I really think that Veronica is trying to wrap herself in old!veronica, the one who was popular and successful and didn't have a care in the world.
Yes, this. Thus the initial not-solving-mysteries stance, and wanting her dad to run for sheriff again. She's putting all the pieces back together the way they were before, minus her mom (because she already tried that and failed).
What I love is the way she's slowly getting that you can't "go home again," really. The look on her face seeing Logan come out of that hotel room, the way Wallace was able to draw her into the drug/sports scandal. Sleeping with Duncan seemed almost desperate, as if by taking that step (consciously, on purpose) would cement their relationship, at least.
So, wait. Washed-up-on-beach!guy was the lighting-candle!guy from earlier in the episode, and not the reporter who talked to Wallace?
here are screencaps someone in the VM comm took of the candle lighting guy, the reporter and the washed-up guy.
has anyone else watched the four minutes from the new ep on UPN's site? i don't know why, but it had me yelling "THAT is my SHOW!!!". i haven't really felt that before i watched it. i mean, don't get me wrong. i've been enjoying it, but it hasn't really felt like my show.
Thank God, tiggy.
I felt like my show had returned this week, but not entirely.
tiggy, I'm running out the door, so this is just notice, not a proper thanks. Either the DVDs arrived, or some random woman in your state, who shares your name, is sending me stuff. Thank you thank you thank you!

agreed, P-C. still a few things i had quibbles with, but overall they seem to be finding their stride. not a whole lot differently than last season actually. it took a few episodes for me to fall in love.
you're welcome, Cindy! now go watch and get outta this thread 'til you're all caught up!
Teppy, the conversation with her father (especially, given tv cliches, combined with her whole "bad girl" thing) had that vibe to me. Just the obvious choice (IMO) for "Why you really had to leave". It does kinda seem like a Some Other Show answer, though.
Ha! Joss is complaining about he lack of commmentary in Season 1 VM. Those in glass houses...
What do you mean? Joss did tons of commentaries for the
Buffy
DVDs.
But very little in Season 1. He did the short little commentaries that were on the original VHS release (6 of the 12 episodes). As to the DVDs commentaries for season 1, I think he just did part of the pilot. (More in later years, but not much in Season 1.)
He did full commentaries for both "Welcome to the Hellmout" and "The Harvest."
Oh, and Rob will be posting a commentary for the VM pilot on his website on Tuesday.
