elizalavelleTWoP does Veronica Mars: Cheatty Cheatty Bang Bang
Aaaaah. Muuuuuch better.
so we're all agreed then, this episode was more like the VM eps we know and love (although I still loved the first two lol)
VMVO, however, says it looks like the rich get richer, while everyone else hopes for scholarships. And here I was hoping the fortune cookie Duncan gave her said, "You will not have to pay a dime for college." She did look awfully happy!
hmm there's a point, with either Logan or Duncan (whomever she's with later this season) you'd think maybe she could get a low interest loan or something for school.... although that could be awkward... but still.. hmmm *ponders*
Veronica goes on to say that she's curious about what her dad said about Lamb hauling her in, but Lamb informs her that no notice was required: "You're eighteen now. Kiddo. You're an adult." Veronica: "Well, that makes one of us." Original? No. Obligatory and entertaining? Hell yes.
this whole scene was just entertaining. I want more Veronica and Lamb... although some people want a whole LOT more V/Lamb action... I'm not sure how that sits with me yet...
Lamb slides a folder across the table to Veronica and asks what she can tell him about her relationship with the man documented therein. It's the dead dude from last episode, of course, who's named "David 'Curly' Moran." Veronica, not recognizing him from his mug shot, says that one summer, "he was a roadie for Whitesnake; [she] was singing backup for Boyz II Men. He said it would never work." Well, I'd have to agree. Can you imagine the song "Here I Go Again On Bended Knee"?
bwahahaha now I can!
But Alicia recovers to accept, and kisses Keith. Veronica chooses that moment to arrive home, and expresses the expected level of disgust at the parent mackage. Although given all the PDA she's been engaging in with Duncan, she might want to hold her tongue.
for serious, making out in school = yuck no one wants to see that, especially not in the classroom!
Veronica turns her attention to Curly, who used to be a stuntman until he "crashed his career" in the '80s: "Just remember, kids, crystal meth and precision driving don't mix."
as someone has already commented elsewhere, that would make an awesome tshirt slogan.
VMVO -- which was not strictly necessary through the whole part about Curly since all the information was visible on Veronica's computer screen -- crosses squarely into "N" territory as it rambles on asking questions about Curly anyone with a cerebrum couldn't help having wondered about already. I hope it's worth paying Kristen Bell overtime pay for all her ADR work just to catch the people driving well below the minimum speed up. the network needs to trust the fans, most of them seem pretty swift, and if you miss something you know it's going to be recapped and rehashed online for weeks, no worries. Perhaps this is why RT and the staff love keeping tons of subtle symbolism in the show... that's what the fans can pick up on while the VO's are rambling on.VMVO then wonders, "Did I get really drunk at a biker bar?" Probably. I mean, you left Backup somewhere, right? I miss Backup, where is he? I also now want to name a dog Backup.
Keith enters (without knocking, like HELLO)
I'd have freaked out about that as a teenager.... actually I did freak out about that. Which is why my family stays the hell out of my room now lol.
Veronica, in a dishy voice, asks if Keith is taking Alicia to Chicago to propose to her now that the divorce from Lianne is going through. Keith starts to ask if he can't "just take his special lady friend on a romantic..." Veronica: "No." Hee. I have to add a "hee" for "special lady friend" oh Keith, I love you. Although she's enjoying giving her dad a little shit, she seems to me to be fine with this, but again, it's open to interpretation. Keith says that as soon as he and Alicia know what the next step is, he'll tell her. Veronica accepts that, and says she has something to admit. She opens her laptop, and on the desktop is a bunch of drawn unicorns. Keith stares blankly. Veronica, over-earnestly: "What, Dad? Girls are crazy about unicorns!" Keith's face: "Yeah, except for the 'about unicorns' part." UNICORNS!
Wallace calls over Jackie, whom VMVO describes as the "hot, bitchy transfer from New York." see, no VMVO needed, if you watch the show you get it, if not you'll catch up.
Jackie complains that even one page of this "pre-Victorian crap" puts her to sleep, and I hope her acting continues to improve, because sentiments like that are doing her no favors on the boards. SERIOUSLY! Jane Austen isn't for everyone. But those who love it love it hard. Now the only redeeming part of Jackie's bitching here was that she did reccomend other good books so it's just JA that she's having problems with, not all good literature.
Later -- presumably after Beaver's carried out her request -- Veronica takes a screwdriver to the Shuffle. Careful, Veronica. You don't want to have to make a service call to Apple. Even an 09er would flinch at that expense. gawd ipods are always breaking (so say the people I know who have one, I don't think you'd want to take any type of tool to one EVER.
Veronica and Duncan, holding hands, enter FBLA as VMVO tells us she's the "key witness" in Haaron's murder trial. Man, they could have done a whole season just on coverage of that. I hope we get a little bit of trial at least! Also, bring back Aaron for an ep, he's scary but so good!
The bald man from the first scene is apparently going to be the regular teacher, and he enthusiastically greets the class by saying that they're worth a million dollars. Logan: "What? You mean I've lost money? Heads will roll." Heh. wonderful Logan
Pope says the restoration's been tricky, and that the hull had to be resealed twice. Logan: "Didn't plug her right the first time, huh?" He turns to stare at Veronica, although the shot's blocked so we don't see her reaction. Some people on the boards thought he was referring to the roofie sex, but that seems exceedingly unlikely to me. This comment seems like a natural addendum to his remark in the last episode about the cuddling being the best part. Anyway, regardless of how he meant it, Duncan cottons on that it's derogatory, and tackles Logan. Nice! I wasn't expecting that. that's because it was interesting and Duncan rarely does interesting... unless he's being violent lolThe fight continues into the hallway, where they slam up against some lockers, and then fall to the floor. Well, no one said rich boys fighting is worth Pay-Per-View. well... if they got naked.....
re: the scene in the nurses office I just want to note how on that scene was. It brings a complexity to the triangle that we haven't seen so far, since this is really the first interaction Duncan and Logan have had since Logan and Veronica hooked up. Also, each of them knows the other one has a point here, although Duncan in particular is loath to admit it. It seems in character to me that Logan is the one who broke first and approached Duncan. And as an encouraging side note, Teddy Dunn was really good in that scene. More Duncan and Logan scenes, please, as long as they don't kill each other. ITA
Veronica finds Dick at his locker and asks him where Beaver is. Dick tells her that Beaver didn't come to school and, upon further questioning, reveals that Logan didn't either. He adds, "I thought it was just a coincidence, but now that I think about it..." He puts on a mock-scared face and bites his hand. he also is wearing an awesome shirt that says "I have candy" I heart it. Veronica makes an exasperated face and pulls out her Sidekick to make a call, but is interrupted by Wallace, Jackie on his arm, asking if they're on for watching the second half of Pride and Prejudice the next night. Jackie tries to make a joke, and Veronica asks if she isn't "busy." Nice to know that even when she's in the middle of single-handedly taking down a company and destroying a sham of a marriage, Veronica's not too busy to call this breathy bitch on her shit. Veronica can multi task like woah. This is why I love the show... also through tv and then the recap I've learned a hell of a lot about investing in hotels lol
Veronica steps into the overturned-looking room to the sound of the shower running, but the noise quickly subsides, and Logan emerges from the bathroom dressed only in a towel. Jackie heaves a sigh of relief, as the towel quickly tops her on the "Most Hated Thing About Veronica Mars" internet poll. well people do hate the towel but only because it's on Logan lol, but then again people hate Jackie because she's on her show.... Oh Jackie, get better, or more complicated or something fast.
Veronica asks if his girlfriend is there and, upon further questioning, bites out that she's talking about Charisma. Logan: "That one is less a girlfriend and more a playmate." Yeah, I think we can all agree on the extreme validity of that statement. Veronica -- trying hard to pretend she doesn't care and yet, due to the deep talent of Kristen Bell, subtly yet clearly failing -- give this girl an Emmy! and more movies. asks what he would have done if she were Big Dick. I'm guessing comparing notes would be the wrong answer. hee
LOVE LOVE LOVE this show
