When you have 23 crime novels as a source of material, you may think that writing a show will be as easy as possible to copy the books. But the "bones", based on the forensic anthropologist's book series, Dr. Katie Reichs, Temperament Brennan, is much more than direct adaptation. The Romanian series began in 1997 with "Deja Dead" and follows the career of forensic scientist Temperance "Bones" Brennan, whose names are led by the show. Temperament is, however, based on life and experiences of Reichs (who had sneaky cameo in the "bones" season 2), but the play itself deviates significantly from the books, introducing a brand new team of characters and stories.

"Bones" have run for 12 seasons from 2005 to 2017, with most episodes introducing new mysteries about Emily Deschel Brennan's temperament and David Borenaz's FBI's special agent Seli Booth, with the help of "Skier" at the Institute of Effeefon. As such, the show will quickly run out of ideas if you simply adapt mystery to episode books. Instead, the writers of the "bones" had to reach their own stories based on the characters of Reichs and do so, they used a process that differentiated their TV show from most others.

"Bones" began in 2005 with a pilot involving scenes taken out of real life. After all, the series was only loosely based on the series of books by D -Katie Reichs and had to find inspiration elsewhere to use her worldwide takeover of world Temperament Brennan, whose story had to be told in only one episode. To do this, the show writers developed a unique way of making episodes.

In the early days of the "bones", the creator of the show Hart Hanson spoke Hu For the process of writing the show, revealing that it is a little different from the typical approach of the writers' room. Asked if the writing phase is different from the other series, Hanson said, "A little different. The creator continued to detail how the writers "depict" the show in this way, with small groups developing episodes outlines before "writers leave to write the review on their own and then transfer to the first draft". He continued:

"Because of the speed we are moving, writers do not make as much drafts as I would like before I have to take it. It is always awkward to understand the show while on the go."

Usually, a story will be demolished by the writers' room as a whole before an episode is given to a specific writer to produce the first draft. This will then be returned to the group, which would refine it before further drafts were produced. At the "bones", Hanson seems to want to give up the initial stage of all writers to contribute to the review, rather than leaving writers with the task of developing the review and writing the first draft without contributing to all writing staff.

Although the "bones" uses the character of Temorry Brennan, the play itself is actually based mainly on Katie Reichs herself. As Hart Hanson said ScriptmagWhen he first began developing the show, he was based on a meeting with producer Barry Josephosephone, who secured the rights of the Documentary of D -Reichs. When Hanson came to develop "bones" based on this meeting, he thought he had only Reichs's life story, not the books. As the creator explained:

"I created the world of" bones "from that documentary. There is none of the original books in the show. In the books, Temperament Brennan is a 50-year-old, divorced, former alcoholic who has an adult daughter. It works in Montreal and North Carolina, in two forensic laboratories. But I didn't take any of that world. "

Only after Reichs proposed to use the name of Temperament Brennan for the main character, Hanson took something out of the books. As such, making "bones" direct adaptation of novels was never really on the cards, which meant that Hanson and his writing staff were tasked with producing completely original mysteries for Emily Deshanel's characters and David Borenaz to solve it as well as to create the whole world. When you have 22 episodes in a season, it's a hook for many mysteries to solve, and it seems that Hanson and the writers just had to use an unortodox writing approach to keep up with production requirements. When The "bones" were hit by the writers' strike, which only made things even heavier, resulting in a turnaround It remains controversial to this day.
