Oh, Christ.

On the dramatic front, this gives Veronica a reason to stay in Neptune. Although I don't know how she'll get her justice with double jeopardy mocking her on the face.

Awesome, packed-to-the-gills episode.

this gives Veronica a reason to stay in Neptune

That's what I thought -- she threw away her scholarship because she had to be in the courtroom.

Awesome, packed-to-the-gills episode.

Total understatement. Still trying to process everything.

you know what i love about this show? the throwbacks. these last few episodes have mirrored last season a lot. what did tonight have in common with ATtD? the flashbacks were all told from the teller's POV with the added bonus of making them look good. this episode? the different POV on what really happened in LitB.

I love this show. also? nice Ruskie Business casting throwback. oh and Rick Pickett? hahahaha...

Damn good episode. My only fear is that Aaron Echols will be behind everything this season too, which I would hate. It seemed to have that look from the preview, but that is probably just the UPN promo department.

did everyone's brains go 'splodey?

Who was the guy from the beginning, by Beaver's car?

Okay, thoughts.

I was worried about Veronica sending the emails to her father, since they would show up in any "sent" directory on Woody's computer, but Keith took care of that by giving it away.

Mac is too wonderful for words. After the way Cassidy treated her, to save his ass? Love her.

Also, Weevil saying, "I'll kill you. Or myself. At this point it's a toss-up," was beautiful. And the whoo hoo on the algebra test, while we know the sheriff will be coming nay minute broke my heart.

Don't the new medical privacy laws preclude them giving away a witness's medical history in open court? And Keith finding out about that way was awful.

Isn't there a police incident report on Aaron's attack of Veronica? Why was Aaron's lawyer acting as if the whole thing was simply hearsay? Plus, the "he said, she said" of Veronica "propositioning" him is ridiculous -- I know it's supposed to create doubt, but since the defendant was admittedly already involved with a teenager, wouldn't it make the jury doubt that claim? (Although, I guess, clearly not. Damn it.)

The painting of the catcher's mask is now incredibly creepy, and I loved realizing they had Gia sitting in front of it during the study session.

I was initially kind of disappointed that Woody does seem to be a child molester, because it now seems obvious (you know, with 20-20 hindsight), but it also makes it seem less likely (to me, at least) that he will turn out to be responsible for the crash, because that's just too easy.

Hated the fact that Aaron was found not guilty, because it also seemed too easy in a way (especially since it allows him be walking around free for the finale), and also because, given the evidence, I think most juries would have found him guilty. Or maybe I'm just that naive. I don't know.

I don't know what to think abut the crash now. Who would stand to benefit from keeping those kids from outing Woody?

My only fear is that Aaron Echols will be behind everything this season too, which I would hate.

Me. Too. So much so.

It's going to be a looooong week.

Who was the guy from the beginning, by Beaver's car?

That was Hart, in an tiny but awesome continuity throwaway, who was the kid that was making the war movie that showed Lynn jumping off the bridge in "Mars vs. Mars." He had a bit of a growth spurt, I see.

it was Mars vs Mars, wasn't it? i had a mini marathon yesterday afternoon. watched MvsM, the L/V parts of Kanes and Abel's and Ruskie Business. amusing that they used a guest star from one of the eps that i decided to watch.

I'm fascinated by what wasn't in this episode: Kendall and the Fitzpatricks.
