The labels that were on the tapes, thus making them not identifyable as having formerly been the tapes in question.

Ahh, OK. I got distracted and when I was paying attention again I thought they almost looked like some kind of key cards, but they burned too quickly for plastic.

All the characters were posessed by insane trolls.

Actually, I thought the characters were the characters. It was the world around them that was making insane troll logic. For instance, it's not Veronica's fault at all that somehow she got summoned for jury duty the day before she was due to show up, made it through a jury selection process AND an entire, detailed criminal trial ALL ON THE SAME DAY.

And Keith was pretty identifiable as Keith, even if Leo could have pulled off the same crime much better and easier if he had stolen a copy, and no one would have noticed until it came out. And Duncan was a dumbass, but then, he's always a dumbass, so whataya gonna do? Being oblivious concrete IS his his character.

And as for the racist guy on the jury, well ... OK. I gotta give them that one. I lived in rich O.C. for too long and heard too many rich white guys blurt out equally stupid things to not think that's not as exaggerated as it may seem. Plus, dug the grandma, and we got Wallace back and a hint of what Veronica's doing after college.

Probably the weakest episode of the season so far, but I can't say I didn't enjoy it.

P-C: excellent! I think my profile email is good.

Hmm. I'm out of synch with VM fans. I didn't like the Prom Baby episode, but I liked One Angry Veronica. Don't get me wrong; I recognize its flaws, which are many. But -- I just liked it. Possibly b/c we got more Keith than we've been getting lately.

I liked it. I thought it was full of flaws (and some sloppiness) but I didn't not like it (Buffy hated it, though t /delusional ). It was more painful to think about/analyze than it was to just sit and watch.

I thought the Logan scenes were great (although the first Keith & Logan scene at the Sheriff's office were too rushed for me). I loved Bell and Colatoni in their scenes together (although I thought the dialog was subpar, the acting covered that up), and I liked the Keith & Lamb scenes, as well.

There was a lot more Keith than usual last week.

More Keith is of the good. And next year, more Wallace! (I assume)

The good parts (Logan and Keith with the tapes, Veronica & Keith & NYE) made the episode end up in the plus column for me.

Hee! Couch Baron delivered one hell of a funny line (at least... to me) about Lamb's appearance in the last one:

And that's all you'll be seeing of Lamb this week, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it sufficed.

oddly, I felt show was - undramatic. Oddly predictable. Even how people turn on the jury was - predictable.

I think the jury trial served a few purposes.

1) getting V into college. 2) a reminder ( heavy handed) that it is not just kids in the '09er crowd that are mean, cruel, and bigoted. 3) A slap in the face telling everyone that V is not an '09er. She doesn't think like them and even if she hangs with them she isn't one.

Logan tears.....

Wallace!

From Ask Ausiello:

Question: I was watching last week's Veronica Mars when they showed Logan's e-mail address — gottapes@gmail.com — on screen, and I decided to send off a message. Would you believe he wrote me back in character? Was this a staff member? — Kevin

Ausiello: After receiving your tip, I did what any self-respecting TV sleuth would do: I sent "Logan" an e-mail myself to see if you were telling me the truth or just spewing tall tales between bong hits. Lo and behold, within seconds I received a response from Logan that went like this:

I already have the tapes and destroyed them. If you want to hound someone, why don't you hound Veronica Mars. She can be reached at: upn.com/shows/veronica_mars/

Logan

Cool, eh? Well, the plot thickens. Moments letter, another e-mail came through — this one from Rick Pickett, a graphic designer for Veronica Mars, who proceeded to explain that he "uses these real e-mail accounts… [because] it's easier, and more realistic. I then set up to have a bounce-back message for fans, and there're a lot of them who write to the address. I realized after Episode 21 from last season how dedicated fans were with these details. It's like the whole 867-5309 phenomenon — they will try it out. I figured I'd give them a little excitement for their efforts. I've gotten roughly 80 emails for Logan's e-mail and 50 for Inga. Some play along with the script and what's going on, offering money, favors, etc." Um, only 80 e-mails for Logan? Guys, whaddaya say we add to that total a little bit? Here's that address again, gottapes@gmail.com. Go to it.

Anyone here try it?
