All of the shockers stop being existential signposts and become more along the lines of "How can we beat down our hero?"
Even the stealthy obscene hand gestures?
Sweetie, we're crooks. If everything were right, we'd be in jail.

What is even happening?
Quick question: Does anyone know the date of the Neptune High Graduation? I remember the Alterna-Prom invites were dated something round abouts May 13th.
If not, were there any visual cues to the date in last night's episode? I tried to look for the date on the newspaper Veronica's poring over at the beginning, but I couldn't see it.

I don't think Weevil is going to be convicted for murder but for assault and possibly theft.
Didn’t need the fake airborne explosion – I believed Cassiday when he pushed the button
There was a lot of doubt about the explosion upthread, but I loved it. I wouldn't have believed Cassidy otherwise (I mean, he didn't really kill Mac, did he?), and the obvious connection between him pushing the button and the sudden burst of light in the sky just sang to me. It was a visual metaphor not just about that confrontation, but also Cassidy's and Veronica's mental states and the nature of the reveal.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
The explosion in the sky seemed kind of cheesy, but in retrospect it was kind of necessary for the scene. Veronica needed to believe her dad was dead, and Beaver just pushing a button wouldn't be enough.
Especially since, up until the explosion, I had assumed since Veronica was unable to reach Keith on his cellphone, the cell reciever hooked up to the bomb wouldn't work either.

I had a "yeah, right, what a coincidence," reaction, at the moment of explosion, but both Kristen and Kyle then earned the entire scene, three times over, and now I'm feeling all protective of it.

The evil is this way?

I thought the text messaging said it was June 2 or 3, 2006, but I'm not sure.

I thought it was too much the first time I watched it, but I think I'm coming around to the idea that it needed to be witnessed for Veronica to believe that her dad was really dead. But he wasn't. It was a Big Old Plot Twist. I felt too manipulated. If Keith really was dead or if VM had shot Cassidy, then the scene would have more lasting -- and legitimate -- impact. I dunno. Maybe it was necessary for the audience to see how far Cassidy had gone. Maybe he needed to see this about himself. I dunno.
