my favorite scene was when Lamb came and arrested Weevil. that parting shot to Logan had me laughing for several minutes.

That was awesome.

That was awesome.

I'm completely memfaulting on this - what was it again?

"Hey good looking, we'll be back to pick you up later!"

Hee.

Otherwise everything would be open book take home.

Was, at my school. Seemed to work.

That said, as a teacher, I think that timed, memory tests definitely have their place. That ME class may have been one of them.

In my opinion, it feels like Veronica fought the Master over the summer and now she's all bitca but without the sexy Xander dance. Something just seems off with her.

Veronica's increased brusqueness is really souring me on the character. Like her side of the conversation with the pizza guy was all "Could you stop flattering me for a moment while we talk about me and my problems." Before, the people that drew Veronica's sass earned Veronica's sass but now she's just being flippant with and rude to strangers. Which is something, I think, the writers are aware and are evening out by making the one-off tertiary characters strange and rude. Is it weird that I'd enjoy the show much more if it had more polite exchanges?

No, I don't think it's weird.

Rob Thomas has been repeatedly quoted as reminding the writers to keep her porcupinely. And I get that. I want her to be sassy, hard-boiled, yada yada yada, too. But...

I think, though, that she needs to be more sympathetic in some way. In season one, she was so piled upon by everyone and everything that she was still a likable (or at least a sympathetic) bitch. It was warranted. Her bitchiness was also a little admirable -- at least it made me respect her, more (e.g. the scene in Hot Dogs, where she really went off on the boy who was so mean to Mandy, with the "Shut up! If I want you to speak, I'll wave a snausage over your nose," line).

I really think d hit it on the nose with that Buffy/When-She-Was-Bad comparison, except Veronica seems to have spent the summer having great sex, and now she's got a brand new car and is at college, and has more friends than she's had in a few years, so her prickliness is less sympathetic/admirable when it's just out of the blue.

I'd like to chalk it up to the aftermath of the Beaver case, and her current investigation of the rape case. It's got to be hitting her in the gut, but nobody's shown me that, too much, so far.

Oh, definitely. Plus, I was a little surprised that she didn't have some sort of tracker handy to put in her wallet before they took it--in the past, it seemed she has an endless supply when needed.

I really thought she had put something like that in the bag. I was surprised she hadn't.

CW Feels Some Growing Pains

The nascent CW network, just six weeks into the new fall season, is recording double-digit ratings decreases for most of the shows it picked up from the defunct WB and UPN networks.

...

ratings for 7th Heaven are down 33 percent, Gilmore Girls is down 22 percent, Smallville is down 22 percent and Supernatural is down 32 percent. ... All of Us, Everybody Hates Chris and Girlfriends, ratings are down 35 percent, 54 percent and 32 percent, respectively. Only America’s Next Top Model and Veronica Mars are up in the demo over last year

I've been reading about improving ratings in key demos for VM but haven't seen a THING about picking up the back nine. WTF? Am I just missing the news?
