David Boreanaz Tells All

I just got off a conference call interview with David Boreanaz of Bones. As always he was charming and very warm with us, even though he’ll probably have to talk to every entertainment reporter in the known world either today or tomorrow.

I will type up and post the entire interview as soon as possible, but I wanted to get a few bits out as quickly as possible. Here were a few of the topics that were touched on:

• When I asked him how Booth will evolve as a character this season he said that we’ll get to see more of the dark side of him. We have had an inkling of the fact that he was a sniper in the military and that he did endure some torture, but we haven’t seen how it affected him psychologically yet. He said that by the time we see him working with the team, he has himself together, for the most part, but we haven’t yet gotten to see what it takes for him to get ready each morning, etc. (I’m looking forward to finding out more about his “darker” side, aren’t you?)
• He says that at some time during the season, Zack will escape and come help the team with a case. (Apparently, he could be helpful in several cases this season.) And the interesting part is that Booth will have to take him back to prison.
• Since several of you commented that you didn’t see the “Cocky” belt buckle in any of the promo photos, I asked if we had seen the last of it and he laughed and said that it is definitely still around and we’ll continue to see it this season.
• He talked a bit more about the “fantasy” episode and I got the impression that some of the intimate scenes we’ve been teased with may be a part of that.

These were my questions and a couple of other highlights from the conversation. I’ll post the whole interview as soon as I can get it typed up.
