I must be dense, but I either can't remember, or never got, the significance of the title aTttD. Can someone explain?

Oh, if there was any doubt, tiggy, I totally want to take advantage of your offer. I should have made that more clear.

After I pick up the kids, I will email you with my snailmail address.

I'm with Jon.

Whitefonted for Cindy-protection: "A trip to the dentist" is someone spitting into a drink before they give it to you. Madison did that to her drink--which had been drugged--and handed it to Veronica, which is why she was drugged, which is why she had sex with Duncan.

Hmm. I'll white-font this for Cindy's (and anyone else who hasn't caught up yet) sake:

At the beginning of the episode, Veronica was hellbent on hunting down that single rapist on whom she could reap her vengeance, but through the Rashomon-like multiple flashbacks, we slowly realizes that the story is far more complicated than we thought. The whole event turned out to have been a tragedy of errors, one thoughtless and petty act piling up on another causing a chain event that led to Veronica and Duncan ending up drugged and on that bed together. No single person was to blame, yet everyone was complicit in a way. And "A Trip to the Dentist" (referring to Madison spitting in her own drink, which unbenownst to her was already laced with GHB by Dick--meant for Madison, not Veronica--and handing that drug to Veronica, who then gets fed enough alcohol so that combination of booze and GHB made her insensate) was just that--an act of petty vindictiveness that snowballed because everyone else in that party was also at a fault or didn't care enough or whatever. It's sort of a metaphor for the pervasive corruption and casual and not-so-casual malice in the denizens of Neptune.

I got that part, sillies. I said it upstream (well, except I didn't know the girl's drink had been drugged--I figured someone else also got to Veronica's drink in another way, in addition to the spitty person).

Also? Never feel like you have to white font in NAFDA for me. It makes me itch. Also, I don't mind being spoiled on a show I've never watched. I have memory like a sieve, and 22 hours worth of the show to watch.

From Watch with Kristin:

And in an effort to keep the playing field fair, I've invited both beloved bosses, Lost's Damon Lindelof and Veronica Mars' Rob Thomas to plead their cases with you, their loyal minions, in our next two chats here at WWK Central.

The best part? Turns out these guys are both ape-dung over each other's shows! Though Rob, who's on underdog net UPN, did admit, "I wish Lost were somewhere else! I have friends who are writers on Lost, and I said, 'Can you just suck a little bit this year? Just send two million viewers our way. You'll still be a number-one show, and we'll be UPN's number-one show, and everyone can be happy!' "

Damon had a good laugh at that plea: "We will suck a little bit, don't you worry! And all I will say is that I literally had to cancel Adelphia [digital cable] and get DirecTV TiVo, so that I can TiVo both Veronica Mars and Lost, because I f--king love that show. It is awesome. It's probably my favorite show right now, and I didn't discover it until fairly late in the season, when my life started normalizing again, but now I'm hooked. I still have about six or seven episodes to go, so don't spoil anything for me!"

x-post with Lost, of course.

Can you just suck a little bit this year? Just send two million viewers our way.

Well, they succeeded with the Lost finale for me. I see now that the crappy finale was just altruism.

To further elaborate on the significance of the title of ATttD: At the dentist you spit in the little sink thingy when he tells you to, so Madison's color-treated little mind thinks that's a funny reference for spitting in someone's drink.
