I did all kinds of work today, so I'm rewarding myself with a mini-Bones marathon.

After four episodes total, I have to say...Zack is really, seriously creeping me out. NO, REALLY. It's not charming awkwardness, it's probably not even Asperger's, it's sociopathy. And he, uh, knows a lot about cannibalism.

Brennan and Booth get more Mulder and Scullyish with every episode. Look, they're even off to the PNW by Booth's request with practically no warning for Brennan! Although I get the impression he won't be ditching her a la Mulder too much. (BTW, I adore Brennan's boss-dude. Hee!)

So, yes, that's my night.

ETA: And the music on this show...who chooses those godawful rock songs? Ugh. I'm no fan of the most of the instrumentals, either. Bleh.

ah, yes, Bones. I, too, have been recently sucked into this show, despite it's sometimes stilted writing and rediculous 'science.' The Booth/Brennan Banter is what keeps me coming back. They make me think of Mulder and Scully but without the bitterness and paranoia and Booth is way less prone to the ditching, as you say.

I just wish that Hulu would put up season 2. I've seen all of S1 and most of S3 via them, plus actually watching the current season on fox, but no S2, which is making my 'watching things in order' compulsion twitch. Are you spoiled about the current/recent goings on?

As for Zach, He's one strange fellow thats for sure, but he grew on me after a while. A little.

The stiltedness of the writing is deeeeefinitely getting old, yes.

That's a perfect description of them! For some reason they kind of remind me of David and Maddie from I<>Moonlighting, too--I think it's a combination of the Christian man/atheist woman, and that the guy girl has to rely on the guy to explain things about pop culture/real life she's missed out on.

I'm planning to watch S2 on Netflix, then continue on with S3 and S4 on Hulu or Netflix. Perhaps I'll be caught up by June. :D I'm not really spoiled for much--on Wikipedia, I stumbled across what happens with Zack at the end of S3, but beyond that I'm basically in the dark and not actively trying to spoil myself, btu not policing myself too heavily either.

The Christmas episode humanizes him a little, but whoa. Serious creepy vibes from that kid.
