I considered it, but that would have involved putting on my headphones.

It's bookmarked for later use.

I just watched it.

Gorgeous schmoop! The motel balcony moment! Logan in his rumpled tux, tie undone!

I'll just be over here, shipping.

I have an extreme fondness for the corn syrupy goodness of 50s Doo-wop, anyhow. That I can crack up while being all sort of l/v 4eva just...I may never watch anything else, ever again.

I'm with you, Amy. I've been a rational l/v shipper for the last two seasons. I think rationality went out the window with the roof scene, the couch pieta scene, and the hallway kisses. I kept wishing Logan would show up in the final scene, saying, "Your dad just gave me his ticket. He has a big case. Let's go to NY."

It's sad what this ship has done to my...yeah. Just to my my.

I kept wishing Logan would show up in the final scene, saying, "Your dad just gave me his ticket. He has a big case. Let's go to NY."

Oh, honey. That was my first thought. Logan and Veronica doing Manhattan together! Wheeee! For the moment, what Keith was doing with the briefcase and why he would suggest Logan going with Veronica didn't matter a whit.

Yeah. This ship has me by the...well, just by the the.

Heh. I just walked out to the kitchen to get more coffee. Scott left the radio on. The Righteous Brothers' Unchained Melody began as I entered the room, and suddenly I wanted more L/V vids to that.

It's a sickness, Buffy.

Veronica's cell phone's being out of range doesn't explain anything. Airlines will page people for you, and Veronica could have used a public phone when Keith didn't show up. I can't believe Keith would have just left a message on her cell phone without actually talking to her. People sometimes seem to forget that we used to communicate without cellphones.

They could just as easily have shown her on a pay phone saying, "Dad, my cell phone isn't working. Where are you? What's going on?" or her reacting to "Paging Veronica Mars. Miss Veronica Mars," but they didn't; they showed a cell phone that said no signal. Maybe she called him. Maybe he paged her. But if the choice is leaving a voice mail or completely blowing her off I prefer to think that good dad and general mensch KM left a voice mail. Of course, I'm often wrong.

Maybe it's got something to do with the breaking and entering that Keith did to Kendall's house? Something to do with her and the Fitzpatricks and the hard drive he stole? Possibly Veronica's safety in Neptune?

Hadn't really thought of this until you mentioned the break in, but wouldn't he (or at least "shouldn't he") be leery of going somewhere with a woman whose companion recently tried to kill him? By nature or nurture (ex-sheriff/PI) wouldn't he be unlikely to follow her into a possible trap? Only four months or so until we find out.

Did anyone (particularly thinking of Plei, here, but anyone) wonder for a second during the finale, if CC was pregnant again? There was something about her face.

I agree that's why it's gotta be Veronica's safety or a direct implication of Keith going to jail that would compell him to take immediate action with Kendall. AND it's gotta be something that obviously implicates Kendall too, to make Keith trust her.

Mars Investigations was a big resource for this entry, as were the fabulous transcripts of . I was originally going to whittle stuff down, but hey...in episode 2:02, who'da thunk Cassidy blew up the bus? Without further ado...
