Very true. And the fact that we were seeing both dream and flashback versions of those killed in the bus crash makes it a little hard to pick out what's "real" and what's the workings of Veronica's subconcious when you're trying to remember what actually happened.

I've started a post (in LJ) on the episode, trying to break out actual information and its source. It's taking forever though, and I may quit it, rather than finish it.

In Veronica's dream, dead gay student asked her "Why would *I* go to a baseball stadium?" (Which is a bit of a stereotype, but again, it tells the viewers something.)

That kind of bugged me, but Dick's report that he saw Peter (is that right? I have to say, Veronica's ghost's complaining that she has to put descriptive t-shirts on them to keep them straight was very funny) throwing away the basbeall tickets he'd won supports the idea that he wasn't there because he's a fan. [This paragraph brought to you by me working out small things that are obvious to everyone else. The #1 sponsor of -t posts]

I can't decide if I would be pleased or disappointed if Dick turns out to be complicated after all. I am stuck thinking that Beaver's "story of my life" wrt catching the shit fallout from Dick's dickishness is foreshadowing some major reveal. I can't see Beaver being involved in the bus crash, though. I can see Dick, Logan and Lucky following up the swimming-pool-on-fire lark with doing something to the bus.

I, too, am suspicious about the $2 mil settlement really being about fast food. And damn, Rhonda's [wait, was that Rhonda or was Rhonda voicemail girl? Maybe I'm thinking of Tina. I wish we'd gotten to know these dead characters earlier] sister was cold with that "better than taking the bus" comment.

Rhonda was voicemail girl. Tina was Dick's fling. I thought Vette!chick was Rhonda's sister, but I could be confused.

Tina was Dick's fling.

Betina.

I thought Vette!chick was Rhonda's sister, but I could be confused.

Yep. Natalie. And her comment about the bus did make it seem like the money was related somehow.

Betina.

I thought it was Betina, but then I thought "What kind of name is Betina?" and assumed I misheard.

Betina is also Dick and Beaver's mom's name.

Also, I knew a Bettina.

Weird. (That Betina is the Ex Mrs. Casablancas.)

So Dick was sleeping with a girl who had the same name as his mom? A girl who was (reputedly) trying to get pregnant whie telling him she was on the Pill.

Interesting.

(Eta: No way am I going to be able to keep Rhonda and Bettina straight. They might as well be the same person for all my brain can tell)

I wish someone had put together a concise timeline of what we know and when it happened. I'm really not following a lot of this stuff--it's why I have problems with mystery shows.

Well, lookee here.

Okay, so that's not concise, per se, but here's everything you need to know about the bus crash.
