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.

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

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.

I think I've got most of Bones on TiVo. I'm going to have to go back and watch some of the earlier Gormagon episodes. I thought there was some indication that the apprentice was responsible for more murders than just the lobbyist. And I still can't see Zach doing that. I just can't.

I don't think they got the chance to plant the clues they wanted for the specific acts of the apprentice, but I do buy Zack being vulnerable to getting pulled into something like this. As someone said, he's always been vulnerable to seeking approval from a charismatic older man, and a twisted manipulator would have a field day with him. When he got caught up in the dichotomy of pure logic vs. human reaction in the past, Brennan was the only one who could translate for him.

He was always a little off since he got back from Iraq. Imagine if he'd actually agreed to being Hodgins and Angela's best man--being revealed as a serial killer in training is even more depressing than being killed.

The Jeffersonian cannot be pleased with the Medico-Legal Department: their star scientist was implicated as the killer of a FBI director then kills a woman, then her protege is a sociopath.

I was surprised at the large number of grad students at her command. When does she have time to teach?
