No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Well, Veronica certainly had some angst over it, though it was mostly a line or two here and there. I also think the fact she kept poking and snooping and trying to find something wrong with Logan (even accusing him of the murder) was at least partially inspired by said angst (the other part being the whole trying to solve the murder thing.) But she seemed to cast a far more critical eye on Logan once they started "dating" than before.

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

You mean you're not on the LoVe train?

Now, you're just asking for a spankin'

what i didn't buy was the way they acted in M.A.D. it didn't work for me.

Yeah, I agree they moved rather fast there, but I was willing to go ahead with it because the shiny happy bits served to accentuate the OMG the ANGST! moment at the end. I had more problems with the quick reconciliation in ATttD. Veronica running out on Logan time and time again? I totally buy it because the girl has huge trust issues, but no way she'd have forgiven him that fast for GBH. I didn't buy him being such a fabulous understanding boyfriend either. I expected a lot more rage and guilt and recrimination at the reveal.

What is even happening?

I love the Message Center, but it makes you forget that there are other threads hanging around the home page that you meant to subscribe to. IOW, yay VM thread!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I had some trouble with Veronica being willing to help Logan when he wanted her to find his mom

See now that's something I could see her doing without the poker game. She knows exactly what it's like to wonder what happened to your parent. On a much smaller scale, I used to hate my friend's girlfriend. She was terribly jealous of his time, couldn't stand me, etc. He moved pretty suddenly and it hit me and our other mutual friend pretty hard. I ran into her about 2 days later while I was still missing him and saw her sitting at the table all by herself looking blue, so I put in a few dollars to the jukebox and offered to let her help me pick Buffet songs to remember him.

All I'm saying is, Nothing like shared pain to bring people together.

Let me guess - they give us the answer in the teaser?

Art Crawl!!!

Uh, not exactly.

But they narrowed down the choices a bit.

Well they did narrow down the question some. We now pretty much know that (whitefonted for those who haven't seen the clip yet) Veronica is dating either Logan or Duncan so presumably one of them was at the door (and not some wild-ass guesses like Wallace, Weevil or deputy boy.) My sense is that it was Logan because the way that guy referred to her 09-er boyfriend made it sound like it was a new(ish) boyfriend and not a back together with old boyfriend.
