great! at least season 3 is somewhat completed. i thought each season of VM revolves around the big mystery. if they'll remove that, then how would they make a big season finale
I've read somewhere that they are canning the season long mystery to attract new viewers. They are going to have three separate story archs for this current season. So the rape was the 1st one, the Dean O'Dell mystery is probably the second story arch.
I think it is a great idea. There 's still goign to be a big case/mystery but it wouldn't be stretched out for an entire season. With this new 3 arch per season, we can experience the greatness that is this winter finale three times.
With regard to the latest episode, I think it is the best finale (well neck and neck with Season 1 finale) yet in terms of suspense and in terms of how the mystery was unraveled. The big revelation was great and you can go back and rewatch the previous episodes and it totally makes sense
------- S P O I L E R --------------E.g.
- Moe and Mercer used to be partipants in the sociology experiment. Moe earlier in the season said it changed his life. Basically Moe became Mercer's bitch even after the experiemnt. We can assume Moe was one of the prisoners and Mercer was one of the guards
- Mercer's alibi panned out becasue some of the members of the femininst group faked being rape.
I just love this current season, definitely much better than Season 2. The rape mystery was much more compelling and interesting than the bus crash.
Now I am still clueless at the Fitzpatrick mystery. I still don't know what the hell that storyline was about!
