Yeah, it was a long time ago. Now they have the Gold Box thing. And the A9 discount, which I fucking didn't keep up when I actually needed to use it. Must remember to keep it active.

From Ask Ausiello (TVGuide.com) via Whedonesque:

Question: Did Joss Whedon mention Charisma Carpenter being on Veronica Mars while you were interviewing him? Is there any chance the rift between them has healed? — Lara Du Pres

Ausiello: Yes, he discussed Charisma and yes, I think we can assume from his comments that the rumored hatchet has been buried. This is what he said when I asked him why he thinks Charisma keeps getting cast as bitchy sexpots: "She looks the part, let's face it. She's a stunner, she's voluptuous, she's got that sort of air about her. But she's not that person at all… I mean, Cordelia was that person until we said, 'Let's see the other side.' She can just sort of take that and hit it out of the park, and then if you need to get in deeper, there's more there. Whether or not they're going to show that [on Veronica Mars] I don't know, although that is sort of Veronica Mars' benchmark. It's their staple that the person you think you know perfectly is more textured."

Well, my VM dvds arrived and they're in that completely annoying format in which you constantly have to touch all the dvds to take one out -- you know like the Lost dvds. And you really have to bend the dvds to get them out as well. I suppose all the new WB dvd sets are going to be like this.

H. Richard Casablancas? His first name is something other than Richard and he CHOOSES to go by Dick? Dear lord.

Ooh. I like the non-Veronica-centered Duncan/Logan confrontation. Excellent.

Jackie and Lily would have either gotten along like a house on fire, or gotten into a KICKASS fight!

Jackie IS a bit of Lilly redux, isn't she?

Mac-sighting in the preview! Woo-hoo!

Good episode. Dick Sr. fleeing the scene and the reveal of the stunt-guy were both well-done, although I think there'll be more to the latter than some hero-worshipper-with-a-grudge. And both Duncan/Logan and Veronica/Logan confrontations were great.

Uh-oh. Alicia with a dark past? Can't one decent mother figure on the show remain untainted?

It's like he's got Mom issues instead of Joss' dad issues.

And, random note: if you were an employee somewhere and your boss started running through going "Shred everything!" what would you do? Because my first instinct would be to run away, not to start shredding anything. Unless I knew shit, at which point it might be to go meet the cops and offer to plea for a reduced sentence...

I would definitely not shred anything, let alone everything.

I wasn't watching last year, but, damn, is a lot happening fast.

Poor Beaver.

MY SHOW!!!! sorry for the asscaps, but this episode was definitely the episode to convince me that RT isn't going to disappoint me with Veronica-wannabe-version-1.0.

the confrontations between Logan/Duncan and Logan/Veronica is exactly what i've been waiting for. i think Logan may have broken me with his "i hate him too, you know" comment.

snarkfests that rival V/L? V and Sheriff Lamb. "it means you're an adult now, kiddo!" "well...that makes one of us." hahahaha...

Pride and Prejudice 600 pages? My Norton is 250!

ETA: I mean, great episode!
