David Boreanaz seems like he's in a good mood, and it's understandable. On the personal front, he and his wife Jaime Bergman are expecting their second child at the time of this interview – daughter Bardot Vida has since been born, joining seven-year-old older sibling Jaden. On the professional front, BONES, the Fox network comedy-drama about the investigations and relationship of Dr. Temperance Brennan, played by Emily Deschanel, and Boreanaz's FBI agent Seeley Booth, is going into its fifth season, with a pick-up for season six already announced.

At a party thrown by Fox for the Television Critics Association and at a Q&A session on the Fox set, Boreanaz talks about what's going on with the spine of his series.

Booth woke up from a coma at the end of Season Four with some memory issues. How will that affect the character in Season Five? "He wasn't really in a coma," Boreanaz clarifies. "He had a brain aneurysm, it was removed. He just woke up from surgery, so I don't think that he was in limbo there. I don't think that it's going to be something that we're going to harp on for the whole season – you'll get bits and pieces of it, but not each episode. He'll eventually get all that [memory] stuff up. It'll be little things, like he forgot how to be a plumber, so he wanted to hire some guy to do the plumbing in his apartment, it cost him eight hundred bucks, he can't do it, [Brennan says], 'Well, I'll just give you the money,' he's, 'No, I'll just take care of it myself' and gets the Dummies Book for plumbing. It's that kind of stuff – not knowing exactly how to do things. In the first episode, he won't be dressed like Booth, standard black FBI guy, no socks, nothing. He doesn't remember. And it will slowly come back to him."

We may also be seeing more of Booth's workplace this year, Boreanaz suggests. "We are investigating [showing more of] the FBI, which I think is really interesting, because we have the squints [Brennan's fellow scientists], but we haven't seen much of the [FBI personnel] in Booth's world, which I think is really interesting to see, whether it's the FBI assistant or a CIA guy. We just worked with Christopher Duncan – he's a great actor and he brought so much to the show."

As for the relationship between Booth and Brennan, Boreanaz says it's, "Pretty much back down to Ground Zero, as far as a man trying to court a woman and convince her that his feelings are right for her, but it's hard because his brain's a little messed up, so I think we can go anywhere with it, and obviously, really maintain the strong sense of relationship that we have, that we've always had. It's always been about that, it always will be about that and where those two take us will really determine how it works out in a lot of ways. It feels like first season [in terms of freshness], but we know what we're doing."

The chemistry between Deschanel and Boreanaz has been present from the first, the actor observes. " It definitely developed from the moment the two of us met. This is the best twosome in television, I think, as far as relationships of characters are concerned. When I walked into the room and we were testing [actresses to play opposite the already-cast Boreanaz], there were two other girls. There was this one girl who wa all pretty much thought was the part, but when Emily and I worked the scene, there was definitely some magic that happened in the room, and when you are fortunate enough to catch that lightning in a bottle, you don't really have a sense of where it's going to go or how it's going to transform. So you work on it, and we have been working on it since Day One. In order to develop that chemistry, you have to trust the other person you're working with. With that trust come a lot of things that you can't really share with other people, because it's between the two of us, and I cherish that. [Deschanel] is not only someone I work with, but she has become part of my family that I can look at and say I enjoy the moments I have with her, because they lead to me becoming a better person, and in doing so, I learn about her, I learn about myself and hence we get chemistry. I think that chemistry as developed in the last seasons in a very strong way."

So what is Boreanaz looking forward to most with BONES this year? "Oh, man. Different types of socks I get to wear," he jokes, referencing Booth's often bold footwear. "No, I'm looking forward to his strong sense of self and figuring things out and making him more aware in his present life with [Brennan] and how she fits into his life, and maybe a realization or an epiphany about how maybe it doesn't work out at the end of the season. So there are a lot of ways we can go with this. I think that the relationship is the most important thing for me and it's already apparent – it's very strong right now, what the two of us are giving to each other, the trust that we have for each other. I'm looking forward to more people knowing the show, compared to last year. It seemed as though last year was a big year for us and we broke some walls and barriers. People said, 'Oh, you really broke out of a nice little shell there' and even today, people are saying, 'I saw your show for the first time, I'm hooked on it.' [During] the first two years of not really knowing where the show was and what was going on with it [in terms of time slot], we maintained." Now BONES has a solid eight PM slot on Thursdays. "It feels like we're keeping our stride in a way that's on a different level. So I'm looking forward to more viewers."

25 Best 'Will They/Won't They?' TV Couples

TEMPERANCE BRENNAN (EMILY DESCHANEL) AND SEELEY BOOTH (DAVID BOREANAZ)

Bones (2005-present)

Over four seasons, we've seen two opposites ' an excessively rational, socially awkward forensic anthropologist with abandonment issues and a gut-driven, occasionally goofy FBI special agent who believes in faith and love ' attract. As her respect for him as grown, so has his desire to protect her. Now that he's acutely aware of his feelings and how fragile her opening heart is, season 5 should be the most sexually frustrating yet.
Hit it or Quit It? We'd love to see them hit it for real (unlike in last season's fantasy-esque finale or when they were blackmailed to kiss under a mistletoe in season 3) during the last half of their final season ' whenever that may be.Until then, we'll settle for Boreanaz's longing, I-love-you-so-much-it-actually-hurts looks. Best in the business.

Ewwww NO, David....we DON'T want to see that boss of Booth's again!....as for the rest...I'm ok with that....yeah show more of the FBI stuff....no issues

No, I'm looking forward to his strong sense of self and figuring things out and making him more aware in his present life with [Brennan] and how she fits into his life, and maybe a realization or an epiphany about how maybe it doesn't work out at the end of the season. Woahhhhhhh! Hold up! What the hell does this line mean??? Damn confusing yaar!.....Why is he saying maybe it doesn't work out at the end of the season??....Is he just trying to confuse the fans as always??So there are a lot of ways we can go with this. I think that the relationship is the most important thing for me and it's already apparent ' it's very strong right now, what the two of us are giving to each other, the trust that we have for each other.

Anu, are you still here? I just read tomorrow is Arjun's birthday. I find it so hard to believe he is a Scorpio. All the Scorpio's I know are introverts. Technically I would say Mayank fits the profile of a Scorpio more than Arjun. Arjun is the exact opposite! :P BTW I have a feeling that blog of his will close down soon. I'm yet to check it out, but if fan girls crib about things to him daily, then the guy is going disable the comments.
