While he was just another 09er in S1, we got to know Beaver better in S2. I must admit that at first I did not care too much for Beaver. He was just a dorky kid that got picked on by his older brother and ignored by his father. The pairing of him and Mac helped me to come to love him. In "Ain't no Magic Mountain High Enough" he stood up to Dick and got payback by hiring a he/she hooker. Yes he was a sociopath with sexual, and mental issues but I can't help but feel upset that he is gone.
I am upset by the fact that he raped Veronica but I can't bring myself to be angry with him and I can't bring myself to blame him. On top of having a father who neglects you, ignores you and treats your older brother like a king, said older brother teases you constanstly, and then you get molested by your coach. He never told anyone about what happened so he never got help for it, which was needed. He has been carrying this burden around for years.
Again I says kudos to Kyle Gallner for a great perfromance. He made me forget about the fact that Beaver was the culprit and instead made me believe that he was a victim. On the roof when Logan was talking Veronica out of shooting Beaver, he had the saddest look on his face. Like he wished he had someone to care for him. I know it's been said but the delivery of the line, "My name is Cassidy." was on point. He was so upset and sick and tired of being called Beaver. He killed all those people on the bus, made his father flee the country, raped Veronica and they can't even call him by his real name.
I just really loved Beaver's character and I am reallly, really going to miss him. A part of me loved evil Cassidy even more and a part of me wishes that he wasn't the culprit. It makes me a little sad. I didn't realize how much i liked Cassidy until last night and I still can't be angry with him for his actions.
Now I will take a moment of silence to mourn the loss of Cassidy...
