Ask Matt
Question: With Bones soon coming to a close, I have a question that I’ve been anxious to get the answer to for a while now. On most episodes, after they get a body to examine, they clean off all organic matter and are left with just the skeleton. Is it just me, or is the skeleton they use the same one every time? — Ken
Matt Roush: For this, I went to our in-house Bones expert, Marisa Roffman, who by coincidence had recently spent time with the guys who make the Bones body for an upcoming “Meet the Crew” feature for TV GUIDE MAGAZINE. Her report: “With the skeleton, it can’t be the same: having victims with different ages, heights, genders, damage to the bones, etc, they can’t use the same one every time. There are times part of the bodies are recycled, but it’s not the same skeleton (or remains) every week.”
Question: I have to say Scandal‘s premiere was really back to form. What did you think? — Al
Matt Roush: I’ll say this: It wasn’t dull. And any chance to see Bellamy Young chew the scenery, in defeat or otherwise, is a treat. Watching Olivia (Kerry Washington) go on the warpath against Cyrus (Jeff Perry), ABC’s second accidental president of the season, also promises to be good fun. This did seem more like the Scandal of old, and that’s probably a good thing.
