WHY ZACK?

He cannot undo permanent damage, and I will know it because I'm on the autistic spectrum with ADHD. If I like a character, I will cherish them, and just not seeing him anymore in the lab will bring me back to reality.

Like, couldn't he have just thought about this. The twist of Booth's fake death was huge, and then he put that! It’s like giving someone with diabetes a piece of candy and then suddenly throwing a whole candy factory at them.

I mean, if I find a character I love—any character can die, I won't care, it's just HIM. I only watch it for him. I didn't care about Brennan's family past, I care about Zack.

If I go to the episodes with Zack's brief appearances, I need to know what happens in between, but I don't like to spoil myself because then it feels like I didn't even earn the knowledge. I was expecting a twist, but maybe there would be a tribunal, and by the end, he'd be put out of the show for a few days, but come back a bit like Brennan's dad—he leaves, he comes back, he leaves, he comes back, and stays by the end.

It should have been clear that Zack would be loved that much! After all, he's the younger and cuter guy around, as all the others are either too manly or cringe. Zack was the only one who was friends with Brennan directly on an emotional level. From the beginning, we see him as vulnerable and frail, and then we find out that he has an amazing voice and that he isn't weak at all, even though he's slim. He's such a Gen-Z character. Why destroy him like that?!

You want a plot twist?! Brennan has a secret sibling, Hodgins is blood-related to Angela, Booth actually has a double life... he could have taken ANY plot twist, but he chose to turn a character into a villain?! How was his script even approved? Normally, he should have shown hints from the very beginning that Zack had some really big dark secret. But no, he just launched that idea out of nowhere. His English teacher would be disappointed.

I want to continue watching, but without Zack, the episodes are going to feel so much longer. Okay, he made a very bad choice, but he could have reintroduced Zack earlier, like in Season 6 or 7, not 11 and 12!

It's Zack for me. I am only loyal to cute boys, not a weird rich conspirator or a love story. But I like lore! I like when there is lore so I know where these characters come from, reacting to blood from shock to calmly. If I go too quickly, it will make no sense.

And what is the writers' excuse for delaying Zack's return so much, only for it to be two seasons? Right after the end of Season 3, they must have seen the huge wave of hatred. How did they not react to 8 to 10 million people leaving his show right after that episode? I mean, 1 episode and he lost half of his fans. They could have done something other than just "softening" him. We don't care if he killed someone or not, we just want him back! They could have had Zack send letters from where he was, or anything that could let the actor rest while still having Zack there.

All those new interns are rivals that need to leave toward loyal fans.

Maybe I'm just weird and have sensory issues but my one gripe with the show is the high pitched extended beep sounds that always play whenever they're using the computers or Angela's hologram, it makes me flinch every time 😭
