regarding Zach Addy (zach_and_cheese)

Due to recent canon developments Zach Addy (Bones) will be on hiatus until I can stop screaming and work something out. That or he'll be retired instead.

Sorry. There will be spoilers for the Season 3 Bones Finale in the comments, probably.

This isn't the first time we've had a "WTF CANON SCREWED US OVER, TIME FOR AU" at Milliways.

*HUGZ* *is still screaming WTF???? AT THE WRITERS AND INCONSISTANCIES*


Sheesh. 'Widow's Son'. Zach's dad is alive- he wouldn't have been approached by this guy anyways.

D: I don't even watch Bones, but my mom does and I heard this shriek of WTF NO coming from her room last night.

Good luck -- and don't retire him if you still want him and want to take him AU.

It makes no sense. I read spoilers and knew he got in trouble, so I thought maybe, maybe he was tricked/blackmailed somehow into helping Gormogon, BUT NOOOOO, HE WAS THE APPRENTICE, AND HE KILLED THE LOBBYIST. JUST -- WHAT?! They didn't even try to make it make any sense.

*hug*

Ahhh, 11th hour plot twists that pay no attention to real characterization and backstory.

'm Sorry.

I was about to ask if this was Gormogon-related.

I just finished S1 and am starting S2, and... oy.

And this is why I announced to my boyfriend, "This is why I stopped watching this crap show at the end of Season 1."

I'm so sorry. :( Zach was such a neat character, and they're fucking up everything for god knows why. Oh well. Can't trust Fox for anything.

It's OK. It's OK. Breathe.

I've been poking for stuff and knew about the Gormogon. I've been spoiled a lot already, so it's not that bad.

I'm not angry or upset. I'm more going 'oh, well'

Thank you. I am just--honestly, I am still very much in a WHAT state of shock. But. Yeah. Maybe it's just a fever dream? *facepalms*

[identity profile] zach-and-cheese.livejournal.com 2008-05-20 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not your fault!

Unless you're a writer of Bones. In which case we need to have some Words. :P.

But...yeah, thanks.

I DID put a spoiler warning, Lexie. Don't freak!

Thanks, Aspen. <3.

Thanks, Steph. I do still want him, but--I just don't know how to handle it? I expect i'll have time when I'm visiting the UK to figure things out.

Best wishes and hot cocoa to your mom! We Bones fans must headache together.

But... but... but... but... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! What?! What?!

I must've missed more episodes than I thought. No, even then... WHAT?!

[identity profile] zach-and-cheese.livejournal.com 2008-05-20 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Right, see. I could see if he was tricked into it (kind of--he's hard and easy to trick at the same time. But it'd have to be someone who understood how he saw the world because how you trick most people =/= how you trick Zach) as long as it didn't involve him killing someone. I'm not sure I could see him blackmailed into it, because generally speaking blackmail never works out in the end of the blackmailed. ALSO HE WOULD BE ANALYZING THE REMAINS. AND HE KNOWS HOW GOOD BRENNAN IS.

WTF, Lexie. D: D: D:. *clings*

[identity profile] zach-and-cheese.livejournal.com 2008-05-20 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Believe me, it doesn't make sense even if you've watched the episodes. Seriously. I--augh! WHAT, Bones writers (and producers, who had to okay it and stuff right?). Just. WHAT.

*passes hot cocoa, quickly*

[identity profile] dramaturgca.livejournal.com 2008-05-20 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
But...he has no social skills. He wouldn't be able to hide something like that! (No offense, but, really...)

The last one I saw was Baby in the Bough. That was only like three eps ago...

No. No nononononononononononono. No.

Well, I hate spoilers, so I still feel bad! I saw the disclaimer on the post, and then the spoilers posted above, so I sort of figured nobody who hadn't seen last night's episode would be reading. If I'd realized, I would have white-texted. Sorry again!

The actor wanted off the show, I think, which was part of why it was done. But man, could they have gotten him off the show in better ways (or just handled this way much better) or what! *facepalm*

Oh, hon. I know. The 'he knows how good Brennan is' part got me, too. Really, the whole thing got me. There was a way that they could have done it that could maybe, maybe have convinced me, and this definitely wasn't it. This is really crappy for you, dude; I am so sorry it went down like that.

[personal profile] mycursedface 2008-05-21 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
I've never watched the show, but I read the reaction posts (the flailing attracted my attention), and oh, I am so, so sorry, hon.

*sends sympathy*

Crap on a crapping cracker. ZACH. MY FLUFFY ZAAAAAAACH.

My condolences, honestly.

[identity profile] zach-and-cheese.livejournal.com 2008-05-21 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
That is ANOTHER POINT. Thank you! He totally is not a good actor. D:

My return condolences! Here, have some hot cocoa.

[identity profile] zach-and-cheese.livejournal.com 2008-05-21 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
I really appreciate it, thanks. (The flailing is a little conspicious, isn't it? :))

[identity profile] zach-and-cheese.livejournal.com 2008-05-21 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
I just. They could have rewritten that last episode. And have it been, like, a killer who was focusing on the good stars who seemed to have a thing going on with the "agent"--like, a jealous singer. And have had Zach go up and become a victim and die.

Or they could have had Zach get a letter from some place in California going BE OUR FORENSIC ANTHROPOLOGIST. And Zach go eeeh. And Brennan have gone DO IT. And Zach have gone IT IS A GREAT HONOR. And Brennan have gone YOU'RE A GREAT GRAD STUDENT FORENSIC ANTHROPOLOGIST. And Zach have gone I WILL GO AND DO IT.

And there would've been trumpets, and stuff, and he would've contacted them three times a day over break by picturephone because he forgot something at the lab, or because he wanted Angela's advice, or because he wanted to brag to Hodgins why he was king of the lab.

Yes.

He's a sweetheart, but not so subtle, our Zach...

I'm not sure about that - I read a TVGuide interview and he just said it wasn't his choice, he was "following the fate of the character", and he might even show up again.

In which case, I still like my 'EvilGeniusZack' better than how it turned out.

The interview's here, in any case.
