I think I fell in love with Kyle Gallner during this episode. I've been thinking about this all day, and that entire scene on the rooftop is just incredible. INCREDIBLE. Kristen Bell made me cry for about an hour, the way she screams "HE KILLED MY FATHER" sends shivers down my spine. And that, for me, is why Kyle Gallner is just so awesome, because even after that moment where we realize all that Beaver's done and all he's taken away from her and from EVERYONE, I still manage to feel bad for him at the end. When he's on that ledge, and says "MY NAME IS CASSIDY", I just started to feel like, how would he have turned out if he'd been brought up by a normal family? It's just so, so tragic
( ... )
And then, in one fell swoop, that guy is ripped away and gone forever, in one of the most heinous ways possible. That's it exactly. I liked Cassidy but it turns out that guy never even existed. I imagine that is just a fraction of what Mac, and everyone else who thought they knew him, will be feeling. The thing is that while it does make since that Cassidy could be evil considering his genes and upbringing I just never saw it. If Dick were smarter and smaller in stature then he could be this manipulatively evil. I say smaller because if the other people can physically beat you up then you need to use your brains to make sure that they don't.
You know, if Keith had really died (which, boy am I glad he didn't), Veronica, Logan, and Dick could have formed there own Little Orphan Annie club of sorts I figure.Veronica would be president and treasurer. She'd make Logan secretary and Dick wouldn't be on the board. I didn't believe that he had died but I couldn't think of a reason for him not to until he showed up at the end. I just

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. I mean, I do understand that, too. As it was, a lot of people (you can see from a poll of TWoP) thought it was going to be Cassidy that killed those on the bus before the finale aired. I just refused to believe that, and I couldn't believe so many other people thought that it would be him. If there had been more clues, I'm thinking it just wouldn't have been very surprising, and Rob didn't want that. Of course, the price is that people who really liked/loved Cassidy hated seeing all that snapped away so very suddenly. It's like, as an audience, you go into shock and no no no, not

Okay, now that I can breath (W00t Season 3!)I can think about all of this again.

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.
I guess I was still focused on the kissing.You know what really bugs me? I really hate that we missed the stuff between the kitchen and that kissing. I know V talked to him on the phone, and we know that. V said to Keith that she and Logan were supposed to talk, though, and I wish we could have seen them talk and re-establish a relationship that way. Instead, we just got a little kissing. I think it would have just been so much better to see the talk FOLLOWED by the kissing, and you know, shorten some less important scenes (Jackie and Wallace's storyline for instance). Anyway, though, it just seems like there had to be some serious conversation(s) leading up to them being so back together again. I get that I think V finally decided she could really put her trust in him when he saved her on the roof, and she saw that he really cared deeply for her and was there for her when she needed him most. And I think she believes what he said about epic love when he was drunk. Still, though, you know some conversation(s)
