The best I can come up with is “Zach as Gormogon’s assistant? Yeah…..riiiiiight. The guy couldn’t hurt a fly and you really expect us to buy this cr*p ?”
I was almost ready to give up on the series altogether after that one. I figured it had really jumped the shark.
But thankfully, order was restored to the universe and I just look on that whole nonsence as as evidence of temporary insanity or a HUGE lapse in judgment to treat the audience as if they’re total nitwits.
Altho I wasn’t all enthused about the whole Seely-Hannah in love nonsense this season, the majority of the show is back in it’s regular groove with gory science sprinkled with humor and heart.
And they finally had the good sense to end the Hannah nonsense. Just wasn’t buying that either. No chemistry between those two at all.
If I were you, I really wouldn’t be wasting any more time trying to make any sense at all out of the whole Zach-Gormogon nonsense. The actor playing him wanted out so he could go to college and the powers that be decided upon that bit of stupidity to facilitate his exit. A momentary hiccup in an otherwise excellent show.
And I don’t think that your confusion is due primarily to seeing episodes out of order so I wouldn’t be too focused on that.
It didn’t make any sense to most of us who watched it in real time either, ha ha.
