Watching Bones

If you were as excited to see Michaela Conlin in Enchanted as I was, and then saw the movie and the teeny, tiny little part that she had, you were probably every bit as disappointed as I was. However, with the release of the DVD, we are privy to the “extras” that have become such a staple to our home movie viewing pleasure.

In this short clip, the guy explains that they cut the scene because they didn’t think it was needed. Okay, sure, whatever. But, if you’ve seen the movie - SPOILER COMING IF YOU HAVEN’T - this really goes along well with the end scene!

There may have been many, many complaints from us Bones fans about the way the season ended. There was much we felt was left our or unexplained to our satisfaction, however we can’t completely disown the final episode. It most definitely had it’s redeeming moments that were classic of the Bones we know and love.

Sure, the Booth-is-dead thing could have made an entire episode in itself, but hey, they were pressed for time. Sure, we could have done with a few more episodes to build up and/or help explain how in the world Zach converted to a cold-blooded killer, and what the heck happened to him while he was in Iraq, but hey, they were pressed for time. It really sucks that so much great storyline got tossed due to the strike that seems to still be biting us in the butt even after it’s over. But, like I said, our show is still around, and although it’s back on hiatus until the fall, we were left with some gratifying scenes. Don’t believe me? Maybe you don’t remember this one…

Did anyone else notice he was reading a Green Lantern comic book? The character he voiced in the new Jusitce League movie?

Or how about this one? Repressed feelings anyone? I don’t think anyone except maybe Bones and Booth don’t know these two are meant to be together (and that would mostly be because of denial and repression!)

These are just two of some of the great moments from the season finale. I guess the best part is that we have next season to look forward to.

In honor of David’s birthday, I thought I’d share a blooper reel that as Boreanaz fans you should enjoy. Sure, it’s bloopers of Angel, but hey, Boreanaz is Boreanaz. And besides, it’s hilarious! I think my absolute favorite is the shots of him dancing. I can’t even begin to describe it - you’ve got to watch for yourself. I’d love to see him in a comedic role. Not Adam Sandler goofy, but something where he could have a lot of fun in. (I’m sure he has plenty of fun on Bones, but you know what I mean.) He looks like he would definitely make the set a great place to be!

If you’d prefer to stay on topic with Bones bloopers, be sure to check out the video I posted back in March. Definitely a must-see. Plenty of Boreanaz goofiness, and of course he’s joined by the rest of the cast!

I realize the episode has already aired, but I always enjoy seeing the actors talk about their work and give us some behind-the-scenes info. It’s just kind of neat to see how they work together to give us the finished product that we see every Monday night.

Here’s a quick interview from Emily Deschanel about the episode The Wannabe in the Weeds. She talks about having nightmares that made her a little “jittery” about singing. She also mentions that she and David Boreanaz are Idol fans. Brandon Rogers also talks briefly about having met Deschanel and Boreanaz previously.

And here’s a quick video interview with Emily and then Emily and David together. I love their chemistry - the fact that they work hard on the show is benefited so much from the fact that they’re also friends. They talk about David giving Emily pointers and “notes” about the singing she does in the episode. Guess his previous karaoke experience came in handy here…

We got to see Emily Deschanel sing recently on The Wannabe in the Weeds episode of Bones where our dynamic duo starred alongside of two American Idol former stars. Too bad we didn’t get a chance to see David Boreanaz up on stage showing his vocal talents! However, if you’re a fan of Angel, that’s something you got the chance to experience in several episodes when Boreanaz’s character Angel sang karaoke for an empath demon so he could get information about an innocent.

So it’s not the same as seeing Agent Booth sing (that’s for sure) but it’s still a sight to see. Although you can immediately tell there are huge differences in the two roles in question, I just thought I’d share the video for those of you unfamiliar with David’s past karaoke experience. And for those of us who’ve already enjoyed it, well, here it is again for your listening (and comedic) pleasure!

Tonight’s episode looks like it’s going to be another great one! Not only are we going to see several American Idol contestants on the show, but more interestingly, it looks like we’re going to get to see Bones sing!

According to the write-up on Fox’s site, tonight’s episode will guest-star Ace Young and Brandon Rogers from American Idol.

“Brennan and Booth probe the murder of an aspiring young singer, Tommy Sour (former AMERICAN IDOL contestant Ace Young), whose body was discovered on a rural roadside. They investigate the singer’s many fans and foes in the music circuit, and, in particular, one obsessed woman who redirects her affections toward Booth after Tommy’s death. As the team searches to find out who silenced Tommy once and for all, a shocking occurrence may change the Jeffersonian team forever as one member is caught in the line of fire in “The Wannabe in the Weeds” episode of BONES airing Monday, May 12″

There are several videos available to see quick preview clips of tonight’s episode, a few that I didn’t post because they were mainly musical performances (and not Booth’s or Bones’s). The funny part about those clips is seeing Booth cringe and say that some of the people actually think they’re good. Sounds true to life to the real American Idol!

It also looks like we’ll get to see more of Sweets. I love his lines about being mocked (by Booth). Poor guy. Can’t get any respect!

And Bones lets on that we should expect a great performance from her, because her mother told her that she sang better than Cyndi Lauper. Because moms always tell you the honest truth…

Don’t miss it!

Oh, and Happy belated Mother’s Day!

Not really sure if this counts as a spoiler, so I didn’t post the uber-huge black and red “spoiler logo” - so please be warned. Really, this is just the preview for this coming Monday’s episode The Baby in the Bough, so it shouldn’t be anything terribly spoil-y about it, unless you don’t even watch the previews. In which case, you get the drift.

Seems like going “green” is the latest thing - but it’s definitely a fad that is worth while and I wouldn’t mind seeing it stick around! Fox network is doing their part with clips that offer practical and, more importantly, easy suggestions for ways to help do your part. With help from some of their show’s stars, they’ve got a series of clips that are short and to the point. So do your part - check out some of the videos and see if any of them fit your lifestyle. Who knows, you may be able to incorporate one of two of the ideas into your lifestyle and make a little bit of difference yourself!

Here is Bone’s TJ Thyne with a message about washing clothes a more economical way:

And here is Tamara Taylor with two videos - one on newspapers and one on using rechargeable batteries.

Fox provided a few clips of tonight’s episode for those of us who can’t wait to see the actual episode. Looks like Booth and Bones will be butting heads once again. Tonight we get to see Player Under Pressure - the episode that was pulled last year due to the shootings at VA Tech. The episode is about a campus murderer whose victim is crushed by bleachers. Since the victim is a star basket-ball player for the school, Booth and Bones end up looking into the world of sports on a college campus and all the “racy lifestyles” the athletes live. And, as you can guess, Bones has her own very strong opinion about the forensic application of sports and the people who play and follow them…

In this clip, Bones expresses her frustration that her guest lecture wasn’t well received at the college.

In this one, Bones offends Booth by putting down athletes and adults who watch sports.

We all know that David Boreanaz was a blogger for the NHL last year. Well, he’s back again this year and is starting off his season with a great interview (from April 11th) with NHL Live that shows his complete love of the game, and the Flyers. He’s even sporting his Flyers shirt. How festive - wonder if he’s got crazy Flyers socks to go with it? Oh, and he’s even uploaded some shots of his tour of the NHL Headquarters and his opportunity to get some tips from a pro on his blog. He also uploaded this shot of his interview with NHL:

They talk briefly about the show at the very end of the second video, but other than that it’s all sports talk - which, of course, is exactly what you’d expect on a sports radio show… Check them out below.

Well, I missed the Buffy panel at the Paley Center, and now I’ve missed the Bones panel. Oh, the disappointment… Makes me jealous of those lucky few who did get to attend - but huge thanks to those who were generous enough to share the experience with us! (maxie & pentacular to be more specific.)

Here’s a quick clip to preview tonight’s ALL NEW episode of Bones. I don’t need to tell you it’s going to be great, but if you have any doubts whatsoever, just check out the preview below. But, if you don’t want anything spoiled for our return to new eps, please just stop here. I mean it!

Otherwise, watch away! You’re going to love it…

What did I tell you? The cast is back in their usually great rare form and it’s going to be a great final few episodes of this season. (Curse that writers strike that kept us from new episodes this long! Oh well, sucks for us I guess.)

I’m curious to see if the horse is really his and was that a moment of male bonding with the “cheese” thing? That and the “brook trout” line - they’ve got to have so much fun making this show… Oh the drama - the suspense! Can we wait another - how many is it? - hours?

If you like to just watch the episodes as they come, DO NOT read or view any further! Here are some GREAT clips - NOTE!! I said CLIPS, not previews!!! - from tonights episode - just enough to whet your appetite even more before we start back with tonight’s ALL NEW episode of Bones! (Like any of us needed the additional suspense! At least our wait is over! Hallelujah!)

A special note of thanks to supernatural66 for posting these!

I LOVE the cheese joke (from the previously posted preview) - it goes so well with the “serious as a gas attack” line. The writers of the show are just too awesome. So enjoy the clips - or don’t and wait until tonight. But either way, don’t forget that tonight we start back with all new Bones. There’s only a few episodes left before we’re back to waiting until next season, so enjoy them while they last!

Oh wow, no wonder Emily Deschanel had a hard time keeping a straight face! I’d get the giggles too if I got the chance to kiss David Boreanaz like that! In fact, I’m pretty sure I’d act so much like a giddy schoolgirl that I’d most definitely embarrass myself. (Of course, seeing that my husband might have a serious problem with that, it’s probably a good thing that that’s one opportunity that will never come my way!) And I have to say, Emily did a great job cutting off the laughter and pulling it together to shoot the scene. There’s no doubt that she’s good at what she does!

Check out this video clip of one of the takes on the most talked about kiss - you know, the kiss between Booth and Bones - this fall. This one apparently was a little more, um, enthusiastic than the producers wanted, so it didn’t make the cut. Since we got a kiss, we’re all pretty happy, but how much more so would we have been if THIS was the kiss version we’d seen in the first place! I love how Emily really gets into it, grabbing David’s suit lapels and pulling him a little bit closer… And this kiss explains the gum exchange so much better than the tight-lipped kiss we saw on TV. Oh well, it was still a kiss, and it was still great, even if it wasn’t quite as enjoyed by the actors.

And we wonder why Hollywood marriages are known for their short life-spans! Could you imagine being married to someone who was required to kiss another person for their job? I’m glad that David and his wife seem so solid! And Emily has denied a recent romance rumor, so hopefully she doesn’t have to worry about a significant other being jealous… But hey, it’s just acting, right?

What else needs to be said? Booth and Bones finally got around to “the kiss.” Unfortunately for us, it wasn’t a kiss of passion but rather one of blackmail, but hey, it was still a kiss in the right direction. And, hey, whatever the cause of the kiss, even without the passion, it was priceless!

What started out as a business-like kiss turned into something a little more. Okay, sure, they weren’t quite ready to jump each other afterwards, but the effect it had on them it definitely took both of them by surprise. I sure looks like they’re both going to have a lot to think about in terms of their working relationship – if nothing else, they’ll have something interesting to talk about in therapy!

(And I guess Bones thought Booth could use a piece of gum after all… if that’s how she kisses her brother, I don’t what to know about her family life growing up!)
