Oh. My. God.

Way to have a Surprise Party. I totally didn't see THAT coming. The unexpected sympathetic cringe had me jumping out of my seat and running around the room with my hands on my head, yelling something along the lines of "NONONONONO!"

JEsus, these last episodes are quite the rollercoaster, aren't they? At present the Sheriff McNasty is arriving at Logan's door. So at this point we know that (1) she lost her cherry consensually with Duncan, thanks to the unwitting intervention of Madison and Logan, and that (2) DaddyMars IS her Daddy. Yay Daddy Mars! I have to say, though, I feel really bad for Wallace's mom, who seems lovely, and with whom Daddy Mars had quite the lovely romance blossoming. He's such a good guy, giving up this lovely romance because he's trying to do the right thing by his family - but I kind of want Mom to bugger off. And I've been sitting here with my belly tied in knots and both hands pressed to my mouth for the longest time, braced for bad things to unfurl. Which they keep right on doing. Still assuming Logan ISN'T the villain of the piece, because it's too damned early a reveal if he is. So is it Professor Plum? Is it Colonel Mustard? Clearly not Duncan, although, man, his parents are COLD. Way to break their boy! "You did it, son. You killed your sister." Gosh.

This is fabulous. They've got, what 40 minutes or so left of the Season, and I honestly don't know whodunnit.

scampers back to watch some more.

I'm not one of Suela's people.

Well, you are too, but you won't be at Vividcon. That was the subset of My People Who Will Be at Vividcon.

Shit. Wow. Finished.

That was fabulous. In a totally-satisfying-and-yet-leaving-you-clamouring-for-more kinda way.

WHEN IS SEASON TWO HAPPENING??????????

it's been pushed back to september 28th from what i'm told. did you figure out the killer before Veronica did?

do not read if you haven't seen the finale of VM

wasn't really all that happy with who the killer turned out to be. mostly because we'd been told all season that if we watched the pilot all the clues were there. well...Aaron was hardly mentioned in the pilot. not to mention that Rob Thomas had said he knew who the killer was from the beginning, BUT Logan was only supposed to be in the first few eps. so how is it that he wasn't supposed to be a recurring character, but his father was decided upon to be the killer in the beginning? just doesn't work for me and i'm convinced RT changed who the killer was.

I was certain Momma!Kane had done it. like, completely certain. shows what i know.

Ah. Well, y'see, I had no context for viewing other than a brief summary meara gave me when she was in Egypt and I asked about it. So I had no particular expectations about whodunnit. It totally worked for me. It was one of my (numerous) suppositions, and it seemed to fit very well with the characterisation. I don't mind whether that was the writer's original plan or whether he found that the story reshaped itself as he was writing, because it seemed plausible to me.

SO pleased that MommaMars got kicked to the curb, and that MommaFennel got to hold his hand in the end. And OMG, poor Logan. JEsus. The damage just kept right on a-comin', didn't it? That last episode was both very satisfying and very moreish. And, argh, just to reiterate, poor Logan! And Weevil! Who should have been kicking PappaEccles' denim-clad ass! I SO wanted Weevil to show up and get medieval on Aaron's ass. But I clapped Florist!Guy, when he smashed into him with a big white van, 'cause that was a pretty acceptable alternative, in a pinch.

...I have a rule of thumb wrt acceptability of fancying people. I figure that, yes, granted, I'm 31, but it's okay to fancy people who are bigger than me. Even if I'm considerably older than them. Ahem.

So it's okay to get hot and bothered about teenagers pressed up against bookshelves. Really. Fine.

if it makes you feel better, he's 24 in RL.

*g*

See, if you play the "he's taller than me, and thus fair game to fancy" card, it's all one whether a person is 24 or 17. Really, I have no difficulty justifying fancying this lad, 'cause he's clearly a grown up. I mean, okay, there's the whole gawky thing going on there, but we're hardly talking Jeremy Sumpter here, are we?

(Don't talk to me about Peter Pan. Now THAT made me feel like Humbert Humbert*. This, not so much.)

...fwiw, when it comes to Alias I'm Victor Garber's girl all the way. Well, okay, and Lena Olin. Gah. And Isabella Rosselini. Oh, mind you, mustn't forget David Anders, or at least his portrayal of Sark...

Does this just mean I'm an equal opportunities letch?

sighs.

*although I was mostly All About Captain Hook. But Captain Hook was himself clearly All About Peter. Which was kind of sexy disturbing.

But Captain Hook was himself clearly All About Peter.

Heh. I was all, hmmm, "Captain Hook/Wendy!", because dude, there was subtext in some of their scenes. I was secretly hoping that Wendy would take a pirate name and stay to boss around the pirates. Plus, I thought Peter was kind of a prat.

Mmmmm'Jason Isaac....

As for Jason Dohring who plays Logan, it was sad-making to learn that he's 1) married and 2) a scientologist. I have tougher time getting past 2) than 1) in terms of crush-age.

Oh! And while I'm at it; someone on my LJ Flist, in a weird bit of synchrony, asked for VM fic recs earlier on today. Rather than copying all of these to fic thread, I'll just link to the post here ('cause I am laaaaaazy): [link] I particularly recommend Yahtzee's fic (somewhere half way down the comment page) and everything Boyfriend In Coma has written, especially "Past Is A Prologue" because, talk about fuckin' Ow.

I have tougher time getting past 2) than 1) in terms of crush-age

This I can understand.

Can you believe that they delayed the VM premier to air two hours of America's Next Top Model?

Isn't Mama Mars the worst Mama in the world?
