Bones ended its run on FOX last week, and the star of the series, Emily Deschanel, spoke about the series finale in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

The actress shared her thoughts on the finale and her favorite moments in it. She said the following:

“There are so many scenes leading up to the finale that got to me, and then scenes in the finale. The last scene with the squinterns — it was really special because I rarely get to see them all together. We’ve all had so many different times, just personally, off camera, and so many things have happened for all of them and for me over the course of working with them over so many years. Carla Gallo started tearing up, and then I started crying… My character is looking back and thanking them for everything all of their characters have done, so that was an emotional thing on camera and off, and it really allowed us to recognize the importance of that time. And it was the last scene I was going to film with them. My last scene shooting with our other regulars, like Tamara [Taylor] and Michaela and TJ, was just funny because it was just kind of a crisis situation, what we shot last. But the one saying goodbye to the squints, that really got to me.”

As for the show’s legacy, she wants fans to remember Bones in the following way:

“I would hope it’s remembered as the little show that could. It was a show that never got the attention of other shows, necessarily, but we went for so long, and our fans were so incredibly loyal.”

Bones aired on FOX for 12 seasons. Are you sad that the series ended? Tell us what you think.
