Season ranking: #12 (of 12)

Notes:
some posters opined this was the worst episode of the series. According to

ANIM8Rfsk...

ooo, oo, me, me!

I decided after this mess it was time to watch Veronica Mars live and tape
Lost. Now I'm not watching VM at all any more. :\

Ian J. Ball...

You mean, "Now I'm not watching [Lost] at all any more."?...

According to

your poll responses to date, they would be right. F+W is the lowest-rated of
the 36 episodes. It is only one of two episodes with a score below 3.0. (The
other was S2's 'Abandoned'.) And F-W is the only one below 2.5.

In itself, it was a poor episode. However, I believe as others that it
was a significant set-up for future events.

Unfortunately, if this level of Q, Q, Q, Q, Q, 1/2A continue, the
ratings will prevail, the show will be cancelled and TBTB will never
tell the story as they have envisoned.

Steven L....

This episode was the third Charlie-centric episode. And the other two,
from Season 1, didn't score that well either:

The Moth: 3.70
Homecoming: 3.20
Average for all 3 episodes: 3.11

I don't think that's a coincidence. The Charlie character, or at least
his backstory, is just not a favorite of the viewing audience. The
comments about him on this NG bear this out.
