BONES: Michael Peterson Previews Betty White’s Guest Spot

Betty White is making her BONES debut in the October 22nd hour, “The Carpals in the Coy-Wolves,” and the writers found themselves with a teeny tiny problem when it came time to penning the hour.

“You can’t write an episode with Betty White in it, and not let every single actor be in a scene with her,” BONES co-showrunner Michael Peterson laughed. “You would have had mutiny on your hands. So it was very carefully crafted. We had to make sure, where’s Booth with her? Where’s Brennan? Where’s Angela? Cam, Hodgins, everybody, to give them that moment.”

BONES: Emily Deschanel on Kim Raver’s Character and Defending Booth

As reported earlier in August, Kim Raver is part of a 2-episode arc on BONES this year—and the arc happens to be the first two episodes of the year. The show is treating the two episodes as a two-part premiere. The first episode airs tonight on Fox at 8 PM and the second next Thursday night.

There are other teaser posts about the premiere, and after the episode, we’ll have a post-mortem with co-showrunner Michael Peterson and my episode recap, so I won’t say too much more here, except to say that I really loved Raver’s turn as Agent Grace Miller.

Her character does butt heads with several other characters we know and love, but that is what I enjoyed about it. I think BONES does a great job integrating new characters (Aubrey being a good example), but for the most part, the new characters quickly come into alignment with the existing themes/characterizations that exist in the BONES-universe. Agent Miller challenges the audience’s perspective of Booth.

On paper, it’s true—he is a bit of a mess, he has suffered tremendous trauma, he can be dangerous, and he presents a risk. But for those characters who know him (and us in the audience), Booth’s track record doesn’t speak to his entire character. I came away from the first two episodes liking the idea that the real Booth is somewhere in the middle—not the guy in an FBI dossier against him, but also not as perfect or pure as some of the characters (and again us in the audience) make him out to be either.

On a recent conference call, I asked BONES star Emily Deschanel (Brennan) what it was like to work with Raver and what it was like to interact with a character who didn’t know Booth quite so well… Read more

BONES: ‘The Donor in the Drink’ Photos

It’s no secret that BONES star David Boreanaz (Booth) is a full-time cast member for the show’s 11th season, so it’s with only the very slightest of spoiler warnings that I give you photos from the third episode of the season.

As you may know, the first two episodes of BONES’ newest season focus on the search for a MIA Booth. But by episode 3, things are (seemingly) back to normal, with Booth and Brennan investigating a case.

Check out some photos from “The Donor in the Drink”…

BONES: ‘The Brother in the Basement’ Photos

In the second part of the BONES season premiere (airing October 8th), Booth is still MIA, so Brennan and company have some questions for Kim Raver’s Agent Miller about some information she may have.

Check out some photos from “The Brother in the Basement”…

BONES returns Thursday, October 1st at 8 PM on Fox.

BONES’ Tamara Taylor Teases Booth’s Premiere Disappearance: ‘It’s Not Looking Good’

When BONES returns for its eleventh season premiere in five weeks, one key member of the team will be MIA: Booth — who, along with Brennan, left DC to get a fresh start at the end of season 10 — has completely vanished.

“The season opener hits pretty hard; [Booth]’s disappeared,” BONES star Tamara Taylor (Cam) teased. “The entire gang is besides themselves. Needless to say Dr. Brennan is a mess. It’s all about finding out what happened to him, where he is, and what he’s into. It’s not looking good.”

Complicating matters is the fact that Booth had a gambling relapse before he left DC.

BONES: Kim Raver Lands Pivotal Two-Episode Arc

The mystery of how BONES is going to work Booth and Brennan back to the Jeffersonian/FBI has taken an intriguing twist: 24 star Kim Raver has been cast as FBI Special Agent Grace Miller — who is involved in “the investigation surrounding the disappearance of FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth.” Raver will appear in the first two episodes of the season.

It seems Booth and Brennan’s life away from DC has taken a twist. The duo left their home at the end of season 10 for a fresh start (of sorts), with a new baby on the way, and newly reconciled after Booth’s gambling addiction relapse.

BONES: Michaela Conlin Teases Angela’s Decision in ‘The Life in the Light’

As BONES heads towards the end of its tenth season, two key team members may be saying goodbye to the Jeffersonian.

For years, Angela has struggled with where she should be, career-wise, and in tonight’s penultimate hour, “The Life in the Light,” Hodgins presents his wife with a life-changing offer.

“We’ve been building up to this a little bit,” BONES star Michaela Conlin (Angela) acknowledged. “We’ve seen she’s conflicted about the kind of work they’re been doing for so many years. I think this time it’s less about her — I think a couple of seasons ago, it was about her journey, and what she wanted, and how she didn’t feel like she was being fulfilled as an artist. Now I think it’s about how she wants to raise her child, and the environment [the family] is in; I think it’s more of a family decision.”

But even if Angela takes Hodgins up on his offer, in the more immediate future, she’s worried about her best friend. (Angela and Brennan actually share arguably their best friendship scene of the series in tonight’s hour.)
