Hmm. I think that inconsistency was to have been explained by the domination that Zack supposedly was under by the "master". If the master was someone whom Zack came to see in higher regard than Brennan, he may not give her such an opportunity.
My problem is that I don't see Zack as being that type of weak-minded. Zack has never struck me as easily lead and the master was not presented as being massively charismatic and persuasive, except by backward reasoning (Zack was persuased so the master must have been persuasive), which isn't very convincing.
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.
