HOLY SHIT [nekare]

Bones 3x15 - The Pain in the Heart: OKAY. WHAT. NO, REALLY, WHAT.

*cries*

Okay, remember how I said last night that I was spoiled already because people kept saying OH I CRIEEEED and OH ZACH all over again? YES. WELL. I THOUGHT HE WAS DYING, FOLKS. And, in a way, I'd have prefered that? I DON'T KNOW.

JUST. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN.

The thing is, the episode was incredibly rushed. It was two episodes mashed together, the OH HAI BOOTH IS NOT REALLY DEAD episode and the OH HAI ZACH IS TOTALLY A SERIAL MURDERER. Thing is, I probabably would've bought any of those on themselves, but together...

Because the first half was all playful and lovable and Brennan hit Booth with a manequin arm and broke into his house while he was in the tub and that (and they) were absolutely adorable.

And on the other side we have a completely tense episode that actually made Hodgins seem creepy as fuck and I kept waiting for it and OH GOD. NOT ZACH. ZAAAACH. ;________; It just could've been written better. Just. What did he see in Irak for him to be as messed up to become the apprentice of a cannibal murderer? SHOW US THAT, WRITERS. That's all I'm asking. Apprently Eric Millegan might come back as a guest star, so I'm hoping (HOPING!) that it will be adressed.

I'd usually ask for fic, but fic in this fandom is usually vile, which sucks. I don't know. I want to write it, I do, but at the same time, I just want to know about it, you know?

(Also. I'm planning to write a post-apocalyptic Bones fic (I know, I know, I'm obsessed, shut up), and yesterday while I though Zach had died? I TOTALLY DECIDED TO TURN HIM INTO A ZOMBIE AND HAVING HIM APPEAR. LOL.)

SO, IN SHORT: OMG. OMG OMG OMG. Sure, it was a fucking shocking season finale, but... I could've made with less shocking? ;_____;

YEAH. I kind of regret making all that effort to catch up for this one - I mean, I've been spending so much time with these characters recently that this was seriously painful. And Zach! No! Why??? D: I mean, I actually couldn't watch the whole thing because it started to be obvious that it was going to be one of the regulars and I couldn't really stomach it so skipped through a little - just, I'd kind of pegged this as one of these happy shows where they don't set you up to really like characters and then break you later on! They did go some way to making Zach not 100% Evil, just manipulated, but still. I am displeased. Especially as it wasn't the actor's choice, and gaaaah Zach was totes awesome and generally always seemed to be a bit sidelined and now this is how they write him out? He'd better be back.

On another note, yay post-apocalyptic Bones fic! That sounds amazing.

I've seen a lot of people that were upset with how this episode turned out, which kind of surprised me, cause, uh, it worked for me? I think I'm definitely in the minority on that one. But, like, I was so terrified it was going to be Sweets and then by the middle of the episode my sister and I were texting back and forth "OH MY GOD NOT HODGINS" (seriously, CREEPY, DUDE), but I NEVER SAW the end coming. Which I loved because it's rare that a show can do that for me, give me something I've never even considered.

When they were going through the whole thing with the mandible and the K-9s I was all "NO! It can't be ZACK! That's crazy!" but by the end (when I was in tears) when I thought about it, it made sense to me. Like Bones says, Zack responds to logic, more so than normal people. So based on his beliefs on secret societies and the human experience, it kind of made sense. And yeah, ok, eating people, gross, but anthropologically speaking, it's been done, so not totally out of left field. It wasn't so much about a cannibal murderer but about people in secret societies being bad people, and their deaths being something that would make the human experience greater, and the human experience is more important than any one individual life (unless it's Hodgins, hee). And I also think that what Caroline said about a strong personality preying on a weaker one played a pretty significant role, too.

But, um, yeah, that's how I saw it. *cough* :-)

But, Booth! Brennan! How adorable are they? And how much do I love that he knows what kinds of pies she DOESN'T like? "She doesn't like her fruit cooked." HEE!

That's the thing - I loved the surprise element, I was all WAIT WAIT WHAT and I love a show gutsy enough to do that, but... IT'S ZACH, OH GOD. And that's so hypocritical of me seeing that I really didn't want it to be Sweets because HELLO OBVIOUSNESS, but. I would've liked it better to be him.

And ZOMG was Hodgins creepy. CREEPY. SO MUCH. With the hovering and painkillers and uuuugh. omg.

Of all of the team he's the one that is the most obvious answer, but. How am I supposed to watch earlier seasons now and NOT think ZOMG LITTLE CANNIBAL IN TRAINING?? ;_____;

I know! ZACK! :( Who will Hodgins fight with to be King of the Lab now? I am completely heartbroken, but in a way that I'm totally ok with, for some reason.

I KNOW, RIGHT? I was wondering if maybe Hodgins thought it could be Zack and that's why he was all creepy about other people living around him (since Zack still lives at his place, right?) and drugging him so he wouldn't say anything to incriminate himself.

OMG, I can't even THINK about old episodes (like the first season, where Booth was all "We don't talk! I ignore you. It's male bonding!") without wanting to cry!

I was really, really unimpressed with the way that shit played out :|

In a way I want to holler RETCON, OH GOD PLEASE and at the same time I'm sort of amazed at what a gutsy move it was. Still. NOT ZACH.

Yeah, I was upset enough to seriously consider breaking up with the show. I probably won't, but it is on probation. All of my shows are on probation right now, which makes me sad. At least Joss is coming back, so MAYBE if I have to break up with any or all of them I'll have something to console myself with, but Joss is routinely Zach Addy=SERIAL MURDERER levels of evil, so... :(

~goes off and whimpers in a corner for awhile~

I can buy Zach being the apprentice better than any of the others, but I really wish we'd been able to get more of the build-up - post-Iraq PTSD or something at least. The writer's strike needed to happen, and I still blame the network assholes and not the writers themselves, but it has a lot to answer for, dammit. :(

I don't think I could ever NOT like the show - even know, I'm fairly impressed at what a ballsy move it was, terribly painful or not. When does Dollhouse start, anyway? I have to admit I'm really excited about it.

*joins you in the corner of sorrow*

Exactly - I could've bought it, if only the writers had tried harder ar it, or made him a bit more, dunno, extreme or weird acting all through the serious, instead of this WAM BAM INSTANT MURDERER THANK YOU M'AM businiess. o_O

Yeah, that's what I concluded too once I'd calmed down a little, but man, just thinking about everything we lost is painful. King of the Lab, and the weirdly good chemistry he had with Cam, and the wacky experiments. The squint family vibe will still be there, but with a giant, gaping hole in it. All in one fell swoop and for what? A shocking ending? It definitely took balls to go there, and I respect that, but I'm not happy that they did, especially after finding out that the actor really didn't want to leave.

Don't worry, I'm probably going to end up writing Zack fic to make sense of the damn thing. I cannot not and also, well, I want to write something short, and this seems pretty self-contained.

Yessss, fic from you might make it all better :D That's the thing - in a way, it does makes sense, only it was so sudden, and there was hardly any mention of his time in Irak. SIGH.

I think it was an amazing episode, even though it was rushed.

He is coming back, they have plans for it, and that makes me happy. I want to say "Oh, my show" but somehow I don't feel as if it's MY show, you know? Still, I love it.

Creepy Hodgins was super hot, man. I so dig that. haha.

But yeah. We might get more answers later on the show, and I'm def. looking forward to that.

I think it had lots and lots of potential and that holy crap, but was it surprising as hell. Mainly, I'm just upset because how am I supposed to watch earlier seasons now and NOT think ZOMG LITTLE CANNIBAL IN TRAINING?? ;_____;

(I do want to see him in all his hannibal lecter mode helping with cases, though.)

Haha, I'm a bit different - I feel like it IS my show, only that it's not MY fandom. Seriously, this fandom is so weird.

Creepy Hodgins was SUPER UBER CREEPY. When he kept pressing the painkiller button - oh man. o_O

I don't think I'd be so upset as I still am if he had actually been killed off. And knowing that the actor didn't want to leave is so disheartening. :(

ZACHZACHZACHZACHZACH. I LOVE MY ZACH ;_______________________; MY HEART WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.

But creepy!Hodgins FTW with the painkiller button and HE HURT SO BAD FOR ZACH.

WATCHING FROM OUTSIDE HIS HOSPITAL ROOM AND HE RISKED EVERYTHING TO SAVE HODGINS AND ZACH'S FAVOURITE STUFF ZOMG. I BAWLED.
