Yeah, she pushes the people she cares about away AND I also think her response to being in danger is to prove that she doesn't need help. So, it was a doubly doomed relationship.

Thoughts at length tomorrow, but basically ... I liked it. It was all set up well, and it all followed.

That being said ... the moment Logan took a baseball bat to the cop car, that was my show. That's the borderline psychopath we know and love ... just crazy enough to do something stupid so he can inflict a world of hurt on the people who hurt his girl. Gotta love that.

Also, small thing I loved: Glad it was Parker who came to Veronica's rescue.

Oh, not a small thing at all. I was fiercely glad that Veronica put up such a good fight and did most of the saving herself, and that when the aid came to her way, it came from Parker rather than any of the men in her life.

I didn't love it, but I liked it. I wasn't expecting to, as I've been so unhappy with this season so far, but that did a reasonably satisfying job wrapping up the mystery and setting up the new one. That Mercer was involved wasn't much of a surprise, but I did like the way they used the continuity to the Prisoner/Guard experiment episode as a plot twist. That was cool.

The V/L breakup scene was nicely done, and let me join in the chorus of approval that the Logan we knew and loved so well from the earlier seasons is back. Yay!

Amen. I somewhat shamefully bounced up and down when he was smashing the cop car and I realized what he was doing...and when he walked into that cell, I went "woobie!!!!"

And I also agree that Parker coming to Veronica's rescue was awesome. And glad Veronica was at least marginally helpful to herself with teh stabbing and the hammer and stuff. Yay.

Does GHB really work that fast?

I think the next mystery sounds neat (though sad that the cute moment of Weevil and Dean will be the only one!), but oh, the feminists. Oh. Oh. I just...argh.

Probably longer ago than last year because Moe is an RA -- I mean, are there sophomore RAs?

Yep. Also TAs, sometimes. I once had a TA who was an sophomore undergraduate. The professor really hated him, even though he was just as competent as the other TAs for the class.

Veronica's crying in the shower bit was very in character, too.

She's totally Buffy, y'all.

My wife said, "It's ok to feel, Buffy, just don't start singing."

I'm still curious what happened with the Dean at the Hotel (as I guess I should be) and then back to the admin office.

I realized afterward that we don't actually know what went down. He could have killed one or both of them, but I doubt that since they make great suspects.

Dude, the girl doled out plenty of damage.

She breaks down alone. She doesn't want to show anyone the cracks.

I loved the episode. That is how you do a long mystery, with clues everywhere and red herrings and fakeouts and foreshadowing and all that good shit.

Also, just to respond to Tep's "1 dimension" complaint, I really liked that despite the eggings, the feminists were shown doing something really positive by distributing the GHB detection things.

I think I missed something. What was the plot twist?

Didn't Logan say that Mercer was in Mexico with him during one of the rapes? Was that explained? Or was that during the fake rape?

Also -- That guy who tried to pick up Mac by commenting on her t-shirt? Anyone else reminded of The Foreign Guy on Family Guy this past Sunday ("It's funny because it's the opposite!")? OK, just me then.

Didn't Logan say that Mercer was in Mexico with him during one of the rapes? Was that explained? Or was that during the fake rape?

I'm pretty sure that was the fake rape. (Or, wait. No. He was on the radio during Claire's "rape," wasn't it? In Mexico during a different one?)

Much as I'm sad we'll probably not see any more "Weevil and Mars - they fight crime" scenes.

Maybe Moe wasn't so not involved in the actual rapes.
