#SPOILERS#
I've never watched this show before, I've binged it over the past two weeks and it was one of the best teen series I've seen, especially because it was so fundamentally different from all of them. But alas, this show was on before TV's "second golden age" and it was even more common for shows with low ratings to just be left hanging there, without answers or a proper finish, just with the cancellation upon them. This episode is truly great, concerning the unexpected involvement of Jack Kane, and also the last interaction between Veronica and Logan, that proves LoVe was surely gonna return in a future season, as Piz was kind of a side note/nice sweet rebound in the last few episodes, not really a relationship that would trump one with a character that was on every episode since day 1. But, as satisfying as this episode is, it isn't a series finale, it's a season finale, it shows in the way it is constructed, it shows in all of its loose ends, it shows because a lot of things happen in the last 10 minutes, but never enough regarding what needed to happen with the characters, like with Keith mar's future, for instance, that was just left a mystery. (because it would be a theme for the 4th season). This secret society was interesting, and there was so much to know about it, like that crime with the bodies in the shed and so much more....
Even if I'm watching this 10 years after it aired, it's still horrible to see that such an inventive show, especially for 2004, was just canceled like that. I'm glad the movie existed so many years later for some closure. Gonna watch it now.
