I really like being pregnant. I’m in awe of the process and the science. And seeing my belly move is pretty amazing; it’s like in the movie Alien. — Emily Deschanel, star of Bones.
I may think that Bones is one of the most predictable and sappy of the crime scene dramas out there, but I will happily give it credit for this one thing: it has made seven seasons of successful television by presenting a vastly intelligent, socially awkward, independently successful woman as its main character. A female Spock, if you will, the very kind of character that Gene Roddenberry was forbidden to put into original Star Trek.
But I digress: only a true nerd would liken being pregnant to Alien and mean it in a good way. Emily Deschanel, we salute you.
