Exactly my problem with this whole thing. Zack has too strong a support system, too much going for him to be easily swayed. He had really been coming into his own as an adult and anthropologist.
The only thing I would have bought is if he started suffering from PTSD after going to Iraq. It was his first, true upfront taste of violence and horror. He got to be Bones, traveling out of the country and doing IDs, for the first time. Maybe this was the storyline they would have developed if not for the strike. They tried to fit way too many things in the last episode.
I'm even more bitter now, learning that the actor didn't want to leave. The finale was not worthy of the talent they have on the show. As I posted in my LJ, for me this episode ranks up there with the Dalls Bobby was never dead it was all a dream thing. It really sucked.
