ARGH. That was not what I was waiting for all season long.

First of all? First of all, shooting Wallace like that was not. fucking. funny. I was tense through the whole episode, and not in the good what's-going-to-happen way. I'm still kind of tense. I know Wallace has kind of sucked lately, but I still love him to bits and that's no reason to have him nearly die. Like, I had a real, visceral reaction to it, much moreso than with Keith, which is kind of weird, but I mean. It's Wallace! And so now, Keith got shot at while there were no bullets in the gun, Wallace was shot at with blanks, I'm thinking the next person Veronica loves that gets shot at won't be so lucky (har har har). (ETA: Oh! And Logan was shot at, too, but the chamber was empty.) So. Who's it going to be? Actually, I'm more inclined to believe Laura's idea--Logan's going to shoot Aaron. Or maybe Logan's going to try to shoot Aaron, and get one in the chest himself instead. Not that he'll die, of course, but hey. Every season could end with a will-he-or-won't-he get killed cliffhanger. I don't know who else could get shot. Unless it's Duncan. I'd be okay if they killed Duncan.

No, I really don't think Aaron's going to live through the next episode. I don't see how he can. Veronica thinks he deserves to die, and we all know how her moral compass works. Someone's going to kill him and whoever that someone is won't experience any sort of repercussions, if you know what I mean.

Oh, also? So Veronica knew Logan destroyed the tapes? And she didn't care?? There's a real, honest to god reason for her to be angry with him, and she's not? Bzuh? Not that it really would have mattered. I think he would have gotten off either way. But still. Also? There weren't police officers who could attest to what was on the tapes? Someone other than Duncan, Veronica and Logan saw those tapes.

Anyway. I officially have no faith in the fact that everything will be wrapped up in next week's episode, because HOW THE HELL CAN THEY? No, seriously, I want to know. They barely touched on anything this week. Which I would have been totally okay with if the trial scenes had been better. ARRRRGGH. Especially since how much do I not care about Beaver & Mac and Terrance & Jackie? Not even a little tiny bit, that's how much. Especially if they aren't going to touch on any of the things I want to know about.

...I'm gonna go to bed. I didn't actually hate this episode, I'm just still reeling a little. More thoughts later, when I'm much less tense and can actually piece together my bus crash spec.

But remember, when she's all in looooove with people she doesn't notice sometimes. Remember how Duncan had a baby and she didn't give a shit and still looooooved him all the way to Mexico?

And oh my god, word with the Wallace reaction. I felt that in my GUT.

Well, this is true, but Duncan is a perfect specimen of a human being who could never do wrong, and even if he did, it should be ignored at all costs. All Logan has to do is breathe wrong and she jumps down his throat. :p

And yes. I don't know, putting it at the beginning of the episode like that sort of ruined any enjoyment I could get out of it. The whole time I was alternately cursing the show for making us think they could kill him, and dreading whatever horrible thing was going to happen by the end.

Yeah, I don't think they can wrap it up. I have a feeling next season's mystery will be directly tied to this season.

Aaron getting off? Knew it was going to happen, I was just hoping it wouldn't it. I don't know. The show took the direction I was hoping it wouldn't.

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

Oh, I was hoping it would happen, but I was hoping the trial scenes would be a little more, oh, I don't know, gut-wrenching? Since the whole of last season was culminating in this? Just...grah! I'm still not entirely calmed down. I had the urge to come banging on your door last night to complain, but by the time I was finished with the episode, it looked like the glow of the computer screen was gone from your room. :p

(Also, for once, the icon isn't looking at you, it's looking at RT! :p)

Wow. Naughty, naughty things. Mmmmm, yes.

Here's my take: you sit through the episode waiting for something to happen, not entirely sure what, then it ends. And you're all, oh. That's it.

It made me realise that the finale has a very high possibility of sucking ass.

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

Um, pretty much. I was so tense through the whole episode, and then there was absolutely no release. I guess if I'd thought Aaron had a possiblity of being convicted, the not guilty verdict would have been it, but not even that so much.

I was so excited for the trial, too. And now I have absolutely no expectations for the finale, other than yeah, it's probably going to suck. And twelve hours later, I'm still not any less angry about it.

what the hell. i live in new york and stupid upn is playing the nets game! how come i cant watch my veronica?!?!? life is not fair, i to want to watch people get shot.

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

Well, he didn't get *actually* shot. I don't think the real shooting will come until next week.

They've been preempting VM in NY for a couple of weeks now, haven't they? Shouldn't NBA stuff be over by now? I think they might be re-airing it tonight, though. If not, then at least over the weekend.
