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.
I wear the cheese. It does not wear me.

"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!

Because books.

I agree, P-C. She's a detective, and she's using a tried and true ruse to get something she needs.
It might also be telling, in terms of how she perceives seduction, and girls who aren't her.

the worst sort of JAP stereotype
Weird that it didn't ping me at all. Maybe because you so rarely see the JAP stereotype on television that playing it was almost fresh. Also, they only played the Jewish aspect to use the rabbi reveal. Otherwise the girlfriend!fiancee could have been any Caucasian ethnicity.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
One of my problems with VM so far -- and I've only watched the first four episodes, so maybe it gets better -- is that it's pretty much stereotypes are us: the wacky black sidekick, the vato with a heart, the one rich kid who's not so bad. Was really grating on me.
Gonna give the second disc a try, soon. Please assure me it gets better.

I assure you, it gets better.

I double assure you. Especially about the wacky black sidekick part. I was wary of that too, but Wallace is probably one of the most beloved characters on the show now. I can't think of anyone who actually doesn't like him.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Victor, it does get better. I had those same problems, plus I have serious issues with Veronica herself, and I stopped watching after three or four eps. People here convinced me to give it another shot, and now I am glad I did.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
It didn't feel (to me) like something she would do and it irritated me.
Ah. See, I saw it as exactly the kind of thing she would do. Veronica's kind of cheerfully amoral about her cases, really.

Thanks for the re-assurances. Will be giving it a second chance soon.
