I thought some folks here might find Kretchmer's podcast an interesting read/listen.

What is even happening?
If he asked me I'd say less Logan/Veronica angst, more interaction with other characters.(Actually I'd say less emphasis on Logan/Veronica, whether they are together or apart. I didn't get hooked on the shippiness, and I feel I'm being force-fed it this season)
I would enjoy it, if it were anything compelling. But most of it isn't, and so it does feel like we're being force fed. I compare it to the way the triangles are being handled on The Office, and it just can't hold a candle. This makes me sad, because I know both Bell and Dohring have the chops, and the BBOC factor, where chemistry is concerned.

That podcast was sweet. My wish list isn't much focused on the acting or even usually the directing. It's the writing. It just feels like there's a concerted effort to avoid emotional resonance. I don't think that *had* to be a peculiarity only found in the Lilly Kane case. These actors are really something, and I believe Bell probably is perfect, or as near to it as any other young actor on TV that I can think of. I just feel like they far too often skip over the meat, and not just with V/L, but with all of the characters. I feel like I'm watching a series of vignettes, that could be part of a damned fine serial drama. This past week was the exception, and it felt like my show, again.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I believe Bell probably is perfect, or as near to it as any other young actor on TV that I can think of.
Having also seen her play a combination of scary, manipulative and sociopathic as shit while also being pretty close to dumb as a sack of hammers, at least in terms of knowing what she was up against, on DEADWOOD, I totally agree with you there. She's got SMG's technical chops, but she can project a whole lot warmer (or colder) when she wants to. Caroline D. from WONDERFALLS could give her a run though, I think.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
That's what I call some nice HSQ.
