so i'm going to have to put thoughts in a different comment just cause I HAVE MANY

but here's whatever the hell i was thinking during this finale, rot13-free!

-the sound is ri-dick-ulous
-is there a party EVERYONE IS HERE
-huh (yeah my response too wtf)
-did matty take them
-what did penn do
-wtf did they do

-so are they a team
-what is happening
-NOPE
-oh my god the principal and jake kane
-i swear
-why why why
-wtf is clyde’s deal
-not sure starting over is on the table
-so where’s the ring
-DO NOT CLIFFHANGER ME WITH THESE RESULTS
-PRESIDENT ROSLIN
-oooooo no
-i scared
-THANK GOD IT WAS MEDS COMBOS
-oof
-DON’T SCARE ME LIKE THAT
-so rude
-yeah why not feels more in character than i do
-penn got the ring from don
-DO NOT KILL HIM
-WHY
-DAMN IT
-one year alright
-how did the NUTTs win
-well she had the ring
-was that sean astin….
-oh god she’s seeing roslin
-i’m so glad she’s getting help
-oh matty helping out
-oh god why do you hurt me
-HE WAS BETTER AND THEY KILLED HIM
-i’m pupset

pain, pain everywhere.

-wait wallace is leaving?
-qvq qba whfg fnl ur zvffrq urnefg
-jgs vf qba’f qrny V QBA’G GEHFG VG
-everyone is literally telling her to get out but she can’t
-so is penn actually legit or a red herring
-is this where veronica realizes she’s crossed lines…
-YUP OKAY
-ho boy it’s gonna hurt
-well it was bound to happen sometime
-so the nails are a thing - and i am lost
-a copycat?
-clyde is gonna learn that big dick lives up to his name
-why veronica
-DO NOT
-WHY SELF SABOTAGE
-oh thank god that was a dream….why was wallace there?
-WTF
-this is a low blow for big dick
-if it’s penn, is he trying to stay connected to what’s her name?
-don’t leave her there
-i’m suspicious of everyone
-nothing like the fbi to get everyone on the same team
-like i was suspicious at the beginning but don’t know what to do with this
-...is weevil learning about weight watchers
-clyde really will take any chance to screw someone over
-did claudia send her bf after veronica?
-yup alright
-DO NOT KILL KEITH
-oh thank god
-now go thank him your last meeting didn’t end well and he still came through
-ooooo this penn backstory is a bit too close to veronica…
-oh leo, you’re a good egg
-why are you hurting me like this
-nothing is okay
-i trust nothing clyde
-not shocked he sold him out
-of course it’s cliff - but i don’t think it’s penn
-bless you cliff for threatening for info
-where’s the bomb
-oh god matty what are you doing

hey look, it’s the episode i had almost finished watching when the first review dropped.

-what do you mean “entering” a world of pain
-yes veronica get help please

-so how much will the therapy hurt me
-the casablancas resemblance is uncanny
-wow they really are just gonna say it’s them
-so wifi killed the timer - on purpose or no?
-i am not with veronica on this (current me does not specifically remember what past me was talking about here tbh)
-okay so idk if he’s really back to active duty but this farewell - i’m cackling
-why put a gun in your pants why
-….and now i’m sad
-DON’T KILL HIM I SWEAR HE WORKED HARD TO BE BETTER
-THEY DON’T KNOW SHE’S WEEVIL’S SISTER
-can she just maintain friendships PLEASE
-i’m inordinately pleased leo planted the files AND played her
-yeah she’s in a really unhealthy place especially re: drugs and drinking
-will her mom show up
-CLARENCE WTF
-i paused to go post a comment and NOW HE’S BLEEDING GREAT

not much else to say except, yes, the downward slide is real and the past six episodes have been slowly ramping it up in a way that hurts to watch

EVERYTHING IS FINE

stuff. it happened.

-seriously what is up with the pizza guy
-pretty sure weed and a gun is a bad idea
-honestly feel like nicole is a red herring
-WEEVIL!!!
-I AM UPSET ABOUT THIS DYNAMIC
-are we supposed to see ourselves in the murderheads cause that’s how i feel trying to figure things out
-wallace KNOWS what matty’s doing
-so what is the point veronica can’t come back from
-“i know keith mars can’t be bought” T_T
-wow logan is reasonable wtf
-UM???
-VINNIE???
-ALIVE? DEAD?
-i don’t get what’s up with these nails
-alright godfather….
-this cassidy talk must be *really* uncomfortable
-DO NOT LET NICOLE BE INVOLVED FFS

Now that she’s older, I feel like she’s willing to do things she wasn’t when she was younger.

this. this is something i have so many thoughts on but it's so much easier to talk about it over the scope of the season.

alas.

(i really should have just finished the rewatch. OH WELL.)

-the NUTTs vs PCHers?
-WOW IT TOOK A MINUTE TO REMEMBER THE TA
-…but i’m only vaguely remembering any of the other inmates through context (thanks season 3….)
-have they not learned about leaving matty unsupervised
-LEO (lol logan)
-please fix things with weevil PLEASE
-GOD THIS REUNION
-pbasvezrq qba’f va qp
-VINNIE!!!
-jung’f gur evat ybbx yvxr? (vf qba npghnyyl va qp, ur unq bar)
-hey look an hoa
-wtf penn
-WOW EVERYTHING IS WORSE

‘wow everything is worse’ is pretty much the only way i could sum this up.

on another more spoilery note: nu lrf, gur ortvaavat bs zr guvaxvat qba jnf gur xvyyre. lrf, rira jvgu cnggba bfjnyg'f pnfgvat fgnevat zr va gur snpr zl oenva jrag 'uzzz guvf qba punenpgre vf fxrgpu pyrneyl vg'f uvz'

*fvtu*

And speaking of out of character, did anyone else have a problem with Veronica and Logan taking E at the club?

oh i have some Thoughts about it.

so apparently my motto going into this was trust nothing:

-then there’s the NUTT situation...
-my big question: WHERE IS WEEVIL
-DON’T TEASE ME WITH CONSPIRACIES
-there it is - blackmail. there’s the caginess
-the first of much speculation: url ybbx zber unpxvat erzbgryl, fb gur jvsv qrsvavgryl jnf cneg bs gur cyna (bu obl urer’f jurer v fgneg snyyvat qbja gur zheqreurnq fcveny)
-i’ve been listening to provost’s dog so it’s weird hearing rats in the rodent context
-it took me a sec to figure out why she has such chemistry with the bartender
-NO SCRUBS
-“my dad was all i had” THANKS MATTY
-speculation: qba: pbaterff va frffvba. JRYY (gou v qba'g ernyyl erzrzore jung v jnf guvaxvat urer ohg v pna unmneq n thrff)
-how did maloof’s life get so much worse from rescue
-was someone in the pd involved?
-WALLACE IS MATTY’S TEACHER
-don’t trust this medical situation
-WEEVIL FINALLY
-well there’s that bomb i was waiting for

note to self: don’t actively try to figure it out, especially this early in the show. it just makes me look silly tbh.

at least weevil has finally returned (and i still maintain he deserved a better hand than what he was dealt at the end of the original run). #stillbitter

just some more in the moment thoughts with more thinky stuff in rot13 at the end:

-so who was the target?
-wtf dick?
-izombie spoilers: naq gur yrnqre bs gur oyhr pboenf nccneragyl
-oh this is a movie…okay they got me i admit it
-OH RIGHT THE NUTT GUY WAS DICK’S DAD I FORGOT
-JK SIMMONS!!!
-everyone looks goofy for golfing
-i’m intrigued by chief langdon
-i was literally about to make the hulk reference but logan made it for me
-well i guess they’re not gonna dance around the logan issue
-i am gonna second guess every time i start to think ‘maybe clyde’s not so bad'
-“i think i can handle a 16-year-old girl” YOU KNOW BETTER VERONICA
-the vending machine makes sense
-i don’t remember liam tbh
-does the friend have the ring?
-i hate the pizza guy
-maybe the brother was being targeted, tried to check out early? might explain the cagey congressman

it’s always weird coming back to a show after a long break (not to mention i did not complete a rewatch thanks to the show dropping a week early and stuff got busy for a minute) so it definitely feels different. but i have been enjoying it a lot so just for fun i made note of whatever things popped into my head while watching:

-awwww, first instance of breaking and entering
-“smart” houses give me the creeps (did we learn *nothing* from the classic disney channel original movie?)
-i’m always gonna miss the original theme song but i do like this one
-cackling over this bet veronica and keith have going on
-speaking of keith: i’m upset
-SHE HAS HER OWN DESK
-(spoilers for both vm books i guess?): guvf qrsvavgryl gnxrf gur obbxf vagb nppbhag
-and of course neptune still has no middle class
-ngl this proposal situation has me worried that someone might not survive (spoilers: it’s me. i’m not going to survive this season)
-hi i already hate this nutt group also was it ever actually nice in neptune?
-mild good place spoilers: FVZBAR!!!! gurfr gjb unq terng purzvfgel ba gur tbbq cynpr naq vg pneevrf bire urer
-don’t know what’s up with this pizza guy but i don’t trust him
-*insert screaming when wallace and cliff show up here*
-izombie spoilers: naaaaaq erartnqr vf gur cbyvpr puvrs pbby pbby pbby
-so why was the wifi down? and is the opening of the show going to come into play later?
-i will admit i miss all the stained glass

there’s not a lot to add since it’s only the first episode but uh spoilers through episode 6 in the rot13 below:
