By the lesser standards of this season, not a bad episode. Mac's roomie was better than usual, the mystery played out well (but when did Veronica become the worst detective ever? "Hi, I'm new to the group, let's go bomb shit. No I am not at all a narc!"), Mac was awesome. Even the Piz wasn't horrible for five minutes. Then you get Logan back together again, ech.

No matter how bad it gets, I'll keep watching for "tell me he plays the piano."

The only way to salvage this and any future seasons is to kill the Logan-Veronica relationship.

There seems to be a lot of the "First, Veronica has to make the wrong assumptions about people and end up looking like an idiot when she offends everybody" going on.

more cliff, please

OTM. Also, more Vinnie Van Lowe.

I'm bummed too. FIRST OF ALL -- they shouldn't have killed off Aaron Echolls. It would have been much more interesting with him hanging around bein creepy. OR -- what happened to Logan's mom? I miss that creepy pair. SECOND -- WHERE IS WALLACE???? I don't care about Logan & Veronica anymore, they are only interesting when they hate each other. At least the funny/witty dialogue is still around, BUT YEAH ... WHERE IS THE QUALITY MYSTERY? ugh.

Logan's mom jumped off a bridge (or "jumped").

― milo z (mlp), Monday, 29 January 2007 03:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Or that could have been staged, but you have to figure they would play the 'come out of hiding' card right after Aaron got popped if that was the story.

― milo z (mlp), Monday, 29 January 2007 03:56 (seventeen years ago) link

well they made it seem like she MAY OR MAY NOT be dead and I thought FOR SURE she would come back. I guess they are both too busy dancin with the stars. Or dancin with dancers since they are the stars...I guess.

― gunther heartymeal (keckles), Monday, 29 January 2007 04:00 (seventeen years ago) link

this might have been mentioned upthread, but the reason each episode only features a subset of the entire cast is because they can't afford to pay all of them. so you get a mac episode, then a wallace one, and so on.

total snoozer this week - but hey, cute hooker.

― milo z (mlp), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 22:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Really? I thought this was a good episode. But then I think this show is pretty much always good.

― The Yellow Kid (The Yellow Kid), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 23:15 (seventeen years ago) link

I liked it more than last week's. The Logan/Veronica stuff actually seemed pretty well-done, despite the constant threat of falling into painful soap opera. The A-plot was fun, even though Veronica did some incredibly stupid things (blackmailing a judge, getting in scary limo). Still, Wallace and Cliff better show up soon, and they need to stop wasting Weevil's appearances.

The Dave Gibbons book Dorkus was talking about was The Originals, right?

THAT IS REALLY VERY DISTURBING, TRACER HAND!

I haven't seen this episode yet.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Thursday, 1 February 2007 18:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Disturbing in the YEAH, AWESOME sense of the word.

whateva, that is not my image of V Mars!

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Thursday, 1 February 2007 18:21 (seventeen years ago) link

That's why it's awesome! I'm out of my comfort zone! Something is happening in my pajamas!

― do i have to draw you a diaphragm (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 1 February 2007 18:24 (seventeen years ago) link

that pelvic thrust thing was SUPER CRINGE-WORTHY this week.

― be home by 11 (orion), Thursday, 1 February 2007 18:34 (seventeen years ago) link

I had a strong but undefinable reaction to her Barenaked Ladies rock-out a couple weeks back. Like a whole jumble of embarrassment / repulsion / attraction / amazement / horror / desire / etc.

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 1 February 2007 18:39 (seventeen years ago) link

okay, but Kristen Bell is lovely and amazing. this shit is not her fault. fucking CW.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Thursday, 1 February 2007 18:40 (seventeen years ago) link

I think it was hilarious, and I'm a little frightened ONCE AGAIN at how bad everyone needs that character to stay in high school.

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Thursday, 1 February 2007 18:41 (seventeen years ago) link

haha xpost

I mean, Bell can make a whole lot of stuff seem convincingly awesome, but then there are certain things that are just ... and then she hits them so valiantly and confidently anyway.

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 1 February 2007 18:41 (seventeen years ago) link

In any other actress's hands Veronica Mars would probably be completely insufferable! She's, umm, particularly good at being punchably smug / clever / quippy in a way that does not inspire punching impulses -- like, quite the opposite.

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 1 February 2007 18:43 (seventeen years ago) link

(okay, Haikunym I am fine with Veronica as a sexual being! remember during the second season when the fact that she had bought some boob-size-increasing serum came out, and she answered her phone "Chesty LaRue"? that was awesome. I miss her wry take on the sex stuff, I guess. also I have not seen this episode so maybe in context the pelvic thrust is not horribly embarrassing, but I have my doubts.) high school is a better setting for this kind of show, though. that's just science.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Thursday, 1 February 2007 18:46 (seventeen years ago) link

your science, my fiction

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Thursday, 1 February 2007 18:48 (seventeen years ago) link

what was disturbing about the pelvic thrust is that she was showing her dad stripper moves.

― milo z (mlp), Thursday, 1 February 2007 18:54 (seventeen years ago) link

oh god

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Thursday, 1 February 2007 18:54 (seventeen years ago) link

I watched the whole of the Reefer Madness musical because of her.

Strangely, I don't think I've seen her much in any kind of non-acting setting: I think I only saw one half-minute interview clip when the show debuted, in which she seemed ... really hard-assed, actually.

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 1 February 2007 18:57 (seventeen years ago) link

she has the same birthday as I do! and was born in the same city! I luv her.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Thursday, 1 February 2007 18:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh wait, I had a point, which was that she has a decent ability to do incredibly goony physical stuff, which I think is what comes out occasionally on Veronica Mars. Except that Veronica Mars isn't really supposed to be that goony, so it's this weird reined-in thing where you're not sure exactly what combination of goony/cool they're looking for.

Umm, goony:

she was great as a teenage hooker in Deadwood.

― milo z (mlp), Thursday, 1 February 2007 19:03 (seventeen years ago) link

i couldn't get into reefer madness at all.

― cousin larry bundgee (bundgee), Thursday, 1 February 2007 19:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Nor could I. Nobody should camp up camp classics. Also WTF with Catholic stuff in the church scene. I foolishly thought Neve Campbell dancing and Bell being goony would make it worthwhile, but not really. (I was not expecting any perv-appeal from Bell in a latex devil suit, or whatever, and my expectations were correct, it just doesn't work that way.)

Do I need to crow about how I ~~made~~ ~~geeked~~ freaked out in front of KB again?

― c(,,c) (Leee), Thursday, 1 February 2007 19:22 (seventeen years ago) link

She's quite a different person than KB IRL.

― c(,,c) (Leee), Thursday, 1 February 2007 19:24 (seventeen years ago) link

She doesn't solve crime in her spare time?

― milo z (mlp), Thursday, 1 February 2007 19:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Never had a best friend sleep with Harry Hamlin?

― milo z (mlp), Thursday, 1 February 2007 19:26 (seventeen years ago) link

KB is airier, more flighty. Strange, VM is to me a realer person to me, but then I see her more often than KB nowadays.

― c(,,c) (Leee), Thursday, 1 February 2007 19:31 (seventeen years ago) link

- Hi, Nabisco. Here's a video of Kristen Bell doing a song-and-dance number in a latex devil suit. Do you think it will be hot?
- No.
- Okay. Here's a video of Kristen Bell shotgunning beer and giving noogies to twelve-year-old nerds. Do you think it will be hot?
- YES.

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 1 February 2007 20:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Apparently Dick isn't going to be on the show anymore? He's living in Africa running an orphanage according to this.

― milo z (mlp), Thursday, 1 February 2007 21:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Considering it says that his work started in 2004, and the article is from November, that's gotta be a different Ryan Hansen.

― clotpoll (Clotpoll), Thursday, 1 February 2007 21:36 (seventeen years ago) link

No, that's the same one. He's just now made it permanent or something.

episode was fine, though if you watch this for the WHODUNIT aspect it was pretty EZ from the get-go. fortunately, that's not why i watch the show!
