THE SEASON SO FAR

THIS WEEK IN A NUTSHELL
A dismembered body is found in twelve parts, with the head missing. The victim is Jared Addison an Obsessive Compulsive Science fiction writer, who lived with his mother. He was dating a women 28 years his senior, he recently overcame his disorder, had confrontations with his publisher, his coffee man, and his girlfriends son. As they investigate Booth is having back pains and Bones gets to drive the car.
Meanwhile the latest Zack replacement worries that Bones wants him to be her boy toy and Hodgins is butting head with Cam over moving into Zack’s working space. We see him visit his best bud in the hospital and giving him the file in case he can find something they overlooked.
At the very end after Zack strolls out of the Mental Institution and pinpoints the mother as the murderer, he admits to Sweets that he did not stab anyone. I feel so much better about the whole thing. He refused to allow Sweets to tell his friends, because he feels that given the order he would have killed him. Kudos to the writers for revealing that, I know a lot of fans were adamant that Zack would never kill anyone but it was possible he could be persuaded to a certain way of thinking.
THE GOOD:
Zack!!! I was pissed when he was revealed to be Gormogon’s apprentice, but this episode soothed my aching heart. I loved how he switched the barcode strip on Sweets ID with the one on his library card. Absolutely awesome. How sad was it to see Hodgins visiting his best friend in a mental institution? *sniff*
The scene with Zack, Cam, Angela, and Hodgins in the restaurant. It was bittersweet as they will probably never get to hang out like that again. It’s too bad Bones wasn’t there to complete the team.
Sweets on the Case. In this episode he actually had something to do, instead of tagging along and making remarks about Booth and Bones relationship. When he analyzed the victims room I burst into laughter, I don’t know what it is about that character but he just cracks me up.
THE BAD
I really didn’t like the Bones/Booth subplot. The whole ‘you’re always defending me’ and ‘I’m a man, its what I do.” just fell flat. And I am really tired of Sweets sticking his puny little head into their conversations to say.. “This is an interesting development….” *rolls eyes*
THE UGLY
I was so happy to see Zack but was anyone else rolling their eyes when Zack escaped from the hospital and just walked into the Jeffersonian? I mean c’mon, he helped them out, went to dinner, and then strolled back into the Institution…..*shakes head* A little too easy.
The misleading advertisements,: Nothing even happened! *shakes head* they made it out to be a huge thing and while I am glad they didn’t go that route with Bones, I’m still irritated.
QUOTES
Sweets: What if he overpowers me?
Bones: Zack? I think you can take him.
Zack: I’m stronger than I look.
Zack to Sweets: “Hodgins assured me I would not do well in prison.
Well, that’s my two cents. What do you guys think? Did you know all the time that Zack didn’t kill anyone personally? Are you tired of the Bones/Sweets/Booth mini sessions in the middle of investigations? Was I the only one irritated by the misleading ads? Leave your two cents below!
Love Bones!! Glad to see Zack back and helping. I liked seeing Hodgins talking to Zack, he misses him so much. I, too, liked how they revealed Zack did NOT kill the anyone.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad Eric Milligan will return later this season, Bones is still good but not the same without our lovable Zack.
