I didn't agree with all of the ways Inigo filled in the blanks. One place I thought s/he was spot on though
She. Inigo is awesome, by the way. If you find something that's particularly well written on our site, it's probably by her. Especially if it rhymes.
My guess was "she"--I might have even known for sure, but I am always given unrequested sex-changes to the boys in fandom.
Not exactly news, but...
Condition: If scheduling decisions were made by TV critics, this terrific teen drama would be an absolutely safe bet for a third season. Unfortunately, those calls are made by executives who have to worry about little things like viewership. And as brilliant and buzzworthy as the show has been, there are just too few viewers tuning in every week.
Prognosis: There's no question that this is a favorite of CW Entertainment boss Dawn Ostroff, formerly of UPN, and there were early indications that it would survive the carnage wrought by the WB-UPN merger. Now, the word is that the series' return is not a sure thing, but let's hope for the best.

Kristen Bell though, is quoted here: [link] as saying:
Of her renewal chances, she added: "We're really optimistic about the year and we've been given optimistic words by the people at the network so I don't think we'll have a problem."
In that link, she discusses the finale. She doesn't give anything away. I just mention it, because some people are extra averse to any outside commentary.
And as brilliant and buzzworthy as the show has been, there are just too few viewers tuning in every week.
Latest intel says the ratings don't matter, though, and let's hope that's true. And that all the pilot pitches to the CW suck. Except Split Decision, so Alona Tal can be on TV next season.
VM hasn't been shown in its regular timeslot in NY for the past two weeks, and not in LA last week. It kind of makes VM's ratings kind of meaningless.
Furthermore, many of the current UPN affiliates don't have much of an incentive to promote a show that may be moving to a different station next season.
Was Gia over-informing Veronica about the green Barracuda? I mean, she made certain to say where she was seated, and...I don't know. I just started thinking about her, last night. Do you think she really saw it at all, or was she misinforming, on Daddy's behalf?
I think she saw it (and was mooned), but possibly not right before the bus crash. Her "it's totally nondescript, that's what's so unique about it" rings true for a girl who doesn't care about cars trying to describe one she has seen - if someone had told her what to describe she would have had a description.
I had the impression that the details about the limo seating were to explain why she felt the canned ham was directed at her. Which she migt hvae needed to do if the incident actually happened while she was alone and she moved it, for whatever reason, to when she was in the limo.
I could believe it either way - that she's sincere or not.
Her "it's totally nondescript, that's what's so unique about it" rings true for a girl who doesn't care about cars trying to describe one she has seen - if someone had told her what to describe she would have had a description.That 'nondescript' description was of Deputy Leo's car, from Look Who's Stalking. It was in Nevermind the Buttocks, that Gia IDed the Barracuda. She didn't describe it. Veronica put an ad with a Barracuda photo in the school newspaper. I was more talking about being overly informative about where she sat, and why she was the only one who saw it, than about the car. It's probably nothing, but she's had a decent amount of screen time this season, considering none of it has mattered too much, until the last couple of weeks.
Unrelatedly, about Danny Boyd...
Okay, I confused Liam and Danny -- but are you saying that Danny isn't Liam's cousin? Because I thought that he was a Fitzgerald of some sort.
Danny Boyd is a Fitzpatrick of some sort, because he's Molly's uncle.
I don't think so. Liam is Molly's uncle (as is Father Fitzpatrick). i think sumi is correct in thinking that Danny is a cousin of the Fitzpatrick's.
For what it's worth, I was just looking for something else in the Ahoy, Mateys transcript, and Danny calls Molly, "My niece, Molly." He could be one of those older cousins that gets called an uncle, but she's not little, so what it means, I don't know.
Wow, I have to pay closer attention. Oddly, that is not my way with mysteries, so I should probably just keep quiet. But that is not my way, either.
Regardless, I agree that she was overexplainy about the Barracuda. Which could just be how she is - it wasn't far off from her talking about her outfit when Woody first introduced her at the ballpark - or could signify that it didn't happen (or didn't happen while she was in the limo).
so I should probably just keep quiet. But that is not my way, either.Hee. Me, neither.
That's a good point about her being talky!meat in general though. That is pretty much the note of her character.
