Do You Smell Bacon?

[spectralbovine]

Last year's FinaleCon was tophatter2 coming over to my house with store-bought snickerdoodles. This year's was a more extravagant affair.

In attendance were cadhla, porpentine, harriettheelf, holly96, and beeker121, all of crashing ivyisgilgamesh's sister's place. First, we had pizza and discussed theatre mishaps throughout the years. Then we watched the Glimore Girls finale and ate cookes brought by holly96 and made by harriettheelf,

I just have two words for the Beaver change. MASKED IDENTITIES. They were working up to this ALL FLIPPIN' SEASON. So I can buy the EVIL Beaver on the rooftop. Because he was a) telling lies to live and b) making false identities to mask the real ones. Themes we've dealt with heavily all year. The character even has TWO NAMES. Talk about the dictotomy of character!

[spectralbovine]

But Cervando has THREE LAST NAMES!!! TRICHOTOMY WOOOO.

[zimshan]

Cervando is all next year's plotpoint. When we learn he gets perfect test scores and weeps to sappy movies AND kills PHCers for fun!

[loopychew]

Cervando is the climax of all three of next years' mini-arcs. Once each under his different names.

I kept expecting Keith to show up in that last scene. I mean, he wouldn't ditch Veronica just for a shitload of money, right? There has to be something up, something more important. And! he would call her! Or maybe he shows up afterward.

I guess CW stood for two more things today: Cloud Watchers and Clarence Fucking Wiedman. Or wait, that would be CFW.

Definitely don't think there was money in the case. My current theory, based on nearly nothing, is that it's Aaron's other Oscar, she's going to confess she helped him "frame" Duncan, and ... well, I don't know what else. But it's still my theory!

Great recap, spectralbovine. Mostly I felt the same way, except that I kind of liked that Beaver raped V. Not that he did it, you know, but that it turned out that way. I guess I like the piling on of things! Wait, that's not what I meant!

[tamarai]

Oh, and why didn't Dick graduate? Confused, I am.

[spectralbovine]

He failed physics, remember? Mr. Wu will see him in summer school.

[snoopypez]

I love how you just drop in there that you called Rob. Bragger. ;P

DAMN all the spy pens!!

I still don't see why Duncan had to be redeemed at all, but hey. If it gets more people liking him, I'm all for it. ::snort::

And.. yes. That is apparently all I have to say.

I don't really have a problem with Cassidy being suddenly evil. That's the point. It's supposed to be shocking. That's life. I mean we knew he was sort of genious and shady like when he started the real estate company with Kendall. And we've seen flashes of his anger. I agree with what zimshan said. He was probably trying to hide his true nature from even himself. He was obviously mentally disturbed, and I think Rob used the Mac and Beaver ship to distract everyone.

That made no sense and no point, but oh well.

[spectralbovine]

No, it made sense and had a point!

[lonesomepioneer]

iawtc. Well said.

Last night I was pretty much in the wow and okay field. I can see the faults everyone has focused on and I agree - Beaver did need a little graying but I really feel zimshan is right - it was more of the two faces of evil. Sometimes when you're hiding yourself and get comfortable in the role, it becomes such a radical shock when you stop playing it. To me, it was Beaver was unmasked and now- he doesn't need to play a role anymore. And he just basically said and did everything he has been hiding and lying about.

I just felt they had a lot to shoehorn in and some areas did feel rushed but overall last night I was all wow and they went there and okay then.

I'm just hoping the done deal really is done. They can't leave us all confuzzled about Keith and Veronica.
