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 whom the character in the show is named, works in Quebec. See more »

Goofs

At start of episode, a plane is shown touching down in an airport with the Nation's Capitol in DC visible in background; the scene is identified as Dulles International Airport. The Capitol is not visible during landing at Dulles Airport. Both the landing sequence and later shots inside the airport appear to be Reagan National Airport, which would be more likely given its proximity to later events. See more »

Quotes

Special Agent Seeley Booth: You expect me, a federal agent, to declare war on a United States senator based on your little holographic crystal ball?
Dr. Temperance Brennan: It's not magic. It's a logical recreation of events based on evidence.

Bone the series
1 August 2006 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

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.
