Veronica's rape was an arc? It was in the pilot, and not mentioned again until the one or two episodes. I thought the writers had dropped it.

Keeping in mind that I watched the whole thing in two chunks, I never got the impression it had been dropped. It was always there in the back of the story, filtering up from time to time, and then exploding out there with MAD.

Same here, but I also saw most of the season in one week.

I never thought they'd dropped the rape arc either, but I watched them all in two weeks or thereabouts, so everything was pretty fresh in my mind from beginning to end.
Having no fandom baggage means I can love Logan? Huzzah!

The craxxy people are not allowed to ruin Logan for us, drat it!
So I shall ignore them. Which won't be hard, because I've been ignoring most of them since the first time they cried Woobie for Spike.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
You know, they didn't specifically mention the rape for most of the season, but the Rashomon-like structure of ATttD with the callbacks to almost all the 09ers from the episodes-past made it into such a continuity-yay! fest that it *felt* like there had been an ongoing arc.
Plus, what Plei said about its presence being felt in the background. Veronica's ferociousness and her massive trust issues owe as much to what happened to that party as to Lilly's murder, I think.

Even the most stable brain operates just a millimeter from madness.
I followed season one on a weekly basis, and while the rape never felt like an arc to me, I still never felt it was dropped. Didn't they speak of it from time to time, if only in small bits of dialogue? Or is it perhaps just as Vonnie K said, that part of what makes Veronica tick these days come from the rape, and that's it? 'Cause I can totally buy that.

Huh. I belive this was the first time I've posted outside of the Minearverse thread here on buffistas. When it comes to Veronica Mars I just can't stay away. Big fan of the show.
Plus, of course, I do have a huge crush on Kristen Bell. Huge. Gigantic, even. Can't help it.
So here I post.

I was kind of gutted that they didn't go for it, bigtime, with Logan as the killer; that he wasn't playing Veronica throughout the last few episodes. That would have rocked, and been worth losing the character for, IMO. But I liked the ending a lot, and am keen to see what Weevil did to Logan on the bridge (no, not in that way, get your filthy minds out of the gutter)

I hope it's a funny aneurysm!
KeyserSoze, are you who I think you are? I didn't know you were a Buffista!
I've been registered for a couple of years now, I think. I blame evil Minear. I post occasionally. I would like to discuss VM here as well if the conversation stays focused on the actual show and its characters.
