Very cool.<br /><br />Vinnie: "I risk my life to bring a fugitive to justice, and you're giving me the world's tiniest violin."<br />The joke was that Keith was trying to do the hand signal for 'moolah' right? I don't know if I got too clever with my interpretation there<br /><br />I like the resolution here way more than season 1's, though I understand and agree with the complaints that the writers didn't do a good job of making us care about the bus victims, and took too long to even try to flesh any of them out. Though I disagree that the rooftop confrontation with Cassidy was less scary than the one with Aaron last season. I mean yes it is viscerally more terrifying to close your car door to find the grown man killer right behind you, but there was such a slasher element to it with Veronica the only one being in immediate danger (well, until Keith arrived on the scene - that is to say that Keith's arrival made me think he was in real danger, not that Veronica wasn't lol) that I found Mac's absence and lack of confirmation on her fate until Beav-- Cassidy killed himself scarier in the end. And there's just something more terrible about it being fellow castmember-on-castmember violence. The 'retributive' tasering, while not being as immediately lethal as Aaron was still disturbing to watch. And Veronica's little "Daddy" when she was trying to reach Keith on the phone :( She's so cute<br /><br />The MVP of the episode is... DUNCAN!!! I only wish he was wearing cool silver shades when he received The Call.

As I think about it, I believe it is that I was much more invested last season in the people involved than I was this year.<br /><br />To begin at the beginning, we <i>knew</i> the victim last season; this season they were a group of students of whom we only had fleeting glimpses. The suspects last season were people we knew and we cared about. This year, there were so many that it was hard to believe that any were the guilty party. And, as it turned out, the guilty party was pretty out there.<br /><br />To be fair, the clues were there. Right from the first episode, Woody talks about coaching the little league team; Cassidy is uninterested is sex; his business shows us that he has quite the brain. Yet, somehow this resolution did not affect me nearly as much as the previous one. Last season, I was terrified when Veronica confronted Aaron; this season, not so much. Was it because she was up against a kid and not an adult? I think that’s part of it.<br /><br />While I love the idea of Logan and Veronica together, this time it felt unearned. She was so upset with him just a few episodes ago for making that booty call to Kendall. I understand why Veronica would trust him with her life; I don’t understand why she would trust him with her heart -- yet.<br /><br />Having said all that, it was still a wonderful season of television and I liked a lot more of it than I didn’t. Once again, thanks for the reviews, Billie. Fantastic, as always.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-14628091930374717472010-11-05T06:35:46.486-04:002010-11-05T06:35:46.486-04:00I still think Lamb should have let Weevil graduate...I still think Lamb should have let Weevil graduate.<br />This episode is truly thrilling and having Cassidy be the villain is totally believable. Major kudos to Kirsten Bell who did a phenomenal job. <br /><br />I love season two, I do but the fact that it has too many bus crash suspects and too many theories hurt the season a bit. But I still love it! This and season one are awesome.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
