WOW! I can't believe its over... 'Rob Thomas is a Wh0RE!'
My thoughts on the finale...
First, it wasn't a series finale, but I wouldn't have it any other way... Rob Thomas said he wouldn't make a pseudo-series-finale that could be the end but could just be a season finale because he thought it would make it too easy for them to cancel the show...
Sure it didn't pay off, but cheers for having some balls and actually doing EVERYTHING to keep the show on the air, Rob! I know I appreciate it.
Even though this wasn't a real series finale, they gave us hints about where different characters will end up...
Veronica looked like she may very well get back with Logan (which I like the idea of, but am kinda glad I dont have to see). I love she got into the internship @ the FBI, and I love WAY WAY more that we got to see her as a real PI before the end of the series.
I like that Keith lost the election protecting his daughter. It really was a amazing way to show how bound these two characters are to one another, and the beautiful relationship they have.
Best part of the finale: 'Am I'm back in high school'. If only for one episode, the finale did a great job of returning Veronica to the alienated bitter outsider who took great joy in bringing down those would hurt her ('So you had a bad day'... amazing!)
I also thought it was bitter sweet that while Keith's dreams of returning to his position as sheriff were crushed, it was kinda cool that @ the end of the series, he's a PI again. That's how we've known and loved him.
One finale thought... My jaw dropped when VMars saw that painting of Lilly. It was so haunting, and an AMAZING touch to bring Jake Kane (and his boarding school indiscretions... wink) into this final episode.
Two great episodes. One great series. While I enjoyed Season 3, it never matched the glory of seasons 1 & 2, but I am happy that with this finale episode we got a reminder of what made this show so amazingly great.
Can't WAIT for Rob's next TV project. Let's hope for a Sorkin 'Sports Night'/'West Wing' scenario.
