Show: Bones Talent: Emily Deschanel Job: Actress (Dr. Temperance Brennan) Airdate/Time: February 18, 2013 8:00pm Network: Fox Interesting Tidbits Emily Deschanel is a vegan and she grew up in Italy, Canada, France, Yugoslavia, England, and South Africa. Emily Deschanel is a talented actress that has appeared in numerous movies and TV shows. She is also the older sister of Zooey Deschanel (Jess from the other hit Fox TV Show “New Girl”). However, she is best known these days as the witty and attractive forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance “Bones” Brennan on the show “Bones,” which is shown on Fox every Monday at 8pm. The show revolves around Dr. Brennan and her FBI Agent partner/ love interest Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) as they solve murder cases and mysteries. Shakefire had a chance to talk to Emily about the show and a bit about her sister Zooey. SF: Out of curiosity, do you ever get grossed out by any of the bodies and everything on the show? Yes, I do get grossed out, but the ones that mostly have really affected me were earlier on in the series. I think I really have become desensitized, which I don't think is necessarily a good thing, but it happens. I, for research on the show, have gone to the coroner’s office and that was much more disturbing to me than what we do on our show because I know it's fake, and it doesn't stink like it does there, but yes, it can be definitely disgusting. It's a big encounter. Basically, my character is shot, and then I have an encounter. She believes it is a hallucination, at least at first, where she is transported to her childhood home and she sees her mother. She interacts with her mother, who is dead, and she believes it's a hallucination. She then flat lines. So many people will interpret it to be that she's gone to heaven. Her interactions with her mother reveal things from her past. Also it effects Brennan now and encourages her to have a different perspective on her behavior and possibly encourage her to change it. Brooke Langton, who plays my mother in this episode, did such a great job, and I really enjoyed working with her. She's just very inventive as an actress, very giving, and it was a really good experience working together. It felt right to have her play my mother, and I really enjoyed that. The minute you become a parent, I think that you’re always going to wonder if you’re doing something wrong, and I certainly experience that on a daily basis. It’s a big challenge and I just think that it’s probably a bad thing for a parent to do, because you don’t want your child picking up on that, but you can’t help wondering if you’re doing anything wrong. You have to trust your instincts and do what feels right for you. Brennan, obviously, is going through that in the beginning of this episode. Booth and Brennan have a fight. Brennan believes that Booth is criticizing her parenting style, and runs out and ends up in the lab again at night to go finish working on this case, and that’s when she gets shot. Basically, it’s quite fitting, of course, that Brennan is dealing with her own issue of being a mother herself and, at the core of that, is missing her own mother. I think that’s also something that, when you’ve lost a parent, you just want to be able to call them up on the phone and say, how do I cook that thing you used to make for me, how do I do this, what did you do with me when I was a child, how am I supposed to do this as a parent and just life skills? Especially, when you have a child yourself, you go back and think about how you were parented, how you were mothered, what your parents did for you, and you just want to be able to call them and ask them. I think that’s a huge thing that Brennan is not talking about, but it’s got to bring up so much for her when she’s giving birth and she’s lost her mother and just trying to figure out how to be a good parent, how to be a good mother and not having that resource of her mother. It also brings back so many memories and makes her miss her mother. So, it’s quite fitting that this issue that she’s dealing with, in a way, causes her to see her mother again and hopefully helps ease those pains that she’s dealing with because doesn’t have her mother around.
