Whew, finally caught up--I'd tivo'd it, as I was out of town, but then (stupid antenna) it was unwatchable, so I had to wait for Saturday night's replay (thank goodness for that!).

I just watched the opening scene (which I kinda think is fair to whitefont, since it's not just flashes of "next week on", it IS next week on! But don't really care if it's not whitefonted, will go with the group). Madness. And fun as it would be, if Veronica is on Logan's jury I WILL throw things at the TV in a fit of "YOU'VE STRETCHED MY DISBELIEF TOO FAR YOU BASTARDS"

Also, as for the pregnancy, don't both the father AND the mother have to terminate parental rights for a baby to get adopted? So even if Meg's parents "make" her sign away hers, can't Duncan in theory stand firm? I mean, not that he necessarily wants to raise the kid (suddenly that whole baby-from-health-class and illegitimate-love-child shtick Veronica was talking to his mom are all more interesting...).

The alternate ending was crazy.

Exactly, meara

They really are 3 interesting takes on having a baby, and I think it's pretty damn clear that none of the (conscious) HS students are at all ready to be a parent, which was probably the point of the fakebaby.

And I'm choosing not to read too much into Hamlet, even though it would be easy to.

meara, re the jury thing, Medium had a similar stunt, and I actually bought it.

Yeah, but, on Medium, she wasn't the defendent.

Yeah, not only was Veronica's best friend killed by Logan's father, (and Keith's career in law enforcement wrecked thereby), but Aaron Echolls also deliberately tried to kill V., and then there's the little matter of V having been intimate with L. The prosecution AND the defense would have a wrestling match to determine who gets to disqualify her the firstest.

I think it is more likely that the case will be her investigation of the week. Instead of being a good girl and only listening to the stuff presented in court she will investigate the issue on her own time. Which of course would result in a mistrial IRL.

Ooh, good thought, Laura.

And might result in a mistrial on the show. Which would be awesome. Especially if it leads to the defendant (who Veronica will find out is guilty, of course) getting away scot free - I love it when Veronica screws up.

Now I want that.

Edited because I can spell defendANT.

That would be classic Veronica screw up Gris.

The only time I was seated on a jury it was a hysterical he said she said civil case that had all of us rolling on the floor every time they made us leave the room. The judge even commented on the volume of our laughter. We foolishly figured if we couldn't hear them they couldn't hear us. The judge found it all absurd too. He would fake yawn behind the witness line of sight.

It is remotely possible it could be a silly case. But probably not.

Also, I want Wallace back!!!

everyone needs to go here and fill out the poll AOL has put up.

this is a very good thing. here's hoping the networks are realizing just how outdated the Nielsen ratings are and are working towards abolishing/renegotiating.
