Okay, I just watched the episode and I frickin' loved it. My favorite episode since, probably, season one.

I... don't really have more thoughts than that. I wish I had enough time and brainpower to invest in actual contemplation of it, like I did last year, but I just don't.

So here is a random list of things I liked:

1) Dialogue. Sizzled. I mean, it usually does, but it seemed especially hot this ep. Loved the shocker thing, Logan with Gia at the dance, and the whole Veronica/Mac discussion about boys and their silliness.

2) Big mystery! Finally! Well, one of them anyway.

3) Woody soooooo creepy.

4) Hello, ironic justice as Logan pushes the plunger to kill Thumper, who looks to be the boy who actually killed Felix. Thus making Logan an unintentional murderer of a PCHer for reals, for an extra layer of irony. Plus, that last scene, all the way through the laughing children, was super-evocative.

5) Poor Mac! Woes! She must clearly run into the arms of the nearest small blond (totally bicurious) detective girl for comfort!

6) Also, it was good.

I need sleep. But I am happy with the show again, and, for the first time in many episodes, eagerly anticipate the next ep.

cold open's up. may i be the first to say, WTF?!?!

First in a long line of many, I think. So confused now.

Aw man, poor Mac. I support D Griswold's solution the her pain.

That thing will never play on my P.C. tiggy, if you get a chance later today, can you please let me know what happened?

UTTAD, behave yourself, man.

Ask Ausiello: UPN just sent out a press release about last night’s Veronica Mars ratings. Here’s an excerpt: “VERONICA MARS SCORED ITS BEST PERFORMANCE IN FOUR MONTHS (SINCE 12/7/05) IN VIEWERS (3.0mil), ADULTS 18-34 (1.5/4), WOMEN 18-34 (2.1/5) AND WOMEN 18-49 (1.6/4).” In related news, three posts today and counting. I’m outta control!!

And on the netlets, new episodes of "America's Next Top Model" (households: 3.3/6, #14; adults 18-49: 2.4, #T11) and "Veronica Mars" (households: 1.9/3, #16; adults 18-49: 1.2, #16) on UPN (households: 2.6/4, #5; adults 18-49: 1.8, #5) easily topped fresh installments of "One Tree Hill" (households: 2.0/3, #15; adults 18-49: 1.3, #15) and "The Bedford Diaries" (households: 1.3/2, #17; adults 18-49: 0.8, #17) on The WB (households: 1.6/2, #6; adults 18-49: 1.0, #6).

HELL YES!! best numbers yet, i believe.

i'm doing one better and uploading it to YSI. i'll post the link as soon as it's finished. if that doesn't work, i'll give you a rundown.

if that doesn't work, i also have it in real player format.

Poor Mac. Yeah, the Beav does have some serious issues. His pushing Mac away doesn't feel like gay to me though. Another issue.

Thanks tiggy. I can play those in IE, but not Firefox. Annoying.

Thanks tiggy. So the plot thickens or twistens or does what it usually does on VM.

if that doesn't work, i also have it in real player format.

Aw, thank you. I can't watch that either, but thanks. What doesn't work right is my P.C. Usually when a site hosts the video (like when AOL had the alternate ending to VM, or when someone puts up a funny video on youtube.com) I can watch it. UPN's stuff never works for me though, and I can't do You-Send-It stuff (I just tried again).
