Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

The lab assistant guy? Where might I have seen him before?

He was on Night Stalker, last season (briefly, before it disappeared).

Plus, the LoVe angst is beginning to seem contrived.

Oh, my gosh, yesthis! I'm sorry, but I'm just not that interested in them anymore.

I know that actor who played Bronson (honestly, Bronson? That poor kid with his cruel, cruel parents) from somewhere but damned if I remember from where.

Wasn't he on Invasion? And I think I've seen him elsewhere as well.

Yes, he did a stint on Invasion, and IIRC, was also the gunman in one episode of Standoff this season.

Landry as murderer: Why would he copy Veronica's paper exactly, knowing that Veronica would undoubtably find out about the circumstances of the Dean's death, making it easy for her to point the finger at him since he read the paper?

Wasn't Landry in the habit of posting "A" papers? I know he did it at some point. So, if the paper was posted, and depending on where, ANYBODY, or at least anybody from the class, could have used it as a template. (Whoa, comma abuse).

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.

Yes, this.

Who's to say he won't fall in love with the next monkey, too?

Yes, clearly SOMEONE should transfer out of BioChem and into, well, Botany.

See, I thought that Keith was intentionally clunky and obvious in the bar, to give Landry the impression that he (Keith) wouldn't be an investigative threat.

Oh, I like this.

Art Crawl!!!

Epic! Thank you - he was the photographer.

Yes. Now that my memory is flowing, I remember his character was called Jayne, and we all wondered if it was a shoutout.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Yes, clearly SOMEONE should transfer out of BioChem and into, well, Botany.

We have a friend who's a steadfast vegan who is getting her PhD in Bio-engineering, where she doesn't have to do animal dissection or research at all. There was almost an issue where they tried to make her teach animal surgery, which would have been all dissection, all the time, but they moved her out as soon as they understood the depth of her convictions.

So yeah, there's related fields this guy might be much happier in.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

And even if there were no membership x-over, I can't believe that a publicity-oriented group like PHAT would have missed some of the things that have been in the student and local papers concerning Veronica (the failed pot bust, the rapists being identified last episode, etc.).

Yeah, when Veronica tried to get away with joining PHAT my estimate of the school's size was revised upward by a few thousand students. A school with 1600 or so students? She could have no confidence that no one in the room would know she's a reporter who went undercover.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

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

Nope. I posited a similar theory myself.

Wasn't Landry in the habit of posting "A" papers? I know he did it at some point. So, if the paper was posted, and depending on where, ANYBODY, or at least anybody from the class, could have used it as a template. (Whoa, comma abuse).

I know he posted Veronica's paper when she was the only one in class to get an "A". I can't recall if he makes a regular habit of it, though.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

In "Spit and Eggs," Tim invited Veronica in to take a look at her perfect murder paper for spelling/punctuation errors before he posted it (and the other two A papers) online.

It's tough because the three biggest suspects seem like giant red herrings. Mindy wouldn't ask Keith to uncover her own murder just so she could get life insurance, and Hank and Tim are not dumb enough to brazenly use Veronica's paper to commit a murder when they know that would immediately draw her suspicion.

So I stand by Cervando.

What is even happening?

It's tough because the three biggest suspects seem like giant red herrings. Mindy wouldn't ask Keith to uncover her own murder just so she could get life insurance, and Hank and Tim are not dumb enough to brazenly use Veronica's paper to commit a murder when they know that would immediately draw her suspicion.

The only thing that makes me doubt this line of reasoning is that this is a very short mystery -- the shortest we've had so far.

So I stand by Cervando.
If it's not Cervando (with a SpyPen, in the Sally --ew, that needs work), then I'm wondering if Chip Diller won't come into play. I was surprised to see him with Logan and Dick.
