It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

The one thing that I kept thinking about this morning is I don't see how Josh can ever come back home. If he does and they use the video to prove he's innocent, then won't insurance fraud be levied at the family? Or does running out the statute of limitations affect that too?

I'm sad in a way Lamb is gone, because I did enjoy his jackholery for the sake of jackholery. Made for some interesting tv though.

I don't think my complaints with VM really matter in the long run. I'm still more a watcher than a fan. I think I am on board with the dissatisfaction with the lack of emotional resonance.

I like the theories for the killer, but I'm really paralyzed by the not caring very much.

Art Crawl!!!

Well, if there is a statute of limitations on insurance fraud - surely that means he just stays away 'til then and uses the recording to prove that he didn't actually kill his father.

But then, could the recording which shows that he didn't kill his father then be used to make a case against the assistant coach?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yup. There is no statute of limitations for murder.

The evil is this way?

Yup. There is no statute of limitations for murder.

Unless he was charged with aiding a suicide. There may be a statute of limitations on that.

I have a feeling Jack McCoy would indict for murder, and offer man 2 with a recommendation.

At one point, I wondered if Lamb would be killed off, but I figured it would be the final mystery, or something like that. Then, when I heard about Muhney up for other pilots, I just figured he was hedging his bets, in case VM didn't make it back, or that maybe he was not happy with how little screen time he got. I never expected him to die this soon. I was so surprised.

I was stunned. When Lamb got hurt I guessed that Keith was going to be made sheriff -- at least on a temporary basis -- because Lamb couldn't serve and none of the deputies look ready for promotion. I was all gleeful about Keith and Veronica ending up on opposite sides and how great that would be for dramatic twists and turns. And then Rob went and killed Lamb off. I was just stunned. It was very Jossian to me.

What is even happening?

It was. In one sense, it was a little lacking in power, because it happened off screen. I mean, I thought he was dead at the house, and then we heard he was in ICU, or whatever. In another sense, I assumed he'd make it, and then Keith got the phone call, and boom.

Also, where the holy heck have you been? I wanted to email you, but I no longer have your address. I was all set to ask CB if she'd heard from you, lately.

Good point. One of the complaints I have about VM is that it has great ideas but sometimes the execution and follow-through are not as great. A bit more build-up about Lamb would have been nice. Although, if I recall correctly, RT said that when the CW did not order a full 22 episodes this year, some of the stories got a little rushed/compressed.

I am whupped. As for CB, she had better be studying for next week's bar exam. (She tells me she is. She has that crazed I-can't-friggin'-believe-I-am-taking-the-bar-exam tone in her voice that I have come to know so well.)

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

That was a pretty rockin' ep. It was nice to see Logan be normal again.

Though they didn't tackle the biggest cliffhanger of all: Dick's marriage!
