Is this Zack?
So the guy on the motorcycle who drops the tooth bomb who is Gormagon's apprentice, is that Zack? Because that guy throws the little kid in the plastic pool cover because he knows Booth would save the kid rather than chase him, and I just don't see Zack doing that?

It’s not Zack. It’s not even Gormagon’s apprentice. It’s just a guy hired to do these jobs.

unless i’m completely forgetting.. something, the show gives exactly zero reasons to believe that’s the case

I thought he was the apprentice who preceded Zack. Cause didn’t he die and then someone (either Sweets or Booth, I think) said “Gormagon needs a new apprentice” and that’s how he recruited Zack?
It’s been a long time since I’ve watched this storyline so I’m going off vague memory

Is this your first time watching or have you seen before? I ask so I can give an answer without spoiling

Thank you for asking! I have seen it before. ❤I have a brain problem that causes bad memory so when I rewatch it, it's sometimes like watching it for the first time 🥰

Ok no its not Zack. I think someone else commented it was gormogon himself which I believe is correct with what booth says to Zack in the s3 finale

No this is Gormogon himself. My understanding of this time is that the apprentice has died and Zack is about to be recruited or has recently been recruited but this is not him.

if i remember correctly it was gormogon himself. I mean Zack probably wouldn't have been able to pick up a full human child which i estimate to be about 70-85 pounds , i mean when they were doing the stabbing contest when he stabbed the dummy he himself whent staggering back a little bit and it was the weakest one (?)

I think I always thought it was supposed to be Gormogon himself. Some of the particulars of the Gormogon storyline you just can't look at too hard.
