Funny, none of that bothered me. What bothered me:
• Beaver as the black-hat villain, twirling his mustache. The chlymidia connection was not enough. It felt like a bullshit grab, or to give them the benefit of the doubt, like the actor hadn't been told at the beginning, "You dun it," and so was playing innocent all season. Plus it pretty much ruins everything that was good about "Leave It to Beaver" last season, when he definitely was playing innocent. • Her panicked phone call to Keith, since Veronica's too smart to forget that cells don't work on a plane, plus wouldn't it have been cooler and more in character for her to use that call to alert Logan? • Beaver as mad bomber. Maybe I missed it in the zoom o' subplots this season (about four too many) but when exactly did he learn to blow things up? By himself? Things like planes, even small private planes which kind of have some extensive security around them these days? • Aaron Echolls' death. Yeah, yeah, but he was such a fun bad guy. Pout.
I thought Veronica's meltdown was appropriately timed, and I imagine finding out her father is alive after all helped her recover from the rest of it. Remember, Veronica's best trick is internalizing trauma that would leave the rest of us curled up in a fetal position.
As far as taking Logan back, well, he's pretty sweet when he's not psychotic. Plus there's the whole just-saved-my-life-and-cooked-me-bacon thing. Though I was amused by how fast he hightailed it out of the apartment when Keith showed up. At least no lamps got broken this time, eh?
Also, Kendall has to be the single most self-absorbed, reliably cold-hearted bitch I've seen outside a soap opera. I have no problem with believing she stepped over Aaron Echolls' cooling corpse to hightail it out. And I bet the deal she's offering Keith Mars has something to do with it.
Though I must give them grudging kudos for Weevil's disaster. We've never hated the sheriff more. You want to arrest the boy? Let him graduate high school and then arrest him. If their intention was to twist our guts in pain, it worked.
