The new guy can't express anything but anger.

I don't care about a troll who doesn't pay for his opinion telling me how to review movies.

Just imagine how a child that age acts out when parents get divorced. Now just imagine that your dad is a drunk and your mom is a vampire with a new vampire family, then your father kills your mother.

No, I actually can't remember him being anything different. But I do think that the actor does a good job, it's the writing that makes him a terrible character. And the actor gives his best to make him as terrible as possible.

I guess the actor himself may be doing a good job because Zach comes across as a soulless sociopath. But Zach himself is a horrible, detestable character even if he's a kid, sad to say.
As for blaming Eph's drinking for Zach's issues, nice try to that poster but he never drank in front or Zach or neglected that heartless kid. Zach is to blame for Zach's lack of humanity.

Basically Zach's character was written to be as stupid and horrible as possible. This is the story of an evil sociopath in the making. And, of course, his stupid father will still be looking to "save" him next year.

Eph's not stupid. he's just a dad unlucky enough to have spawned a horrible seed like Zach. You're right, Eph will probably never give up on Zach until he turns. Evil kid.
Master was right, Zach has a very dark soul. Evil kid. Truly detestable too.

They must really be trying to turn Zack into the Antichrist. If not, then I hate the writers even more for keeping this brat around for so long. I hope they read these boards and give this kid a death we can all applaud, cheer and wipe away our tears of happiness too.
