The REAL villain

So after last night's season finale, it has become clear who the real villain of the series is. Its not Palmer, its not Eichorst, heck, its not even the Master.

Its Zach. That kid is the antichrist!

he is probably depicted in the ancient book.

Like a Gaius Baltar type. The true traitor to humanity.

Yeah, but Batlar was unwittingly manipulated into betraying humanity on account of his massive ego, and he at least made attempts to redeem himself over the course of the series...at least that was the case in the 2003 series (can't really speak his counterpart in the original series, which I haven't seen).

Zach's just a petulant little snot.

Diane, never drink coffee that has been anywhere near a fish.

the thread I was going to make

well damn, this *beep* kid.
Poorly written. Not one excuse for him being the dumbass he is. And his acting...oh, the horror. More terrifying than the Master himself. That one character is dragging the whole show down.

That kid worse than Joffrey! Like 1000x worse!

(SPOILERS OBVIOUSLY)
Yeah, but today i realised that he wouldn't be so annoying if the writers didn't give him the spotlight so often. Up to that point he was a token kdnapped kid, so there was no point in showing so much of his, ekhm, "story". But they did it anyway (unless it was a failed attmpt to create a buildup for the finale and justify why he is such a *beep* would be spared the so called acting on behalf of Max Charles.

But why in the hell did Eihorst told him about the detonator if he wasn't to press it? It turned out in the baddies favor, but he could not have predicted that. Might as well have been Zack blowing up Eichorst, while he was transporting the suitcase. Lousy writing in a vital moment like this just so all ends are neatly tied and a theme for a countinuation exists. Personally I'd prefer if they had Master locked away but some other wayy he got out. Or if a new threat arose. Whatever, but not this improbable, infuriating *beep*
