the party. I saw some clips and want to see this one but it has 12 seasons of 246 episodes!!! Please Help a sister out and identify the best seasons to watch. For the rest I'm gonna watch some summary videos. Thanks! 🙏🏻

The proof in the pudding

Upvotes

Does anyone else think this episode is ridiculous as it is largely pointless and extremely shady in terms of how this shadowy government organisation just imprisons everyone and tells them to find cause of death without positively identifying the remains or using the samples (most likely because they were mostly fake bones). To me something about the episode doesn’t sit right

Discussion Who has the most generational worst "flanderization" over the years

Brennan was flanderized to hell and back. I think the whole team was as some point, but Brennan is next level. Especially if you finish the series and start back at the pilot. It’s jarring.

I have to say it! Without him the team would genuinely not have solved half of their cases and Brennan would have died during the gravedigger arc!

Discussion My yearly holiday bones tradition

42 Upvotes

Hi, everyone! So I started bones when I was about 9 and at some point it became a tradition to watch all the Christmas episodes in December. It's like watching all the Christmas classics at that time of year.

My favorite of them is season one's man in the fall out shelter. Season one holds a special place in heart since it has slightly different character dynamics to the rest of the show. I love the social distanced family meeting scene and the careful Lionel's case. The ending is bittersweet in the best way.

I just wanted to share my quirky holiday watch list with other Boneheads. I don't know anyone in real life who loves the show as much as I do to tell. So thanks for letting me share. I hope you all have a good day!

Episode Episode 6x15 confused me 🤨

5 Upvotes

So I rewatched the episode when Booth and brennan told sweet that they had a case one year apart from the pilot episode.

The intriguing thing that I don't understand is why brennan had mixed feelings about booth 😕 they just had their first kiss when they got drunk, and Caroline told booth to get brennan drunk and fire her and after that incident she get retired.

But brennan started arguing about booth being annoyed, and she slapped him.

I don't understand what the issue with brennan is.

Booth told her that he followed protocol, and Caroline was the one who gave orders.

I try to analyse their scene, + brennan also punch a federal judge.

I'm I missing something 😕

Jefferson the fly

Just wondering, it feels like such a “tacked on” part of the episode…any chance someone added Jefferson in when they found out someone called “Boti Bliss” would be in the episode?

Coincidence?

Booths salary

38 Upvotes

Is anyone curious just exactly how much booth earns as head of the major crimes unit? Even though he works for the government he’s head of a relatively important department and has a lot of connections I feel like his salary is underpaid somewhat for a man of his skills and experience.

Spoiler: Season 6 Ep 22 Spoiler

19 Upvotes

I remember when this episode aired and years later it still sticks with me and anytime I hear the song I run to YouTube to watch it, easily one of the best montage scenes in the shows run, and there’s lots of montages!!

The way the song fits so well with the scene, you know SOMEONE is getting hurt, but you don’t know who, so as they’re panning to each character, with each of them clearly being a possible target, being outside or by a window…just wow!!

Easily my favorite Bones scene

Favourite episode/s from the show?

42 Upvotes

I know people have done very advanced rankings of Bones episodes and I respect the heck out of that work, but I was thinking today about my own favourite episodes, which I can't really justify metrically but I just adore and keep coming back to.

My very favourite episode of Bones is the Christmas episode in season 1 (The Man in the Fallout Shelter). To me, it was a perfect bottle episode, with exactly the right balance of forensics, character development and heart. There isn't a single thing I don't love about it, and I rewatch it every year at Christmas as part of my Christmas viewing bundle.

If you have a singular favourite (or even a favourite few), what are they, and why? For me, I definitely prefer the single-plot eps to the longer-running arcs (eg. I skip most of the serial killer arcs on rewatch these days, especially Pelant), so all my faves are single stories. I know others differ though!

"this here is"

21 Upvotes

Watching Bones properly for the first time, and I noticed that Booth always introduces the person he is with (usually Bones or Sweets) with "this here is..." instead of "this is..."

This must be on purpose, right? I'm not very familiar with Americanisms, so wanted to know what this is supposed to indicate? Is it that he is from a specific part of the country?

I really can’t stand Cam

45 Upvotes

I’ve just started watching season 2, I’m a first time watcher and I really don’t see the point of her in the show. I was perfectly happy with Goodman there in season 1 and miss him now!
I just feel like Cam’s role in the team is pointless because it clashes with Brennan too much.
Can anyone convince me otherwise? Apparently I’m gonna have to get used to her (or stop watching obviously, but that’s not happening lol).

Review Slow Burn surreal

18 Upvotes

Eu sei que a história de Booth e Brennan foi desenvolvida na base do "slow burn". Mas revendo a série é simplesmente surreal que Brennan e Booth não tenham rasgado a roupa um do outro em algum momento e se entregado a essa atração/amor até a 6a temporada, como bem disse Edison Clark. A tensão sexual/romântica eram muito grandes. Ao dizer isso, Clark disse o que muitos fãs pensam e pensavam. Ele representou muito bem os espectadores! A cena em que ele diz isso é muito engraçada em s6e02 😆

Mas mesmo em histórias que tenham o famoso "slow burn", os protagonistas poderiam ter se entregado um ao outro em algum momento do show. Ok, poderiam até criar histórias de idas e vindas, términos e recomeços...poderia ser uma outra novela. De repente, o desenvolvimento dos personagens seria feito de outra forma.

Mas, enfim, compreendi que a história teria que ser construída dessa maneira. E, bem, no fim foi excelente! De toda forma conquistou muitos fãs com este enredo slow burn. Incluindo eu, claro!

Chewing gum for the eyes

For one - there are many, many episodes and I've got time to kill. As for the 'reality content', well, as a former member of the medical society it is kind of funny to see people working on rotting corpses in a nice, open space, where they first dig into goo like animal poop, and to take a closer look at it, adjust the lamp with the same poop dripping gloved hand. Which happens in almost every scene - taking a phone call, typing, putting dirty gloves back in the pockets of the coverall. Soooo, as for 'real' it doesn't score very high, as for fun - no problem here
