My idea for a Joss-penned Bones episode

[collex]

Ok, so this wild idea came from a discussion I had a some other board about how the most Whedonian show on the air right now could be argued to be Bones. WIth its instantly loveable characters, twisted plot, witty humor, relationships that ends badly (or never come to satisfying conclusions), weird change-of-pace episodes (Stewie Griffin and coma fantasy) and, of course, David Boreanaz, Bones has all the trapping of a Joss Whedon show.

So I came with the idea: hey, why don,t you get Joss to pen a Bones episode. And of course, because it's simply to easy to do (and because Bones a Fox show), the episode would be a Buffy shoot-out.

So, in this episode, Booth and Brennan would be called to investigate on a body found in Buffy convention. Following Sweets advice that "the only way fanboys will open to you is if they believe you are part of the group", Booth and Brennan goes undercover.

So the squints are all waiting to see Bones and Booth disguises before they begin their investigation. Brennan, wihtout any surprise, opt for the strong woman and dress as Buffy, blonde wig included. Then appears Booth (played by Angel, remember), wearing a leather coat, a red t-shirt and a blonde wig.

Angela -- And who are you?

Booth -- I'm Spike. Buffy's vampire lover.

Brennan -- But Booth, hasn't Sweets said that Angel was Buffy's true vampire lover?

Booth. Nah. Angel's a whiner. Spike way cooler don,t you think.

And then Booth and Brennan start to argue...

Of course, the viewer is now laughing his ass off because he is either

-- Watching Brennan and Booth having an argument about fictional characters for absolutely no reasons.
or
-- Watching Angel dressed as Spike.

So, What do you think? Would you watch that? Or do you have a better idea?

LOL. I'd watch. It would be awesome to have Joss write/direct an episode.

And then maybe some Buffyverse alumni could guest star as a suspect(aka: killer)

Why not? But who? (Ok, I,m going for James Marsters here, only becaue cameo is his specialty.)

Also, I had this crazy idea: what if our victim was David Boreanaz, killed by a jealous (or over-zealous) fan? The obessesive fanboy is a popular trope, it would give Sweets analysis a chance to shine, and come on, I want to see the looks on every one face when Angela shows them her drawng and it looks like Booth. As Angela tries to see if she is not losing her talent, Booth and Brennan goes back to the convention and encounter a poster saying "Guest Star: David Boreanaz"

Maybe someone who doesn't work as much like Emma Caulfield, Charisma Carpenter, Nicholas Brendon. And hey, Sarah's show didn't get picked up so after all the settling in with the baby she'd probably be around. It's be funny because they could have Booth have some weird attraction to her.

Haha, it would be awesome to have Sarah as a guest star and see the two of them working together again.

And, of course, Sarah would have to serve the usual "why arent you two not together again?" speech every woman on the show gives Bones sooner or later.

You know, I'm beggining to like this idea.But I have another. Say the episode is less Buffy-centric, and more Firefly-centric,s o we can have Nathan Fillion guest-star. I sure want to see Fillion and Boreanaz both wooing the same girl.

That would be awesomeness, and hilarious I'm sure!

Okay, I just thought of a great idea for this. There is some case where some guy dies and there are three main suspects. One played by Charisma Carpenter, one by Sarah Michelle Gellar, and the other played by Julie Benz and the hook... They are all Booth's exgirlfriends. Hilariousness ensues. (wouldn't HAVE to be Joss-penned though)

Why not just have a Castle/Bones crossover? Brennan and Castle are both writers with a competition, Booth helps Beckett with an investigation, sparks fly and we'd have Fillion and Boreanaz on-screen again. Also, I wanna see either James Marsters or Charisma Carpenter appear. Btw, I saw last night's episode and another Buffyverse actor: Andy Umbreger, better know as D'Hoffryn, once again playing a murderer caught by Boreanaz
