Bad Boys Behind Bars

Last night completed Veronica's first mini-cycle mystery, unveiling the HEARST RAPIST. I'll try not to actually name the rapist in this post, although it's much less important to be surprised in this case than it has in previous mystery conclusions.

I mean, remember Aaron Echolls? Anyone? Now that was a dramatic finale. When he appeared in Veronica's rear-view mirror, all creepy-looking, I will admit it: I screamed. Out loud. Alone, in my apartment. I had no idea it was going to be him — but it made so much sense.

But Aaron's dead, y'all. So it couldn't be him. 

I liked the episode, and I think this mini-mystery concept might be good. If there are more excuses to do big, full-cast extravaganzas, I think everyone wins. 

And I think we can all agree that Logan Echolls has the worst taste in friends/worst luck in relatives. Aaron? Trina? Dick and Beaver? His fake half-brother? This Mercer kid? 

But at least he's not afraid to punch some dudes. Though it's obviously not the best way to go about things, especially with his record, getting himself thrown in jail so he can kick the shit of some rapists: Awesome. 

And it's not too soon to start thinking ahead! So let's start the speculation here…
