The last season of the TV Show Bones airs tonight on Sky Living 9pm and I for one will be mourning the death of the show which I have followed since episode 1 in 2006. No more FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) and forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) who I have watch grow from work colleagues, lovers, husband and wife to parents and a lot in-between.
If you have never watched it, first shame on you and here is the premise of the whole show. Bones and Seeley Booth team up with her team at the Jeffersonian Institute Medico-Legal Lab where they help identify human remains of possible murder victims. The reason for the involvement of the Jeffersonian is that the bodies are normal badly decomposed. Booth provides FBI criminal investigation techniques and the ongoing dynamic between Bones and Booth is their disagreement about science and faith.

Bones team are important to the storyline with Booth calling them "squints'" a term which has evolved from a derogatory term to one which is used affectionately to all Jeffersonian scientists. Each member of the team have their speciality and different interns throughout the series join them in the lab.
In addition to the prospective murder cases featured in each episode, the series explores the backgrounds and relationships of its characters. Brennan argues for science, evidence, and atheism. Booth argues for intuition, faith, and God. The series is also known for its dark comedic undertones, which serve to lighten the gravity of the show's intense subject matter and often at the expense of Bones. She also goes out on investigation with Booth.
In this, the 12th and final series Booth and the lab team race against time to locate the kidnapped Brennan. The team believe former colleague Zack Addy (Eric Milligan) as taken her and fear that Addy is the elusive serial killer ‘The Puppeteer’.
