Bones: The Pain in the Heart (2008)
Were the writers in a hurry to go home?
For the plot turn to involve Zack, good writers might have given some background that might lead viewers to understand how an intelligent and patriotic young scientist like Zack Addy might be seduced by an evil figure like Gormagon. Good writers might have explained what gave an odd figure like Gormagon, who was later described as "a nobody" his irresistible urge to kill, as well as the personal charisma it would have taken to seduce a young and intelligent man working in a highly respected government laboratory, a young man who served his nation in the military when called to do so, into an activity which should be so reprehensible to that young scientist. Good writers might have shown the pursuit and capture of such an evil and charismatic figure. Good writers might have fleshed-out the story enough to explain such oddities of storyline to viewers of such a highly respected show.
Sadly, good writers were not working on "Bones" that week.
These writers totally ignored every principle of good writing and simply glossed over all the necessary background, glossed over all the appropriate character development, all the story leading up to the discovery of Gormagon's identity, glossed over the pursuit and capture of the villain while showing it in the background over a few brief seconds, and totally shafted the character Zack Addy along with all the viewers, as though they had some other place to be.
Shame on the writers, and shame on the executives who allowed such drivel to go on the air.

Damnedest thing I ever saw!
I stumbled into this little gem one late night on a cable educational channel, of all places. I watched as the scenes unfolded, and couldn't believe what I was seeing! To watch these men pull MONSTER catfish out of murky holes with their bare hands, fish so large it took 3 men to get them into the boat, it was an amazing spectacle. I told my father-in-law about this movie, and he was sure I had made it all up. I was happy to find this posting to prove my story, and I intend to purchase the movie for his next Christmas gift! Bottom line: This movie is too weird and fantastic to be missed by anybody who likes the offbeat and outdoor sports.
