Wow. I am speechless. Seriously speechless. Every mystery
was resolved and the season ended with a brilliant finale. Let’s just jump right in.
Let’s get the whole bus crash thing explained. Cassidy
killed the eight students on the bus. He was part of Woody’s little league team alongside Marcos Oliveres and Peter
Ferrer. They mustered up the courage to decide to spill the truth. Cassidy was against the whole idea. He didn’t want
anyone knowing the truth. I can understand. What I can’t understand is how
psycho he got. How could he just willingly pull the plug on the two kids?
When I look back on the season, I feel like an idiot for
not picking it off. It makes total sense. Cassidy planted the rat, getting himself out of the bus. He knew Dick would call
for a limo so he waited until the bus was where it was supposed to be. Using his cell phone, he dialed the number and Boom!
Do we all remember Curly Moran? Well, Moran gave him the explosives. Cassidy knew he was the stunt man in an action movie
so he knew he had explosives. Moran figured it out. Cassidy meanwhile learnt of Cervando’s betrayal of the Fitzpatricks.
He blames the crash on Moran and Weevil takes care of business. This is where the footage from Thumper’s phone was taken.
When Weevil didn’t finish the job, Cassidy did it himself. I’m telling
you, he’s a psycho. He knew Veronica was going to be a key witness in the Echolls trial so he tried even harder
to incriminate Aaron. He later used Veronica to get his father out of the city. He inherits all the money he needs. Life is
great.
His actions are unforgivable, but they are to a certain degree,
understandable. He was molested as a child. Living with that memory day after day is rough. Add on the fact that he lived
with a father who was more interested in his “manlier” son and a rich gold-digging cheerleader. Also, he hasn’t
once been called by his real name. Everyone’s called him Beaver all this time. Like I said, his actions are not forgivable,
but they are understandable. I also understand why the writers saw the need for Cassidy to kill himself. His trial would never
be as interesting as the Echolls story. Smart move. Oh and I forgot to mention:
he raped Veronica.
She had a lot of reasons for hating Cassidy. He killed eight
kids on the bus (notably Meg), he raped her, and he killed her father (or so she thought). I actually thought she was going
to kill Beaver on the rooftop. Kristen Bell definitely delivered. She was exceptional. The scenes of the rooftop were exceptional.
I liked the dreams she was having about what her life “should have been.” Keith was still sheriff. Lianne was
still there. Lilly was still alive. She was dating Logan. The perfect 09er life though had its downside. Veronica never met Wallace Fennel. I think her
life now is better than anything it could have been. That’s my thought.
I’m wondering what the new season is going to bring
for our favourite tv father and daughter. Keith caught Woody and bought Veronica two tickets to New York. Last minute, he stood her up at the airport. That’s not something Keith would normally do. What was in the
suitcase that could have been so important? I love the fact that Kendall is involved.
In more ways than one, Kendall was an important
to the season. She was first introduced as the gold-digging wife of Dick Casablancas Sr. and the step-mother of dumb-ass Dick
and shy Cassidy. There was nothing else to this Kendall Casablancas. Well, we learnt her real name was Priscilla Banks. She
was linked to the Fitzpatricks and had a thing going on with McCormick Fitzpatrick. Now she’s separated out favourite
characters. Kendall, it better be worth it.
I really liked how Jackie’s story wrapped up. I wonder
how many kids like her there are out there. She got mixed up with the wrong things: drugs and gangs. Oh and she has a child.
It’s no wonder she was that good at waitressing. I’m glad Veronica set everything straight and made her go see
Wallace. He himself had a lot of soul searching to do this year and Jackie helped him find himself. Too bad Jackie isn’t
the one for him. Her mother isn’t a model or does she live in the West side; she’s a waitress who had a one night
stand with Terrence. I wanted more with the Jackie storyline, though.
Logan’s story
ended beautifully. In the first episode, his relationship with Veronica wasn’t on the best terms. To say the least. He ends up saving Veronica and guess what, gets back together with her. He saved her on the
rooftop and stayed with her after her dad supposedly died. Let’s see how long
this new thing with Veronica is going to last. For now, I hope for the best.
The Bus Crash Files
-
Cassidy was the killer. He was molested by
Woody and blew the bus up to keep the two other victims from speaking out.
Quotable Quotes (there are a lot)
-
Aaron: “Well, I need a place to stay. How are the suites?”
Logan: “Well, probably an improvement over your previous digs. Might be a little weird, though. I don’t think
any of the other guests killed anyone.”
-
Keith: “How’s Logan taking the news?”
Veronica: “Shrugs it off. Calls himself Little Orphan Annie. Which I think
means...badly.”
-
Veronica: “Why are you here?”
Logan: “Yeah, I didn’t know you could come out during daylight hours.”
Kendall: “I have a business proposition for your father.”
Veronica: “Okay, but I’m warning you: he doesn’t carry much cash.”
-
Keith: “You all packed?”
Veronica:
“Vagabond shoes and all. And pepper spray, for if we run into that Trump character.”
-
Veronica: “Where’s your brother?”
Dick: “I think he took Ghost World up to his room. They’re probably up there making love. Or playing
Dungeons and Dragons. Or both, at the same time. They’re both, like, 12th-level dorks. I’m just sayin’.”
-
Duncan: “CW?”
Clarence Wiedman: “It’s a done deal!” We’re seeing Veronica Mars on the CW next year baby!
-
Veronica: “I don’t know if I like the idea of you running around a place
full of armed drunk business men.”
Keith: “That’s why
I rarely go to Texas.”
-
Clemmons: “I can’t decide if my life will be easier or more difficult with
you gone. Anything I should know in case I get another one like you someday?”
Veronica: “Don’t keep all your passwords taped on the bottom of your stapler, and stay cool Mr. C.”
Some Final Notes
-
I’m glad everyone cheered for Veronica
during graduation. She was shocked to hear the crowd go wild for her. Keith was ecstatic. You’d think Lianne could show
up.
-
We caught a glimpse of Alicia in the crowd.
The writers never told us how things are going between Wallace and herself or Keith and herself for that matter.
-
We saw Duncan again.
He’s in Mollymook, Australia. I’m glad he took care of Aaron. Now everyone can move on.
-
Was it necessary for Kendall
to sleep with Aaron? That’s just a thought.
-
Mac got the scare of her life. Psycho Beav
stole her clothes and phone. I’m glad she’s not dead.
-
I can’t believe Lamb arrested Weevil.
How can he be so hard as to arrest him during graduation? He couldn’t wait ten minutes. What’s going to happen
to him now?
-
Dick didn’t graduate. I’m guessing
that’s only because Mr. Wu told him he has to go to summer school. I don’t think we’ve seen the last of
Dick.
-
I almost forgot to mention Vinnie Van Lowe.
He’s in jail. Poor Vinnie. It seems Keith will have to split the cash with him. Ten thousand is still nice.
-
Kendall walked off as the happiest of all. She has eight million dollars stacked up
from the Phoenix properties. Cassidy bet against incorporation. Cassidy ended up helping her
after all.
-
Aaron is out of the way. Of course, it wouldn’t
do the character justice if he wasn’t having sex in his last scene.
-
I loved the idea of Lilly seeing her own memorial
plaque. Sad, but a good idea.
-
When are we going to hear from Lianne again?
I’m sure I missed
something, but this episode rocked. Did I like season 2? It was different. Veronica wasn’t as emotionally involved as
I would have liked but the Meg storyline and the final episodes kicked ass. College here we come! 5 stars
