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.

I've noticed that, but I will fall out of line with my sister Buffistas on this one. I've been nodding in complete agreement with you, victor. They both did bad. Logan seemed to recognize his self-destructive behavior and push it rather than rein it in.

Indeed. If the "getting lucky" crack wasn't button pushing, it was more cluelessness than I've seen Logan display before.

Yeah, but....he's DICK! He was drinking a beer while walking across campus! He's DICK!

Okay, but here's the thing: he's DICK, yes. But...do we have any reason to believe he's a liar ? An asshole, yes, but the thing about Dick is he's so transparent. What you see is what you get.

Heh. I didn't catch the actual meaning of the "getting lucky" crack until now.

I knew the 'getting lucky' couldn't mean he was getting lucky with a woman, because otherwise, why would Logan say it to Veronica, so part of me faults Veronica for not realizing Logan wouldn't say that, if he were trying to be sneaky about another girl. She notices stuff nobody else does, so I hold her to a higher standard for little details like that.

Can we trade Piz in for football boy?

This, please!

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.

And This, please!!

Yeah, but....he's DICK! He was drinking a beer while walking across campus! He's DICK!

Hellooooo! He's DICK!

I actually cared less about V vs L than about the other stuff.

Cereal: On the other hand, I coulda used another two episodes of Weevil & Mars, Private Investigators.

Yes.

They both did. And then they took a step back at the end of the episode. She had already been doing the passive-aggressive stuff about him not going to class, and he reacted to it be being more self-destructive and testing of their relationship.

Veronica's 18 and not watching the show. She's living it. Whether she objectively thought it had any validity as possible cheating on her (and, honestly, I don't think she activated the chip with that in mind - what she expected to find is probably pretty much what she found), it's still very much NOT the kind of foolishness you what you want to hear when you've been looking forward to seeing your boyfriend all day and he fails to show.

Of course it was a stupid joke. I'm sure Veronica knew that. What makes it button-pushing is the fact that the joke was clearly made because a bunch of other people around him had a much stronger pull, and he didn't acknowledge that in the message.

The correct message? "I don't think I'm going to make it, I'm at this party, and I'm having a really a good time. You should call me when you get off, maybe you could join me or we could hang out elsewhere."

Of course, if I was really madly in love, my message would be "Sorry, I'm running late, I got a little distracted, but I'm heading over there right now. See you soon." Which is why I doubt assertions that say Logan is on the Riley side of their affection balance.

Logan is an incredibly fucked-up guy, and that makes him bad at relationships in many ways. This is an example of that. I, personally, am of the belief that it makes him mostly incompatible with Veronica, except chemically and sexually, because he can't reform anywhere near fast enough to be the safety net she needs, even if he really wants to. And I'm not 100% sure he does.

I think that every school has students who want to believe it. At my college, the "rule" was 5 minutes for TAs, 10 minutes for adjunct professors (i.e., non-PhDs, non-EdDs, etc.), and 15 minutes for full professors.

Last year, in one of my smaller classes (about a dozen students), the prof didn't show so we decided to just work on the homework together. Halfway through the period, the professor finally appeared. He had been sitting in his office, but had forgotten about the class. He complained that we should've came and got him.

I can be pretty flaky, but this really takes the absent-minded professor thing to a whole new level.
