So agree with you on the obviousness of Aaron. I actually found him to be a creepily compelling character and thought that he added quite a bit to the canvas and I don't really buy logically the progression that the show tried to sell as to his motivation. At least, not based on the insights that had been given regarding his character over the season. Perhaps my expectations were too high going. Previous episodes were often so clever, that I thought this one would be as well. The conclusion, though it was certainly action-packed, still felt anticlimatic. This is not to say that I found it to be an awful episode, just not great.
As for Logan, perhaps this is my previous fandom disillusionment coloring my expectations, but I'm just not that optimistic about his future. Even at the depths of Veronica's isolation and ostracism she still had a very supportive parent. Logan has been left with nothing and no one. That's a very difficult spot to rebound from and he has absolutely no incentive to rebound. I've seen posts about how the message on Logan's cell phone was foreshadowing of his character arc to come, but I read it more as sad irony. A friend and I were IM'ing after the finale and spun an entire arc for next season based on Veronica trying to discover what happened to Logan with visions of Logan taking the place of visions of Lilly. Here's hoping that won't come to fruition.
