Veronica Mars

[estepheia]

Here's what I think
The Good:
- the fight between Logan and Duncan (way overdue)
- the patching-up scene afterwards
- "oh sorry, did that sting?" (Whoa! JD really does 'broken and fucked-up' well.)
- Veronica getting back into snooping (IMHO she's a born detective; snooping's her element)
- Veronica's bitchiness towards Wallace's new flame (and the way V. does not find the right way to steer him away from her)
- Keith Mars - King Kong - priceless
- Lamb putting clamps on Keith's car
- the rising level of distrust/dishonesty
- Charisma Carpenter (her character is a bimbo, but CC looks stunning)
- the teacher who won't dump his stock on someone else
- Mac!!!
- Veronica tackling Julie

The Bad:
- the scene with Meg's parents. WTF?
- Duncan and Veronica holding hands and being all romantically couple-y. I gotta say I share Logan's disgust at the way they flaunt their newfound bliss.
- the Casablancas (the entire family is revolting - and boring)
- the scene with Weevil? Felt off. And what's up with that informant? This bit seems awfully contrived.
- the 'long haul' connection and the discovery of Moran's identity - contrived.
- Wallace's new flame. God I hate her!

The Ugly:
- Veronica's clothes. That blouse-plus-green-thingie ensemble has to go
- Veronica's hair - belongs in a pony tail!

All in all, the two episodes were better than the first two, now that most of the exposition is out of the way. I am still annoyed about the way Logan was rewound to class-jackass/psycho of S1 epi 1. I want to see what happens when Logan actively strives for something. I don't think he's dumb, but he sure acts dumb. *sigh* I guess compared to Veronica's extreme efficiency everyone else looks like a slacker, Logan more so.

I don't think Logan looks dumb. To me, it's obviously he's very smart. But he's been through more in a year than a person should have to go through in a lifetime. He's regressed to what he's comfortable with and where he feels safe - in his snark, in his attitude. He pushes people away because it's easier. Besides, what choice does he have...the two people closest to him have turned their backs on him.

The Good:
"What's the deal with the hoops? If I rub your head, will I get three wishes?"

You're right, the line with the three wishes was fabulous.

And yeah, I know that Logan isn't dumb, but I still feel like smacking him. Making out with his friend's step mom? Not such a great idea. Veronica is right, there is something self-destructive in his actions.

Still, I enjoyed the last two epis and look forward to seeing what will happen next. Let's hope that Logan and Weevil get screen time and something useful to do...
