I don't really blame the CW for avoiding the issue--people are *angry*--seriously, have you seen the imdb boards? Insanity. I mean, I'm pretty upset, but if I were a CW exec, I'd go into witness protection or something.

You're exactly right--it was amazing as a season finale, though I can't approve of it as a series one. But I like the idea that we've kind of come full circle--Jake Kane, Clarence Weidman, having her reputation ruined, the implication that Keith won't be sheriff anymore, and especially Lilly's picture...there's closure of a sort, but not enough for me.

Yeah, Mac's great. I'm so glad they finally made her a major character--I can't wait to watch season 3 and see her. Speaking of which, I laughed my butt off at the interaction between her and Dick--priceless! Seriously, that boy cracks me up--this is what he does, the way he deals with everything: get drunk and try to get laid. And he would so totally try to kiss Mac cuz he has no idea how to deal with his feelings about Cassidy....

Anyways, I got a little carried away with that whole beach scene. Which was another entry in the "full circle" thing--I was having deja vu the whole time.

I'm still kind of buzzed from last night, in case you can't tell--there was so much going on and I was just so happy to be watching it!
