I'm still kind of annoyed at Bones not having more fallout from the buried-in-the-car episode.
Yeah, I didn't like the resolution on that.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Having bumped into a few episodes of Bones in rerun I was wondering--one of the team turned out to be an apprentice of one of their nemeses, right? It was the soft-spoken nerd (yeah, that helps) who worked with Hodges a lot? Which bad guy was he emulating?

Zach was the apprentice of Gormogon, a guy who showed up at the beginning of that season who was eating people who matched various arcane stereotypes (not a good word) and who was making status/sculptures out of significant bones of his victims.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Zack Adderly - he apprenticed himself to Gormagon (serial killer and cannibal).
ah ... the classic Buffista x-post

Okay, cool. I think I did just see a Gormagon ep.

An episode this season calls into question just how much Zach was responsible for, but I've heard they did that because so manyh people were upset by what they did to poor, lovable Zach.

Was he the apprentice from before they encountered him? In the story, and in the writer's heads?

“Not dead yet!”
I was kind of annoyed with Criminal Minds, because I thought it was so obvious where they were going with it.
I kind of felt that it was supposed to be obvious to the audience-- they certainly gave us enough clues, but not so many as for it to be obvious to the team. And of course, I really liked the focus on Reid.

I think, ita, the idea was supposed to be that Zack became apprenticed to Gormagon after his return from Iraq-- as if he was lost and looking for some sort of guidance. At least, that's how I remember it.
