I've decided I like your plan to view through strike-tinted glasses. If I do that, then I think this was actually pretty good. Considering.

And while I didn't want it to be Zach, I agree that he has seemed 'off' lately. But I don't get the logic, nor the way it was set up. I mean, we're really supposed to believe that after the investigation started - with the original apprentice dying in that jail cell - that *then* Gormogon contacted Zach?

But someone had to be Gormy and the apprentice so I can live with it being Zach.

And TJ was phenomenal. He was so creepy with that pain med button in the hospital that I was freaking out.

So don't worry about your taste in eps. This was not my favorite but it definitely wasn't the worst.
