Umm, quick question to those out there in the mainland. My Tivo has recorded only one VM so far - the Greek Rush Week one. It sort of felt like I was coming in alreayd in the middle of something and I see you all talking about stuff I haven't seen. Have I missed something? How much?

Welcome Wagon was first. . . last week was second.

Huh. I think I would have preferred a *slightly* bigger arc there.

Veronica needs the real mystery to take off because her basic paranoia is starting to screw up her personal life. (Kind of like a terrier that doesn't get enough to do, no?)

Wrod.

No wonder that football player's girlfriend looked so familiar! She played Tessa in the season premiere of Supernatural!!

1) Not that interested in hanging out with her 2) especially not when she's doing something a little "weird" that she wants to do with him unless 3) there is sex involved. The problem, in my eyes, is not that he's gambling his night away and she disapproves - though she does, clearly - but that he seems to be avoiding her to do that instead. Possibly consistently.

Gris is me. Logan's doing the pushing away, and Veronica's freaking and resorting to her natural "Spy Vs. Spy" default. Neither of which is good, but it's certainly not all on her.

Huh. I think I would have preferred a *slightly* bigger arc there.

What? With Logan? You think that's over? No way on Earth is it all hugs and puppies from here with those two.

You think that's over?

No, I don't really think it's over, but I hate pat, fake endings, even if they're pseudo endings. So they kissed and made up, after Veronica got the anvil in the forehead. It all rang so false to me.

Logan's doing the pushing away, and Veronica's freaking

I don't see Logan pushing her away. I see Logan knowing that there are some things Veronica wouldn't be interested in, or approve of, and not feeling that they must be joined at the hip every moment.

I feel like such a guy right now. I completely sympathized with him instead of her.

I'm with Victor and Gris; I thought they were both being asshats in their own inimitable ways. Actually, the Veronica/Logan stuff was getting on my last nerve last night.

I thought the Weevil wrap up was a little to sudden - I would have liked a couple of weeks of PI!Weevil. Him and Keith had a nice banter going. I'm hoping Keith (or Veronica) may find reasons to have Weevil do the occasional odd surveillance job that doesn't involve family trauma. I'm also Ed Begley will continue to show up the way the vice/principal at the high school did (i.e. occasional antagonist AND occasional enabler).

I did, too! I don't get -- at all -- how Logan is being an asshat. Unless "asshat" means "must follow girlfriend around to every weird-ass event on campus."

This is what I expected from the season 3 premiere. It was light, entertaining and there was a reason to care about V/L. I think it's the best episode of the first three season 3 episodes.

I had no problem at all with the V/L story last night. It felt totally in-character for both of them (and I think they were both wrong, but she was wrong-er). If, however, I could rearrange the order of the plot points this pair has hit so far in season three, I so very much would. They would have hit the trust issue in the first episode.

I have no reason to believe Rob Thomas has the slightest ["clue about" or "interest in" - take your pick] how to build and pay-off romantic tension. It's too bad. I don't think we ever have to worry about V/L ending up in Sam/Diane or Maddie/Dave territory, because I have no reason to believe he has a clue on how to exploit their chemistry in the first place.

It's like it accidentally bubbles up from the actors, then he goes, "Oh, we never knew that Epic speech/Camelot Motel First Kiss/Make-Out Back-flash would be so big," then goes off to do something else.

What? With Logan? You think that's over? No way on Earth is it all hugs and puppies from here with those two.

Amen.

Can we trade Piz in for football boy? I don't dislike Piz, but so far, he has managed to convey the amount of sexual charisma you'd expect from your comfy-if-worn-out slipper socks.

V took a shine to football boy right away, and his looks are (better than, but) similar enough to Duncan's looks, that I could see him as a potential and interesting V/L spoiler.
