Veronica Mars: Not Pictured (finale)
(S02E22) Aren't great finales so bittersweet? I'd been excited to see this episode all day, though at the same time I was sad that the season would be over, and we'd have to A) wait until next Thursday to find out if this show is indeed making it to the CW network, and B) wait for the new season to start.Though I thoroughly enjoyed this season, I have to admit that most of the reveal of this episode was a tad disappointing. Why? Because a bunch of us guessed this would happen long ago. Well, not all of it, but the "big bad" of the season.One thing that surprised me the most about this episode was the amount of unanswered stories left hanging around. What was with Meg's dad bailing out Lucky? What's going to happen to Weevil? Why did Cassidy take Mac's stuff? What's Kendall doing in Keith's office? It'd be too cruel to not have this show back next season to answer some of these questions.
Something that none of us guessed was that Cassidy was responsible for Veronica's chlamydia, having raped her last season. That was in credible, that the writers took a major plot point from last season and placed it at the end of this season. I just did not see that coming at all.
So it seems LoVe are a thing again, which makes a lot of fans happy. I'm a little torn on the whole thing really, as the dynamic between Veronica and Logan has been great when they've been somewhat against each other. We'll just have to wait and find out next season what the summer brought those two, I guess.
So, any guesses as to what we'll be seeing next season? Word is that Mac will be a regular cast member (cool!), with the setting being Hearst College. I hope we finally see Lamb get what's coming to him next year; there's no way his story's finished quite yet.
*sigh* Now what am I going to do on Tuesday nights? Someone needs to make a show like this that gets a couple week breaks, max. Oh, what a happy world that'd be.
Until next season...
Quote of the episode:
"Where's your brother?"
"I think he took Ghost World up to his room. They're probably up there making loooove. Or playing Dungeons and Dragons. Or both. At the same time. They're both, like, 12th level dorks."
UPDATE: OK, I may have to make this the new quote of the episode. Thanks for the catch, Vince!
"CW?"
"It's a done deal."
