I loved last night's episode. I really enjoyed thinking of the potential craxxyness that Self-Destruto Boy and Trust Issues Like Whoa Mars have experienced and will experience. I hope they stick through the craxxy, because damn. That's interesting. So damaged, the both of them. Also, pretty.

WEEVIL! Yay for Weevil. Slightly eyerolly that Keith would give him such a sensitive assignment right away, but I can let it go.

Dug the MotW. Um, that's all I have. Amazing how much less I have to say when an episode makes me happy, eh?

The Logan gym talk made me snicker after the discussion of his abs in here stemming from ita's krav peeps.

Heh. Me, too.

Me, three.

It's been brought up repeatedly in every episode. He's skipping class.

It's a state school. Some classes just aren't big on attendance. DH, for the record, skipped class whenever it was raining. Seriously. He did't like to go out in the rain. He still pulled down stellar grades because he's smart. He knew which classes he could skip and still get good grades. Logan's not stupid and I think he's savvy to just excatly what he can get away with.

I sort of thought Veronica was being a wet blanket in the opener because of pushing all the "cultural" stuff. I mean, Neptune probably has an art museum (or two) and I didn't see her rushing to poetry readings when she was in high school. It's just a thing. I'm not saying she should want to get plastered at every kegger on campus, but partying and enjoying yourself is also a part of college life.

I thought Logan was being more normal and Veronica was pushing to be what she thought should be more normal.

Maybe I'm projecting too much of my own college experience here, though. My first college roommate was a Latin major. Who majors in a dead language?

Wasn't Kiba a Latin major?

I skipped a lot, but only during bouts of depression or infatuation. Thus, the five year plan.

It's a state school.

Hearst is a private college. Else it would be named "UC Neptune" or "Cal State Neptune," ala UC Sunnydale.

Judging by how the reactions are falling, it seems the males are tending to sympathize with Veronica and the females with Logan. That's actually really interesting.

One suspects a good many people (probably me included) are seeing their worst attributes with regards to relationships magnified a bit here, and they're reacting to them.

It's a state school.

No, it's not. It's a private school.

I thought Logan was being more normal and Veronica was pushing to be what she thought should be more normal.

Well, Veronica's years distanced from normal, so she probably doesn't remember what it looks like.

I agree with Cindy both that this was the best episode of the season and that we're lacking the emotional resonance.

Well, I'm mostly bewildered by Logan's actions, although I have to admit that his "little lies" remind me of the way I am with my parents. It's not that what he's actually doing is that awful, but it's just easier not to mention it at all because of the reaction he knows he'll get. And, since he's not being entirely honest with Veronica, I can understand why she would feel a little paranoid.

I was thinking this, too, victor.

I wasn't around for any of the Spuffy discussion in S6 or thereafter, but did the same thing occur? Did the women sympathize with him, and the men not?

Hmm. I'm not sure. Where I tended to see a lot of Spike sympathy wasn't here, but in the rest of my fannish haunts, and those are mostly female. I did, however, note an alarmingly large number of men I knew in the Goth scene identifying with Spike.
