Re: Bones. The execution was all wrong - given the strike they should have let it play out into next season. But, since it was obvious it would be a main cast member who would turn out to be the killer then Zach was the only one that would make any sense. I’m biased since he was by far my least favorite character, but his character traits (especially since coming back from Iraq) made him actually a pretty obvious candidate. If it had been anyone else it would have felt forced. In his case it only didn’t work because they had no time to develop it properly. Given that time it could have been awesome!

nick,

Upon further review I’m going to do something I so rarely do — concede. Excellent point!

Just to clarify TVaddict,

All the shows had to deal with a shortened season.Look at LOST.
They have a very strict story structure but they still found a way
(because of good writing)to give us all a great season finale that
fit with the characters actions .To say if they had more episodes
is a cop out.The actors (like Boreanaz)were not to fond of the way
the season ended either.If they did not have the time to do it right then
they should have waited till next season…

Just to clarify nick,

I think had BONES had more episodes leading up to the finale, they could have built up the reveal so that it was a little more realistic. Planted clues along the way.

But I completely sympathize why fans might be angered. I certainly didn’t expect Zac to be a killer.

Cannot wait for Dollhouse and Fringe. Will miss Back To You, especially Kelsey Grammer.

Tvaddict, to say it was rushed because of the stike is WEAK!

In BONES defense, I really do believe the big season ender twist was rushed due to the writer’s strike.

Mick — way to point out two consistently funny shows that I completely overlooked simply because they’re always great.

Hay — you’re so right. Great call on the fourth “j”

paketep…i agree with you 100 percent about Bones!!!!It made me so mad.Its just stupid and did not fit at all.It makes me not want to watch the show anymore.I love the cast and Zack is a favorite.It just does not work for me at all.Did Eric Millegan(zack) want to leave the show so they came up with this lame idea?WEAK….
