A Scene From Bones’ Pilot Was Plucked Right From Real Life – /Film

The drawback with working in a discipline like forensics is that it turns into simpler to overlook that a number of your occupation includes coping with some fairly horrific stuff, particularly the type that folks inside earshot won’t need to hear about when you and your co-workers are idly chatting. That’s precisely what occurs in a scene from the “Bones” pilot when Brennan and her crew are capturing the s**t about their present project, grossing out some people who occur to catch wind of what they’re discussing and awkwardly shuffle away. It’s an amusing second that, as Hanson revealed throughout the aforementioned Q&A, was primarily based instantly on one thing related that occurred to Reichs (who shared the story with the present’s producers herself).

That wasn’t the one occasion from Reichs’ actual life that made it into the “Bones” pilot both. The episode additionally begins with Brennan getting back from a visit to Guatemala through which she helped determine victims from the nation’s civil warring, very similar to Reichs did again in 2002 (as detailed on her personal website). Mind you, it seems Reichs wasn’t busted on the airport for carting a human cranium round in her journey bag like Brennan is throughout the episode (nor did she use her martial arts know-how to show a grabby Homeland Security officer a lesson … as far as we all know, anyway). But it is like I mentioned, life as a forensics specialist on the whole tends to be a tad much less thrilling than it’s within the “Bones” universe.

All 12 seasons of “Bones” are currently available to stream on Hulu.
