The wanting-to-pay-attention-to-the-movie is a bad sign, I think.
Yo-man. When you'd rather watch a movie you know by heart, that's pretty boring sex.

But Lamb isn't necessarily woobified;
But his daddy was mean to him when he was a kid! He's totally just acting out! Okay, I know the show is far more sophisticated with its character development than this. Really I'm just waiting to see if they take it any further. Also, I want my Wallace back.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Lamb's past is not meant to make him sympathetic or justified; I think it just goes along with the noir. Everyone has their dirty little secrets, their closet full of composition books.

Nothing I have seen from D/V this season matches up to the making-out-in-the-backseat dreams they both were having last season (no idea what episode it's from) which actually did make Duncan look like he could handle things in the let's-get-it-on department.
Frankly, that applies to my entire D/V experience: they had more chemistry in season one.
I do think that is kind of on purpose, though.
ETA: I have a bit of Lamb woobification fear as well. I want him to be a straight up bad guy. I'm holding out hope that as bon noted: this is just adding to his noir-ish layers.

Yup. They more than hinted last week that Duncan had been much closer to his previous girlfriend than he was to Veronica.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I'm not so sure Lamb was woobified, either. What we really got was a tiny glimpse that he's not so 2-dimensional, after all. And it was really well done, IMO. Props to the actor who plays Lamb.
Although, possibly Duncan's felicitous meeting with Kendall will teach him a thing or two.
I'd like to see Duncan suddenly become a sex machine (courtesy of Kendall) and *that* be what finally pings Veronica's suspicions.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
When you'd rather watch a movie you know by heart, that's pretty boring sex.
But! It's the Dude! From where I stand, the sex would have to be pretty spectacular to top The Big Lebowski.
Or possibly that's a really sad commentary on my sex life. Err, carry on.

I think Veronica's back with Duncan because he's the normal she wants to get back to more than because he's hot in the sack.

Everyone has their dirty little secrets, their closet full of composition books.
This explanation sits better with me. I think I may have just jumped straight to 'woobie!' from too much lj osmosis.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I actually thought she was interested in Duncan because he's former forbidden fruit. They were something out of a Hemingway novel for a whole year and now that barriers were removed, they got together and things are a bit more flat than their fantasies.
I kind of don't want Veronica paired up with anyone for awhile. I see her dating an older man. Maybe a college guy.
