Also, anyone else have a big laugh at Logan's "I didn't know you could come out in daylight" line to CC?

::raises hand::

I'm still not sure, as I said when it was only a theory, that I'm able to buy Cassidy Casablancas, evil genius

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?

Mac's pretty scrappy. I think he wanted to be sue she would at least be stuck in the hotel room while he went off to dispatch Veronica.

Hey, I may not have said it, but I've believed it ever since he started real estating, at least.

Also, Cassidy has one hell of a scary sneer. For a while, I thought it was mediocre acting. Now, I'm interpreting as deep, underlying psychosis. Which I like better.

I can see wanting to get her not to come after him, but... isn't taking her clothes psychotic enough that, had he successfully killed Veronica, he'd be under suspicion? A lot of suspicion? If he had just LEFT her there, in the shower, it's not like she would have known to go to the roof, and he could have made up some story about needing to borrow her phone to make an important phone call or something.
