I thnk the writers need to get together on their characterization of her.
not only that, but they really need to reevaluate what initially made people love and connect with her character. she's been completely unlikeable pretty much all season and i really hate not liking the lead character of a show i'm watching. (Grey's Anatomy, anyone?)
I didn't see her complaining when Logan came to her rescue at the Fitzpatrick's bar (or when Vinnie did). Or when Logan showed up on the roof the night Cassidy lost it.
You know, when she was in actual danger, as opposed to being mostly in danger in Logan's mind. Logan was an obnoxious jerk before he fell in love with Veronica, and now he's turned into a controlling jerk. I mean, calling Veronica's cell just to see if she would pick up? I have no sympathy.

I still like her -- or at least, I *feel* for her. I know what she's been through and what pushes her buttons, and I know how deeply she feels about certain things. But viewers coming in just this season may not -- and Veronica has done a lot of sketchy things this season (well, she's always done a lot of sketchy things), but she's also done a lot of not nice things.
Logan was an obnoxious jerk before he fell in love with Veronica, and now he's turned into a controlling jerk.
i'll give you obnoxious jerk before, but how exactly has he been controlling? wanting Veronica to be safe isn't a selfish act. i sincerely doubt he had any intentions of her ever finding out that he'd hired someone to protect her. it just happened that the bodyguard felt she was in danger at that moment and that was more important than blowing his cover.
Yeah, I don't get how he's controlling, either. Controlling, to me, is someone who tells his girlfriend what she can and can't do, who monitors her phone calls and her friends and all kinds of creepy things. Logan's not doing that -- he knew she wouldn't back off the case, but he wanted to make sure she didn't get hurt.
Edited to add: Logan calling her cell while watching to see if she would pick up isn't controlling, either. It's self-defense. He feels her slipping away, he wants to find out if he's right -- and protect himself from heartbreak. He's not monitoring who else she's talking to.
If anything, Veronica's the one who's been doing those things -- not to control Logan, but because she doesn't trust him not to disappoint her.
i sincerely doubt he had any intentions of her ever finding out that he'd hired someone to protect her.
That makes it so much better. He hired someone to stalk her, and since she has every right to fear being stalked, he wound up terrorizing the woman he claims to love. That's just unacceptable behavior. And it is controlling when the bodyguard pulls her out of a situation against her will.
Veronica should be afraid. she's not at all as badass as she'd like to believe and the fact that someone drugged and assaulted her proves that. she needs to learn when to ask for help and really, how hard would it be for her to ask Logan to keep her company on these late night treks across campus for random jobs. it's obvious he wouldn't mind and she was the one who was demanding just a few episodes ago that he wasn't spending enough time with her.
he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't and i personally hope he's the one to drop her if it comes down to that.

And I'm getting a serious BtVS S6 vibe off the reaction a lot of folks are having - poor-abused-woobie-Logan-why-is-Veronica-such-a-bitca-to-him vs. poor-bad-boy-chasing-Veronica-needs-to-get-a-clue-and-wash-
that-man-right-out-of-her-life. Yikes.
for the record, the way Veronica's been treating Logan isn't the only problem i have with her. she's been an equal opportunity bitch all season.
