It was nice to see Wallace get his own storyline.

I find I'm still really annoyed that Veronica's mom has faded from the story completely, after it was such a big thing all the first season. Even if you cut a parent out of your life, it's hard to escape all thought of them.

For that matter, I'd expect Veronica to be more in wonder about thinking she saw Lilly at the rest stop.

I don't think you can do a rubbing on a single sheet, can you?

Depends -- you're trying to shade the portions of paper that aren't indented, so if it's heavily indented, it should work. But what should work best is several layers of the same indentations, which will hold up better to the mild pressure of the shading. But for TV plot purposes, a single sheet should suffice, if the writers want to go that way....

so there's much debate in the VM comm about whether candle guy and reporter guy are one and the same. obviously, they're not, but i am highly amused that washed up on the beach dead guy played Gachnar on Buffy.

that makes one Buffy and one Angel alum in this episode.

Well, CC's an alum of both, too.

I thought (and granted I know nothing and was lost throughout half the story) that Wallace recognized the paper as being the same as the note that was left on Cranky's car. He might have tried to do a rubbing to see if that reporter is the one that hit Cranky's car, I guess. I didn't think of that. I figured he used it to leave the note on the crasher's car, to fake her out in some way.

Which demon was Gachnar?

The Fear Demon. Actual size.

Well, CC's an alum of both, too.

heh. true.

The Fear Demon. Actual size.

"who's the little fear demon?"

OK, that is funny.

Was that CC's voice in the room? If so, how did she manage to escape from whatever shindig Mr. made her go to in order to have rambunctious sex with Logan?

I had the exact same question. And if it wasn't Kendall in the room with Logan, that sort of waters down the impact, to me anyway. Actually I'm confused as to why Veronica and Duncan were in a hotel room in the first place. Did they book a room for the express purpose of TEH SEX? I guess they must have.

Also, ew to V/D sex. I can see why she likes him but compared to Logan he's just.. blah. Those two minutes of hallway conversation with LoVe (heh. yes, I can't resist) had more sparks than the entire rest of the episode with RoboDuncan. And I do think he acted like a dick to her last year - yes, the Donut was confused and frightened, but did it even cross his mind to wonder what she thought happened after the 'rape'? He was just so selfishly, childishly passive-aggressive about it that to me it was worse than Logan's outright mocking. Although I will completely admit that I am probably influenced by the fact that I think Logan is sex on a stick and Duncan is a black hole of boringness.

Finally, yay VM thread! Yay, Nilly watching VM! Now to catch up in the Firefly thread.

PS - I hate Jackie. She's fugly, and the girl playing her is a relatively terrible actress. Although remember when it seemed like the same could be said of Wallace? So maybe there's hope for her.

Actually I'm confused as to why Veronica and Duncan were in a hotel room in the first place.

I'm pretty sure Duncan mentioned in the pilot that he's living in a hotel right now because his parents moved out of town for the duration of the legal proceedings for their role in obstructing Lilly's murder investigation/framing Able Koontz.
