History Trivia / Bones

** Bones' AmbiguousDisorder would not have made much sense to be called "autism" (WordOfGod has mentioned the subset Aspergers, but it was never used on-screen) when the show began development and production. By the end of its run, the scientific consensus was that the condition ''does'' include both women and highly intelligent people and it's hard to see Bones' as anything else. Her ineptitude with metaphor jumps out in particular and is considered ''very'' specific, even more than the NoSocialSkills.

** This show might have been one of the most notable examples of it in modern television: In 2015, a massive lawsuit was filed by 2 of the shows Producers along with stars Boreanz and Deschanel accusing Fox of hiding profits and avoiding paying them what they were owed. 4 years later, the suit settled for 129 million in hidden profits, after an arbitrator found multiple instances of blatant fraud on the side of Fox execs.

* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** [[spoiler:Zack Addy. Early on in season 4 he reveals to Sweets that his killing of the lobbyist was only MetaphoricallyTrue, and [[CharacterRerailment he hadn't actually committed the murder]]. This makes Zack's only crime being an accessory to murder]].
** After Pelant [[spoiler: coming in between the engaged Booth and Brennan]] in the Season 8 finale ignited fans' rage, the writers decided to quickly wrap up the plotline, [[spoiler:killing off]] Pelant in episode 4, and having Booth and Brennan tie the knot in episode 6.

* NamesTheSame: James Aubrey has the same name as a former CBS network president.

* McLeaned:
** [[spoiler: Vincent Nigel-Murray was killed by Broadsky due to Ryan Cartwright]] leaving the series to be a main character on another show.
** A more harsh example with [[spoiler: the death of Sweets; John Francis Daley (whose writing and directing career was picking up steam)]] [[http://tvline.com/2014/10/02/john-francis-daley-interview-bones-why-did-he-leave-sweets/ requested]] a four-month leave to direct a movie with full intention of returning to the show once it was completed. Showrunner Stephen Nathan instead opted to kill off his character in the season premiere, feeling it would be better for him to dramatically die, than to have him vanish for half a season, and possibly having to write him out again later on.
