When Bones returns for its third sea­son next week, one of the most antic­i­pated sto­ry­lines for view­ers to look for­ward to is the ongo­ing romance between Angela Mon­tene­gro, played by Michaela Con­lin and Dr. Jack Hod­gins, played by T.J. Thyne. When we last saw the lab cou­ple, Angela was on the verge of exchang­ing ‘I Dos” with Hod­gins until a blast from her past effec­tively halted the mar­i­tal pro­ceed­ings. Michaela Con­lin recently spoke to the Boston Her­ald about the sparks between her and her onscreen love inter­est on Bones.“Our romance actu­ally didn’t hap­pen as quickly as I think every­one thinks it did,” the 29-year old Con­lin remarked. “I think it was hap­pen­ing all through­out sea­son one, if you really watched.”The Penn­syl­va­nia native who is of Chi­nese and Irish descent also hinted at what’s in store for the foren­si­cally gifted duo. “I think this sea­son it’s going to be really inter­est­ing to see where it goes, because Angela is def­i­nitely not one to be pinned down. She’s def­i­nitely a free spirit who really fell in love. I think it’s going to be really inter­est­ing to see how all of that plays out when you have a rela­tion­ship that you’ve set up and what hap­pens in the after­math or what hap­pens when you do leave the altar. We’ve been work­ing on a lot of that.”In other Bones news, pro­duc­tion for the upcom­ing sea­son was briefly dis­rupted when a fire broke out on the set dur­ing film­ing three weeks ago. Appar­ently, one of their elec­tri­cal equip­ment acci­den­tally set a piece of mate­r­ial ablaze. A pro­duc­tion assis­tant imme­di­ately extin­guished the flames, pre­vent­ing any injury or major dam­age. Film­ing resumed that same after­noon as main­stays Emily Deschanel, David Bore­anaz, Michaela Con­lin, T.J. Thyne, Tamara Tay­lor and Eric Mil­le­gan report­edly all donned cos­tumes for the new season’s Hal­loween episode. Bones returns on FOX Tues­day, Sep­tem­ber 25

Bones Sea­son 2 DVD Review Posted by Ryan Byers on 09.26.2007 If you like dead peo­ple and romance, this is the show for you. FOX’s anthropology-oriented mur­der mys­tery series Bones is slated to begin its third sea­son in just a few days. To coin­cide with sea­son three, the fine folks at FOX have also released the sec­ond sea­son of the series in a six-disc boxed set that includes all twenty-one hours of the season’s con­tent as well as plenty of bonus features.The show focuses on the lives of foren­sic anthro­pol­o­gist Tem­per­ance “Bones” Bren­nan (Emily Deschanel) and FBI agent See­ley Booth (David Bore­anaz), who are called in to inves­ti­gate mur­ders which usu­ally involve not much of the vic­tim being left aside from his/her skele­tal sys­tem. Their efforts are sup­ported by a team work­ing out of the Jef­fer­son­ian Insti­tute, a thinly-veiled clone of the Smith­son­ian. Among them are Dr. Jack Hod­gins (T.J. Thyne), an expert in all things related to insects and dirt, Angela Mon­te­na­gro (Michaela Con­lin), who spe­cial­izes in facial recon­struc­tion, and Zach Addy (Eric Mil­le­gan), who begins the series as a doc­toral can­di­date in anthro­pol­ogy work­ing under Bones but quickly earns his degree and becomes a Jef­fer­son­ian employee in his own right. In an inter­est­ing twist on the tra­di­tional crime drama, the char­ac­ters’ per­sonal lives are explored just as much as their pro­fes­sional lives, as will be seen as we run down the twenty-one episodes that com­prised sea­son two.

There are so many things to like about Hart Hanson’s quirky foren­sic drama, Bones. Loosely based on the expe­ri­ences and char­ac­ters of foren­sic anthro­pol­o­gist and author Kathy Reichs, the series fol­lows FBI Agent Seely Booth (David Bore­anaz) and his part­ner, foren­sic anthro­pol­o­gist Tem­per­ance ‘Bones’ Bren­nan (Emily Deschanel) as they track down ser­ial killers, child mur­der­ers, and other human mon­sters all through the evi­dence left in their victims.The sec­ond sea­son opens with Bones get­ting a new boss — Camille Sarosan (Tamara Tay­lor), whose con­vic­tion to stick to reg­u­lar pro­to­cols puts her directly in the way of the exper­i­men­tal “out­side the box” meth­ods often used by Bones’ crew to find solu­tions. As Cam her­self so indel­i­cately puts it: “I am a diar­rhetic seag­ull — every­thing goes through me.” Adding to the ten­sion is the fact that Cam and Booth have had a roman­tic rela­tion­ship in the past, putting added pres­sure on the long-denied sex­ual ten­sion between Booth and Brennan.

A heavy week — and no bones about itA WEEK IN THE LIFEALICE WYL­LIEMon­dayI was up at 4am to get to the TV stu­dio for 5am, where I went straight into hair and makeup. Then it was into rehearsals with my Bones co-star David Bore­anaz. We spent the day film­ing a cou­ple of scenes, and as usual didn’t get away until 9pm. Film­ing can be a slow and quite intense process, and I don’t get home until late. This evening, I had to dash back out again — I wanted to see Michaela Con­lin, who plays Angela on Bones, in a play she’s in called Doubt.TuesdayIn the morn­ing I did a photo-shoot and a cou­ple of pro­mo­tional inter­views, before going for lunch with a rep­re­sen­ta­tive for a char­ity I sup­port which res­cues farm ani­mals. After lunch, I went for a mas­sage with my mum at a hot spring in LA. I went into the stu­dio for rehearsals in the after­noon, and when I got home I went straight to bed in prepa­ra­tion for another early rise in the morning.WednesdayTony Wharmby, the pro­ducer of Bones, has been direct­ing an episode this week, and he knows the show so well that we got out at 8pm, which is almost unheard-of. I took advan­tage of the oppor­tu­nity and went out with my friend to a launch party for a new fash­ion designer in LA. It was a lovely night, but since it was a fash­ion party, no-one was eat­ing the cake, so my friend asked the organ­is­ers if we could take it home. It was hilar­i­ous leav­ing the party car­ry­ing the cake between us.ThursdayWe are due to start film­ing an episode of Bones directed by David Duchovny, so we all went into a meet­ing with him in the morn­ing to dis­cuss the episode. David was absolutely hilar­i­ous, so much fun and really great to work with. We have a new direc­tor for every episode, which took a while to get used to. Actu­ally, my dad [direc­tor Caleb Deschanel] is going to be direct­ing an episode soon, and David Bore­anaz keeps teas­ing me about it.FridayI was work­ing all day and try­ing to learn my lines in between takes. We don’t get much down time, just 15 min­utes here and there, so I grab the oppor­tu­nity to learn my lines when­ever I can — I pre­fer to learn them dur­ing the day so I can keep my evenings free. I spent the evening relax­ing in front of the tele­vi­sion with my boyfriend. I’m obsessed with Project Run­way at the moment, so I caught up on an episode that I had missed.The week­endIt was my birth­day on Sat­ur­day, so I had a lit­tle get-together with some friends. I’m a vegan so I served lots of vegan food and forced all my friends to eat it. Peo­ple tend to be quite scep­ti­cal about vegan food, but every­one loved it when they tried it, or at least they told me they did. On Sun­day, I was in more rehearsals for Bones, then in the evening I went out to a friend’s din­ner party.? Bones returns to Sky One from 16 Novem­ber at 9pm.
