"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Wouldn't any normal woman - after finding out he was seeing a rabbi - have stopped Veronica's investigation there?

Hey. New board.

Wouldn't any normal woman - after finding out he was seeing a rabbi - have stopped Veronica's investigation there?

I certainly think so. I think they were trying to make a point about the stupidity of constantly suspecting those you love of badness, and how the very suspicion can get you in trouble, or something like that. Though I guess I see the point of that, I would have gotten more pure emotional satisfaction out of a much longer build to the rabbi reveal, and her stopping the investigations with that. But that's because that scene really pinged me personally, right now in my life, for various reasons, and so had much more emotional effect on me than it probably should've.

Plei, I actually remember your comments, and see your point, now that you mention the adults. I sort of forget they exist sometimes, except for Keith. I guess Mr. Casablancas is the only Bad Adult Male we've seen, yet, who hasn't been given at least a throwaway backstory to help explain his badness. As for Lilly, well, yeah, again, I have to say I see your point. I think we're supposed to see her as a Logan-type, though, only we don't get the time to see the inner depth or whatever because, you know, dead.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

at the same time, I wonder if the woman really loved her BF. It kind of seems like she didn't because she kept pushing and pushing. She gave him up too easily.

Yeah, there were definitely fun points to the episode, but overall it was kinda eh.

I suppose not every episode can be perfection.

But I'm just bitter that Amazon took four days to even SHIP my DVDs I just ordered of 1st season, god knows when I'll actually get them!

Art Crawl!!!

Oh, I totally think that this week's mystery was totally to point out to Veronica how easily she was slipping into the same mode.

Strawberry disappointment.

How about the guy who strangled people with guitar strings. Or the Russian mafia guys, or the Sheriff? Or the teacher that diddled his pupils? Just off the top of my head.

I just saw this week's episode and in general I agree with overall meh-ness of it. I am enjoying the Duncan and Veronica interaction. Both the couple-y sleeping over though not necessarily having the great sex and the pulling back on full out spying on Duncan in spite of his Meg hospital stalking. I also just liked the overall teenage truthfullness of having everybody sneaking out (aside from Duncan) to do things behind nosy parents' backs at 3am. Then again I grew up on Army bases so perhaps I am over relating. It was pretty silly that Mac had make-up on though.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

I'm so glad that the co-ed scene pinged other people, too. I'm watching it right now and cringing and being all "Where's that Veronica Mars show that I like?".

Back to the episode.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Lilty! I got your postcard! Thank you!

Also, I don't know why the coed scene is so ping-y for people. Veronica's pulled that act numerous times in the past to get information from guys.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

I can't put my finger on it. Maybe it's that it didn't feel like she was doing it to get information, she was doing it to trap him. It didn't feel (to me) like something she would do and it irritated me.

And, you're very welcome! Last week I was cleaning and finally got around to emptying my knapsack from the trip, and lo and behold! Everyone's postcards!
