It kinda infuriates me that the most interesting stuff this season -- Veronica's prickly behavior -- was ultimately supposed to be seen as a strength and not a weakness. I can't believe they weren't leading up to her growth as a character -- and I can NOT believe they think that tragedy porn passes for character development. She was an asshole who searched Logan's bag when he got home from work trips, bugged her friend, treated Wallace and the things important to him like shit, etc. And, in the end, the world told her to get even tougher and meaner and to keep her distance. Her best friend was murdered as a teen and THEN SO WAS HER HUSBAND on their wedding day. I mean, that's nuts. That would drive a person crazy. But instead it drove her away to go off on her own and be snarky to strangers and solve one-off mysteries where she never gets too attached and doesn't call on her network of people to help (she couldn't have pulled off half the shit she did in high school without Wallace but now she's good alone, I guess).
This is so outer limits, I am truly can't process what Rob was thinking other than "Kristen is rich and famous, so if I can just work with her in a one-off way that's all that matters...."?
And none of that even touches on what a shitty send-off that was for a major character. He literally died running an errand after the mystery was solved and the murdered was in jail. Couldn't be more senseless and also pointless. He may as well have been hit by a car on his way across the street.
I'm never gonna be over this. This is GG series finale territory to me.
