Trivia:

While trying to convince Booth to let her have full participation in the case, Brennan says the nearest forensic anthropologist after her is in Quebec. The Brennan character in Kathy Reichs' novels, after who the character in the show is named, works in Quebec.

Goofs:

Factual errors: In show you see Angela picking up Brennan at "Dulles International Airport." She is returning from South America. The airport they actually show is Reagan National Airport which she would not have returned to from an international trip. Dulles Airport is actually in Dulles Virginia, although the airport is considered a DC airport.

Quotes:

Special Agent Seeley Booth: A decomposed corpse was found this morning at Arlington National Cemetery...
Dr. Temperance Brennan: Arlington National Cemetery is full of decomposed corpses. It's... a cemetery.

Bone the series

This show is excellent. A little dark and spooky but it and House beat the hell out of those useless reality shows.

Bones and House show that Hollywood has decided to think and produce quality TV again.

Bones has a future.

It makes you think and wonder about what happens out there in the real world. Only thing is I wish Bones and House were still on same night.

Made for one great evening of REAL TV. I wish they'd shown more of Bones this summer even if they had to only show one House per week. Emily is truly a good actress. The entire cast of Bones work well together. I cannot wait for the new season of Bones.
