What's fictional in the Bones universe?

[paladinsuitsyou]

Most things:

Star Wars
Star Trek
X-files

Battlestar Galactica

The only thing that is emphatically NOT is the Veronica Mars-verse. Millicanon says they are one and the same.

Off the top of my head....

Brokeback Mountain
Firefly

I'm sure I'll be back with more.

*slips in, after having seen the Red Tape episode*

Ghostbusters mentioned in Bones universe. (And dude, Hodgins prolly got a kick out of using the flame thrower on those fire ants. *snicker*)

[bringonthewonder]

James Bond (Booth corrects Brennan on the Gordon Gordon Wyatt thing)

Blair Witch Project (Man in the Bear)

The novels of James Patterson and Sue Grafton ("Pattersonians and Graftonistas")

The Godfather (Hodgins referenced garotting and followed it up with "Please, someone, buy a DVD player")

Treasure of the Sierra Madre (the one movie Brennan knows)

Stargate (Hodgins accuses Zach of being a fan, along with Star Wars, Star Trek, and Battlestar Galactica)

Shakespeare (Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet have both been referenced)

Cabaret (Angela has quoted the "Life is a cabaret" lyrics trying to get Brennan out and about)

Clash of the Titans (Angela referenced it, with the word "horny" in the middle. Theoretically, I guess Aaron Echolls would have starred in it, given the VM/Bones crossover universe . . .)

How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Brennan is accused of being a Grinch)

Alien vs. Predator (Crystal in Accounting was after Hodgins)

He-Man (Angela fails to get Brennan to understand a Skeletor reference)

Rainman (Brennan is "an excellent driver")

Big (Brennan enjoyed Penny Marshall's "humorous treatment of the space time continuim")

The works of Neil Gaiman have been mentioned (Superhero in the Alley)

Lord of the Rings (Booth references throwing a ring into a molten river of lava)

The Fugitive (Christine Brennan/Ruth Keenan had the ticket stub in her pocket)

Born Free (Was not a good source of title inspiration. Was also not fiction, but was a movie)

Desperate Housewives (One metal for each of them, in the man in the bathtub's ring)

The movies of Clara Bow (Brennan is a fan, and frankly, I think the bar needs more silent movie characters)

The Exorcist and Nightmare on Elm Street are two of Booth's examples of levels of weird

The Epic of Gilgamesh (yeah, now I'm just getting WAY too detailed)

Hannibal Lecter is mentioned in The Man in the Bear- so I guess that would cover Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, and other related works.
