re: #184 wheat-dogg

My daughter is a TV Bones fan, so I’ve seen quite a few of the early episodes. I imagine they young-ified Tempe to make the show more palatable to 20-somethings (such as my daughter) than to old farts (like her father). But AFAIC Emily Deschanel is worth watching in any role. (BTW she’s now 40.)

Reichs is executive producer of the show, so I guess she’s got no problems with a younger Tempe.

And I especially like the TV show’s connection to ZZ Top by way of Billy Gibbons playing Angela’s musician dad.

I started watching the show thinking it would be like the books and I was disappointed at first but it seems like Reichs was having a lot of fun.
