I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

I'm beginning to feel like I'm going to have to tag this: I really do like Veronica Mars but...

The mystery this week was lah-hame. Both really simplistic and really messy.

I thought the A plot was weak too, which is why I didn't think the episode, while good, wasn't as good as last week's.

What is even happening?

ha! this proves my inner monologue disagreeing with my morning radio show about women not relating to each other(or others) by using movie/tv quotes.

In response to IAmNotReallyASpring's point, I'm just going to import something ita just said in BoxedSet, in response to some sci-fi critique:

I think the guy forgets that humans are the ones consuming the stories, and that fiction has...mechanisms. Sometimes emotional impact is the point, not equations.

I care much more that VM taps into the emotional through-lines in a given episode. For me, the mystery is the device, I think, more than the point.

You love jumping on me, don't you.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

but I hated that last voice-over about how Veronica has now learned to be more trusting and forgiving, which was worst kind of tell-not-show resolution. I felt like I was watching bloody 7th Heaven, not VM.

But... But... South Park shoutout!

Getting back to the urban legend running gag 150 posts back -- I know the tale of the woman selling her (ex-)husband's Porche (or whatever) for cheap, but when was this referenced on VM?
