fenchurchDid that seem... rushed to anyone else? I mean, really rushed? As in so rushed that some of the scene editing seemed horribly choppy and almost like they were going through a checklist of items they needed to touch on, one after another as quickly as possible, because they'd forgotten to bring them up earlier? It threw off the pacing too, and toward the end it started to feel like all the scenes were stumbling over one another.
Other than that...
Is Lamb dead?!?!!? No!!!!! Or was he not on the plane instead of Keith?
Kyle Gallner pulled off sick and malevolent really well. Not sure how I feel about the retcon of the rape... because it's not *exactly* a retcon, but it just seems like a bit much to pile onto his character.
I was a bit worried about Duncan possibly sucking away precious airtime from the rest of the characters, but that was really the perfect amount of screentime for him.
I'm still unclear how Veronica made the leap from "Woody Goodman molested several boys on the little league team" to "and one of them MUST be responsible for the bus crash." Did I miss something somewhere?
I was in the camp of people who thought it was Gia who blew up the bus, but for some reason Beaver was not a huge surprise.
Poor Weevil. But doesn't FC have the most beautiful eyelashes?
Dick is such a cad, but it's hard not to love him anyway...
So were Logan and Veronica already on their way to getting back together before the finale and I missed it? I thought he was wonderful, as he always is when push comes to shove, but the whole kissy-face in the hallway seemed to come out of nowhere, considering how she's been treating him all year. At least Keith seems to approve of him now.
I'm really glad we got to see Logan and Veronica back together, but wow... rushed. Really rushed (okay, I need to dig out my thesaurus and quit using that word). And it's looking like, once again, the writers going to cheat us out of seeing them start up a relationship, which really, really sucks.
All in all, I actually did enjoy it... although I think I would have liked it more if some of the plot points had actually been mentioned earlier in the season and built up a bit more. It played a little too much like the writers suddenly realized "Oh no! We have to tie everything up! Quick, who can we have be the killer?!? I know, let's have him torture puppies, destroy the economy of small countries and also be the first guy who raped Veronica!" It left me feeling a little bit like the rest of the season wasn't connected to the finale at all.

I hadn't thought of that. You just made my night! :)
I wasn't at all surprised about Logan and Veronica, especially after she bolted at the party after his admission, then finding he'd slept with Kendall (my main suspect). He did it because she hurt him, V did it because she was afraid of her feelings.
