Bones Series 3 finale (spoilers)

SCULLY

Just watched the series finale of one of my favourite shows 'Bones' and can't remember ever been so disappointed in a show.

Zach turing out to be a killer

was a terrible idea, poorly concieved and totally unbelievable. That , along with the start

Booth is dead, no he's not

dummed it right down for the viewers. I know a lot of shows were adversly affected by the strike but why not keep the story arc until next series rather than rushing it. Very disappointing and while not quite a jump the shark moment it could hurt the series in the long run.

Aye, it was crap wasn't it? I voted it for my "Jump the Shark" moment in TV awards.

The ending really made no sense and felt incredibly rushed - I'm guessing they felt they needed to wrap up the Gormagon storyline and suddenly found themselves with 8 less episodes to do it in. Even so, for them to have had Zack as the killer?! That made no sense. Zack is incredibly rational and there's very little rationalisation behind Gormagon's actions - alone he would easily be able to weigh the pros and cons of the situation. We, the viewer, were never presented with a clear reasoning as to why he agreed with the arguments or even what they were - it was very unsatisfactory to try and make us believe Zack bought Hodgkin's conspiracy theories all of a sudden: Zack thrives on facts and conspiracy theories, by their nature, are based on supposition and extrapolating ideas from often unrelated events. Rubbish!

Even if we had heard a rational argument suitable for Zack, we should still have had more signs of it - instead it was utterly out of the blue. I'm not sure what they were thinking!

Very disappointing.

It was a completely unbelievable load of old drivel and tosh, utter sh1te. The writers of this episode should have stayed on strike. Of course, they could save some face by coming up with that well-known, tried and tested "it was all a dream" scenario, if the studios are stupid enough to let these "writers" loose on another series.

I agree! A terrible ending to a kicking good season.

I only watch Bones in passing (Ive seen maybe 3-4 eps) But I thought that was a great episode! Granted I probably cant see why Zack being a killer would be OOC since I've rarely watched it but very good I thought! I oughta buy the box sets:cool:

Brennan and Booth have great chemistry on screen so they do and looking forward to the new season on tv3 ... didn't ave the time to watch the season finale but i wonder have they set it up for another series with the way it ended? and will it work?

deRanged

I think they really rushed the story line and it suffered.
I wonder why they didn't just carry it on into the next season, I liked it and they could have taken it to some interesting places.

Definitely a nominee for "Show Most Affected By The Strike" ... a few filler eps showing Zack out of character might have added weight to what happened in the finale.

Our man in Havana

Agree 100% with you. Finale was totally out of context. Very poor tbh.

Yes, I was completely disappointed. One of my favourite shows but as someone pointed out above, seems to have been affected by the strike big time.

Yes it would have been better if it had been Sweets,much more believable

I know this isn't part of the topic but has anyone else noticed the resemblance between Temperance Brennan(emily deschanel) and her sister (Zooey deschanel) pretty similar if you ask me!
