I don't think these spoilers for 19 are so bad. Yes, Veronica will be with Piz and probably all schmoopy and ugh. But this is VERY consistent with how Rob Thomas operates. We know now that Piz is not what he seems and that this will come out by the end of the episode. Therefore the schmoop is once again about setting the stage for the rug being pulled out from under Veronica's relationship. Yes, it's a relationship we already can't stand. But it's doomed, folks. DOOMED.

I expect that Logan and Veronica will have an uncomfortable sort of friendship with oodles of subtext and hints of jealousy on both sides through the last episodes. I also expect that we'll see some signs of their connection in 20 but not a full fledged "we're back together and we're so happy" moment. Neither will be ready.

But remember. Piz is DOOMED. Something about him is NOT WHAT IT SEEMS. RT is building up cute and sweet so he can once again show how not-cute and not-sweet it really is. Which leaves our reliable Logan. With him, what you see is what you get. He is complicated and intense and not easy, but he's very much still in Veronica's life, from the sound of things. In other words, he is not DOOMED. He is not a short term thing for Veronica.

If the show doesn't get picked up for a fourth season, then I think I'll be happy with Logan and Veronica acknowledging in some fashion what's there between them. And, with this spoiler on the table, I'd be surprised if that doesn't happen. By the end of 20, if not sooner, Veronica will be single. And will probably realize (in whatever fashion RT decides to show it) that sweet airhead Piz was not trustworthy and easy after all. And Logan is trustworthy if not easy.

Just saying. From my perspective, this spoiler makes things better for our ship, not worse. Realistically, things with Piz were going to drag out till the last minute, because that way the twist is more twisty. And RT does love him some twisty twists. So this all makes sense, especially in light of the fact that he thinks he's probably getting a Season Four (and it sounds like he may, shockingly, have some reason to believe this).

I feel far less worried now than I did before today's spoilers came out. Honest.

bluelunagirl, we do know a bit more. We know that things look better for L/V by the end of that episode than they do right now. And that moku613 also said,

if I were a betting woman, (which I'm not but bear with me) by the end of 19, hope will spring eternal.

Those are both very promising statements to me.

Also, think about this show. Its history. The way Rob Thomas thinks. This secret Piz carries is something that will be hard for Veronica to take and will veryveryvery (very) likely mean the end of Piz/V. It's the only thing that's consistent with the way the man writes. I'm guessing -- but it's a wild guess here -- that it factors into the story in #20.

Look, I understand fretting about our ship. But though I don't have confidence in RT to make the characterizations as deep or real as I think they should be, or to follow up on arcs, or for a whole host of other writing issues, I do have confidence that he intends to pull a fast one re. Piz and that he does NOT intend to drop the L/V ball in the long run. And I think we can work ourselves into a tizzy about it or we can bitch about certain elements (I too am not crazy about how KB seems to dote on everyone BUT JD) but feel relatively solid in the outcome, whether blatantly shown or strongly suggested. To me, RT has never shown any other intent than L/V being his ship of choice. He just likes to make things difficult in the meantime.
