After driving everyone, including you, nuts for months about these, Jamie and I are finally publicly releasing our Zack scripts. Hope they were worth the wait! =)
(You can see the main post about the release on Obsessed with Bones.)
Intro for “The Man on the Roof.”
Jamie proposed this idea out of her “Patty Hearstian” love of Zack. I must be honest that I do not have the same level of passion for his character, but I do have the passion for Bones, for writing, and for a good challenge. Hence, a script was born.
It became apparent rather quickly that Zack would be a case-of-the-week B-story in my script. I wanted to find a way to tell a reasonable continuation of his story but I wanted it, more than anything, to feel exactly like a real episode of the show. I needed to have the Booth/Brennan, the humor, and the feel of a weekly trip into the show.
It will be obvious to anyone who reads my script what I love most about this show. To some, you will even be able to tell exactly who my favorite character is. I really enjoyed writing it. I loved delving further into Zack, a character I’d previously enjoyed but not loved, on the same level as others. I hope I did him justice, and I hope you enjoy the whole package.
(link removed as I’ve decided to work it into a full novel completely independent of Bones)
