Mistakes In 'Bones' You Never Noticed

Have you noticed that in several episodes of Season 1 of 'Bones', the red and blue police lights on the rear of 'Booth's' FBI Tahoe are pointing towards the interior of the car? This is especially noticeable in episode 20 when they drive to the small town. However, with the lights directed inwards, they cannot be seen from the outside and may potentially blind the car's occupants.

Everything goes faster in 'Bones': In one episode, the lab technicians use stereolithography (3D printing) to replicate a set of bones in seconds. In real life, however, such a task would take hours to a full day. Another error is quite obvious, see next picture.

When "Dr. Temperance Brennan" and "Special Agent Seeley Booth" are shown driving together in the dark SUV and receive a call that requires them to change course, the same footage of their car turning around is repeatedly used for at least two seasons and in almost every episode of 'Bones'. This suggests that the makers of the show were likely attempting to save money by reusing the same footage.

We have a correction from the botanical section regarding your inquiry. In the series, the 'Jeffersonian Institute' is depicted as being located in Washington, DC, and palm trees are always visible in the shots of the building. However, in the District of Columbia where the city is situated, there are no palm trees at all.

In the first season, 'Bones' says she was in a nursing home until her grandfather got her out - though in later seasons she claims she never met her grandparents. Was she just forgetful?

An error has been noticed in the series 'Bones' where the main character is seen driving in 'Booth's' car with the window rolled down on several occasions. Despite the car's speed, her hair does not appear to be affected by the wind, which creates an inconsistency in the scene.

Throughout the series, "Brennan" mentions "Booth's" claim that he is a direct descendant of John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of US President Abraham Lincoln. However, this claim appears to be impossible, as genealogy websites indicate that John Wilkes "Booth" had no children and only one of his brothers had a son who survived to adulthood. The direct male "Booth" line died out after this generation, and while some of the Booth sisters had sons, they carried other surnames.

In the TV show 'Bones,' there are scenes where 'Booth' is shown firing a gun, but he blinks and twitches, which would likely disqualify him as a well-trained sniper. Furthermore, in some instances, the character appears to disregard basic safety procedures, as seen in the accompanying picture.

Several times, "Booth" is shown on the shooting range without hearing protection, eye protection, or even both. Nobody would do that in real life...
