The He in the She - S4-E7

Character mistake: Bones tells Cam she isn't able to ascertain sex of the victim due to no pelvic bone. However numerous times in the show she is able to confirm sex with just the skull. What's different here? (00:03:00)

Suggested correction: Maybe this skull was more ambiguous than the others. Unless she said it in a way that suggests you generally can't determine sex from a skull, I don't see it as a mistake. (I only watched the German version where it sounded neutral.)

The point of the mistake is that Bones states she needs a pelvic bone to determine the sex of the victim. This is not true, as she does this multiple times without the pelvic bone, and if she's unsure from a skull, she says "unable to determine sex at this stage" or words to that effect.

Visible crew/equipment: When Bones, Hodgins, Cam and Vincent work out the victim was hit twice and it's murder, a lime green tape marker is visible between Vincent's feet. (00:34:20)

The He in the She - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: The way Booth holds the taper recorder during the first interview changes between shots. Note his fingers. (00:18:00)

The He in the She - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: Booth picks up a large white picture frame of the victim and holds it in his left hand. When the camera changes he turns around and is now holding it in his different hand. (00:08:20)

Trivia

The Dwarf in the Dirt - S5-E7

Trivia: At around 5 mins 11 seconds into the episode, Vincent Nigel-Murrey and Dr. Saroyan are discussing the bones on the forensic platform. In the background of a shot of Vincent, the x-ray on the screen is of Homer Simpson's head in the middle of the screen, instead of a real human skull.

Questions

The Woman in the Car - S1-E11

Question: Pickering is interviewing the team from the Jeffersonian. When she gets to Bones, she mentions someone's name and Bones rings a phone number and Pickering is told not to move and all her notes are to be destroyed. What is Bones' relationship to the person Pickering mentioned?

Ssiscool ★

Chosen answer: Pickering states the name "Juan Guzman" and during the run of the show we are never told who he is, or why Brennan had been in Cuba and met with this Juan Guzman. We don't know if there is any kind of "relationship" between Brennan and Guzman. A bit frustrating, but I like how this short scene shuts down Agent Pickering's entire review, and it hints at Brennan's career history and her level of security clearance.

Super Grover ★

Thanks for the clarification. It's been a while since I watched the series start to finish. It also adds to show how much power Brennan actually has.

Do you remember when Bones was telling Angela about the time she was on one of her out of the country trips, and she was thrown in a dark cell for what she later found out was 3 days? She was crying and looked terrified as she remembered this. She had that same look as someone who was remembering past trauma when Pickering said this name. I kind of always thought that "Juan Guzman" was the one who did that.
