Bones Season Finale

Some thoughts on

I think I should start by saying the last episode was one of my favorites ever. I knew Booth wasn't going to die and I was looking forward to some nice hurt/comfort type scenes. Guess who was disappointed. So yeah, the plot here, didn't make much sense. I'm just glad the funeral didn't turn out to be a dream Bones was having. And I'm confused by why the show chose to have so many non-Gormagon related episodes after they came back. I remember reading something after the strike where they said they were going to focus on that story line, instead everything's been rushed into the last episode.

I have to make one more comment as someone who actually has done a twenty-one gun salute at military funerals (and also for a tv show once). DB, not so good with a rifle. It's hard I'll admit, but then I'm a 5 foot girl, and DB doesn't have my excuses. On the other hand I decided it was a character thing, that after being shot Seely couldn't handle a rifle with the normal military crispness he should have.

I also have to admit that I wish it had been Sweets not Zack. Sweets kind of bugs me. On the other hand, I can see where Zack makes sense. Again, wish we'd had more time, not just out of the blue "Zack's a killer". And what was the whole deal with Iraq from last season? It's like they've been trying to get rid of him, but couldn't agree on how. I have to say I'm just glad that Hodgins was a fake out, because that really didn't make sense.

I wonder if they are going to bring in the guy from Temperence's father's trial as Zack's replacement for next season?

Oh well, even if I found the whole Gormagon thing silly from the beginning I'll be back next season. After all how can you complain about a show that has DB in a bath with a beer hat?

Yeah I agree that Zack was out of the blue, and yet I also see the possibility in his character. It would have been nice thought if we'd seen something leading towards that.

And it was definitely all smooshed together. Even as I think about it, the previous episode with the stalker, which I loved. I mean why did she stalk the other guy for months, but it only takes her a couple days to decide to shoot someone when she starts stalking Booth?
