Veronica Mars

Wallace dumped whatsherface, right? I already forget.

ok, i don't really follow this show, clearly, but i like it, and i'd like someone to explain how veronica is so out of it.. i.e. the psychic show - "everyone at neptune high watches it!" - but veronica's unaware of its existence??

The whole thing was a set up from Jackie, but it didn't seem well planned if the whole point was to let the world know that Veronica used breast cream, that was something that Veronica told her quite late on. It seems a bit weird to plan something so meticulously yet have the whole thing rely on a piece of embarrassing information that you may never get. It wasn't brilliantly written.

xpost No it wasn't, I'm starting to think she wasn't actually in on it, as there would be no point in trying to amaze Veronica with knowledge about Lily as she'd know Veronica would work out it was a set up by the end. Maybe Jackie claimed she had known Lily and Lily had told her about the cream, as it was "Lily" who mentioned the cream when the psychic talked to Veronica.

The intricacies of the weekly mystery never seem to fit together perfectly, but they're usually not so noticeable (as in this week, I get the point even if it's not completely sensible).

It did seem weird that all of Neptune watches this show, though. Logan and Duncan stop what they're doing to watch a cable-access psychic show? And I know Veronica's not part of the "in" crowd, but she is dating Duncan, you'd think she'd know about it.

But maybe he can explain the ending of last night's show to me.

snail darter, a small, rare fish, Percina tanasi, discovered by a zoologist who was snorkeling in the Little Tennessee River upstream from the projected Tellico Dam. Dam opponents, including Native American tribes who would see their burial grounds flooded, fought successfully to include the darter on the Endangered Species List in 1975 (see endangered species), and the dam was halted. In 1978, the Supreme Court sided with environmentalists, but Congress declared the fish nonendangered and the Tellico was built. Snail darters are classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Osteichthyes, order Percomorphi, family Percidae.

Best Veronica Mars in ages, btw, maybe ever?

Steve Guttenberg is still terrible, but I imagine the fight over his new richie-city vs. poor-county plan is going to be entertaining. Will Keith bite the hand that fed him, or will he sign on to police the city?

does anybody else think it's weird that veronica is basically dating an asshole, who we are asked to root for no less?

He is! He really scares me.

Tessa is/was a terrible actress.

I wish they'd stop saying ibeeza

p.s. Who gives a shit about Lost? My problem with the Wednesday 9 p.m. timeslot is that it falls at the same time as MythBusters!

Alternate ending of the last episode.

I'm willing to bet the kid isn't Duncan's - it's too easy, the parallels between Duncan/Veronica and Jake/Lianne and everything. They're setting it up so that Duncan looks like a dick, but comes out clean in the end.
