Okay, now that I can breath (W00t Season 3!)I can think about all of this again.
I think Rob must have really wanted it to come as a shock to as many people as possible, so he didn't want to incorporate anything extra to show who Cassidy really was.
That's it. I can't think of a single scene where Cassidy was on his own and (possibly) just being himself. He was always around someone that he would have to 'act' in front of. When you lay out each of the facts it is easy to see Cassidy as the killer. That is also true about many of the other people on the show. Duncan for example.
True, and people would have believed Dick as a killer a lot easier probably, but I also love watching that character (in a very different way than Cassidy of course, but still), so I would have hated the loss of him as well.
The weird thing is that I think that murder is the one thing Dick couldn't do. He is evil but not quite cold blooded. I didn't like him at all at first but he has grown on me, like a fungus. I enjoy watching him now.
Plus, with V going to college, I could just see the writers deciding to write him out, kind of like how they killed off Buffy's mom (albeit not until the fifth season, but still).
The episode that Buffy's mom died was very good and I really didn't like it. I hate the idea that you have to kill off the parent to make the 'hero' really stand on their own. This happens over and over in stories but in real life you hardly ever find a very successful person who becomes that way after being orphaned. Good parents aren't usually something you need to overcome in order to become a good person yourself. As unbelievable some of the situations in Veronica Mars are I don't have any trouble believing them because Veronica herself, and the other characters, are so very real in how they react to the situations.
Even when Keith goes into the kitchen, at first I thought it would just be V imagining while she's crying on Logan what she wished would happen - kind of like how Buffy dreams Joyce is revived and taken to the hospital and they say she'll be alright before Buffy is snapped back to reality.
Especially with all of those dreams Veronica had been having. I am so glad that Keith was real. Enrico is great and I love Keith just for being Keith. The show (and Veronica) wouldn't be the same without him.
