they were just cycling through all poss baddies (w/ the weevil and w/ the gay radio kid and the pwt sister/family etcs)
despite the varying pace, ep to ep, it seems to be managing to juggle quite a few threads OK
the kendall casablancas revelation is a bit of a weird one. makes you wonder why she was hanging around w/ logan and desperate w/ duncan and stuff, when she has the fitzpatricks behind her, etc
I'm still enjoying it
wonder what happens when they graduate

They waited too long to wrap up too many loose ends, some things read like major deus ex machinae. Unless the season finale is like four hours long or something and then it's all good.
Did I just overestimate how close Wallace and Veronica are - what's with the "I'll miss you" speech in the hall?

this season did fuck up the timing of the main arc, but this episode was decently suspenseful, so I'm hoping the finale will be, too.
― horsehoe (horseshoe), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 02:43 (eighteen years ago) link
And yeah, just being more demonstrative, and then they're presumably going to see each other at graduation/parties and during the summer.
― milo z (mlp), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 02:52 (eighteen years ago) link
aw, graduation parties. i just had a burst of nostalgia. it's true, it was a little dramatic, which might have been hedging of bets in case the show doesn't get renewed.

I sort of think that the end of the episode was Veronica's dream, from the moment Keith shows up alive until the end. it was just so bizarre.

Meg's parents hired the guy to find Woody when it became apparent that he was involved in her death. Pretty straightforward.
Just a thoroughly satisfying conclusion to a lot of plot arcs, no matter how stupid the Echolls trial happened to be.

Too many threads wrapped up too quickly (as though this finale was for the series?!?! re: VM no longer being lock for making the CW schedule next year), which diluted the OMGness of thee BIG REVEAL. But I refuse -- nay, STRONG REFUSE to believe that Keith might have bought it and that the ending "THE MARS ARE GOING TO DELAWARE NYC!!" was a dream, even if the cinematography was washed out like her actual dream sequences in the episode. But (jone) dayam, V's heartbreak at the airport equals ~*tear*~

I struggle to care what was in Kendall's briefcase, but I just can't. Still, I loved the finale.

What would prevent them from being friends? Little Dick is not his brother's keeper.

I'm almost disappointed they didn't kill him, really. It seems like that would be a radical move for a series like this. Parents die, but never ones so integral to the series and so connected to the main character - it would be like having the Cohens suddenly die on the OC.
xp - I didn't think about the public linking teh Guttenberg to the bus (only the kiddie-touching), but there's still something unexplained about that situation. Why did they bail out the crazy guy who attacked Woody's daughter?
― milo z (mlp), Wednesday, 10 May 2006 19:05 (eighteen years ago) link
It didn't work out too well for Eight Simple Rules....
Keith and Wallace are the spiritual core of the show, imo. Killing either of them off (or getting rid of them) would be a huge mistake on RT's part.

A few thoughts: 1) Little Dick is now going to be totally on his own, since Kendall's got money, Beav is dead, and Big Dick's MIA. Can Little Dick survive financially or otherwise in that situation? 2) Will Little Dick blame Logan and/or Veronica for Beav's death? 3) Will Logan finally wake up and grow the fuck up? (NOTE: Definitely not counting on this one!)

I thought the finale was terrible, overwrought and ham-fisted where the show is usually cool with moments of genuine weirdness and terror, and far too implausible. It felt like they conveniently rewrote several characters and wrapped up too many loose ends.
"My name is CASSIDY" ugh.

I guess I've arrived at a point where I've stopped expecting the show to make any sense or have any real consistency of character.

This was the mystery though: WHY was it apparent to Meg's parents Woody was involved in the bus crash? He was never a suspect, except at Mars Investigations, and even then pretty late. And the janitor had been harassing the Goodmans for awhile. So the implication was that the cabal of parents with dead kids that was set up in the first episode knew something we were meant to find out, only... we didn't.

The bit with the briefcase - really lazy way to try to create suspense. But I did like the bit in the dream at the beginning where the writers took the piss out of the parallel universe cliche where a much loved character has something horrible happen to them because a seemingly meaningless event never happened ("Wallace Fennell? You didn't hear...?")

I'm guessing that Lamb either put out an APB for Woody in connection with the bus crash (subtlety never was his strongpoint), or actually called the Megs himself. Reno isn't his jurisdiction, so someone other than he would have to find the guy.
