Quick side note on the kiss
Here’s just a quickie Q&A on the Booth/Bones kiss tomorrow night. Ausiello had the opportunity to talk with Barry Josephson and this is what he told:
Does the kiss stir up any emotions?
Josephson: It definitely stirs up some emotions. In the episode, Booth is really a live wire, because he’s having issues with his ex. And Bones is having issues with her brother and her dad. So the two of them are very raw emotionally, but I think there’s a little something more going on. And I think everybody around them knows it.How long did you guys agonize over the timing of this kiss?
Josephson: It was [show-runner] Hart Hanson’s decision. I know it was something he was wrestling with — where to take this relationship and how far to go with it. I also know that Hart pays very close attention to the message boards and the fans of the show… and what they feel should happen to the characters. But it’s our Christmas episode in our third season. I think there are expectations, and I think Hart was sort of feeling that.Were you on the set the day the scene was shot?
Josephson: I was not on the set, but I was talking to both actors before and after, and they were very excited. David was almost giddy he was so excited. He and Emily are very close; they’re very good friends.How many takes did they have to do?
Josephson: There were a few takes. They got to smack a few times.
Counting down the hours until we can see where it leaves us…
