They should have Zack rip out Sweets's throat with his teeth. Booth and Temp share a laugh. Bush pardons Zack, Zack rejoins the team. The end.
I think this bringing back Zack every now and then may blow up in their faces. They don't seem to understand
that it wasn't the actor but the character that once was we want to see and they blew that out of the water with
the stupid Gormagon thing and the changing of who he was as a person.
I sure would like to know what these idiot writers were thinking. Maybe they were all drunk and stoned from having
so much time off from the writers strike. Maybe they deliberately wanted to sabotage good shows and stick it to the
higher ups. What they did to this just doesn't make sense.
Zack was hypnotized by Sweets! FREE ZACK! KILL SWEETS!

Yep, I agree!

Yep. I think they are trying to "pacify" the fans with this. Won't work. They really screwed the show up by ditching Zack. Oh, and KS!
Plus, when Zack says he's King of the Lab, nobody dares to disagree.
And while we're on the subject of the screwed up writers at Bones, why'd they split Hodgins and Angela up? Stupid. It took forever to get them together, it was pretty stupid to do that. If it wasn't for DB, I'd just quit watching.

Joss would have just killed one of them and been done with it.

Probably Angela and it would be a very mysterious death, one that wouldn't be solved for a couple of seasons. We would get to see Jack regress to the depths of despair and then slowly get his head on straight (ala Wesley in Angel) and eventually figure who killed her.

And then get killed his ownself, just minutes after becoming happy for the first time in years.
It is what we need, not what we want.
Okay, this is the dumbest, most idiotic thing they could have done. The ONLY way they can bring 'Zack' back is in flashbacks, cuz the 'character' is ruined, as Phyll said.
I was positive that Sweets HAD to be the killer...he FITS the whole 'mind game' personna. Who thought he was a good idea? Who the heck is that actor sleeping with? Who's his mom or dad or whomever that got him the part?
I don't get it.
And yeah, breaking up the nice, quirky couple in love was STUPID...it's not like "Moonlighting" and a union is going to 'ruin the dynamic'...these two create their own fireworks and they aren't the 'leads'. ACK! :veryangry: :wall:
[spoiler]
Well, now we know how they were going to get around it. Interesting. Zack has picked up a little weight hasn't he?

[spoiler]
What are they doing to Zack?
[/spoiler]
[spoiler]They can easily bring him back now that he hasn't killed anyone. I hope they do . I am already tired of the "Zack of the week" labidiots. If they do bring him back they need to drop Sweets of make his roll limited. I really doubt they will drop him all together.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]Okay, tonight, I did not want to kill sweets. They finally used him the way they should, and I was happy to hear even Angela voice that she doesn't like him. I think they are really stretching things with the Zack storyline...most likely cuz of the fan outrage! Even though it was completely stupid and unrealistic that Zack could just walk out of the 'looney bin', it was great to have him back in the lab. But man, now dumb. I think Zack looks good, I like the 'younger' look, I absolutely hated when they had him with the shaved head, and tried to make him 'grow up'. But, they can't have two 'child men', so they need to either get rid of Sweets, or have him grow up some, and have Zack be a 'consultant' on the 'inside'. I mean, if they are going to walk outside the lines of realism, they need to find a happy medium.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]I swear, if the hook Angela and Sweets up, I will quit watching. Just the way she was talking about having misjudged him has me worried! Also, did you catch Booth saying to Zack "Promise you won't KS"!! I thought of you guys![/spoiler]

[spoiler]
They had to do a little two step with that storyline didn't they? I think the writers realized they goofed and the new
additions every week weren't hacking it. I agree with someone on the Bones board that said they are dumbing the
show down. Booth is being made to look silly and Temperance is explaining things that she never did before. I wonder
if they brought new writers on board that just don't get it.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler]They also seem to be turning Bones into a slut! Last week she was sleeping with two different guys and the previews for this week made it sound like (to me anyway) she was gonna start sleeping with this week's Zack replacement. Sheesh!! How can they think we will buy this crap? People don't just totally change like that.[/spoiler]
Oh, and KS!!

I can't imagine everyone just sitting around while the strike was going on...from everything I read during that time, the majority of writers HAD to find other work, just to survive. I've never been one to keep up with who wrote what, or directors or such stuff...but there is definately a difference.

Oh, and KS!!
[spoiler]They've always played her off as someone who had NO "hangups" about sex. I think it was silly that they tried to make us thing, with the teasers that she WAS going to go after the kid. But, really, after watching it, it was funny how something taken out of context can seem so out of whack. I did like that she learned that being 'uninhibited' about having two 'boyfriends', one to sleep with and one to have a meaningful social life with is unnatural. I think they are being silly with her being 'out of step' with life. I can see her not being 'up' on pop culture, but sometimes they have her ignorant on normal, everyday stuff that she'd HAVE to have dealt with before. I got the feeling that they were going to keep the kid from this ep though. The way he walked off, as if he thought he was done, makes me think they will keep him. Unless I missed something that is. But them playing up him needing to keep the job, to pay back the community that put him through school gave him more backstory that seems like they are setting up the character. I also get the feeling we are going to see them using Zack again in the future. Sweets knows that Zack didn't kill the guy, Zack is not 'crazy' anymore...and he's still 'king' even though he's not 'in the lab'. Even though stuff still feels 'off', it was a bit better for me this time around. I didn't want to kill sweets nearly as much as usual.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]
I don't know, I got the feeling the kid was looking back at the place as a farewell. He told Angela that he wasn't comfortable
there because he couldn't read the people well. He was getting everything wrong on the personal side and assuming the
wrong thing. I think that may have been the way of setting him loose. It will be interesting to see how they bring Zack
back for good if that is what they intend. I can't help but think that may be in the works now that he is officially not a murderer.

I just finished rewatching it and I didn't notice either.
Sure is a nice feeling to have something to look forward to each week. I love that 'settling down' feeling of getting into my chair with beverage and snack to watch. I just miss having my 'tater tot' (as I called Jessi when she was little) with me. We've always had similar tastes in tv (Gingi never got into watching anything with us, except "so you think you can dance"). It's much more fun to have someone to share the experience with.

[spoiler]Well, the established the fact that all of them have been visiting him...that he is 'better', not really a murderer, and now they've tried to endear Sweets to us, in that his keeping Zack's secret keeps him out of prison for being a accessory to the crime. We saw that, even behind bars he can 'help', it was really dumb that he just 'walked out' though. He should have called them all there. [/spoiler]
