After the plane exploded, I turned to Tom and said, "if they killed Keith, I will no longer watch this show."

Nora, you and me both. Didn't you see the invisible, silent me there in your place when I turned and said that to Tom?

But anyway, that was my thought - that killing Keith would be too much. I'm still not sure, as I said when it was only a theory, that I'm able to buy Cassidy Casablancas, evil genius (I was hoping and praying that he was just freaked and it would turn out that the other kid on the team she couldn't ID - the Applegate kid or whoever - would turn out to be Duncan playing on the team under a fake name so his parents wouldn't know), but both actors did a hell of a job.

Whatever is in Kendall's briefcase better be REALLY FUCKING INTERSTING, or Keith Mars is going to get an earful from me. Also, anyone else have a big laugh at Logan's "I didn't know you could come out in daylight" line to CC?

I need to study for a final. Convince me to do so, rather than rewatch. I can rewatch on Thursday.

Weidman killing Aaron was so completely unexpected to me.

Me, too. But that's where even watching the promo annoys me, because I knew at that point what the reaction scene of Duncan on the beach on the phone meant.

Up to that point I was waiting to see how he would fit in, whereas if I hadn't watched...even more of a surprise.

He did play it really well tonight, but I agree -- mostly I'm remembering him as sympathetic and kind of pitiful, sad and wounded and lost puppy. I feel like if I could mainstream the whole season in a day or two, I might see more hints that he was capable of all of it, and RT certianly planted all the right hints, but I suspect they had him underplay the evil genius aspect of Cassidy for the shock factor.

I gotta say, Weidman killing Duncan was the noirest moment in noirville.

Heh, your slip is showing, Sigmund.

Keith said Lamb had him taken off the plane at the last minute - I would guess if Lamb had been there he never would have let him get on it, so I suspect he was on the ground in Neptune where all the reporters were.

There were hints about Cassidy all over the place. Indeed, he was my first suspect, a long way back, but I couldn't connect him to the bus crash. Then, as more and more info emerged that did connect him to the crash, well, I guess I just didn't want to believe it.

I was wondering if there were cameras in the elevators when Aaron "confessed." Did you see them? Or are you guessing?

Educated guess based on the elevator surveillance footage of Cliff and the hooker, and Lamb and Madison. As Aaron said, there don't seem to be that many hotels in Neptune.

Do you mean for Lilly's killing? Interesting.

There were definitely hints that he had a nasty streak; it's the times that he was acting easy-going/sweet that don't quite parse for me - the nastiness never seemed that controlled, so I have issues buying the other, even at the level of a sociopath (and would a sociopath care that much about being outed and why didn't he just do something to Woody instead?).

Do you mean for Lilly's killing? Interesting.

No, for the bus crash. But I discounted it at first, and concentrated on the idea that he didn't care about Kendall at all and had set his dad up to fall.

Which no one here believed. And it turned out to be true. So there. (:

Huh. Also. If Cassidy planned on getting away with it (and I see no reason to doubt that) why would he have taken all of Mac's clothes and been generally sociopathic at her? Wouldn't it have worked better to... not?
