So what else did Duncan snag from the vent?

I enjoyed the episode. There was one element that I prefer in this show over last week's Lost. Although I immediately assumed that Grace was the victim the show gave me lots of viable alternatives. Last week on Lost I was annoyed because it was so stupid obvious that Shannon was going to die. I love all the dangling plot threads. You got yer resolved plot and you got yer added to the pile of unresolved plots.

Loved the Duncan/Kendall scene. Hee. That could be because I love her character. She even infused some chemistry in Duncan.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

side comment to aerto -- my comment about Hitler being a vegetarian was entirely to your point, that vegetarianism Veronica Mars -watching isn't impugned by one of its fans being HitlerMallard Fillmore. Besides to me, MF's humor is far more striking

Somewhat On Topic Comment: I don't have a good take on Veronica's political orientation. Keith is surely liberal-for-law-enforcement, Duncan could be Young Republican material, Logan is going to be extremely right-wing, left-wing, or Libertarian....

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I think, were Logan to live to be 30, he would have had 12 chances to vote (not counting primaries or special elections) and would have voted exactly 0 times. Civic participation -- probably not his bag.

Is it bad that Duncan the Young Republican is also the least knowable character? Like, Logan, you pretty much know about the vice. Weevil, quantifiable lawlessness. Duncan? When Aaron Echolls tried to act like Duncan might be the killer after all, I kinda sorta half-believed him, but wasn't sure. We're deliberately left out of the decision he made about Kendall in the same way -- he could be a shmuck or he could be a hero and we wouldn't be able to tell.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Aren't the Kanes Democrats? I seem to remember Jake and Celeste expressing some distate about having to invite the Governator to the party for S1 finale.

I get your point, but don't think this is a good example of it. Duncan has a disease which could have caused him to kill Lilly. He was definitely capable of it. Whether or not he had actually done it has no bearing on how good a person he is or how well we "know" him.

It was a lovely way of still leaving that option open. Although I hope they never decide to use the option.

I don't feel that I know Duncan very well at all. Then again, I'm not convinced tha Duncan knows himself very well either.

Maybe they're still mad at him for Jingle All the Way.

I think I remember Mrs. Kane asking, "Honey? When did we become Republicans?" rather sadly.

Still, even if the parents are Democrats, that doesn't necessarilly mean their son will follow in their footsteps. Duncan seems to kick against doing some of what they want him to do (running for student office, getting a summer internship, dumping Veronica).

Ain't that the truth. My poor mother suffers so over my brother's Republican ways despite her fine training and example.
