Bones

Yay! Not too much longer until the new episodes. Thanks for the heads-up!

My brother turned me onto this show in the second season.

I'm totally hooked.

And, I think it's, overall, one of the best looking casts on TV.

Gah! I watched the stupid marathon yesterday and now I'm hooked. I've watched a few eps in the past but didn't really give it a chance because I don't like to see David B. as anyone other than Angel, but this is a pretty good show. I don't normally go for the forensic-type shows (hate hate hate CSI and all the spinoffs), but I really like the cast and the humor. Now I'm going to have to Netflix the whole thing starting with season 1 so I can be completely caught up. Damn you TNT and your marathons!

Well damn, in spite of myself I read this entire thread and spoiled myself to freakin' everything. But it's cool. I still think a dvd set is in order, to see everything in order, nice and tidy.

Also, I believed DB was perfect as Angel but thought he was totally one-note, which prob kept me from watching this. But I agree with all those who say he's definitely grown as an actor. Good for him! Some actors just don't translate to film; but if he can keep carrying tv series, that's NOT a bad gig.

ETA: Wow, they took Zack down a path I did not anticipate... the evening/morning eps don't follow at all so I've missed Hodgins' wedding but witnessed his breakup and now Zack is being snuck out of the psych facility for visits to the crime scenes.

I love Bones too.

About the Zack thing: I think writers are trying to figure out a way to undo their blunder. I'm debating about how to handle this. In an earlier episode some things were revised. Should I put spoiler tags around details since some people haven't yet seen the episode(s) in question?

These eps have been out a while; imo I don't think they need to be spoiled.

Ok, so I'm still watching these out of rotation. I have a few questions I can't find the answers to online:

I know the Gormogon was seen once; was this played by an actor, or did the audience just see shadows?

Do the producers still plan to bring Zach back (he's off totally for the fourth season,right?) Also, I know it's been alluded that he has Asperger's syndrome; was his time in the Gulf War considered a connection to his work with Gormogon? I really liked his character; I hope to see him again.

OTOH, if I never saw Patricia Belcher again, it would be too soon. She's so obnoxious, jeez.

We finally saw him in the last episode of Season 3. It was very brief, though.

Zack was back for one episode so far this season - I have no idea if they're planning for more appearances. (I hope so!)

Not sure about the Asperger's; I don't think they ever mentioned that on the show. As for the Gormogon stuff: it really came out of nowhere. It would have made sense if they had explained it as a result of Zack's time in Irak. They were probably planning to go in that direction, but I think the whole storyline was rushed because of the writers' strike.

Thanks Casino Bride. It was Emily Deschanel who mentioned the character having Asperger's.

A move to boost ratings? They go all the way[/color].
