And now I bow to the expert and just go with "what ita said".
'War Stories'
Veronica Mars: Annoy, Tiny Blonde One. Annoy Like the Wind.

Fair enough. I wasn't paying a lot of attention to the fight, I just remember it being kind of amateurish.
I thought it was a nod to the lame Colin Firth/Hugh Grant fights from the Bridget Jones' Diary movies, given the Pride & Prejudice references.
Except, I don't think it was supposed to be funny. It was a really badly staged fight.
Looked like a totally bog standard crap fight betwen two people who don't know how to fight. Completely realistic as far as I was concerend.
I can't believe Logan doesn't know how to fight though. I can't see any son of Aaron Echolls not being able to, and we know Logan has gotten into fights.
I just wanked that their hearts weren't into it. Deep down they don't want to hate each other. When two friends fight it tends to be more about the principle than about drawing blood.
But blood was drawn, somehow. The aftermath looked like that of a better/harder fight.
I don't know why they felt that they had to have the conversation in the nurse's office.
They could have had it just as well while waiting to see the principal -- and I agree, that it didn't make sense that either had drawn blood.
Unless it was from punching the wall.
The lead singer of the Dandy Warhols comes on and sings karaoke, "Love Hurts" by Nazareth.
Wait, what? By Nazareth? Since when? Written by Boudleaux Bryant, best performed by Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris (IMO), covered by Nazareth - which I didn't even know until looking it up just now - but they don't get the "by" credit. Also, I like the theme song and mildly enjoy some of their other tunes (Heroin Is So Passe is kind of cute), but CT-T butchered that song, I thought.
