elizalavelleTWoP does Veronica Mars "One Angry Veronica"
So Duncan supposedly only found out about the pregnancy via the letter? Then why did he react so badly when Veronica asked him about the frequent hospital visits, and what made him go looking for the letter in the first place? Yeah, I'll keep questioning Duncan's actions and motivations until he becomes consistent or I end up in an institution. I'm still hoping for the former, but if it's the latter, I hope at least they don't serve donuts for breakfast.
I think it's Duncan's Zombie-state inducing drugs. Also he's a (to borrow from Buffy) "Thundering Loony!" so yeah he wont make sense becuase he's crazy.
and a wider shot reveals that Lamb is indeed benching -- and, what's more, is doing so in a black tank top. I guess the old saw "Post and ye shall receive" has some truth to it after all.
only when your writers rock and actually read TWoP
Veronica is apologizing to her jury, although I don't know why, since she didn't cast the "guilty" vote. But it's not like it's the first apology of Veronica's I haven't understood this season.
I miss season one snarky Veronica... but in saying that I feel like Season 2 Seth from the O.C. so now I'll shut up.
Leo says that good celebrity porn is scarce these days, and it's nice to know that writers are still just as willing to take shots at Paris Hilton as I am.
lol she should have been better when she guested on this show last year. That'll teach her to be herself.
No, it's Veronica's computer, which has a red ribbon tied around it. Keith, I think you got a little confused on the concept of regifting. But no, turns out he had the hard drive and processor replaced, and Mac promised him that it's all totally state-of-the-art. Good thing Mac likes Veronica, because I could see her putting in a few unpleasant surprises if she didn't. I wouldn't even attempt to debug a Mac-created virus.
lol that's true. Actually I'd be wary of letting anyone into my computer. This bugged me in the episode. Veronica has all kinds of private stuff on her computer but she didn't mind her dad and Mac poking around in it....
Hey, it's Lilly! But only for a second: we're watching the same snippet of the sex tape we saw in the season finale, so Haaron rolls into the frame. It's not really nice of the show to remind me how desperately I miss Amanda Seyfried, you know.
I want more flashbacks!
The African-American woman approaches Veronica and, after telling her how impressed she is with her, suggests that she'd fit right in at "Hearst," which is apparently a local university. Well, we knew this had to happen at some point, and I will give credit to the show for getting it over with and at least trying to make it seem more organic than some other shows (let's all turn to SOAPnet and wave at 90210)!
lol I miss 90210, why don't we get it in Canada. I was so amused at seeing an episode while I was in NYC.... anyways. Kudos to VM for at least trying to make it realistic for Veronica to stay.
Cut to the exterior of a diner, where Veronica discovers that "MUCHAS GRACIAS, BITCH!" is written on her windshield. Well, I guess we know what language Madison Sinclair is taking in college. VMVO speculates that now she's right back where she was a year ago, socially speaking. Well, except for the fact that you're still going out with Duncan. But if that's foreshadowing, it's among the most fragrant I've ever smelled.
*happy dance* at the thought of no more Veronica/Duncan!
...and then the ball is dropping as Veronica and Wallace sit on the couch with his arm around her. VMVO says she's a sucker, but that she'll give the New Year thing one last chance. So will I, but not until January 18th.
so many reruns!
But since we're about to take a break, it seems like a good time for some parting thoughts. There's been a lot of talk on the boards about how Veronica is being written differently this year. I understand that position, but I think it's only normal that she be different. She went through a series of traumas at the end of last season, and it's reasonable to think that they would have a profound effect on her, just the way Lilly's death did. It doesn't particularly bother me that she's, at least temporarily, not actively choosing to be an outsider. The problem, though, is that the season mysteries haven't engaged her. She almost died, she knew at least one person on the bus, and she thought the crash was meant for her. She and her very protective father both have reason to think her safety is at risk, and yet the effect of the last ten episodes is to make it seem like they've been sitting on their asses. I'm sure that's not how it's been meant to come across, but that's how it seems to me. I mean, Veronica came across the recording of the bus crash completely by happenstance and, as I complained once before, she never even took the time to learn who was on the bus. Why hasn't she interviewed the victims' friends? Their parents? Why can't she get that damn whiteboard out and really try to figure out what's going on? The answer, at least as depicted onscreen, is that she could, but she doesn't care enough (here's where I'm missing Amanda Seyfried again). And ten episodes in, that just feels wrong. Veronica didn't even ask Meg about the crash before she died! It's easy to put the blame on Veronica's maddeningly complacent and incomprehensible relationship with Duncan -- and I do, partially -- but if the season mysteries (I won't even get into the Logan one) aren't enough to make her sit up and take notice almost halfway through the season, they're not working. So what I'm saying is, Veronica: get the frickin' lead out and start caring.
And also: Happy Holidays!
amen to all of that!
