Bones

out of all 6 seasons i think this season finale was the most riveting and dramatic. it was unpredictable and exciting and that is how a finale should be. it didn't really leave a cliffhanger but it the flair and drama was worth the lack of a cliffhanger. because the only time cliffhangers are worth it is when they are done right, and most of the time they aren't. i was about ready to cry at booth's funeral i was really hoping it was a dream or something, but the writers never cease to amaze me, and when gormogon's assistant was found it was the most shocking moment in bones history (i think).

Perhaps one of the worst season finales I ever see. The arch-story seems to be fast-ended, bad developed (only a few episodes for a good idea) and worst of all, the "elimination" of one great character as an excuse for the ending. Watching this season sometimes I think the writers don't know how exactly the story must end. The tell some details about the Gorgomon "mythology" but they just turn the type into a bad anibal lecter-like serial killer. The idea of an aprentice is great but bad developed. The worst error is to think that some character as dr. Addy won't go directly to Bones because to ask about the Gorgomon or to invite to join because she's perhaps more logical than imself.

This episode made me so sad the start with us thinking booth was dead was terrible i thought it would be the last ever episode of bones but the when he is alive and brennen punches him is just priceless, and deffernatly said some things about there relationship.



The fact that it was zack was sad and the whole ending just made me cry, there was only one thing wrong with this the fact as we find out later that he didn't kill anyone means he would never had gone to gaol truthfully they could only of charged him with being an accomplaise but he still wouldn't of spent any gaol time in the trial all his lawyer would of had to say is his a naturally submissive person coupled witht the fact he had just returned from Iraq means they would never of gooten a conviction (just my two cents i know it is only a show)



The show is not and never will be the same for true fans without Zack

In this episode of Bones, the following happens. We open this episode seeing Booth's death and then we see everyone leaving to go to Booth's funeral. Bones says that she's not going, but since she won't, listen to anyone, Angela has a word with her. She asks Bones to go with her, to support her, as she needs her best friend. Then we jump to the funeral, and see everyone gathered around the coffin, at the grave site. And then, as we see the men who fire the guns into the air, one of them looks an awful lot like Booth, and as the screen moves closer, it becomes clear that it is Booth. Now I'm confused. We see a man dressed in black moving towards the coffin, and then Booth (I think) runs towards him and as the man pulls out a gun, the coffin overturns. We see that inside is a mannequin. With the 2 men fighting, Bones hits the attacker over the head with one of the arms, and then as Booth starts to talk to her, she punches him. Back at the lab, Booth tells her that the FBI faked his death, after he was shot so that they could catch a man who has been after Booth for years. Then back at the lab, a package arrives of Bones which has a human jaw inside with silver screws, which leads them all to believe that Gormogon is back. We then see Booth in his bath tub enjoying a drink and listening to some music, which is interrupted when Bones enters the room. They argue over the fact that she didn't know that he was still alive. We soon learn that the jaw belongs to the Gormogon's last victim. During one of Hodgins and Zach experiments, an explosion happens, and as they race to help, Hodgins looks ok, but Zach's hands look badly damaged. We then see Zach in the hospital, with Bones and Booth, and we see his hands all bandaged up. Back at the lab, we soon learn that the ingredients were switched and that is how the explosion happened. We soon find out that Sweets had the list of people who were going to find out about Booth's "death" and that it was his decision not to tell Bones. And for some reason she seems ok with it. But when their alone, Bones tells him the truth, and that he better not do it again. When they head down to the Gormogon vault, we see that the skeleton has gone. We learn that it happened when the explosion happened, and we learn that the explosion was an inside job and that Gormogon works in the lab. And so everyone who works in the building is now a suspect. Sweets then comes to Booth and Bones and tells them that he believes that Gormogon is Hodgins. Bones refuses to believe it and leaves. Soon Hodgins himself as evidence that points to him, or at least someone that lives in his area, due t the lead found in the tap water that was used to boil the victim jaw. Soon they realise that the jaw was stored in their "Limbo" and so they all in Bones's grad students to help them go through the boxes, believing that other victim maybe there. When they start looking over Zach's work, they see that he has been making mistakes. Soon we realise that Gormogon is in fact ZACH. And so Booth and Bones go to question Zach, he admits that he planned on sneaking out of the hospital, but his friends were always at his side. And that he set up the explosion and that Gormogon is actually called the Master. We learn that he was first approached only 3 months ago, and that he doesn't know his name, but he has been to his house. We then see Booth and the FBI as they finally find Gormogon and as they find him, he is eating meat, probably human, Booth shots him and kills him. We then see Zach being arrested and questioned at his hospital bed, and everyone standing outside. Zach confesses to killing the last victim, but he never actually ate anybody. Zach cuts a deal so he will be going to a psychiatric hospital instead of prison. As the episode and the season ends, we see everyone sitting round the table talking about Zach. As they look through his things of what they gave him, Bones gets upset as she realises that she never gave him anything. She walks away and Booth goes after her. He then hands a letter, about Zach getting the internship, which he kept.

First a word about the previous episode (as it is relevant to this one). The stalker was well written, in fact it was the best writing for a delusional character I have heard, the actress was great and the storyline in general had a great potential. But it was rushed.



Now it seems weird and out of character for Booth to fall for this and Brennan shoots a woman without the hint of remorse making her a killer just like her father. Remember when she shot that guy back in the pilot? For months we'd hear about that whenever a gun popped up, but here she actually ends a human life and nobody even raises an eyebrow.



Then the fake funeral and the fight and the experiment and the feelings. That alone could have taken up another episode. I certainly wouldn't have liked it, given that much of the show's character derives from the Brennan/Booth relationship it would simply be boring to watch them rebuild trust. That twist, that Booth wasn't guilty of not informing Brennan would have had more weight in a full length storyline and was done very poorly.



Now comes the real piece of work. The Gormagon storyline. Ever since Sweets walked into the lab I suspected him of being Gormagon's apprentice. I never doubted Hodgins for a second it was obvious that he wouldn't cry wolf all the time if he was roasting it back home. (Where Angela spent all her time)

Since the writers had thrown out Hodgins as a possible suspect in previous eps it was clear that it wasn't actually him.

Sweets seems to be a tool to advance the Booth/Brennan relationship on the fast forward button. Just by themselves B/B started to circle each other and I understand that the writers needed something to shake things up. Therefor he could not go. Personally I hoped it was him and I never liked the character or the actor.

Booth wasn't an option because his religion had proven in the past to be too oppressing for him to start eating people. (which is not as negative as it may sound ;) ) Plus Brennan could not stand to loose another trusted friend without imploding.

Given that the writer's had made it so that Gormagon's apprentice was working in the lab and that he was a young male Zach was the only possible culprit.



Would a person of such intelligence be able to kill? Most definitely. But would he also fall for the reasoning behind the cannibalism? Doubtful. And would Zach ever miscalculate? very unlikely. Would he work towards capturing his own mentor without causing suspicion? The boy who is incapable even of the smallest deception? Impossible.

It might have worked had the writers had more time to build up to this climax. They may have caught a few mistakes along the way: How did Zach steal the Skeleton? Why would he risk his career of putting murders away, betray his friends and family when they meant so much to him?



It just seems to me (especially taking into consideration the trial episode of Brennan's father) that due to the writer's strike the season's length did not meet the writers need to full develop all storylines layed out in the first half of the season.

Or perhaps three different and complex story archs (Brennan's father, Gormagon, B/B vs Sweets) were just too much too handle for these writers. We'll never know.

This was very sad. When I saw Booth's funeral I was crying. It bothered me that Bones did not care that her partner had died! I did not really understand who they were after. The guy was just at Booth's funeral for no reason! Who was he? The Gormogon story line/plot is great! I love it! I was so upset when Zach blew himself up! I did not think that it would be Zach! I thought well they did not kill him so he will be back in oter seasons. It is now the 5th season and he is stil not back. It bothers me because he was great! the lab is not the same without ZaCH. I was crying when they said he would be going to the Insane Assylum. I miss Zach so much. Clark and Wendell and all the others that have tried to replace Zach are just mot good enough! They are not as funny. This was a good episode but i feel it could have been 2 episodes. The begining half and the gormogon half. They should have made the person someone else. NOT ZACH. The show is not as fun without him. Nobody can replace zach and they should now that and bring him back. When they bring zach back that will be my favorite episode.

It is and always will be a real pity that Hart Hanson didn't choose "The Verdict in the Story" to be this season's finale and to leave this episode out altogether. Only think, if it hadn't been for the writers' strike Bones would have been one of the very few shows not to ruin its impeccable record...



Seriously? Brennan believes her partner, her friend, her Booth to be dead and she doesn't shed one tear? Fine, Sweets tested her, how she would react emotionally to that great a loss but Brennan punching Booth because she was hurting and storming into Booth's bathroom didn't convince me of her real feelings for Booth. And Booth not being more upset about her lack of emotion? I just didn't buy it - I mean, those two talk about everything...literally everything. They wouldn't talk about something as important as what they just went through? Him taking a bullet for her, her lack of emotion, his lack of emotion?



Considering that Bones is the charming, heartwarming, entertaining and brilliant show that it s because of the quality of the interaction between its two protagonists, their dialogue, their chemistry and the intensity of their relationship this episode was very disappointing, almost heartbreaking in its failure to live up to the standard of this show.



I wish I could blend this episode out forever and forget it was ever part of the Bones canon.



Maybe the problem lies in the fact that simply too much happened in this episode and the writers/creators didn't take the necessary time to focus on Brennan's and Booth's relationship. Ruining Zach's character for ever? Another poor choice...very, very poor choice. We have come to love Zach over the last 3 years. How can a Bones fan go back to watching all the previous seasons and episodes of Bones without a bad feeling in their stomach everythime Zach appears on the screen? And another thing, if TPTB decide to turn a series regular into a villain it should be done with lots of care and thought - make the fan understand their decision and convince them that it was a brilliant move, worth the loss. In Zach's case we were overran with something completely out of the blue - there was no built-up, no intense surprise, just bafflement, in the most negative sense this word can have. This episode was definitely not worth having an additional hour of Bones...truly sad.

We start out with Bones refusing to go to Booth's funeral, until Angela convinces her to go for support. At the funeral Bones expresses how angry she is that Booth chose to die to save her. A man steps forward to lay a rose on Booth's casket, when all of the sudden one of the soldiers leaps forward and attacks the man. Everyone's surprised when he falls to the ground, losing his helmet, and we realize it's really Booth! The casket is knocked open and we see a plastic body inside. Bones grabs the fake arm of the body and knocks the suspect to the ground. As Booth goes to talk to her she angrily right hooks him in the face, then storms off while onlookers are shocked. We find out that Booth faked his death to catch a criminal and swears that Bones was on the list to be told that he wasn't really dead. Bones then is given a package with someone's bottom jaw in it, it also shows signs of being cannibalized. They go chasing around the lab after an explosion blows up with Hodgins and Zack in the lab, and the silver skeleton is stolen. They go through Limbo and find that the bones were placed in containers and the eye teeth were stolen from several bodies, and used to make gormagon's teeth. Bones realizes that Zack lied about the teeth being dentures and realize that Zack is Gormagon's apprentice. Bones and Booth confront Zack, who admits and helps them catch and kill Gormagon. Caroline agrees to place Zack in a psych ward and the others gather to talk about Zack and goes through the special things he kept from them. In the end, we all lose a good character and a spot opens up on the show for fresh blood.

I liked the whole faking death thing but I would have liked to have seen the immediate aftermath of the shooting which is just skipped over (good old writers strike, had to finish off Gormogon). However, we do have a return to Gormogon which soothes any irritation.



Gotta admit I am utterly impressed by Brennan's self control when Booth stood up in that bathtub. However, her self control only goes so far since she was blatantly looking after he sat down again!



Finally someone confronts Sweets for being the weasel he is and I agree with Booth, Brennan should have hit him.



What a horrific explosion! Poor Zach. Hodgins must feel incredibly guilty! It's an inside person, deliberately staging the explosion so the silver skeleton could be stolen. Understandably the FBI takes over the lab since the employees are now suspects.



Of course Sweets accuses Hodgins, he's a perfect patsy for this given his well-known paranoid beliefs. Hodgins is too perfect for this – him playing with the nurse's call button when Zach started talking about the explosion; the water coming from his neighbourhood.



It's interesting to see 'Limbo' again, first time since season 1. As if an insider wasn't already known, blatant tampering with the stored bones proves it. What better place to hide bones than among thousands of other bones?



The fact that Zach lied about the dentures proves he's Gormogon's apprentice. Who stole the skeleton, Zach was in the explosion, did the Master come through the unlocked bay? Zach actually killed someone? How can they stand around laughing about this? Even if you ignore the murder, the level of betrayal is incredible! Not to mention how many cases could go to appeal just because Zach – about to be found legally incompetent – worked on the cases?



The only thing in Zach's defense is that even though he knew how bad the explosion would be, he didn't do anything about it because he didn't want to hurt Hodgins.



I will admit I thought it was Sweets all along, not one of the main characters. I've always loved Zach and I'm stunned that they would write him out of the show… Though it was done spectacularly. I did expect a more dramatic end to the Gormogon story though. Perhaps the writers strike is the reason for this. It does leave with this horrible sad feeling though, it's almost tragic.

this episode was absolutly amazing! really... words can not describe how incredible the episode was. right from the very beginning i was in tears. seriously... what if Booth had died? how would brennan cope? when angela said to brennan "its time", ohh... the tears were rolling down my cheeks. the whole time i was watching this i was sobbing.. even though booth really was not dead.. when Zac was found out to be the killer my heart stopped. "the pain in the heart" was such a fitting title to the show. thats exactly how i felt. i had never felt so sad before.. just thinking of this episode makes my eyes swell. undoubtebly, this was the best episode of any television show EVER!

this was pulled right out of the hat. I dare ask why while at the same time awed by the creators choice of a story line. As witnessed before, Millegan had to deny that he was leaving the show, and that aside he was a solid performer and a regular cast member I was used to having and seeing around. Him being the gormogon killer's produgee, apprenctice or whatever it is shocked me right outta my chair. It was top of the shelf material people.... real good...It is definately sad to see Dr. Addy leave but the manner in which ya'll made it happen was a true surprise and as much as his departure saddens me, thwe creativity lifts up my spirits. Nice .... reall nice

Am I just missing something? How did Zach steal the skeleton from the vault? The explosion was more damaging than he anticipated and he had to be immediately treated for burns. ...and are we supposed to believe that Cam had feelings for Zach based on Sweets analysis of her reaction ("lock him up forever")



AND - the Booth staged death was handled very poorly! It was a great idea, but, give me a break, why was it so rushed and contrived? Why not develop the story of the guy that Booth was trying to catch? This entire episode was a huge disappointment.

What a horrible episode. Bones is a fun show - with Brennan and Booth sparing - and the rest of the cast trading wisecracks in their own way. But something is going wrong now...



First we have Booth popping up alive - not dead - and with very little explanation to the audience. Some ridiculous lines about a person out to get him doesn't cut it - and it highlights that the previous scene of Booth "dying" was just a gimmick to get people to watch the next episode. Then we have the continuing nonsense about Sweets - and his "study" of Bones/Booth - this just takes up screen time from other actors and the real storylines. And lastly, the very, very disappointing ending to the long-running Gormorgon storyline. The audience is expected to believe that intelligent Zac is the apprentice - and who is the killer ? Somebody that we have never seen before - and hardly even saw in this episode. This show is becoming juvenile and the storylines are not based in reality anymore...

After Booth getting shot last week, I suspected there would be a twist, and after seeing Booth show up at his own funeral, I was very relieved, I can't imagine the show without Booth. But when the Jaw shows up, it's a roller-coaster, the explosion, the silver skeleton goes missing, Zack getting injured,every body's a suspect, it's a lot of info, in a short time.

The conclusion of the episode is GENIUS!!!! I can't believe some people are down on this, when Zack turns out to be an accomplis, and apprentice of the Gormogon (which could happen, because Zack wasn't a strong personality, and has a nearly completely cerebral way of reasoning, so he can be talked into anything, as long as it sounds logical), and the Gormogon turns out to be a nobody(very realistic, and a bold move in my opinion, because I can't remember a show using an ending to a story-line this sober that works this well), who goes down at his arrest, ending the terror, and then with the audience still reeling.

They end up at the lab, questioning themselves if they could've helped Zack, and trying to(like us) make sense of what just happened, they end up looking through a box filled with Zack's favourite things, things he got from the others, and they remember the good times, Brennan walks off, because she realizes she never gave him anything, Booth follows her, and reads probably one of the most important things he had, to her, the acceptance letter she gave Zack to be her Official Grad Student.

I mean, this episode perfectly captured the insecurity, and chaos the resurfacing of Gormogon had, and that one of their own was an accomplis, this truly was one of the best episodes I seen in years.

OMG...!This episode is so disappointing,I'm speechless...I put a 6 because I like the show in general.This episode certainly doesn't deserve a 6...If I sat down for an hour probably I would have written a better conclusion to the Gormogon storyline.That was the notorious serial killer?a total stranger,someone we have never seen before in previous episodes??And Zack, his accomplice out of nowhere???This episode is so idiotic that I want to forget it as soon as possible.One of the worst season finales I have ever seen...I'm willing to forgive this atrocity in the new season but please, no such mistakes in the future...The show is great, don't destroy it with stupid plot holes and hurried writing.Please...

The story said that the skeleton has been stolen after the explosion, but Zack was sent to hospital wounded and always watched by one of his friends. How could he stole the skeleton? And if he didnt, who did? I think the writer(s) goofed in this matter. The skeleton could only be stolen by one of insiders and it means that there is one more traitor inside the institute. All plot of this story looks that it is written just to remove the character Zack out of serie. They did it once when decided to sent him to Irak, and by some reason decided to put him back and now they decided to remove him again of the serie.

I thought this whole episode was an insult to the viewers intelligence. It felt like they didn't know if they were getting a new season and decided to fast-forward the Gormogon storyline. It made no sense whatsoever that Zack would have been involved with Gormogon. I didn't feel Booth's "death" was well scripted either. It was a good idea and it would have been interesting to see how Bones and the squints would have handled it if the storyline could have continued at least a few more minutes. It would also have been more believable if we'd known the the story behind the guy Booth was going to catch while pretending to be dead.I was truly disappointed because Bones is normally a steady 8, but as I said, this was well below par.

How can an episode be so good and so awful at the same time? I don't know, but those damn Bones-writers did it. I mean, the world just came tumbling down on me.*imagine this in very slow motion, with my mouth wide open and an unbelieving, baffled face* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

What did he do wrong? Why Zach? Why the cute little idealistic logical nerd? Why? He just had the haircut! He was just.. serious and real and the interaction between him and Hodgins is always so great.. I mean.. What did he do wrong?



FYI, I don't like the psychologist, he's all nice and stuff but... he's too.. analyzing, you know? The bathroom-scene was H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S. And hey, I know Tempe is upset because Booth didn't tell her that he wasn't dead, but he did take a bullet for her, I mean...? Isn't that a tat more important? Anyhow, this episode was absolutely amazing and sad and wonderful (angela and hodgins are cute!)and ... goodbye Zack (sniff sniff)

What I've loved about this show (among so many things) is its quirky ensemble cast. With the unforeseen (and very close to "jumping the shark" plot shift) removal of Zach as a killing minion, one beloved and important cog from that ensemble has been removed. My fingers are crossed that midway through this next season, his character will be "cured" of his near-cannabalistic ways and he'll be returned from the psycho ward or wherever else he was carted off to. Please let me wallow in "season finale" hope that his removal was a plot device (much like Colby Granger's on "Numb3rs" last season) that will be reversed when the new season begins.

This is one of those I did not see that coming moments except this one hit me upside the head like a ton of bricks. Of all the people in the world, in the show, in the Jeffersonian Zack Addy was the last one I'd expect and the ending of this episode completely broke my heart. If the squints were really Zack's family, Hodgins would be the cool older brother, Angela the sister, Booth his father, Bones his mom and Cam his Aunt, with all that love it's hard for me to understand why Zack did what he did but it's been done and Zack we'll miss you.

I have to say I love this episode. I'm a big fan of Zack and I'm not very happy that he is living the show but the twist at the end is just simply unbelievable.

When it becomes obvious that someone from the Jeffersonian is either gormogon or the apprentice, my bet was on sweets because he would fit the profile and he joined the show just after the gormogon storyline started. How better can you know your enemies than by being their shrink? This is probably on the best episodes of this show, even though there are a few loopholes such as Zack parents being still alive. And I wish they had explain what happened to Zack in Iraq that will make him think that Gormogon arguments were logical. I have to say that I had a hard time following the discussion about the logic in eating people.

loved this episode yet to watch it again so i can fully understand Zach's reasoning. i still can't believe it though Zach is a great character and i will miss him. ill miss the 'king of the lab' i wonder who will replace him do you think it might be the same guy who almost got his position when he went to Iraq. I thought it was going to be sweets that was gormogons apprentice, new it was not Hodge, does anyone else reed the books written by Kathy Reich the TV series is as great as her books currently awaiting for devil bones (book number 9)

Way out of character for the cast, and to many thingns don't make sense, such as why none of Zachs family would come to see him, or how he was convertered in less then three months. Having a stranger be gormagon was a bad idea, on top of that, we didn't see him until the last five minutes, and we only saw him for thirty seconds, before they shot him! It just reflected this entire story line, meeting gormagon was rushed, and the story line was rushed. Zach should have never been his servent, it didn't make sense, and it was a giant smack in the face to all long time reviewers. It was their way of saying, we don't care about this story any more, you want an ending, here's one! Now shut the **** up!

... but i loved every minute of it. if only there was more air time for build up for the unexpected turn of the season finale. i was not at all expecting that. i almost cried with satisfaction of how things turned out. can't wait for the two hour season premiere. should be fun. we hear of Brennan going to different countries for her work but this will be the first for the show. i can't remember if she went away for any of her books (not including canada). i'm glad it has extended for two episodes. nothing could be better.

Después de un gran episodio, otra vez, tenemos uno que, esta vez, sí es lamentable desde mi punto de vista. Primero diré que el anterior episodio, The Wannabe in the Weeds, es uno de los mejores de la serie desde mi humilde punto de vista y termina con, otra vez sí, un cliffhanger interesante.

Pues bien, todo lo que hacía bien el episodio anterior o cualquiera de la serie, aquí se hace mal y rápido. Quiero creer que este lamentable episodio tiene su origen en las prisas generadas por la huelga de guionistas o algo así porque resuelve muchas tramas en poco tiempo y, además, lo hace mal (no sé si por la velocidad sólo, pero algunas no, algunas es que son tontas). Primero resolvemos el final del anterior de una forma que sólo podemos tomarnos a risa, sino, nos dará algo. Además, resuelve una trama que (sí, otra vez: ¿muchas similitudes?) ha estado presente en toda la temporada, la de Gormogon, y lo hace rápido y, en consecuencia, mal. No sé si hubiera sido mucho pedir un episodio más para desarrollar todo lo que pasa en éste pero, la sorpresa que nos tenían preparada, que lo es, deja de importarnos cuando todo se resuelve de plumazos y sin mucho sentido.

Una pena, una pena enorme y, aún así, el episodio sigue teniendo sus momentos divertidos, como siempre. No se pierdan la serie... así que tendrán que ver este episodio. Puede que no piensen como yo pero, como mínimo, tendrán que reconocer que todo es muy precipitado y, en ocasiones, algo estúpido.

I cant say s3 was my favourite but i quite enjoyed this finale.



High points:



Booth fakes his own death, brennan kicks Ass :) i loved the funeral scenes and the moments before when brennan is totally ignoring the fact that he has 'died'



Booth in the bath tub - need i say more ?



The explosion was quite shocking and i actually got scared which hasnt really hasnt happened all season



Low Points:



Zack being the apprentice - was upsetting as he is 1 of my fav characters



Booth & Brennan NOT kissing in the last scene - i was screaming at my tv. it was a perfect moment that would have been made all the better with a full on the lips kiss !



I will look forward to rewatching this when i get the dvds =]

i liked this episode, but i cant believe that zack was the bad guy... i mean of all people. youd think hed be too busy solving the murders to acually go off and be recruited by a crazy person.



in one of the earlier episodes when he was questioned about whether or not he would kill someone if he recieved an irrefutible reasoning, he said hed check with brennan or angela first...but i guess thats out the window.



i kinda wish that theyd spent more time building up to something like this though, i mean it was pretty much out of the blue. although i guess they didnt have time with the writers strike and all...

I actually thought it would be a great season finale, an amazing episode, but it wasn't. It was good, but good is not the word that a season finale episode deserves in a show like Bones, which is always beautiful and awesome. What we come to know about Zack is explained in just few minutes and very quickly, while I think that such a big event in one of the principal character's life should take at least the whole episode. Choose Zack as Gormogon's helper is definitely a brilliant and unexpected idea, even if it is really sad have to say goodbye to his amazing character. We still have to understand why Zack did what he did and how exactly things developped. That's why this season finale left me a little bit disappointed, because writers had to explain better things, don't just put them into scenes.

I've read some spoilers before watching the series finale, so I knew that Zack was helping Gormogon. I'm afraid that this ruined my experience about that whole Goromogon-Zack thing. It would be better if it was a surprise. But in the end I was still hurt that it was Zack and felt all the pain on Jeffersonian team... cuz he's such a nice boy, a squint, but still nice.

And, still, I don't understand his reasons to help Gormogon(it's been really hard for me to catch up all cuz I didn't have translations)... What principals of his did mess up? Dr. Sweets said that it often happens that a strong character (Gormogon) takes over a weak character(Zack)?But I find Zack a strong character!

Btw, that old Gormogon was much more scarier that this one!



Total surprise was the beginning of the episode, Booths fake death. I was shocked, I knew that he could not be dead, but then again - a funeral! Shock!
