Corwood, I will link to it, once it's posted. I'm trying to work backwards and support my conclusion.

Only with some other people as well, and a different design, and individual accounts rather than threads, and pictures, and reading lists instead of a message center and...
Yes. Exactly like that.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
So I was 2/3 the way through this week's episode, when I realized that I can't watch Veronica Mars anymore.
Earlier this season, they had a particularly nasty child abuser, and they let him get away with it. That episode was like a gut-punch to me. And they haven't addressed the issue; the little girl is still locked in the closet. Now they have a child-molester and a statutory rapist who will (presumably) also get away with it.
Obviously, I have a lot of personal issues here. It's probably a good sign for me that these things are starting to ping me. But I would certainly feel a lot better about these things if they actually showed the bad guys getting caught and punished.
I can't take it, it's too fucking grim for me.

Tom, do you want to hold off on the finale, and have people spoil you as to whether the abusers get their just desserts, or do you just need to get out, completely?

Probably the latter. I doubt there will be enough dessert to satisfy me.

I have had to stop watching things I've loved that were not good for me in one way or another. I'm sorry that's happened to you with VM, but I can understand why. I think you're wise to make that choice. I love it, and would convert everyone I know if I could, but at the end of the day, it's just a freaking TV show, and isn't worth actual real life consequences.
I don't think Thomas is at all concerned about satisfying endings where the moral issues are concerned, so I'm not sure there will be just desserts, either. Aaron's acquittal itself didn't remind/convince me that that sort of satisfaction doesn't seem to be one of Rob Thomas's goals. But Aaron's acquittal coming on the heels of Veronica's speech about needing that moment where she could look at Aaron after he was convicted, and that she basically blew off her one chance for Stanford to see him convicted, and then allowing Aaron to look at her, the way she should have gotten to look at him. That convinced/reminded me what he's doing here.
