Veronica Mars: Not Pictured (2006)
Season 2, Episode 22
I would have loved this episode if I was a total moron

I would have loved this episode if I was a total moron but the problem is I am not a total moron so I ended up hating it. How does this absolute moronic nonsense get a 8.9 rating?

For 22 episodes Veronica and her dad are trying to solve the crime of who blew up a bus and every episode they blame a different person. Each time they are so sure that they got the guy and each time they are 100% sure.

At the end they come up with the most moronic explanation out of nowhere which not only doesn't make any sense but also doesn't fit the narrative they told at all and doesn't fit any of the evidence they've showed in 22 episodes at all, yet people love it because who cares about common sense and logic? All of a sudden they decide who the killer is, push an extremely rushed narrative that doesn't fit anything just to force it down people's throats to appear smart while appearing nothing but idiotic.

I understand they wanted to have a "plot twist" to keep things interesting but this wasn't a plot twist. This was just a moronic effort that made literally as much sense as a looney tunes cartoon. We are made to believe that a 16 year old kid made the most incredibly complicated plan ever and executed everything absolutely flawlessly and he would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for Veronica Mars' godlike imagination where she simply has a "vision" in her head and solves everything without needing any evidence.

Sometimes I wish I was an idiot so I could enjoy moronic stuff like this but too bad I am not.
