This plan failed, however, as the spin-off The Finder went off the air after only one season. The series followed a man with the uncanny ability to find things. It wasn't quite as interesting as Bones ' murder-solving plots and viewers tuned out en masse after Fox moved the show's timeslot to Friday nights following an unexpected hiatus only seven weeks into the show's debut.
Not having the Thursday night Bones lead-in proved to be the death of The Finder and the series ended shortly after. Just as its spin-off The Finder met certain doom after a sudden change in its airtime, Bones was afflicted by poor ratings thanks to Fox constantly shifting it around on the schedule. Obviously, after an year run, the show was bound to lose viewers, and it did. In its penultimate season, the series drew a paltry 0. However, things got much worse when Fox decided to do a little shuffling to its line-up.
Fox put the show on an extended hiatus halfway through season 11 that wouldn't see its return for the back half of the season until three full months had passed. This forced the show to wrap up in July, an incredibly odd time for a season finale in network television. It's not unusual for a star to confirm or deny the status of a series. They usually get it right, since they only show up to set every day, you know. However, sometimes, they get it very, very wrong, as was the case when David Boreanaz announced to all of Twitter that Bones would be ending after season 8.
Boreanaz told his Twitter followers that the series' would likely not be back to the San Diego Comic-Con after their appearance. He went on to say that after season 8 wrapped, he would once again be a "free agent," as in he would be out of a job. Series creator Hart Hanson completely denied the rumors of the show's end, stating that it had at least 9 or 10 seasons in it.
Turns out they were both wrong-- Bones ended up enjoying a season run. David Boreanaz wasn't the only one expecting Bones to end before its time. His co-star, Emily Deschanel, didn't expect the series to reach season 12 either. In fact, she fully expected the procedural series to end after only season 3. However, maybe not for the reasons you might think. Way back in season 9, with still another three seasons to go, Deschanel revealed her total surprise at the show's outstanding longevity.
The actress admitted that she had been blown away by the series' success and that she couldn't fathom more than three years at the start of the show. She wasn't so much doubting the content as she was keeping it humble.
Deschanel was clearly very grateful for everything that the series went on to become. We don't actually expect fictional TV shows to be a totally accurate representation when it comes to complicated, real-world science.
However, it would be nice if they got something right. According to an actual bioarchaeologist, even when Bones gets it a bit right, they still get it very wrong. Along with a list of ways that the series' episodes completely mangled the science at the heart of the plot, Kristina Killgrove had plenty to say about the show's list of "good" science too.
For example, in season 6's episode 16, Killgrove maintained that even though the science was sound, the assertion that the Jeffersonian wouldn't have a generator was absurd. Killgrove pointed out many similar issues, from improper usage of scientific techniques to Brennan's frequently inaccurate pronunciation of various Latin phrases. The viewer is the one who is supposed to have a negative reaction to the bones and blood and gore of a procedural series, not the stars.
However, according to Emily Deschanel, Bones grossed her out just as much as the rest of us, if not more so. It's just the things that creeped her out were much different In an interview with Today , Deschanel admitted that yes, she got grossed out by her own show, but not by the actual bones and death. It was "weird" things that really got to her. Deschanel relayed a story involving coral inside a bone that really bothered her-- just the coral itself. She said the porousness was what really did her in.
She then jokingly claimed to have eaten lunch surrounded by all the fake corpses. Viewers were totally shocked by the big reveal that Zack Addy had been season 3's cannibalistic serial killer Gormogon's apprentice. Some of the crimes he commits not only depends on computers and other forms of technology, but also on human behavior, such as the behavior of the people he faced during his crime spree. He uses the information he accumulated from Sweets' files to manipulate people into doing exactly what he wants them to do in order to use the criminal justice system against them.

Goofs Hodgins identifies the traces of metal as tamahagane, and the team links it to the fact that Pelant's grandfather fought in the Pacific theatre during the Second World War. The tamahagane is just a traditionally made steel and its composition can vary greatly between batches. Furthermore, average composition does not differ from average tool steel used throughout 20th century, so spectrometric identification of tamahagane is virtually impossible.
Hodgins could have matched the trace to a sword only if he had been asked to check that particular weapon. Additionally, vast majority of swords carried by Japanese officers were mass-produced from stamped steel, as tamahagane smelting and processing is a time-consuming and thus expensive process.
