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?

I think you're right that they never gave us any indication he was capable of it, we just have to guess that maybe something happened in Iraq or something. And you're right the explanation was bad, but I don't think they were trying to go for a sub/dom thing. I think the idea was suppose to be that Zack was impressionable, and that Gormogon was able to convince him that he was doing something great and good. Basically that if you knew the way to talk to him Zack was easy to convince.
