Question: So Zach was improbably back on
Bones last week. I can almost forgive the ridiculous leaps of logic it will require to have Zach restored entirely to his old position by the end of this season, just to undo the mistake of "psycho killer"-ing him off in the first place during last year's season finale. Contrary to that goof, I join the half of your audience that thinks killing Amber on
House last season was worth it just for the power finale. Still, I see an intriguing possibility that I hope David Shore is pursuing: Amber as a new powerful House inner-voice foil. House already had a near-death experience with Amber front and center, which House no doubt 99 percent believed was a hallucination. I'd love it if she now sometimes starts showing up in his dreams or super-stressful times, giving him not-exactly-Wilsonesque perspectives and advice. (By the way, loved the new Private Investigator character.) And talk about the unfortunate season-finale-resolution disappointment — we knew it was inevitable, but why couldn't Horatio have had a real death on
CSI: Miami? All I can think is that William Petersen, who was so protective of the franchise and not pleased that
CSI: Miami appeared in the first place, must be rolling over in his grave about the silliness of this show. (Or at least he would if he wasn't still alive.)
Answer: Interesting observations, but I think the ship has sailed on Zach rejoing the squints on anything but a guest-star basis (which is probably stretching things enough). Haven't heard anything about psychic-ghost Amber making any appearances on
House either, but what a fun idea. I'm really enjoying the new PI as well, even more the second week than the first. Nuff said on the Horatio/
Miami front, but let me use this as an opportunity to recommend with enthusiasm next Thursday's
CSI opener, which features some of William Petersen's strongest work to date.
