Trivia
Dr. Gordon Wyatt's rock star alter ego, the "bisexual spaceman" Noddy Comet, was derived from David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust persona.

Goofs
When the forensics are talking about how skull (Skalle) is pronounced in Norwegian, Clark Edison is actually the one who pronounces the word correctly, despite Brennan's insistence otherwise.

Quotes
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Sweets... has scars on his back. Old one.
Dr. Gordon Wyatt: Really?
Special Agent Seeley Booth: What kind of scars?
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Like he'd been whipped.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Whipped?
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I saw them.

10/10

the best episode ever!

First off all, I am a big fan of Bones, but after fabulous gravedigger I missed something in this series... But this episode brings back to me why I really love this series. Everyone can find something interesting in this episode: death metal, strong emotions, interesting psychology context, real good script and great humor.

Secondly, in this episode Sweets personality is developed and lifted to a new level. And, what's more, you can't miss Brennans interrogation scene...

In my opinion, it is the best episode to date.
