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?

Clearly she teaches on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

You ever been stuck on a city bus for hours?

Sure, but never in a tranquil, desaturated, middle-of-the-desert way.

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.

Didn't they catch his most recent apprentice (prior to Zach I mean)?

Ouch! Both Bones and House were so painful last night. On Bones, I really wanted it to be Sweets, but I realized when he started to be suspected too early in the episode that it wasn't going to be. Like everyone else, I wish there was more of a build up to it being Zach. I like Zach and will miss him on the show.

On House, I really thought they were going to save Amber. She's such a great character to have on the show. In fact, I thought that they were going to save Amber and House would replace 13 with her.

I have a feeling that NCIS tonight will be equally as gutting.

I'm so pissed I missed these last night. Feh.

I'm still locked on Wilson turning off the machines, then turning to stare into Amber's eyes . . .

I really need to get more Kleenex here at work.

edit: And this the man who can tell people they're going to die and they'll thank him. He may have trouble with that in the future. It's interesting to realize that Wilson deals with death a lot more often than House does.

I think that's where the strike may have really screwed us up. Zach said he met Gormagon three months ago. Yet, there's no time element within episodes (other than the last before the strike being Christmas) that I can think of (there may have been mention in the last four episodes, but I've forgotten at this point) to let us know if there actually was a three month gap in their timeline vs. three months of strike. So, did Zach meet him while the show was on "hiatus" or is there some indication in a few of the episodes preceding the strike that lead to this outcome.

NCIS:

I don't know if anyone here actually watches this show or not. So I'll just say, OMG they better fix this next season!

speaking of shows no one is watching, is anyone else cringing at the anvilicious pairing of Colby and Liz. I mean, I've never been a huge fan of hers, since she looks like an alien, but I like the character traits. Of course, I could just be jealous because we all know how I love a midwestern farm boy.
