The show would love to shoot in other locations around the world like the did with the two-part London episodes. Memories from the episode “The Suit on the Set” where Booth and Bones are portrayed in the movies. Pelant will play a big role in season 8 as he continues to stay one step ahead. Had Emily or David read Kathy Reichs’ books before making the show?

A UK fans asks about their favorite part of shooting a episode in London. There’s no intention to jump forward in time to age the Bones babies. What is the nature of Max’s character? Is there a specific plan for the 150th episode yet? David and Emily mock special agent characters with foreign accents.

David thinks Buffy was wrapped up just as Joss wanted but he would be open to appearing in a movie if that should happen. Season 8 will have 4 unique episodes. One episode is from the perspective of the skull.
