last night's 'Bones' -- have I been "punked"? : comments [Confessions of a Liberal Puritan]

Yes. And I find it upsetting that the writers seem to be pushing this idea that rational intelligent people are more apt to commit murder. Zach would've seen the consequences of his actions. He's not a narcissist killing that guy would have to be worth getting caught for [from his pov] They needed to SHOW THAT! If they had taken their time given it the weight and back-story needed, maybe it could've been good.

That's another thing. Aside from feeling very very cheated from a content perspective, from a mechanical perspective, this episode was so poorly done that I literally did not know what I was supposed to be taking away from certain scenes. The most glaring example of that being Zach's immediate giving up of "The Master" when Bones points out the flaw in his logic. It's not like I'm a stranger to philosophy and rhetorical examinations of ethics and morality, but the dialogue was so badly done, and the scene was so rushed through that I really almost thought that I was supposed to believe that Zach had somehow been doing the lone-gun superhero thing and infiltrating Gormogon's . . . whatever . . . to bring him down.

Now THAT would've been interesting, and in keeping with Zach's hidden talents and resolve, given that we had NO groundwork laid for him being such an easy mark for a psycho mentor.
