dangermousieEeee. Finale.
These started out as thoughts during the eps and evolved into an analysis.
So, Woody has chlamydia. Veronica has chlamydia. Connection? Someone has slept with both of them? I can't believe Duncan was molested, so was V with someone else? When? When she was unconscious during ATttD? Am I on crack? Hmmm.
OMG. Logan and not Duncan is Veronica's dream boyfriend. In her utopia dream, when she could have just as easily had Duncan as BF, it's Logan. Eeeee. And she is sweet and guileless.
Continuity porn! Alicia!
Isn't it bad for Woody to change meds? He'd die.
Jackie is a waitress? I don't care. And Wallace is a selfish jerk ditching his Mom after graduation to chase Jackie. ETA: Yeah, she has a kid, whatever. Too many twists, show. I guess it means she is off the show. Yay.
Logan's face as V graduates? Adorable. Perfect.
Weevil arrested during grad? As his dying grandma watches? Sad, but really cool from dramatic point of view.
Woody's 'explanation' of his molestation? Horrible. Also, does it mean Cassidy had sex with unconscious Veronica? (chlamydia connection) But then why does he have trouble performing with Mac?
Logan/Aaron scene? With Logan once again dependent on Daddy Dearest? Ouch. Aaron-Veronica scene? Also good. I love me some creepy slime-ball.
Oh. Come the FUCK on. Cassidy set up his father, crashed the bus, killed Curly, blew up Keith, framed Woody and raped Veronica. And he seems to get a kick out of it all. Yeah. What next, they forgot to give him horns? Totally unrealistic. With Aaron, all hints were in place, with this? That's just a cheap shock. Troubled kid seeking any way out I could buy. Kid with a chip on his shoulder? That too. Clever sociopath? No fucking way. Ugh. Cheap. And I really wish they didn't revisit ATttD which was my favorite episode and was perfect as was.
But. BUT. BUT. I don't FUCKING care. Because Logan. And Veronica. Logan running on the roof. And saving Veronica. And getting shot at. And Veronica and Logan taking Cassidy down together. And Veronica, hands trembling, all set to shoot Cassidy and Logan, Logan being the one to talk her down. Though the look on his face when Veronica, with tears in her voice, says to Cassidy "You raped me!" He pauses completely dead in his trying to talk her out of it. And then he does. And he holds her.
Cassidy's suicide? Actually, rather sad. And the look on V and Logan's faces? And poor Mac. It's clear that whatever else, he really liked her.
And then the shot in the Mars apartment, with Veronica sleeping in Logan's lap, and him sitting absolutely still. It's such a mirror reversal of the way the season began, of bloody and beaten Logan in V's lap. And then he cooks her beakfast. He is actually quite amazing at taking care of her. I think, in some ways, that's what he needs, someone to take care of. And then Keith, walking in after all. And the hugging, and the joking about finding Logan on the couch.
And then we find out that Logan is driving her to the airport for her trip, and they are going to "talk" and there is giddy kissing and I am screaming at my TV.
Duncan ordering the hit on Aaron? I screamed. All of a sudden, for the first time since Season 1, I am interested in his character: shades of grey galore. Beautiful. And I love that Veronica realizes that Logan's flippant reaction to Aaron's death is just a cover. I love them being unflappable in the face of Kendall's jeers. "I thought you didn't come out in daylight." Heeeee. V and L should be careful of their relationship though, every time something really big happens to jump start it and it must be sooooo exhausting :) Or Epic.
Hmmm, what did Kendall offer Keith? And is it to clear her of Aaron's murder? I'd imagine a lot of that money she just inherited. I don't think Keith really stood V up: but that cellphone of hers had no signal in the airport so he couldn't call her and tell her he wouldn't be coming.
And in conclusion. Logan! Veronica. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!
Hey, even if the show is not renewed, I could be at peace with where we are left at.
