VERONICA MARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, obviously this post is ALL spoilers, so if you haven’t seen it and you don’t want to know—run. Run away right now.

First, they deserve a freaking Emmy for the ‘what if Lily hadn’t died’ dream—brilliant! Not since Buffy have alternate realities been done so well. Veronica wouldn’t have known Wallace. Her dad would still be sheriff and her mom would still be around. She would have been an I love high school girl. And—most importantly—she still would have ended up with Logan. Great show.

The Beaver thing—yeah. I know, I am proud of myself!

The tracking down Woody the creepy mayor thing—so good. I’d thought he and his private plane were gone for good.

The Jackie having a kid thing—Jaw. On. Floor.

The Mac getting her heartbroken thing—wow. I love her and so hope she’s back full-time next year. She is, after all, the Q to Veronica’s Bond, and this is going to give her a lot of emotional fuel.

The Weevil being arrested in front of his grandmother before he got to walk across the stage thing—maybe the sleaziest thing the Sheriff has done. How long is it going to take Veronica to try to clear him next year, ya think?

The everybody cheering wildly for Veronica thing—so great. I got yet another Buffy flashback, but Veronica’s parting words to the principal “Don’t keep all your passwords taped to the bottom of your stapler”, were enough to remind us all that Buffy and Veronica aren’t exactly carbon copies.

The Beaver writing Veronica’s name on Curly’s hand after he killed him thing—wow. Didn’t see that one coming.

The Duncan having Aaron Echols offed thing—fitting without being overly clichéd. I’m just glad we got two great Aaron scenes with both Logan and Veronica before he met his maker.

The Beaver blowing up the plane thing—well, this was the only part that rang a tiny bit false. Of course Keith wasn’t on the plane, but it did give Logan a chance to say, “You’re not a killer, Veronica.” (LOVE him!) But I don’t believe that Keith would be so out-of-touch that he wouldn’t have heard either about Aaron getting killed or the plane exploding or both and called Veronica right away.

The Beaver raped Veronica two years ago thing—wow. I’d really forgotten all about that and, like Veronica, had thought it was solved. I can’t decide if this one was genius or stretching.

The Kendall now being worth eight million dollars thing—worth a chuckle.

The Beaver yelling “my name is Cassidy” before he jumped off the roof thing—well, that’s what makes this not just a “teen” show. It’s the real deal, people. These folks have talent.

The Logan saving Veronica and then comforting her after she thought her father died thing—well, that’s what it’s all about.

The Kendall showing up with a mystery suitcase thing--I think we have our season three.
