The D.F.

That would be The Dan Fienberg, whose post on last night's "O.C." says pretty much everything I intended to say, and probably in a funnier manner.

I'll be out of the loop until at least Sunday night. Having just watched the last two "Veronica Mars"es back to back, I'm almost afraid to comment on episode 21 until show 22 airs. But anyone who wants to comment on the penultimate chapter, feel free to discuss it here (do "O.C." discussion at Dan's site), and I'll do some more detailed analysis of the finale on Wednesday morning.
