Well, I'm in the middle of House--damned time zones--so I'll just enjoy how we get where this is going.

re: Bones--I can buy it being Zack due to something he ran into in Iraq, especially with Hodgins going on and on about how wrong it is to be there. He would try to solve the issue with logic, and he does have a weaker personality. I think it's safe to blame the strike for depriving us of some really good scenes of him trying to bring up what's going on.

This is actually a situation where a cliffhanger would have been damned useful.

so far on House: "I get less rest when I'm asleep." And now I get to wonder how he knew there was a rash on her back. My current bet is that she was getting him drunk and trying to get blackmail material on him. At least I hope so, because House/Wilson is my OTP.

Oh, poor House protecting Wilson. House does have a heart!

Yep, House broke me on things I didn't think were breakable. Dammit!

Still upset about Zach too. This is a disturbing night for my "throwaway" TV!

And there was no hanky panky at all. I am relieved. Anybody who complains about House not having any feelings has just lost a leg to stand on.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

First Wilson making that very firm statement that he wanted House to risk his life for Amber (and House forcing him to voice that decision out loud, even though it was him that offered to do it in the first place), and then Wilson almost losing both of them. gah! (Oh, I know we wouldn't lose House, but I at least expected them to drag out that uncertainty until next season).

I still can't believe it was Zach. It all felt too rushed and forced. I knew it wasn't Hodgins, but I hated him being a suspect.

Considering I wasn't sure I was going to like Bones and missed half of the end of season one and the beginning of season two, that show really grew on me. Somehow, I just had a feeling when Zack came back from Iraq, because he wasn't "suitable", there would be more fallout to it.

Honestly, I think I would have quit watching the show if it had been Hodgins. I can't quite articulate why it would have been beyond the pale for me, but it would have been.

I wouldn't have been happy with it being Sweets either, but I could have kept watching, I think.

Indeed. When a bomb like that drops, you should be able to look back and see clues earlier in the season.
