Although I liked the actor who played Troy, I think that some of the problem arose from his performance. By that I mean that he needed to convey some dark undercurrent right from the beginning that would have suggested this possible outcome. Even if we had only recognized that element in retrospect, it would have helped us accept this development more easily.

Having said that, I think more of the responsibility lies with the writers. I had anticipated that Troy would get severe peer pressure from the In Crowd to dump Veronica, and that he might very well succumb to it. For me, that would have been a more interesting and credible way for the relationship to end, if indeed it had to end.

If we could edit the episode so that it ended with Troy getting in the cab to go to military school, it would have been a much more satisfying episode. As it is, it's the only one so far that's left me feeling less than elated at its conclusion. And, as Pouncer said, other than this one glitch there was a lot I liked. I'll keep my fingers crossed that this was a single mistake, not a trend.
