'Bones': Stephen Nathan on bringing the Gravedigger to justice
Ever since the Gravedigger buried Brennan and Hodgins alive
back in "Bones" season two, fans have begged for justice to be served.
But after torturing so many of "Bones"' beloved characters, we'd like to see the woman really pay.
So when show creator Hart Hanson teased at Comic-Con that the beginning of season five would bring not only a trial for the Gravedigger, but also reveal the contents of the letter Brennan wrote when she thought she was about to die, fans were understandably excited.
But seeing as the "Bones" crew will soon be preparing for the final stretch of the season -- and we've yet to hear anything more than a few cryptic tweets on the Gravedigger subject from executive producer Stephen Nathan -- KTV decided to investigate.
"We're exploring that [episode] idea because the Gravedigger, as the fans know, was set free," Stephen explains in the clip below. "And we're thinking there might be an attempt at trying to bring her to justice. To get rid of her once and for all. Whether that will be successful or not, we're not sure."
And what about that infamous letter? Most fans assume it was written to Booth, but Nathan was very coy on the subject.
"We're asking Brennan if we can see the letter, but she's not forthcoming," he joked. "Brennan won't tell us anything about it. We keep asking her. We even asked Emily [Deschanel, who plays Brennan] to ask her. We keep begging her for the answer. I don't know if she's telling us the truth or not."
We're guessing they'll get the truth out of Brennan
eventually. But rest assured, the Gravedigger is not a subject the writer-producers have forgotten about.
However, the rumored '40s-style, black-and-white ep we've been hearing about might not be as prominent in their minds at the moment.
"That might be [happening], but in truth, we're still working out the remainder of the season," Nathan said. "That might be something that we're going to re-examine next year, because we have a lot of big episodes [coming up] and we want to really do justice to the end of the season and we don't want to do anything that could compromise that."
Big episodes?
"Big emotional episodes," he said. "After the 100th
episode, Booth and Brennan's relationship will be different. And so we'll be
exploring where they go after that episode."
Since "different" could be either a good or a bad thing, we asked
for further clarification. Will the 100th leave Booth
and Brennan on angry, non-speaking terms?
"No, they'll be talking to each other," he assured us. "Looking at each other differently, I would say. I've got to be cryptic."
Cryptic, indeed.
Take a look...
You hoping they make room for a Gravedigger hour this season? Or are you more intrigued by these "big" episodes?

You do know that if the writers
don't ease our anxiety by
letting us see Booth and Brennan
kiss this season, that we, the
audience will lose interest in
"Bones" and stop watching. No
season 6, because we're bored
from all the emotional tugging.
Great interview! Oh really excited for these "big emotional" episodes to come! I'm glad that the Gravedigger is still coming back! I was worried there for a little while. And thank you so much for asking about the letter! :)
This show is so "over the shark" it's left the atmosphere
This show is so UNDER the shark that the ratings are climbing through the roof, thankyouverymuch!
I don't remember hearing that the Gravedigger was set free. When did that happen?
Damn right they need to be cryptic, we all know ep 100 isn't really going to change anything, kind of like how the finale didnt change anything, and they really did get bitten for over-hyping that! I'm not happy with the show at the moment, I kind of feel like if the show did manage to get renewed for another 5 years we'd still be in the exact same place with B/B. I watch this show for that relationship, not for anything else. The crime stuff is just filler for me, and that's what every episode is beginning to be. Yes the JFK one was good, but the X-File one was AWFUL! One of the worst, coupled with the suburb one. The show is going nowhere, and it's really starting to irritate me. I wont wait forever.

I am tired of the rotating interns. It's very distracting, espicially the Arastoo character. He is not likeable, and doesn't fit in with the group. Please get rid of him.
I'm sorry but I don't even remember who the Gravedigger is. Much less that it was a she and she was set free. I guess I may never know because Survivor is about to start again so I won't be watching Bones. I don't know if it has "jumped the shark" but Bones is not must see tv for me anymore; it comes in third behind Survivor and Vampire Diaries.
