I was so sure my VM dvds would arrive today - and drat! That did not.

I liked the FBI thing. Although the bit where she walked across the seal was very Sydney Bristowlike.

And was the guy who played the evil Principal the guy who played Cat Willows' Gangster Daddy on csi?

And who played Hendriks? He looked really familiar. (And Hendricks? Oookay.)

I don't watch CSI so I can't answer that, but Bob Gunton played the principal & he does have a CSI credit.

And who played Hendriks? He looked really familiar.

Walton Goggins, Shane from The Shield.

Cat's father (Sam) was Scott Wilson. I know this because he was also George Wilson, the garage owner who kills Jay in The Great Gatsby. (There may have been a little Robert Redford thang in my past. I'm pretty much over it now.)

I didn't realize he was George Wilson in The Great Gatsby - that's excellent.

I'm still watching extras - I just finished the piece about the guest stars. Really good. Plus, the story of how they named Tim Foyle was very funny and I bet, is exactly the sort of thing that happens all the time.

That happens to me a lot when I write. I get so attached to a placeholder name or title I just end up using it.

Watched the deleted scenes this morning and I'm a little bit sad that the storyline with Wallace and Mac didn't work out - because I remember how much we all wanted to see them and they were just never in an episode. (I wonder if they could have played out that story over several episodes instead of having it in one.)

I'm watching season 3 and have just gotten past the episode where the Take Back the Nighters cop to faking the rapes. Glurgh. What bad storytelling.

I've loved Principal Begley Jr. and Patty Hearst as a...Hearst! Gotta love that woman's sense of humor and self-effacement.

I remember comments made here when I could not get the episodes online. If I recall correctly, there was something of an agreement that this wasn't such a great season. Am I disremembering that?

I'm finding VM's moralizing a bit tedious and the primary arc not at all interesting. But there are small moments and minor characters likable.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

Am I disremembering that?

you are not. it was my least favorite of the three. Veronica didn't have a whole lot of redeeming qualities for me and i hated how they dragged Logan's character through facets that were not at all appealing.

we could have done without the new characters too, i thought. they served no real purpose.

Yeah, I've got to ditto all of that tiggy.

Ah well. I'm committed now. Must plow through to the end.

Sigh. But in a way good. Now I won't be sad when I get to the last of the eps.
