Sea­son 5 Episode 15

Wen­dell (Michael Terry) has stepped in as Angela’s (Michaela Con­lin) love inter­est of late on “Bones” and fans of the show have had a mixed reac­tion to this.

Because “Bones“‘ view­ers are so very pas­sion­ate, I asked Michael Terry if he’s get­ting bom­barded with people’s opin­ions of his on-screen relationship.

He says he’s not, but series cre­ator Hart Han­son has warned him: “Be pre­pared for peo­ple to hate you.”

“I’m already pre­pared for that because I know that every­one loves “Hodgela,” says Terry in the clip below. “You know, Angela and Hod­gins (T.J. Thyne) together.”

Terry is cool with that though. “You don’t want every­body to like you. Oth­er­wise, it’s bor­ing. You know, I think that you need some peo­ple hat­ing you and some peo­ple lik­ing you. So fans can get on either side and hope­fully my side will be big­ger!” he jokes.

As far as long term poten­tial for Angela and Wen­dell goes, Terry says he’s not too sure, but he thinks the pair has a shot. What­ever hap­pens, how­ever, he’s sure it’ll make for great TV.

What he’s truly hop­ing for, though, is some con­flict between Wen­dell and Hodgins.

When I sug­gested a fist fight, he got excited: “T.J. and I were talk­ing about that… we wanted like a big fight through the lab where beakers are crash­ing. I think that would be really good. Get a lit­tle aggres­sion out, you know?”

Watch a sneak peek of BONES “A Night at the Bones Museum” Sea­son 5 Episode 5 which airs this Thurs­day Octo­ber 15 at 8pm on Fox.

Episode Syn­op­sis: BONES “A Night at the Bones Museum” Sea­son 5 Episode 5 — Bren­nan and Booth are called to inves­ti­gate what appears to be charred human remains on an elec­tri­cal fence. The mys­te­ri­ous corpse is later deter­mined to be a mum­mi­fied Egypt­ian royal on loan to the Jef­fer­son­ian. The anthro­po­log­i­cal mys­tery has Bren­nan in a tizzy, and when the Jef­fer­son­ian cura­tor prep­ping the mummy for exhi­bi­tion is mur­dered, the team sus­pects foul play. Brennan’s inves­ti­ga­tion of the cura­tor sheds new light on the life of the Egypt­ian royal, turn­ing their case into one of his­toric pro­por­tions. Mean­while, Bren­nan goes on a date with Booth’s super­vi­sor and for­mer intern, and Sweets’ girl­friend Daisy Wick (guest star Gallo) returns to the Jef­fer­son­ian in the “A Night at the Bones Museum“ episode of BONES air­ing Thurs­day, Oct. 15 (8:00–9:00 PM ET/ PT) on FOX.

All the pro­mos, pre­views and spoil­ers for Bones have made the long wait for sea­son 5 all the more dif­fi­cult sim­ply because the sus­pense is killing me. It also hasn’t been easy know­ing that Bren­nan ran off to Guatemala while Booth remains in a state of con­fu­sion, and that Angela will end her vow of celibacy with some­one we all know. Now we still have about four weeks of agony before Booth and Bren­nan returns to our TV screens on Sep­tem­ber 17 so I can just imag­ine all the ques­tions run­ning through your mind. Luck­ily, Bones show run­ner and exec­u­tive pro­ducer Hart Han­son has addressed some of these con­cerns with­out giv­ing away too much to spoil your enjoy­ment of the upcom­ing season.

As men­tioned in the Bones sea­son 5 pre­view, the sea­son opener will kick off weeks later and after Bren­nan returns from a trip to Guatemala. This alone makes me won­der why on earth would Bren­nan leave Booth at a time when he needs her most. But that’s not the case, accord­ing to Hart, who says, “We’ve set up a few times that when she’s really mis­er­able she goes down there [Guatemala] and iden­ti­fies vic­tims of the geno­cide down there and there are so many still remain­ing uniden­ti­fied. So when she’s really mis­er­able she just throws her­self into that. I promise you, Bren­nan did not aban­don Booth. Watch the sea­son opener; you’ll see.”

As for Angela’s much awaited sto­ry­line, Han­son of course remains tightlipped about who she’s hook­ing up with. How­ever, he doesn’t want to rule out any male char­ac­ter on the show, and that includes Booth.

“If you remem­ber from last year, she was going to do six months of being celi­bate at Sweet’s advice, so just today she broke her stretch of celibacy… I’m not say­ing with whom,” Han­son teased. “Some­one we know. I told [Michaela Con­lin] about fif­teen min­utes ago and she went [makes excited gasp­ing noise]. So it was a good reaction!”

Last sea­son of Bones ended with quite the con­tro­versy, and Michaela Con­lin was nice enough to share her thoughts on the mat­ter. She also dished on what new things are com­ing up for Angela this sea­son, which includes her going to see a psy­chic played by none other than Cyndi Lauper.

Sea­son 5 of Bones pre­mieres on Thurs­day, Sep­tem­ber 17, at 8pm on Fox, but for now enjoy Michael Conlin’s inter­view below.

Con­grat­u­la­tions on get­ting renewed for two sea­sons. That’s awesome.

Michaela Con­lin: I know, I know. Isn’t that crazy. It’s crazy in the net­work tele­vi­sion world.

I’m sure the fans have been excited all over.

Michaela Con­lin: Yeah. I trav­eled this sum­mer. I went to Paris and Turkey and it was really crazy to be stopped by those peo­ple on the other side of the world, very strange.

The final episode last sea­son gen­er­ated some con­tro­versy with fans because of the whole Bones and Booth rela­tion­ship. What’s your take on that?

Michaela Con­lin: That’s a good ques­tion, a good provoca­tive opener. Step right into the fire. I think a cou­ple of dif­fer­ent things about it. I think it was a tough deci­sion. I think the show has these really loyal and ardent fans that have fol­lowed the show from the begin­ning. I think that the episode, at least in my opin­ion and I think in Hart’s [Han­son] opin­ion, was really sort of an homage to the show. There were a lot of peo­ple from the past and inside jokes. It was sort of a ref­er­en­tial sea­son finale for that par­tic­u­lar sea­son. In regards to them get­ting into bed together, I think it’s hard because I think peo­ple don’t really know what they want. I think that some peo­ple would love to see them in bed and then will get upset when they’re in bed. I think it’s hard to sus­tain the kind of light­en­ing in a bot­tle thing that David [Bore­anaz] and Emily [Deschanel] have, and I think that Hart has done a really good job with that. In my opin­ion, I thought it was a really clever way to do it. But I know they have more to unleash, hope­fully this sea­son they’ll be able to let out every­thing that they couldn’t get out in that sea­son finale.

Do you know when the finale will be resolved this sea­son? David told me they prob­a­bly wouldn’t keep the amne­sia story for too long.

Michaela Con­lin: I don’t know, actu­ally. I have no idea. I know that in the episodes we’ve begun to shoot this sea­son they’re def­i­nitely deal­ing with the resid­ual effects of him being in the coma. But I’m not sure how long that’s going to last now.

What’s com­ing up for Angela this season?

Michaela Con­lin: It’s an inter­est­ing sea­son. Cindi Lau­per is play­ing Angela’s psy­chic in the sea­son opener. I’m not sure if you knew that, or not.

No, but fun.

Michaela Con­lin: Yeah, it is really fun. I think it’s hilar­i­ous that Angela is always sur­rounded by musi­cian types. Her dad is ZZ Top. I think that maybe Cindi Lau­per and ZZ Top should do a duet on the show, her dad and her psy­chic. She was a real joy to have on the set. She was great. She came in and did the sea­son opener with us. There’s a great scene with Emily and her and I at the begin­ning of the show. So that’s been a really fun treat and I hear that she’s going to be back being that she may have some things to pre­dict. So we’ll see how that goes.

Is she a real psy­chic or is it just a scam?

Michaela Con­lin: In real life?

In the show.

Michaela Con­lin: In the show. Yeah, I was like, ‘I’m not sure.’ [laughs] She plays Angela’s psy­chic, a real bona fide psy­chic. So I have a hyp­no­tist and a psy­chic at this point. I think Angela just needs straight up ther­apy. She needs to just go and see Sweets a cou­ple of times this sea­son, which I also hear is going to hap­pen which will be fun.

You just men­tioned her dad. Will we see some more sto­ry­lines with him this season?

Michaela Con­lin: I hope so. I also hear that we might meet her mom at some point, which I think would be really inter­est­ing. I’m not quite sure yet when that will be, but that should be kind of cool. It’s always hard to say what a sea­son will bring, but that’s what I’m hear­ing and is kind of cool.

Do you think that Angela and Hod­gins will get back together or is there a new love inter­est in the air?

Michaela Con­lin: I hear that Angela resolves her celibacy pact, or she ends it. I should say that she con­cludes her celibacy run. But I can’t tell you with who. It’ll be pretty funny and fun. In regards to Hod­gins, I don’t have any infor­ma­tion. I feel like I keep say­ing that I don’t have any infor­ma­tion. I don’t know what’s going to hap­pen to the two of them. We’ll just have to see, but I know there are other things on the hori­zon for Angela that should be pretty interesting.

Is there any­thing you wish would hap­pen to her this sea­son, after four sea­sons and going into the fifth?

Michaela Con­lin: Yeah. I’ve spo­ken to Hart about this, but Emily and I, both Bren­nan and Angela, we’d really love to see more of them and how they became friends because it was a strong point in the open­ing of the series, with the pilot, and sub­se­quent episodes in the first sea­son dealt a lot with their friend­ship. I’d really like to see us go back to that, go back to how they met and how they became friends and kind of get into that because I think it’s a really unlikely friend­ship that was struck up. I’d also like to see Angela maybe deal with, she never really wanted to quite be in that lab. She was very grossed out by the bod­ies in the begin­ning of the series. I’d like to see her sort of deal with all of that stuff again. I love when peo­ple from the past come back. I loved when Roxie came back last sea­son and I love when our par­ents visit. It tells us a lot about these char­ac­ters that are pre­dom­i­nantly just inside that lab. So when some­one from the out­side comes in, we learn a lot about them. So I always think it’s nice when we have peo­ple vis­it­ing or even the new round of interns that have been com­ing through, I think it’s an impor­tant aspect of the show at this point.

The male char­ac­ters in the lab have reg­u­lar con­tests about who’s going to be king of the lab. Do you think there should be a queen of the lab con­test with the girls?

Michaela Con­lin: Oh my God, that’s such a good ques­tion. I’ve never had any­one ask that before. I’m totally bring­ing that up to Hart. I’m going to bring that up to Hart and I’ll give you credit [laughs]. I’d like to be queen of the lab. I’m sure we all would. I think all three ladies are queen of the lab in their own domains. I think Bren­nan with the bones, Cam with the flesh and Angela with all of the foren­sics and all the restora­tion of the skulls. So I think they’re all, in their own minds, queen of the lab.

Angela doesn’t usu­ally go out into the field with Bones and Booth. Do you think this sea­son will be any dif­fer­ent in that regard, or do you hope to get out more?

Michaela Con­lin: Absolutely, yeah. It’s tricky with those because the show is struc­tured in a way where Bren­nan and Booth are out in the field while there’s a case run­ning con­cur­rently, we’re work­ing on some­thing back in the lab. So it’s some­times tricky to fur­ther the story along with us not there. It does become a sort of struc­turally dif­fi­cult thing some­times. But I would absolutely love to. I think that Angela is going to be snoop­ing around in a lot of people’s busi­ness this sea­son. She def­i­nitely loves to stir the shit up and find out who’s sleep­ing with who. So I think that’ll find her in a few dif­fer­ent sit­u­a­tions. I hear that there might be a lot of moments with Angela and Sweets, as well as more with Bren­nan and Booth.

What has been your favorite sto­ry­line on ‘Bones’ so far?

Michaela Con­lin: I think my favorite so far would not be the falling in love between Angela and Hod­gins but the try­ing to find her ex-husband. I thought that was a really great sto­ry­line and it gave us a lot to do and was really funny, and was just a fun sto­ry­line to play. It was like a com­edy of errors. So I really enjoyed that sto­ry­line, them try­ing to fig­ure out if they were sup­posed to be together. It felt real to me. A lot of my friends are in rela­tion­ships that are dif­fi­cult. I liked that it wasn’t all roses. I thought that was nice.

After being on a show now for four sea­sons do you find it eas­ier to pre­pare for each new episode?

Michaela Con­lin: Yes and no. The rhythm of each of the char­ac­ters is really spe­cific and so in that respect, line mem­o­riza­tion and all the tech­ni­cal aspects of the show are def­i­nitely eas­ier. The hours and being used to work­ing on series tele­vi­sion which is such a marathon, we shoot ten months of the year, four­teen hours a day that I’m def­i­nitely phys­i­cally much more used to it. I think that as far as the work for the char­ac­ter goes it can some­times be even harder because I think audi­ence mem­bers get used to see­ing char­ac­ters cer­tain ways and they think that they know you, and as you know, we’re all dif­fer­ent every moment of the day. So it’s hard to sort of bring new parts of her for­ward with­out sort of offend­ing this loyal audi­ence, because you want to make sure she’s a real per­son and not just a one note TV char­ac­ter. So that’s been challenging.

In regard to your process, is there some­thing spe­cial you do for each new script?

Michaela Con­lin: Yeah. I’ve been work­ing with an act­ing coach for eight years out here in Los Ange­les. I went to NYU and stud­ied the­ater. I’ve been study­ing for a long time and there are def­i­nitely cer­tain things that are much more help­ful than oth­ers. For me it’s just voice and body. It’s get­ting into my body and then work­ing with my voice, not a singing voice, but just con­nect­ing your breath to what you’re say­ing. I stud­ied that in school in New York and I con­tinue to study it out here. I work every week with an act­ing teacher. I did a lot of move­ment classes and yoga classes and dance classes. I think it’s really impor­tant to phys­i­cally stay in your body, espe­cially with the hours that we shoot where we’re stand­ing for really long peri­ods of time. So those are the two things that help me the most.

Aside from your char­ac­ter who’s your favorite char­ac­ter on ‘Bones’?

Michaela Con­lin: Good ques­tions. No one has asked me these ques­tions before, in four years of the show. Can you believe it? Who is my favorite char­ac­ter? Michaela’s favorite or Angela’s favorite?

How about both?

Michaela Con­lin: I think that Angela’s favorite char­ac­ter is Bren­nan because I feel like they’re much more sim­i­lar than they let on. I think they’re oppo­site sides of each other and I think they really need each other to bal­ance each other out even though they don’t want to admit that to each other. I think that Michaela’s is Sweets’ char­ac­ter, who’s really inter­est­ing because he’s so young. John Daley is a great actor, but the char­ac­ter, the fact that he comes from such a psy­cho­log­i­cal view­point I think makes him a really inter­est­ing char­ac­ter, and we’ll hope­fully see more of him too.

You weren’t at Comic Con this year. Would you be inter­ested in going next year?

Michaela Con­lin: I know. Bum­mer. We were there last year. We were all work­ing. Yeah, I’d love to go again. We all went last year, I think it was last year and it was great. Every­body warned us that it was going to be really crazy and packed which it was, but I was really struck by just how enthu­si­as­tic and sup­port­ive peo­ple were about the show and also every­thing else that was there. Peo­ple were just really thrilled to be there and it sounds cheesy, but sort of cel­e­brat­ing the stuff that we do. I was really sort of inspired by that hon­estly and thought that it was really cool. We had a lot of fun. I’d love to go back.

If you could guest star on any other show which one would it be?

Con­lin: Oh, wow. ‘Mad Men’. ‘Nurse Jackie’ is pretty good, too, but I’ll stick with ‘Mad Men’ though.

Bones Sea­son one to four

Bones Sea­son Five promo!

Angela’s self-imposed celibacy will end early next sea­son on Bones. And the per­son she’ll hook up with is some­one we’ve met before. “Hot!,” said Michaela Con­lin (Angela) upon hear­ing her new sex partner’s iden­tity from series cre­ator Hart Han­son at a recent Fox party.

“I didn’t expect that. It’s been six months for Angela.” Since we saw Angela last sea­son in a rela­tion­ship with a woman named Roxie, what will be the sex of her new part­ner? “It will be a male,” con­firms Han­son. Mean­while, tear­ing a page from the script of the 1985 Har­ri­son Ford film Wit­ness, Booth (David Bore­anaz) and Bren­nan (Emily Deschanel) will head to Amish coun­try in the new sea­son. Deschanel says the episode will find an Amish teenager mur­dered while he’s on his Rum­springa, which she explains is a sab­bat­i­cal in which Amish teens “are allowed to go into our mod­ern world and drink, smoke, have sex and even do drugs.

They can go crazy and see what they’re miss­ing before decid­ing whether or not to return to their com­mu­nity.” To save pro­duc­tion costs, West­lake Vil­lage in the San Fer­nando Val­ley was used in place of Lan­caster, Penn., where the fall episode is set. Deschanel describes the episode, which just wrapped, as “heartbreaking.”

So who do you think Angela will be get­ting it on with? Hod­gins? Jared Booth? Or some­one else? And will Booth and Bren­nan make like Ford and Kelly McGillis in Witness?

Fans of the Emily Deschanel/David Bore­anaz series, Bones, won’t have to worry about their show being can­celled for awhile. FOX has just given the series a two year renewal.

Bones is cen­tered on an unlikely alliance between an FBI agent (Bore­anaz) and a foren­sics anthro­pol­o­gist (Deschanel) and her team. The rest of the cast includes Michaela Con­lin, T.J. Thyne, Eric Mil­le­gan, Tamara Tay­lor, Michaela Con­lin, John Fran­cis Daley, Patri­cia Belcher, and David Greenman.

Con­sid­er­ing that Bones’ rat­ings are strong, its seemed odd that the show hadn’t been renewed until now. Accord­ing to Vari­ety, the holdup was over a com­mon topic these days, license fees.

To no sur­prise, the FOX net­work and the show’s stu­dio, 20th Cen­tury Fox TV, are owned by the same com­pany. While you might expect that that would make things eas­ier, it actu­ally made for longer nego­ti­a­tions. There are other profit par­tic­i­pants involved so there was extra due dili­gence to make sure a renewal deal reflected the show’s true mar­ket value.

When the nego­ti­a­tions were fin­ished, Bones exec­u­tive pro­ducer Hart Han­son con­firmed the news to fans via his Twit­ter account. He later wrote, “Thank you BONES fans for your response to our pick-up. Thank you so much. We are all so grat­i­fied. We love work­ing on our show. Thanks.”

The show is expected to return in the Fall and FOX will announce its 2009 — 2010 sched­ule on Monday.
