Actually, I was almost convinced that Dick was gay this week--we still don't know who Peter wanted to out or why he went on the field trip, and Dick mentioned he'd gotten the baseball tickets from the "gay kid." At this point, I'd guess that Peter gave the tickets to Dick, who took the tickets from his secret boyfriend and gave them to his secret girlfriend. (Bettina, I believe, not Patina.) However, at the top of the episode, I was convinced that Meg had drawn "I Am God" (her family's intense religiousness) and the ninth tombstone was for the baby. Shows what I know.

Loved the Wallace and Logan interaction.

I think this episode just confirmed that Peter and Woody were having an affair. That would be the outing of all outings and why else would a gay boy want to go tour a baseball stadium. Still the whole thought that someone had to see the bus in order to blow it up is an interesting one.

They are pointing way too many fingers at Woody if you ask me. Same with Dick and Beav. What would be the motive for Weevil to do it? I don't see that one.

this show is something else. slowly, episode by episode this season i've felt the show building up to something big, bigger than 'who crashed the bus'. i really want this show to become buffy. i know this show isnt about the supernatural, but i'm not completely convinced that Veronica wasnt talking to ghosts. didnt lilly save her life the day of the bus crash? the reason she didnt get on the bus was because she was following lilly. i dont know what the hell is going on with the show, but i love it and i cant wait to see where this goes. just one more season, CW, then i'm off the stuff for good!

oh, one more thing... "rat saw god"... "i am god", two episode titles from this season, and i'm guessing they're clues.

you forgot one of the best quotes from this ep
something like this...
"Were you watching House of Wax again? You know that Hilton girl gives you nightmares"

and there was also:
"I would like to tell you but I'm not Jennifer Love Hewitt...yo know 'cause she's the Ghost Whisperer"
also:
"And Rosebud was just a sled..oh did I ruin Citizen Kane for you?"

Did anyone catch a little plug for Kristen's movie Pulse? it went something like this: "In Veronicaland no pulse no privacy"

I'd love to comment on this week's show, but unfortunatly KCOP 13 here in the LA Area replaced it with bloody baseball game.

*sigh*

Guess I'll have to wait for the repeat on Sunday.

.mf.

I was just glad to see Paula Marshall again. Damn she's smokin'.

And between the Shocker, the Drity Sanchez, the wagging finger/dick come lines... how do they keep getting this stuff past the censors? I don't care how they do it, I just love the fact they do.

Regarding the increasingly great and mature play on words the show has been breaking out with recently, is anyone else completely and utterly beyond impressed that an upcoming episode is actually titled, "See You Next Tuesday"? That is GOLD!

While tonight's episode didn't have any of the "Wow!" moments of a lot of this seasons episodes, it certainly spun everything with just enough precision that you can't help but no the writers have got something really heavy in store.

The amount of connections that were established tonight were daunting... I'm done trying to figure it out, I'm letting the show have its way with me.

I don't think Dick is gay but I wonder about his brother. I mean look at last weeks episode. His reaction to moving faster with his girlfriend, he was offended.

Weevil was with Veronica on his bike and they got there after the bus had already crashed. If the "he had to see the bus" theory stands, Weevil doing it can not.
He could have mandate it sure but come on, we're talking about a teenage gang of bikers here not about the Corleone family.

The theory you guys have about Woody and possibly Dick gained even more points after this episode for me, but then again I wouldn't be surprised about a possible twist.

As far as the best quotes, I'm a big Johnny Cash fan and couldnt stop laughing when Veronica said "I also shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die" in the college episode, pure gold!

"Dick mentioned he'd gotten the baseball tickets from the "gay kid.""

Actually Dick said the "gay kid" had thrown them in the trash and he picked them up.

Did anyone else notice the "Goodman for Mayor" bumpersticker just over the school counselor's shoulder in every (or nearly) every shot of her when she's talking with Veronica? Given that Veronica is talking with her about the bus crash and how the victims were linked, I'm wondering if it's one of those "in plain sight" clues...

re: comment 12, yeah, that's what Dick said, if you believe him. I just think that since they made a point of connecting Dick with Peter, there might be something there.

i loved this episode, i think it was the best one so far. heres the problem, why they hell would upn tell everyone that V is moving to tuesday nights, when it aired at 1am. if upn know that there was a baseball game that nite, how come they didnt wait until next week to show VM on tuesday. i was excited to see V on tuesday and i look and see that theres a stupid game on.

Mr. Wu -"Veronica, I think when you get out in the world a little more, you'll discover that not all well-dressed, articulate detail-oriented men are gay. Many of them are just ... Asian."

Sometimes a TV quote becomes a classic and migrates into the general population as a "Meme". If this had been on LOST or Idol, tens of millions would have repeated and joked about Wu's Inscrutable Wisdom. It is good enough that it might make it out of VM to the gen pop as a "Asian metrosexual" thing. I know two Chinese-Americans were howling about it (positively) at work the next day, each had a brother just like Mr. Wu.

And finally some new hot Veronica-Logan passion, even if presented as a flashback. I was a big fan of Jessy Schram's character Hannah, and how Hannah was becoming an appealing, well-acted character of growing complexity and likability - culminating a quite hot love scene that made me forget her "looking younger than she is - thin bod..". But 1 minute of Logan and Veronica going at it, plus the intense wordless dance last episode - reminded me Hannah was a promising Farm Team rookie, Kendall was the crusty batgirl shagging every grounder pluncked her way...and on V's side, Duncan was the limp-armed pitcher you wish you could get a ticket refund from the sheer pain of watching him perform. While Veronica-Logan was two best in the League playing in the same game. Again. Finally. KB's Veronica, after all those wasted episodes of uncaring bitchiness, cynicism, no romance or worse, Donut romance - is finally returning to the sexy, hot, feeling, passionate, mind at warp speed, INVOLVED Veronica we liked so much in Season One.

Besides Hannah, I also liked Alona Tal's Meg, and even dead Meg was fun to have her back. Funny how Schram and Tal (who was runner-up to KB for casting Veronica in 2004) will be co-leads in Spelling Prod's new "Split Decision" show.

Just a friendly reminder to our friends in LA... the episode is being rerun tonight, at 9pm I believe... maybe 8. Check your local listings.

And a side note to comment number 5 - Since you made the Buffy comment first, I'll go ahead and tie this one in... I've had a feeling we were going to see something more than the bus crash become the focus of the season finale. A la BTVS Season 6... the trio was never really the enemy...

As far as the title for the last episode goes "Not Pictured", I don't have a theory yet, but considering it is senior year and all - maybe it's alluding to year book photos - especially after the year book spread scene in this episode... there might be something there. Just a couple of thoughts.

Fantastic stuff. They really decided to bombard us w/ clues and non-clues this week to muddy the water before the final month of episodes. Need to rewatch to try and catch them all. One question, didn't Dick's dad get them a limo to drive them back from the stadium b/c the bus stank? If so, the father hoping to cash in from their death doesn't jive. All signs still point to Woody but now there are a hell of a lot of other candidates. Like usual, I figure by the end I'll be completely surprised. Love this show.


"no wait you. You were too much man."

This was actually part of my theory before this episode. Veronica has deduced that the killer had to be in eye sight of the bus to know when to trigger the bomb. The bomb was triggered by cell phone (the bomb used a cell phone as part of the trigger).

Weevil is now exonerated because he and Veronica were not within eye sight of the crash.

Everyone in the Limo is still a suspect as is anyone who was hiding along side of the road. (Like say... Woody)

I still say Woody did it. We are going to find out that on the same day as the bus crash Woody's little league team was having their team picture taken. Only Woody wasn't there so he's not going to be in the picture. (The team photo will be discovered in the video shot on Woody's house, but Woody's not in it).

I just love the whole Veronica/Logan flashback. I never liked her with Duncan, and the Hannah/Logan relationship was doomed from the beginning. I don't know if the directors are going to, but I think Veronica and Logan should end up together in the end. It seemed like they were giving clues as to if they were going to, because the scene at the dance and when they were at Logan's locker. Also, Wallace is getting to like Logan and that would work out if V and Logan got back together.
