Totally. I...I'm not even sure how to respond to that. But, that was some damn good writing. I think I don't hate him anymore.

No kidding, and good acting too. He's so great at playing a...well...dick, but he sold that moment with his dad about Cassidy. Granted, he's been selling that Dick's one step from a major postal moment all year, but I was suprised how affecting that was.

I'm wondering how whether the promo was a monkey-crack promo or an accurate one. I'ma gonna be REALLY pissed if whatever version of the show isn't picked up and they leave us with a fucking cliffhanger.

Good all around -- the twists with the child soldier and his father, the trademark Veronica and Logan ambiguity with each other and anyone else they happen to be in a relationship with, The Cassablancas Family Dyfunction. All good.

But if they end this series on a sex tape story, I think I might be annoyed.

I liked this. Yay.

Dick... rocked. I love you, Dick!

Poor Piz is too much in love. Surprise!

Short sentences are my friends. Good night.

Well, next week is really two one hour episodes, right? So, the first hour - sex tape stuff -- the second -- who knows what?

Don't know if they know what they're talking about, but there it is.

someone at the comm pointed out that it's pretty much verbatim what Variety is saying except the VM portion of it. personally, i don't believe anything until the Upfronts or when it's been officially confirmed by someone at the network.

Was the Fitzpatrick henchman named Tommy Shaw? Tommy Shaw, on his way back to (the River) Styx, in fear for his life from the long arm of the law, the renegade who had it made, retrieved for a bounty?

Why, yes, I think it was that guy.

Well, next week is really two one hour episodes, right?

Rob Thomas said a while ago that the last two episodes would be a two-parter, but I think the plans changed since then. So we'll probably just get two one-hour episodes.

Heee! It's that awesome Styx song they used at the end of that bank-robber episode of Supernatural! When fandoms collide, etc.

That was a really good episode. The Apollo story kept me hanging and resolved itself very satisfyingly. I loved that Apollo was shrewd and smart, but no less genuine. This was so much better at tackling weighty issues than that heavy-handed episode wtih the middle eastern restaurant owners. And colour me floored at Casablancas Sr. return and at Dick's outburst. I didn't know Ryan Hansen had it in him. WOW.

Lots of solid threads being laid out for the next season if there is one:

Veronica and FBI internship
Vinnie likely winning the election, forcing Keith to go back to PI job
Stuff with Dick and his father
Wallace taking the job in Africa, explaining his likely long absence
Piz and Veronica probably not working out, because he's way more invested in the relationship than Veronica is.

Damn. I thought I was at peace with letting the show go, but I really want it to be renewed now..
