My synopsis didn't include the trial or Meg dying did it? Or did I just skip over that for the Logan bits?

The trial was V's plotline. It was much less point-ful, just tying into season-long themes.

Meg died. Anyeurism, I think. Something with a blood clot. She asked V to make sure her baby didn't go to crazy church people (her parents or others), which is what her parents want. Before she died, that is.

I recapped only the Logan and Wallace bits because I wasn't up to retelling the lame. The Meg death was a phone call to Keith, then he tells Veronica that Meg died from a blood clot and the baby is ok. This wasn't really dealt with this week.

I had forgotten the opening scenes since I had watched them on the website they seemed like last week in my memory. Huh.

Let's not even talk about waking up from a coma completely lucid. At least they didn't have Meg remembering shit about the crash.

Anyway. Even Veronica Mars has the episode-before-winter-hiatus crunch. It's no Dad or Wrecked.

I forgot about V's birthday. Oops. Still, the jury/trial plot was beyond lame, as bon bon pointed out. I'm no lawyer, but it seemed odd to me that they were convicting based on extrapolation. Granted, that's sometimes V's strong point (last week's episode, anyone?), but I kept thinking, This is going to bite you in the ass, honey. Just because you can figure out how it *might* have been doesn't make it so.

I didn't think about Meg's death being either a) not true, or b) the result of murder. I guess we'll see. Seems like Keith might have asked more questions about the baby's birth, or something, though. You don't die dramatically and quickly from a blood clot, and have a baby delivered with no complications or at least a little tension.

I hate feeling meh about this episode. It's partly due to the whole "Someone in Veronica's world will die" thing, I think. I should have known it would wind up being the easiest person to kill.

Well I suppose that's the only real evidence linking him to Lily's murder. Not so the Veronica kidnapping and attempted murder

Have you read that awesome fanfic thing that's like, a very realistic-looking article (or a few?) about Aaron getting off, and how the media would treat a star like that (vs. some crazy trashy blonde teenager)? It was awesome, but scary.

Also, P-C, if you want to meet up for a beer or some of our excellent local Tex-Mex while you're in town, let me know.

Ooh, cool.

This episode sucked. The end.

That Echolls Family Alpaca stuff is hilarious.

in other news, i must direct you all to this for nothing more than the Donut snark.

Okay, you all have been watching a lot longer than I have. I've seen all the episodes, but I've seen them too close together, to have time to ruminate. Is it that the character Duncan is supposed to be this off, or is there a Teddy Dunn problem, or do you think it's some combination of both?

I think I'm leaning toward it just being Duncan--he's creepy, off, and medicated. An awful lot of the fandom seems to think Dunn is lacking, though.

What do you think?
