The villain was something he put on to shield that wounded kid.
This. I got the distinct impression, because of how fast he dropped it as soon as the situation was out of his control (i.e. when Veronica finally got the gun), that the whole mustache-twirling, moo-ha-ha-ha! bit on the roof was partly to work himself up to offing Veronica, and partly to put himself out there firmly as villain rather than victim.
I also think his subsequent leap had as much to do with Veronica (and, let's face it, Logan, who had a perfect chance when HE got the gun) being able to let it go as it did with his own misery.
If anything, he was upset that he kept being winning.
This is intriguing. Perhaps it was the notion that "THIS is how you get ahead in the world?!?!??!" taking its toll?
One thing that occurred to me: we never get to see any reaction from Dick about his brother dying or Gia about her dad being on the lamb (as opposed to on The Lamb, which, eh, we'll find out happened next season at this rate.)
No. I have no idea if either actor will return in a recurring role. I'm willing to accept any hand-waving necessary in order for Ryan Hansen's Dick to return. I'm not sure how they could bring back Gia. I enjoyed her, but I think it might be weird to have her around. I'd rather they not waste time on her, I think.

EXACTLY. To the end, he resisted being seen as the vicitm.

Oh, I doubt we'll see any more than a one-off of her, unless they have a story to tell. I get the distinct impression they're trying to start with a clean slate next season as much as possible.
VM was picked up. Rejoice.
LINK! i need a LINK, MAN!!!!
Rob e-mailed me. You don't need a link. But Ausiello just reported it too, since he got the same e-mail. Kristin Veitch, too.
Tom: yeah, 13 with an option for the back 9 if the ratings STOP SUCKING.
I wonder if Rob might rejigger his three-arc season to finish up the second one at ep 13?
I saw your lj post and the Aussiello link. i stepped away to do a victory dance.
