Trivia
Fisher mentions being a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997), which starred David Boreanaz. Joel David Moore, who plays Fisher, also guest starred on Buffy's Boreanaz-fronted spin-off Angel (1999).

Goofs
Booth incorrectly said that Bones had black hair when, in fact her hair is brown. At the time, Booth was taking Vicodin for back pain. The mistake actually served to show the effects of the medication and, perhaps, was not a goof at all.

Quotes
Special Agent Payton Perotta: Dr. Brennan, nice to see you. I was honored you requested me as a substitute for Agent Booth.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: The variables involved in breaking in a new person outweigh the benefits of possibly finding a better investigator.
Special Agent Payton Perotta: Ah, let's not get gushy about it.

Could Have Been Better

This episode brings us to the world of comic books and fantasy, including movies. It centers around the death of a beautiful woman with little moral sense. She had in her possession a sword worth hundreds of thousands of dollars because it was the earliest one used in the movies. Booth is having back trouble and when Brennan tries to do a correction, he is left in great pain. The other FBI investigator is on the scene. We also have the return of Fisher, the depressed intern, whose sadness drives everyone crazy. One of the problems with this is the cheap recreation of the big fantasy event. The costumes are tacky and lack much imagination. It's a cute episode but not very memorable.
