Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

He's upstanding, smart, and nice.

I so disagree. His treatment of Veronica last year wasn't nice.

I understand that her getting back together with Duncan is an attempt to return to normalcy, and the last time she remembers being "normal" is pre-Lilly's death, when she was dating Duncan.

But I can't get past the fact that Duncan is the guy who, when he slept with her all roofied up, STILL BELIEVED SHE WAS HIS SISTER. Just....not enough ick in the world. I don't think I could get past that to get back together with someone.

t edit I realize that the roofie sex was PRE-last season. I wasn't citing that as an example of Duncan treating Veronica badly last season. I was just citing it as an example of Teh ICK.

Hey. New board.

Doesn't bother me, Tep. I can see why it might bother a lot of people, but I guess I actually have a pretty mild incest squick. They weren't raised together, he only found out she was his (half) sister weeks before the party, he was on majorly judgment-reducing drugs, they used protection, and he went insane about it afterwards. I wouldn't sleep with my half-sister, but I can easily forgive Duncan for doing so in this case, since I doubt his mind was even processing it as such by any means.

I'm with Gris on the mild squick on that one, but I'm not so sure that Veronica would be. I get that she's probably only going out with Duncan for normal!points, but sleeping with your sister isn't exactly normal.

I'm with Steph in the ick corner.

Lone Star comment & spoiler:

You know, after Lone Star, I think I've just about got over the ick factor of sibling luv. I found that movie really disturbing and I didn't get over it for awhile. After I did get over it, I'm not nearly as creeped out. It's like a mortician seeing their 5th dead body.

OMG. I can't believe that's Steve Guttenberg.

What is even happening?

Benjamin inadvertantly deleted the S2 premiere. The one I didn't get to record until last night. The one I hadn't yet even had a chance to mark "keep until I delete", never mind watch or transfer to tape.

You rock, tiggy. Thank you. I'll put up a request in When Come Back.

But I think I'll wait 'til tomorrow. I was ridiculously sad that the episode was deleted. I made Ben feel pretty guilty, too (not intentionally--that was just the fallout).

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Just saw the premiere.

Veronica really needs to meet some new boys. Especially if she's going to be unable to stay single for very long. Because Watchword-boyfriend Duncan...I like to think she could do better.

As far as the mystery? Ok. Sure. Not sure I like that Lilly saved Veronica, but, whatever. I'm hoping that Veronica and Weevil will make up properly (Which, I suppose, basically means that she clears him for the bus-breaking), and the watchword changes. I don't like her with the 09ers
