I'm kind of ticked at Veronica for not turning in Monkey!Boy. Fine if he wants to ruin his own shot at a PhD, but taking his colleague along with him? Not cool. I don't care how cute the monkey is.

Kind of Meh, and agreed that Veronica/Logan is Too Soon. (Also, it's not believable how clueless Logan is about Piz. Veronica is a complete catch and Piz's crush is palpable. Oh yeah, and Logan has anger problems.)

I didn't think Logan was clueless in that last scene. He placed Veronica's tray down in a very territorial way, and the last look on his face made it seem to me that he'd finally caught on. I think Veronica has, too. I knew she was thinking about Logan during her big discussion with Piz, the night before, though.

I wouldn't be tired of the roller coaster if we got the thrill of the ride. I'm tired of getting on the roller coaster right after the first hill, and being forced to exit at the top of the second. Like Amy, I was ready to dip a toe in a Piz/Veronica pairing.

Yeah, Keith assuming Landry wouldn't know him was ... kind of less smart than Keith is supposed to be, which is annoying. Which I just typed as assnoying. Huh. Could be a word I might use.

I love assnoying.

I felt Keith was totally off his game in that entire scene. It nearly had me watching from the hall. I like the fanwank I'm reading, about Keith being clunky on purpose. I shall take it to my bosom.

I was so glad to have the show back last night though, and really enjoyed the episode. I felt a weird (we watch too much TV) kind of guilt though, because it's not my big TV love any more. It's like when you have a boyfriend, but you feel a mutual attraction with new cute boy, and it's not even that you don't like the boyfriend any more, it's just that you can't stop thinking about the other boy. The Office is my total other boy.

I'm glad Veronica didn't turn in the boy for rescuing the monkey.

I LOVE Mac's new boy. Hope he doesn't turn out to be evil. I liked Parker last night. I loved Canada -- that's the sort of thing my roommate and I would have done.

Lucky is my early guess in the who killed O'Dell sweepstakes. It's probably not him, but his big, overly dramatic, staged scene at the frat in episode 9 didn't fit with the rest of that episode. I sort of don't think Landry killed O'Dell. I would think if Mrs. O'Dell killed O'Dell, she'd be willing to give up the insurance money to escape a murder conviction, but crime makes you stupid.

Where's Wallace?

Fine if he wants to ruin his own shot at a PhD, but taking his colleague along with him?

How does Veronica turning him in or not affect the colleague? Do you mean because they need to start over with a new monkey? If Veronica turned him in, would they still be able to use the same monkey? I'd think that having it outside the lab for a week might taint it in some way.

Oh, and I forgot..."Ed Argent" cracked me up. I wonder if they tried to get Ted Nugent, or if he's just too crazy to bother with.

I did expect Mac to have some more knowledge on animal rights activism. Her mother said she was a 'freakball vegan' in season 1. She went on a pizza-eating tour of town with Cassidy in season 2, so unless Neptune is overrun with places that make vegan pizza, I'm willing to handwave her veganism to vegetarianism, and assume her mother doesn't understand the difference, but still...

Finally, and unrelatedly, the, "Because monkeys are delicious," made my husband choke.

I assume the old monkey is tainted, too. Still, turning him in gets the colleague a measure of justice. She just had some period of her professional life stolen from her. It also removes any suspicion that she may nave been negligent in allowing the monkey to be stolen. Finally, it removes a guy who doesn't belong in the lab from the lab. Who's to say he won't fall in love with the next monkey, too?

I think it would be out of character for Veronica to care about the integrity of the lab. Veronica has been consistently portrayed as an animal lover, and she's a marshmallow, in general.

She would probably want boy!scientist to pay if he'd taken the monkey in order to ruin his collegues academic standing. I wouldn't have bought her turning him in once she found out he was a big bowl of mush that couldn't bear to kill his friend, the monkey.

I think she also naively assumed the whole thing was over, with regard to the monkey, because she looked shocked when the surpervising professor mentioned ordering a new one.

Yes, she definitely did.

I just keep trying to come up with scenarios where the monkey is the Dean's murderer.

I just think that Keith is too savvy to be that obvious. I have a hard time believing that he didn't at least google Landry, which would have turned up Landry's book on profiling, which would have given Keith an idea that Landry would be more on the ball than the usual perp.

Seriously, am I the only one who thinks that Keith totally played Landry?
