I don't think that solves a problem with the story that existed the moment Annie drove off - for a year she thought she was a killer and she was more concerned with not getting caught than doing "the right thing." <br /><br />Basically, the writers presented the character of Annie with a moral test and she failed big time. There's nothing in Annie's behavior during that year-long storyline that can be considered admirable, and even if they'd absolved her after the fact, it doesn't erase that. I think that would have been a dangerous route to go with any major character on your show, let alone the one who's ostensibly supposed to be the lead.<br /><br />Plus, there's the fact that making Annie think she's a killer for a whole year only to let her off the hook in the end might have felt cheap and pointless. Though I'll concede the point that had someone else been revealed as the killer, they'd have at least side-stepped the ludicrous legal elements.<br /><br />I'd love to know what went down with Ryan O'Neal's firing. He appeared in the finale last year, which was supposed to be the episode with the reveal. I wonder if that scene was actually shot and discarded, or if it was merely rewritten during production.The Bitter Script Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16575166527272639709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-24727684797002373492011-03-21T00:38:04.606-07:002011-03-21T00:38:04.606-07:00@Husky Boy: Annie's season 2 arc was supposed ...@Husky Boy: Annie's season 2 arc was supposed to end with the revelation of Teddy's dad who already killed the guy long before the poor girl passed by Mullholland (or whatever the name of the palce is). Teddy's father issues was supposed to connect with Annie's in the finale but I've read from several articles that Ryan O'Neal (who played Teddy's father) was fired/quit the show/among other reasons so the ending had to be reworked and cutting off the originally intended resolution of the storyline from the final episode of Season 2.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04264405981314079243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-32518835686967757882011-03-18T23:24:22.403-07:002011-03-18T23:24:22.403-07:00This is good news for my "move to America and...This is good news for my "move to America and run people over" plan.<br /><br />Wait, I'm too old.

If he did the research and that's what came back, well... that's what the show works with, so I can't slam the show for that.<br /><br />I'm surprised you didn't address the fact that such a light punishment means there aren't any stakes to the story. It sounds like the whole point of the plot was to establish the threat of discovery. You know - what happens when Annie gets caught. If they spent a year building up to that only to say "PSYCH! She gets community service!" then the story just fails on account of anticlimax.<br /><br />So accurate or not, the plot then becomes a waste of screentime. Did they really stretch that out an entire year?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12863854678289883890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-27589053304345742022011-03-18T17:41:21.334-07:002011-03-18T17:41:21.334-07:00Wow, could they be any snarkier?
