Yeah, Mac, I know how you feel.

At long last, my thoughts on the Veronica Mars season finale! This is possibly the longest LJ entry I have ever written. I didn't intend it to be so detailed, and I hope it's not too pedantic. If you want to skip over my "issues" to the end, where I explain why I still love Veronica Mars, please feel free

Thank you for explaining all of this. I totally agree, TV loves the psychos who are smart, snarky and just one drop short of being clever enough to get away with it.

Like denyeverything1 (I think), I saw a lot of Beaver's ability to compartmentalize his life/actions because of the abuse by Woody, the neglect by his parents and being the wrong type of little brother for a kid like Dick. None of that excuses a single thing he did but the compartmentalizing worked for me looking back in "Plan B" when Beaver dumped Mac for talking about their relationship with Veronica. Beaver the Boyfriend didn't like Mac learning about Beaver the Rapist. Same with blowing up the kids on the bus - Beaver the smart kid at school couldn't allow Beaver the victim to be discovered
