Hey fellow 'Christine could have done it' theorist! Also, thinking more on that, didn't Gamby mention in the first ep of the season that the shooter made sure not to hit anything vital. Since she's shown in scrubs a lot (I'm not sure if it's ever said specifically what her specialty as a doctor is) she'd obviously have knowledge of anatomy. :aaa:

Yeah my two big candidates right now are Abbott and Christine. Lee’s too obvious, and the reveal at the end of last night’s episode reeked of bait and switch. The only way Lee did it is if the show pulls some weird ‘nah Lee didn’t do it it was X!’ And then at the very end he reveals it was him after all. But that’s dumb.

I was disappointed that Snodgrass's book was genuinely terrible because I can't stand insufferable people who use the word "prose" like that.

But alas, sometimes it's actually warranted.

Yeah having dated a girl who envisions herself as a novelist but writes really crappy fantasy in the past, and another friend who writes crappy YA sci-fi, this joke hit a little close to home in a good way. I think the fact she was writing a ‘YA novel’ was a big setup for that scene in retrospect.

I think it’s ok though. Shows Snodgrass is just a regular joe like the rest of them. Maybe it’s depressing in a way but it puts her back on Gamby’s level.

e: my one critique for this episode is that I wish they did more with the red head who was in awe of Snodgrass’ boyfriend. Was expecting him to cheat on Snodgrass with her, but all she did was show up at the reading. I guess the set up was showing how easy it is for him to get younger women because of his stature, so my issue isn’t really a big one.

I just realized that the part of Chapter 68 we got to hear included what sounded like the kind of introductory exposition that you'd expect a bad author to put in Chapter 1. Which begs the question... what on Earth fills up chapters 1 - 67?

Introductions to the other 50 main characters. Their stories converge around chapter 400.
"It's derivative of every single YA novel, ever written." is a pretty crushing review, so I figure it's a confusing mess, with time travel dragons and amnesia vampires.

Watching it I took it as definitely Lee but Abbott framing him does make some sense seeing as she was hanging out at the beach house when everyone else was gone.

Also, was anyone else expecting Lee to have sex with Deb?

I think it's almost definitely Abbott, or possibly Ray. In the beginning of the episode, Lee's just "won" the Jeep in the divorce, and he's talking about it like it's new -- he's not going to have the murder weapon sitting in the trunk. Abbott is crazy enough to have done it, and she was definitely pissed about Lee getting to go to the beach with Gamby. The only issue is that from the S1 finale, it looked like a guy bigger than Gamby was doing the shooting, and I don't think it could have been Abbott herself. The only other person that could have planted the stuff was Ray, though...

I don't know, they've minimized Ray's role so much this season that it would feel kind of weird if it was revealed to be him.

Kind of funny how Gamby was completely right about Fisher Steven's character only pushing for Snodgrass's book to be published because he wanted to gently caress her. Man, he really showed his true colors this week, openly flirting with the receptionist and being such a pretentious rear end at the dinner.

Mee-Cha just shot at the first person her old shriveled eyes could see approaching the PRINCIPAL parking space(s).

Who had the motive, opportunity, and means to murder LEE?

I'd accept Mi-Cha as the shooter as long as she keeps shouting 'beach boy!' at Lee as she's loaded into the cop car.

I think it shows just how strong this show is that for whichever character is suggested as the shooter, you can easily go 'huh, yeah, that's actually a possibility'.

Heck, for all we know, Ray could have ditched the costume in the back of the jeep when he was helping load bags and everyone was focused on Abbott throw cookies at Gamby. Though, I can only imagine his motive would have just been a weird way of trying to get Gamby to like him by helping with his recovery :unsmith:.

Seriously, the only ones we can really count out for sure are Snodgrass, the teacher in the wheelchair, and (I want to hope him 'finding' Gamby after the shooting wasn't a swerve) Dayshaun.

I just binged all of season 2 that’s out so far and it’s completely obvious that the shooter is the dark haired teacher Gamby is banging and just dumped. She cut her hair at the beginning of the season, is tall, psycho, and put that poo poo in Lees car just at the end of the last episode

Ms Abbott is going to go loving crazy next week and this will blow up spectacularly.

I hope that Gamby pushing Russell away comes to bite him in the rear end too.

Definitely didn't do it. Wouldn't be a good series finale if the big reveal was done with 2 full episodes left and everything was resolved with 1 left. Question now is just if it really was Abbott, which I've leaned on since the car revelation but seems too obvious, especially with that end stinger this episode.

I'm still on the 'it was Abbott' bandwagon. I think they did a good job of keeping it covered and used the past 2 episodes to open the curtains, so to speak. If not her, I don't know who else it'd be. The drama teacher maybe? There's no way it's Lee, though, he's so broken I feel like he would have confessed.

That line stuck out. Could easily be nothing, but maybe Gale, Abbot, and Ray were all in on it. :tinfoil:

The music in the past few episodes has been amazing.

Still think it’s Abbott after thinking back on the episode, although I was second guessing thinking Russell was innocent while watching. He never directly denies being the shooter, but also never admits it either. That’s not any kind of closure at all.
