I'm assuming the reason we had no Weevil was because that would have been too much extra complication for new viewers.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
The Cormac/Kendall thing's not that tough:
- They were a grifter team and lovers. They and Cormac's kin were working together, probably on a con on Big Dick which was likely aborted when he skipped the country. We never got all the details.
- Kendall came into Beaver's money from the real estate deal last season.
- Liam wanted a (bigger) cut of the money, and Kendall decided to split, hiring someone trustworthy (Keith) to take care of the details.
- Liam hired Vinnie to find Kendall.
- Cormac got out, and decided that, rather than run off, he'd off Kendall and keep the money for himself. We do not know if Cormac and Liam are in communication.
- As the only person who knew where Kendall went, Keith would need to die, too.
- Liam was cursed by gypsies and got his soul back, which caused him to be tortured by his conscience for all the deaths he's caused. And then Darla dumped him and he got a haircut.

I'm still skeptical on the "killing" part, given that we didn't actually see Kendall get killed. Part of that is hoping the CC stays around, but part is the way the whole thing was filmed, with Cormac firing into another room.

Perspective is always very important on this show, so I'm sure the door is open in case they decide to bring the character back.

As Rob once said:
And Lynn Echolls is dead.
Unless I decide she's not.
Of course, he later said:
Don't lose faith. You're never really dead on Veronica Mars unless you're Lisa Rinna.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
I got all the connections that Victor mentioned (especially the Darla one), but it bugged me that Cormac waited until a dramatically significant moment to pull out the gun. That was kinda lazy.
Also, I know I'm in a significant minority here, but I love the new credits (because they are ultra-noir) and like the remix of the theme song.

They really grew on me, Corwood. I like them too. In fact, I think that at points, the music matches the visuals much better than the original version, the way the change from moody piano to boppy synth happens with Dick and Logan, and the shots of Parker and Piz have a special sort of energy to them. It stops working as well after that, but I really love that moment in the middle, and I can be propelled through the rest by the fun.

What is even happening?
I love the new credits in style and tone, but I think some of the photo shopping was a little amateur. I kept thinking, "My hed is pasted on yay."
