action
The focus of the series is the forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan , whose nickname is Bones . Brennan is portrayed as an outstanding, but somewhat unworldly, scientist: while she is an absolute luminary in her complex subject , she has great difficulty in striking the right tone with others. She often comments on allusions to popular and everyday culture with the words: "I don't know what that means."
Brennan's work consists of identifying the skeletal remains of victims of World War I and other wars at the (fictional) Jeffersonian Institute in Washington. She and her team are repeatedly called in to help solve crimes that are being investigated by the FBI . The investigator Seeley Booth acts as her male counterpart .
background
The figure of Dr. Temperance Brennan was created by the US anthropologist and bestselling author Kathy Reichs for her debut novel Déjà Dead (English title: Dead don't lie ). A series of books emerged from the novel.
The television series Bones , however, is not a film adaptation of the Temperance Brennan novels. Instead, the series was only very loosely based on the novel. The "Jeffersonian" appearing in the series is fictional and an allusion to the real Smithsonian Institution , one of the most renowned research institutions in the USA.
Kathy Reichs says the TV series' younger Temperance Brennan is "in an earlier phase of her career" compared to her 40-year-old heroine. However, the two main characters differ not only in their age, but also in numerous other character and biographical details.
Nevertheless, the scriptwriters have based the further development of the character in the series on the person of Kathy Reichs herself: the anthropologist Temperance Brennan writes detective novels in her spare time, the main character of her stories is a forensic anthropologist named Kathy Reichs. As the series opens, Brennan has just published Bred in the Bone , which made the New York Times bestseller list . The back cover of Brennan's book features a portrait of the real-life Kathy Reichs.
characters
main characters
Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan
Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan (nee Joy Keenan) is a passionate scientist who always makes decisions based on empirical and rational principles. Her social skills, on the other hand, are very limited; she often appears cold-hearted, distant and sometimes suspicious.
Temperance Brennan and her brother Russ were abandoned by their parents as children. Since Russ, who was 19 years old at the time, also left her, Temperance grew up with foster families. When an unknown woman is identified, who turns out to be Brennan's biological mother, she gets in contact with her brother Russ again and finds out that her maiden name is Joy Keenan and that her parents belonged to a group of bank robbers. The parents had left Russ, whose original name was Kyle, and Temperance to protect the two children from the other members of the criminal gang. Brennan's father Max Keenan is still alive, but had to remain hidden for a long time as a wanted criminal because he was suspected of killing the FBI's vice director. However, he was acquitted.
Brennan has a good relationship with her colleagues at the Jeffersonian . Angela Montenegro calls Temperance Brennan her best friend. Brennan's steadfast partner in the investigation is FBI agent Seeley Booth. The relationship between the two becomes closer and friendlier through many common and often life-threatening events, but a romantic relationship only develops later. Brennan has several brief relationships, including a particularly close one with FBI agent Sullivan. Sullivan plans to take Brennan to the Caribbean, but she turns down the offer.
In addition to her work at the Jeffersonian Institute, Brennan writes crime novels about forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs that have become bestsellers. In her spare time, Brennan practices karate , which is useful for some aggressive attacks during her investigations.
In episode 5.22, she decides to lead a research project in the Molucca Islands and leaves the Jeffersonian Institute for a year.
In episode 6.23 it is found out that she is expecting a child from Booth. The birth takes place in episode 7.7 in a stable. She names her daughter Christine Angela after her mother and best friend.
In episode 9.6 she and Booth get married, after which they fly to Buenos Aires on their honeymoon in episode 9.7.
In episode 10.15 we learn that she is pregnant again. Booth is the father. There will be a boy named Hank Booth Jr. after Booth's grandfather.
When the lab explodes in the final episode of season 12, she struggles to process information for a while. In the same episode she gets well again.
Special Agent Seeley Joseph Booth
Booth is a former elite soldier in the United States Army Rangers and now works for the FBI, which is why he and Dr. Temperance Brennan comes into contact. Right from the start he calls them “bones”, which he doesn't like at all. Unlike Bones' scientific team, he trusts more of his intuition and experience in solving murder cases. Booth's past in the Army still lingers on Booth and influences his approach to the case in episode 1.21.
In many situations, he has to help Bones deal with bereaved relatives and suspects. At first there is a certain skepticism between Booth and the scientists in Bones' team. While he appears self-confident and urbane, he forms quite a contrast to the insecure and sometimes unworldly scientists like Zack Addy or Dr. Jack Hodgins. Since the characters are so different, there is often a lack of understanding of the other.
The Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth is one of his ancestors, which gives him trouble because of his job and his attitude to law and order: This is mentioned in episode 96 ("In the pudding lies the truth"), 5th season, and little later in the anniversary episode number 100 ("Less than the sum of all parts?") from the same season.
Booth and his ex-girlfriend Rebecca have a four-year-old son (at the beginning of the series) named Parker and a younger brother named Jared. Parker moves to England over the course of the series and rarely visits his father. At the beginning of season one, he dated a lawyer named Tessa for a while. He also had an affair with Dr. Camille Saroyan.
Towards the end of the fourth season he was diagnosed with a brain tumor, but it could be removed without permanent health damage. However, early in season five, Booth struggled to adapt to some of his lifestyle habits, such as: B. wearing colorful socks and ties as well as a conspicuous belt buckle.
Towards the end of the fifth season, Booth follows the request of the US Army and returns to Afghanistan as an instructor. Like Brennan, he is leaving the team for a year.
In the first episode of the sixth season he comes back from Afghanistan and from now on lives with a young reporter named Hannah Burley ( Katheryn Winnick ), whom he met there. In episode 6.13 he makes her a marriage proposal, which she does not accept.
In the penultimate episode of season 6, he spends a night with Brennan. Brennan tells him he's going to be a father in the season 6 finale. There will be a daughter named Christine Angela Booth.
Since episode 9.6 he has been married to Temperance Brennan, which Pelant tried to prevent, but after his death in episode 9.4 it could still take place.
At the end of season 9, he is arrested when he shoots three FBI agents in self-defense while he is working on a very delicate case. This is continued in season 10 and you can see that he has been in custody for 3 months at the beginning of season 10.
In episode 10.15 you learn that he is going to be a father again. Brennan is the mother. There will be a son named Hank Booth Jr. After this episode he becomes addicted to gambling again.
Angela Pearly-Gates Montenegro
She is also part of Dr. Brennan at the Jeffersonian Institute, but she's not a forensic scientist. Angela is an artist and the owner of a patent for software that uses three-dimensional holography to reconstruct the appearance of the dead and the course of events. Much like Booth, she is much more sensitive to the sight of the dead, which is why she takes some cases very seriously. Most of the time, however, she's cheerful and tries, above all, to get Temperance to lead a life outside of work and have fun doing it.
Little is known about Angela's personal life. However, she has a lot of experience in dealing with men and has several relationships, including one with Dr. Jack Hodgins. At the end of the second season, they both plan to get married. The wedding cannot take place, however, as Angela was already married at a fire-water ceremony in Fiji . During the course of the third season, she and Jack hire a private investigator to find Angela's husband so that the marriage can be annulled. But after her husband Grason Barassa agrees, Jack and Angela quarrel and they end their relationship. In episode nine, her father appears, who turns out to be Billy Gibbons , singer and guitarist for the band ZZ Top . Their surname refers to Gibbon's famous 1959 Les Paul guitar, which he named Pearly Gates. In episode 5.20 she and Hodgins get married surprisingly. In the final episode of season 5, she and Hodgins decide to go to Paris while Bones and Booth are away from the United States.
In the premiere of the sixth season, she tells Brennan that she and Hodgins are expecting a child who will be born at the end of the season and is called Michael Staccato Vincent Hodgins.
In episode 10.21 you can find out her maiden name. It's called Pookie Noodlin.
Towards the end of last season, it is learned that she and Hodgins are having a second child.
Dr. Jack Stanley Hodgins IV.
Hodgins is the team's entomologist, he also has degrees in geology and mineralogy. He is a believer in various conspiracy theories, sarcastic and sometimes hides behind his humor instead of expressing his opinion clearly. In the first season he often gets into trouble with his superior Dr. Goodman in conflict because he usually disagrees. He is an important reference person for Zack. At the beginning of the first season only Zack knows Jack's secret: Jack is the only heir to a very rich and influential family that is one of the greatest patrons of the Jeffersonian Institute. He's afraid that his colleagues will think that was the only reason he got the job, and that is why he keeps this part of his private life a secret. In addition, Hodgins is a big critic of what, in his opinion, is too much dominated by capital and corporate interests in US politics. Accordingly, he is uncomfortable with his origins and the power of his family inheritance. He had a relationship with Angela that ended in the fourth season, but is taken up again in the fifth season through the spontaneous marriage of the two. In the premiere of the sixth season, we learn that Angela is expecting a child with him, who is born at the end of the season and is called Michael Staccato Vincent Hodgins.
In episode 9.15 he learns that he also has a very intelligent, but mentally ill brother, but his parents never told him anything about him.
In episode 10 of the 11th season, he suffers from the consequences of an exploded corpse paralysis on his back and has been in a wheelchair ever since.
Dr. Camille Saroyan
Dr. Saroyan, known to most as Cam, is a coroner and led the forensic department at the Jeffersonian Institute from Dr. Goodman taken over. In the first few episodes, she and Dr. Brennan, who often wants to steer the search for evidence in a different direction. Cam tries to catch the perpetrator, while Brennan works on the principle of finding out everything about the evidence. Before Cam joined the Jeffersonian Institute, she worked in New York, where she was already involved with Booth. In the second season, the two get closer, but they end the relationship relatively soon.
Cam was previously engaged to a surgeon named Andrew Welton ("Wagner" in the German version). He had a young daughter whose mother had already passed away. After Cam tried to raise little Michelle with Andrew, she realized that he wasn't over Michelle's mother yet and she left him. In episode 18 of season 4, the remains of Wagner are found. Cam sees Michelle for the first time, pretending not to know her. Later in the episode, however, she admits that Cam was like a mother to her and that she felt abandoned when she left. Cam offers to move in with her, which Michelle accepts.
In season 6, Cam meets a gynecologist named Paul Litner. In season 8, she finally begins a relationship with forensic scientist Arastoo Vaziri. They initially keep the relationship a secret, but when Vaziri's life is threatened, Cam confesses her feelings to the team.
In the 11th season after Dr. Brennan's return to the Jeffersonian, Arastoo ends the relationship and leaves the Jeffersonian to continue his career, but returns in episode 10. They later become a couple again. In the penultimate episode of this season, the two get married.
Dr. Lance sweets
Sweets lived for a long time in homes and in very difficult foster families and is therefore a late adoptive child. His last aging adoptive family gave him many values - they were like real parents for him. There are many scars on Sweets back that indicate torture with whips . This would also explain the greater life experience and knowledge of human nature, which he shows again and again despite his youth (22/23 years) and which is also very useful in the creation of perpetrator profiles.
Sweets works as a psychologist for the FBI and is mainly used when there is a crisis in a team of investigators. When the FBI notices that Brennan is withdrawing more and more from her partner Booth after the arrest of her father Max Keenan, the two investigators are forced to deal with the young psychologist's unusual situation. The FBI hopes to counteract the threatened disintegration of the team, as the collaboration with Brennan and the Jeffersonian Institute is now very much appreciated.
The character first appears in episode 3.04, and since episode 3.09, Sweets actor John Francis Daley has been part of the main cast .
Sweets has a relationship with Daisy Wick, one of Dr. Brennan's assistant. The relationship deepens, right through to marriage plans. However, their relationship comes to an abrupt end in episode 5.22 when Daisy and Bones set off on an anthropological research mission to the Moluccas for a year . They mutually decide not to wait for the other. However, after Daisy returned to Washington in Season 6, both are eager to have a relationship again. In episode 4 of the 8th season they split up for good.
Sweets listened to metal as a teenager, played jazz on the piano in a bar during the series and said he was good at singing. He also uses the wealth of experience in investigations.
In episode 10.1 you learn that he is the future father of a boy and wants Booth to be the godfather. The mother is Daisy, the baby was not planned because the two had already separated. At the end of the episode, Sweets is murdered by a professional killer and dies from massive internal injuries in the presence of Bones and Booth before the rescue workers arrive.
In episode 8 of season 10, Sweets' son is born. His name is Seeley Lance Wick Sweets. Seeley Booth is the child's godfather.

After re-appearing as Max Keenan, Matthew Brennan is ready to do anything to keep his children safe. In the episode A Traitor in the Fire , he even commits murder for it. In the second season, Max, who is still wanted by the FBI as a murderer, faces himself in order to be closer to his daughter and not have to go into hiding all the time.

Episodes
Episode 84 (4x26)
The Season Four Finale One story at the end is a special feature of the series. Everyone has different roles in this episode. Brennan and Booth are married and run a nightclub that is very similar in interior design to the Jeffersonian laboratory and is called "The Lab". Most of the characters are employees of this nightclub or, in the case of Hodgins , regulars there. Camille Saroyan works with Seeley's brother Jared Booth at the FBI. Zack appears as Brennan's personal assistant.
Despite the changed roles, the basic characteristics of the personalities are still there. At the beginning of the episode, Zack finds a body in the club. The FBI, represented by Camille Saroyan and Jared Booth, takes over this case and first questions all employees. During the official investigation, the nightclub team tries to deal with the case independently. However, more and more club employees are being arrested because, among other things, they come into contact with a murder weapon or illegally possess a firearm. Ultimately, the murder case can be solved with the help of Brennan, who later informs her husband Booth that she is pregnant. However, towards the end of the episode it becomes apparent that the fictional story only takes place in Booth's head while he is in a coma. The voiceover spoken by Hodgins during the plot is text that Brennan types into a laptop while he is in bed. As the last act in the sequence, Brennan deletes this text and Booth wakes up. However, he no longer knows who Brennan is.
Episode 94 (5x10)
Emily Deschanel's sister, Zooey Deschanel , made a guest appearance as Dr. Brennan's cousin. There are multiple allusions to the similarity of the two, Booth even thinks she is Brennan's sister.
Offshoot The Finder
On May 10, 2011, a television series based on Richard Greener's book series The Locator was ordered, which - although the underlying book templates of the two series have nothing to do with each other and come from different authors - with the 19th episode of the 6th season of Bones (original title the episode The Finder ) was started as a Bones offshoot by a backdoor pilot . As a result, Booth, together with the skeptical Bones, instructs his old friend Walter Sherman, who according to Booth has the "gift of finding", to find important evidence. Then the protagonists of Bones do not appear any further, except at the end of the episode. Following on from this, the series The Finder was first broadcast by Fox on January 12, 2012 on the Bones slot , but later moved to Friday, the so-called Death Slot , behind Fringe . Due to the rate development, The Finder was finally canceled after 13 episodes, the last episode ran on May 11, 2012.
