'Bones': T.J. Thyne talks Hodgins' hair in the 100th episode

The "Bones" 100th episode will flash back to one full year before the pilot took place and, as T.J. Thyne (Hodgins) explains in the clip below, we will see most of the characters meeting for the first time.

So, naturally, one of the show's major concerns was hair. For some characters however, the concern was more complicated than for others.

"It's very funny," says Thyne. "There's people that have written to me and said, if they just catch an episode, they always know what season it is based on the length of my hair."

Indeed Jack Hodgins did have a lot of locks back in the day, so Thyne and series star David Boreanaz -- who also directed the ep -- spent quite some time deciding what to do about it. "There will be more hair for sure," Thyne reveals. "Because it was a big fro when I did the pilot."

As for the tone of the episode, Thyne assures us that it won't be dark: "It's very playful and fun and I think anyone that's been actually with us the whole time, through these 100 episodes, will find it really charming. It's got that 'Bones' quirk to it and it's very fun. It's neat to see how relationships developed and how the lab developed ... even reading it, I found myself smiling ... [but] there are some big surprises." 

Big surprises, huh?

Anyone want to guess what those "surprises" may entail?

When I first read about the flashback, that was my first thought, too. What about the hair?! The hair just has to be RIGHT for it to work. Angela has to wear bangs, Brennan has to wear a pony tail, Booth needs his helmet hair, Hodgins needs his 'fro, and Zack needs the shaggy 'do. I'm really curious about what they're doing with Caroline Julian and Cam as far as the flashback style goes. :)

Great interview! Korbi you and t.j. should go on a date you look cute together. i hope you don't think it's rude of me to say so!

I just love flashback/This-is-how-everyone-met-and-why-they're-so-close episodes. In fact, it's such an interesting topic, I'm surprised they haven't done it sooner. Nice they saved it for the 100th episode, though.

I agree. Can't wait to see it.

I think the Suprise is that B/B slept together or a the least made out When they First meet......My thoughts

ZACK!!!! I am Looking forward to the episode so much!

When will the episode air??

@Erica
April 8th on Fox

I can't wait!
So true about Hodgins hair though. When I started watching it during the 3rd season, all the episodes I could find, I could only tell from how long his hair was!

I keep on wondering what they're going to do about Brennan. In the first season she always wore her hair back and she also didn't wear any makeup and she wore really boyish clothes and didn't really have any fashion sense. I hope they put that in. Also, Cam's not in this episode is she? Cuz she and bones met in season 2.

I love this show. The characters are great. Terrific actors,great writing and story lines.
One show I never miss.
