Veronica should have been as furious with Logan for having Dick as a roommate as she is about Madison sleeping with him.
I don't agree. Logan and Dick have been friends for a long time, Madison is someone he decided to have an intimate relationship with after he knew how Veronica felt about her.
I don't think writing "SLUT" on Veronica's car is silently gloating
Veronica didn't know for a year and a half that Madison was the one who had written that. i still call silently gloating.
She seems way too nonchalant about that and it bugs me.
i've pretty much learned from M.A.D. that this show is incapable of showing us emotional fallout. when i didn't see any kind of angst from Veronica over her newfound feelings for Logan after the hell he'd put her through i knew i was never going to see anything like it.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaand we've come full circle about my complaint. i still don't think the writers should have made it canon that Logan was aware of what Madison had "supposedly" done to Veronica. i say "supposedly" because even though Veronica blames her for drugging her, she had no idea that GHB was in the drink she gave V.
I don't think it's just the drugging though. I think it's that Madison is, was , has been hateful to Veronica. And I think that at least was known to Logan.
Even though I haven't seen last night's episode, I was worried about the info on the television guide combined with the misleading promo. Feministing has taken issue with the episode--which seem to me smacks of lazy writing in regards to the medical issues presented. I'll decide when I get around to watching it.
tiggy, I meant to say earlier that I felt like you did (although I'm a little less frustrated by it, I think) about Logan knowing about Madison being the one to slip Veronica the BHG.
I think one of the comments he made to Veronica's voicemail about him being surprised that someone still thought he had good in him(can't remember exactly what he said right now because i was too busy last night being angry with him for being emo!Logan yet again) was extremely telling about what he thinks of himself.
Yes, I think it was telling, too. Actually, when he was leaving the voice mail was the only time I enjoyed watching the character on screen. I totally believe Logan would be broken hearted over both losing Veronica and knowing he hurt her in this particular way, but the rest of the emo made me yawn. I mean it was hardly different than Veronica's fake!emo, when she and Duncan staged their "break up" in Donut Run. Logan just needed the sad 70s and 80s songs (because sad songs say so much).
I don't think it's just the drugging though. I think it's that Madison is, was , has been hateful to Veronica. And I think that at least was known to Logan.And this is another piece of the difference between Dick and Madison (although I also agree with your point that Dick and Logan have been friends forever, so it's different for Logan to continue that friendship than it is to start up a new relationship/hookup/whatever with Madison well after the fact).
Oh, I didn't read that, Cashmere, but yes! The lazy writing totally pissed me off. The girl Veronica helped this week was slipped RU-486, which is the abortion pill. One of the reasons Plan B aka the morning after pill gets quite exactly so much flak as it does, is because people confuse it with RU-486.
They won't even give you RU-486 unless you are confirmed pregnant. The morning after pill is simply plan B contraception, which won't cause an abortion. Plan B works by preventing ovulation -- it is just oral birth control in a different concentration (although it may prevent implantation and that is a more important line for some people than for others).
I can't remember: did they call it the Morning After pill in the show? I know it's in the title -- but lots of people don't know the titles of tv episodes.

Perzactly! And there is some follow up with RU-486 because of the nature of the procedure. If the pills (there is a combination with this, too) don't work, they have to do a surgical abortion, so it's not like taking a fucking Flinstone vitamin.
I have hot buttons but I think I should watch the ep before I start unloading criticism.

No.
No.
But the CW\'s promotional material did. From the Feministing article:
The CW network\'s promotional material said:
Veronica is hired by Bonnie, a promiscuous classmate, to find out who secretly slipped her the morning after pill, causing her to have a miscarriage.
