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.

I knew it wasn't Hodgins, but I hated him being a suspect.
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.

I still can't believe it was Zach. It all felt too rushed and forced.
Indeed. When a bomb like that drops, you should be able to look back and see clues earlier in the season.

It's going to be interesting to see who they (or if they) replace him with next season. We've gotten used to this team. Damn, I'm bummed. They're messing with my Monday night line-up. It was bad enough when House canned his crew, now we have to go through the hunt for Zack's replacement, again!

Poor, poor Wilson. And Amber figuring it out on her own.
I think Wilson just won the permanent Woobie award

Bones: They'll probably replace Zack with the guy who found the mistake during Max' trial.
House: So what symptom did House see? Her taking the drugs? And he suspected she'd been so badly hurt that it would poison her?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
What is with the desaturated bus being used for death/near-death imagery?
The only example I can name is ER, but I know I've seen it other times.

You ever been stuck on a city bus for hours? Believe me, you'd be ready for death too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I imagine those were the episodes we lost to the strike.
I bet they bring in the black guy from the other investigation -- Eugene from some kids' science show I used to watch on the weekends. Before I had cable.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
"Bones": I am really pissed off that Zach was the "apprentice." I find that out of character and completely weird. I no like. I was pretty disappointed with this conclusion.
I did enjoy "House" though. What a demented, depressing ride that was.
