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.

just a heads up. UPN has the first three minutes of episode one up on their website. to say i'm squeeing would be an understatement. go. watch. discuss.

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

nope. they manage to give us three minutes without answering a single question. aren't they infuriatingly nifty?

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.

ETA: sumi x-post

why does her dating an 09er mean one of them was at the door? 3 months have passed. plenty of time to grovel to Logan and/or rejoice with Duncan that they aren't siblings. it still could have been anyone at the door.

I have the same thoughts about the boyfriend comment. if she were dating Duncan again, i would have thought he would saying something about dating the rich boy again. i think they're intentionally making it ambiguous though. so who knows?

Actually -- I should say no, because saying that they narrow it down makes an assumption about who might have been at the door that I'm not sure we should make.

Hmmmm, I assume this is post-trial for Lilly's murderer, and I can't quite see Logan maintaining his social standing among the 09-ers after that. Plus, for Logan and Veronica to be back together in the first episode of the season with all the crazy things that went down between them last season would feel a bit like cheating. I'm actually hoping it'd be Duncan.

tiggy, it doesn't, and that's why I said pretty much and presumably. Also, I'm not sure they shot those 3 minutes deliberately ambiguous knowing that they'd be web-clipped a month before the premiere, but who knows, maybe that shot it that way because they like to fuck with our heads. And maybe that's why we love the show.
