David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel. Bones anyone?

                       

   You’re directing the finale, David.  Can you kind of talk about doing that and then, Emily, about being directed by David?

                           Well, it’s always a challenge to take on something like the season finale.  There’s – you know, you get to the end of the season and then everybody’s, you know, a little tired and worn out and, you know, the patience is thin, and with this specific season finale being that there was so much information that we kind of had to gather up and put out there in one 45-minute hit, it made it, you know, difficult and challenging.  There were lots of elements that were involved, whether it was, you know, dealing with the big, huge hearing in front of Congress or the intense battle between other forces that could come in and jeopardize Bones and Booths’ relationship as well as the outcome of where they’re heading into as far as season ten is concerned. So you take all that into account and it definitely is a journey and something that, by the end of it, you’re pretty exhausted.

I love being directed by David, and I’m not just saying that.  I say it to everybody who’s not on our set.  I think David is just really talented as a director as well as an actor.  He has a whole other career, if he wants it, when this thing’s over,  if he wants to do that he could make a whole career out of it. He’s great technically, he’s good with the actors, he’d decisive, he knows what he wants, he knows what he doesn’t want, he comes in and, like, I’m always just amazed at how he’s dealing with all these incredible elements and he makes  it seem so easy.  Yes, there’s huge scenes.  Like you said, the Congressional Subcommittee, there’s a lot that goes on in this episode, without giving too much away, but there’s a lot of elements and he does it all with ease, and I love working with him. So it was a pleasure, once again, to work with him as an actor, with him as a director and I think that the season finale, you know, working on it, it was a great experience.  It’s a really – there’s a big cliffhanger.  It’s – there’s a lot going on for Booth and for Brennan.  And so, I think everyone will be pleased.  I haven’t seen the episode yet, but everyone who’s seen it has been raving about it, so I’m really excited to see it myself.
