Prediction: Aaron will die in the season finale.
Au contraire. Not only will Aaron survive, he will be made Dean of Student Discipline at Hearst College. Thus setting up many a campus conflict for next season.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

Duncan told Veronica in one of the early episodes that he didn't play Little League -- his mother was afraid he'd get hurt and his dad didn't want that interferring with other activities (I htink Duncan referred to "Mock UN" or something).
Yet another one of the sundry details I'd completely lost track of. VM is setting a personal record for me - I miss even more stuff with this show than with all of the background details/x-overs on LOST.

What is even happening?
No; I think it was Logan trying to be clever by going for alliteration and assonance.
I completely believe that's true text-wise. I'm not sure I believe it meta-wise.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Prediction: Aaron will die in the season finale.
Possible doer-of-the deeds: Kendall, Liam Fitzpatrick, or Logan (in some kind of self-defense or to protect Veronica.)
I can totally see Logan killing Aaron to protect Veronica (going back to my earlier comment that we've seen two empty guns used this season, someone is going to have to get shot.) and then getting arrested for murdering him as it's once again only Logan and Veronica's word for what happened.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Not only will Aaron survive, he will be made Dean of Student Discipline at Hearst College. Thus setting up many a campus conflict for next season.
Heh. Also, *shudder*. There should be a special one-episode-only Buffy/VM crossover in which Aaron Echolls rips off his mask to reveal his true alien face/turns out to be a demon so that Buffy could cheerfully slay him (and salt the earth.)
Does Duncan do dudes?
You mean he hasn't jumped Logan's bones while they were shacked up together all those months in Neptune Grand?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
we've seen two empty guns used this season, someone is going to have to get shot.
The time-travelling ghost of Anton Chekov is the killer.

More Season 2 dvd stuff . . . mostly just a picture.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Someone did get shot already. And he was holding a gun full of blanks at the time.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I can totally see Logan killing Aaron to protect Veronica
I can totally see Logan killing Aaron to protect himself. Like, if you're a dominating sociopath, who's spent nearly a year under other peoples' thumbs in prison, what's the first thing you'd do on being freed? Try to reassert your dominion where you had it before.
Logan used to be under his thumb, and now he's emancipated. Logan used to have that whole creeptastic discipline thing going on, and now he's disobeying his father in public. It's got to make Aaron crazy that he doesn't have control any more.
I think he'll snipe at Veronica, but she's not a direct danger to him now. I don't think he would go directly after her except to punish, and his idea of punishment tends to be pretty smart.
Actually, come to think, his idea of punishing her might be to mess with Logan.
