Earlier this week, Bones star David Boreanaz took the time to join a number of us on a conference call. We each got to ask only one or two questions, but I’ve put together the entire conversation for you to read. Instead of paraphrasing it, this is exactly what David had to say to our questions:
Q: What was it like to shoot that long-awaited and highly built-up and two kissing scenes in the hundredth episode?
D. Boreanaz: I didn’t necessarily look at it like a hundredth episode. I looked at it as an episode that I was really fortunate to, again, be able to direct like I did last year. To me it’s just the work in taking care of that as best as I possibly could and as creatively as I could. The insight that I had going into it, knowing the storyline and knowing exactly how I wanted to do those two moments, I think that the audience is going to be really pleased. I certainly was for both those moments, and I think we see both those characters grow in a way from the past where they came from, some insight, and also in the future to see what’s going to happen with them next. It was entertaining and a lot of fun and I enjoyed the challenges.
Q: I wanted to ask a question for all the Bones trivia lovers out there. In one of the promotional video clips, you gave us a list of items that Booth carries in his pockets. I was wondering, could you please review the list and give us your explanation why each of those items is significant to Booth?
D. Boreanaz: Sure. I think I’ll keep some as a mystery as well, since a lot of things have not been seen yet. I carry a gold Zippo lighter, which is reminiscent of his training days in the Army as a ranger; he’s got a poker chip to remind him of his gambling issues that we never really tapped into with Booth; some dice in his pocket, in his right pocket, that he likes to fiddle around with if he’s interrogating people, again a reference to his gambling days; a St. Christopher medal that he keeps on him, again, because he’s a religious kind of a guy so he keeps St. Christopher to protect him. And let’s see, what else do I have in my arsenal? I wear a Wittnauer watch on my left wrist. I can’t tell you what’s inscribed because maybe that will come out in an episode one day. And, that’s pretty much it.
Q: I wanted to know, do you think there’s another 100 episodes in the show and in you?
D. Boreanaz: Wow, that’s an interesting question. I think that there are plenty more episodes. It doesn’t matter if it’s – I started this venture with the pilot and didn’t even think about where it was going to go and just take it show-to-show, episode-to-episode. The future’s very bright for the show. I see it as a show that’s really found its legs and can really go to some really unique places. We’re now actually shooting the season finale, so I take it episode-to-episode, show-to-show, and don’t set myself up too much for discouragement if it were to end tomorrow.
Q: I would like to know how it came about that you are directing the 100th episode, which is the flashback. Which order did these things come in? Did you say, “I’d like to direct the flashback,” and they decided, well let’s move that to the 100th episode. Or did they have you directing the 100th episode, or did you say, “I’d like to direct an episode,” and this is how it worked out in the rotation?
D. Boreanaz: It pretty much worked out in rotation, and at the time, we didn’t necessarily know if it was going to be a flashback. I wasn’t privy to know what the episode was going to be about until about six episodes into the start of the season, so luck of the draw, just wanted to be pushed back as far as the episodes and rotations were concerned. I knew the 100th episode was coming up and I graciously talked to Hart about it and it just so happened to be this is the way it happened. I fell in a good spot.
Q: You’ve directed a couple episodes of TV before, so I was wondering, how does the process change with practice? Does it get easier?
Episode 5.17 The Death of the Queen Bee Air Date: April 15, 2010
Press Release: BRENNAN GOES BACK TO SCHOOL ON AN ALL-NEW “BONES” THURSDAY, APRIL 15, ON FOX
Robert Englund (“A Nightmare on Elm Street”) Guest-Stars
The team’s latest case takes Brennan back to her alma mater, Burtonsville High School, where she and Booth investigate the discovery of an unidentified skull and upper torso. With Angela’s help, they identify the victim as one of Brennan’s classmates, and notice a possible connection to a second murder committed 15 years prior. Brennan and Booth go undercover as a married couple at her class reunion to interrogate a set of suspects, where even as an adult, Brennan is still predictably misunderstood and her only friend lies in a strangely dark and offbeat janitor (guest star Englund). Meanwhile, Hodgins spills a lab secret in the all-new “The Death of the Queen Bee” episode of BONES airing Thursday, April 15 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (BON-517) (TV-14 D, L)
Guest Cast: Michael Grant Terry as Wendell Bray; Jenica Bergere as Officer Becky Conway; Robert Englund as Ray Buxley; Suzy Nakamura as Carrie Turner; Victor Webster as Brad Benson; Ben Falcone as Andy Pfleuger; Megan Hilty as Julie Coyle; Aviva Brandes as Anna; Shanley Caswell as Dede [Source: FOX][Photos]
Here are some photos from the highly anticipated Bones episode that guest stars Robert Englund, who is best known for playing Freddie Kruger in the Nightmare on Elm Street movies. He’s going to play the high school custodian, and probably will be a very creepy character. We also see that Booth & Brennan will share a romantic dance or two.
Have you been wondering when the Gravedigger will return to Bones? Well, this week Michael Ausiello gives us this hint:
Question: Thanks for all the 100th episode info on Bones! Do you think you can dig up any scoop on the upcoming return of the Gravedigger? Will someone else be buried alive? —Jessica L. Ausiello: Sounds like a question for exec producer (and fellow Smurf aficionado) Stephen Nathan. “One of the Gravedigger’s undiscovered victim’s will be unearthed during her trial,” he reveals. “The legal battle becomes a duel between Brennan and the Gravedigger. I won’t divulge the outcome of the case, but I will say that we haven’t seen the last of the Gravedigger.” [Source: EW]

Press Release: “BONES” FLASHES BACK TO THE BEGINNING ON THE SERIES’ MILESTONE 100TH EPISODE THURSDAY, APRIL 8, ON FOX
Episode Directed by Series Star David Boreanaz
Eric Millegan Returns to Guest-Star as “Zack Addy”
The milestone 100th episode of BONES takes viewers back in time six years as Brennan and Booth recount the first case they worked on together. With Sweets finishing his book on their partnership, Brennan and Booth take this opportunity to set the record straight. A young and rebellious FBI Agent Booth seeks the help of an team of anthropological scientists and a street artist to find the evidence that will prove his high-profile suspect guilty. Although in unfamiliar territory, Dr. Brennan, her grad student Zack (guest star Millegan) and Hodgins get right to work, impressing Booth with their knack for uncovering new leads and substantiating his theory about a well-connected district judge. While the case cements a foundation for a successful future partnership, it also reveals the convoluted romantic beginnings of the formidable duo – whose feelings for each other almost destroyed the team but still linger years later – in the all-new “The Parts in the Sum of the Whole” episode of BONES airing Thursday, April 8 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

Thanks so much to Rebecca for this tip! Here are Michael Ausiello’s latest tidbits of spoilerage:
Question: Thanks for the all-Bones AA, but how could Caroline have helped with their first case when Brennan didn’t meet her until the season 1 episode, “Man in the Morgue?” – Hank Ausiello: Don’t you worry. Bones‘ continuity policy covered their tracks with one simple line, delivered by Booth to Brennan. Question: I noticed via Twitpic that you not only received the 100th episode of Bones, but the 99th as well. Any scoop — especially about page 187? —JR Ausiello: There’s actually a little page 187 nugget in my all-Bones AA. Yes, I realize I billed the column as being strictly about the 100th episode, but I accidentally intentionally included a little 99 scoopbit to see if you were paying attention. Question: What was the most shocking moment in Bones‘ 100th episode? —Diane Ausiello: The one that prompted Sweets to declare, “My book is crap!” [Source: EW]

Here’s some scoop from Matt Mitovich. Some is new info, some, the same old stuff:
I’ve heard that the ‘Bones‘ fan base is gong to be split over the 100th episode. What do you think? Do we need to prepare ourselves with liquor? – dovepage via Twitter I’d go easy on the sauce, if only because there are scenes you definitely won’t want to forget the morning after. If you are of age and do imbibe, I suggest tequila as an exceptionally appropriate choice, considering… well, you’ll see. Can I bribe you with a case of wine to spill the beans on the ‘Bones’ flashback episode? – Christine What’s with all the booze talk? No amount of merlot would be able to soothe sting I’d feel from Fox if I spilled too much, but I’ll tease you with this: Brennan does something – twice – that turns Booth on a bit. As Booth works his first case with Brennan, Caroline Julian is moved to note: “Watching you two together is like being at prom!” Bones shares with a gal pal, regarding new acquaintance Booth: “I do respond to the breadth of his shoulders and his strong jawline.” Swoon. When is the 100th episode of ‘Bones’ airing? – Kimberley Oh yeah, that: The date is April 8. Oh, and did I mention that when Michaela Conlin told The Big Tease (eighth item) that Angela was a “forensics artist” before joining up with the Jeffersonian, she was, um, stretching the truth? Not unless “forensic artists” work on sidewalks drawing pictures of kids with giant heads riding skateboards. [Source: Fancast]
