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

I don’t get any reason for Keith to work with Lamb at all unless he thinks Lamb was in some way involved with the crash.

Well, Lamb has the sheriff's department's resources (e.g., ballistics) at his disposal. And they've worked together before, albeit unwillingly.

Random odd thought. I think the new mayor has an evil side.

No question. Otherwise, he serves no purpose. Most likely, he's wrapped up in Terrence's gambling scheme (c.f. the argument in the premiere).

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Putting Logan in the cell with his father was, well farfetched. Aaron was so very unsympathetic, although I love leaving the Duncan as murderer option open. How much do I love Keith? His scene with Aaron so yummy!

Keith can do the scary very well. Putting Aaron and Logan in the same cell was far-fetched, but then again, the town lock-up probably isn't that big. Plus, I think Lamb was just being cruel locking them together.

So burning down Logan’s house was pretty badass, but still not impressed.

Not entirely convined Weevil did it, actually. Still think he's being set up, possibly for a gang takeover, but I have to admit, we've seen no real candidates for that role.

Random odd thought. I think the new mayor has an evil side.

He's really my prime suspect for the big manipulator here, although if he arranged for the bus to crash, then the target might not have been Veronica after all -- it might have been his daughter.

Stay with me here:

  • He had no way to know his daughter wouldn't be on that bus, just as no one knew Veronica wouldn't be.

  • Curly was hired to do the job because of the bus stunt. When it all went to Hell (really, either way with both girls surviving) Curly was killed, and it was set up to look like a hit on Veronica. Because really? Everyone would buy it. She is a big shiny distraction.

  • The crux of the matter is Jackie's dad's baseball debts, but beyond that, I don'thave enough information.

  • The class conflicts exaggerated by the the murder Logan allegedly committed spread enough discontent to get a new mayor elected, but they've not gone too deep into that yet.

Oh, and yes, I totally ship Logan and Veronica. Duncan has no chemistry with anybody. I mean, the borderline autism is part of the character, I can accept that, but his BBoC factor is that he's, effectively, a BBoC.

Our wings are not tired.

Yeah, that's the same direction my mind has been spinning. There are an abundance of loose ends. I like that.

Plus, I think Lamb was just being cruel locking them together.

That's the only thing that makes sense. And it led to fun scenes so it's all good.

I think Cliff said pretty much the same thing. Lamb was definitely just being a jackass.

I pegged Gia as the target from the premiere, but I couldn't figure out the right motives.

There are an abundance of loose ends. I like that.

What I like about Rob's plotting is that, for the most part, he's deliberately placing loose ends in strategic places to be tied up at a later time.

I come bearing vid recs:

Naty - Supermarket Sweep

It uses music from Requiem from a Dream, has Fincher-style editing, and portrays Duncan as a scary mofo.

Lady Disdain - Walk Through the Fire

Yes, that "Walk Through the Fire." It's awesome.

Lady Disdain - The Internet Is for Porn

Who knew that's what all the Neptune kids were up to?

Art Crawl!!!

Hmmm, why would Gia's dad want to kill her? Perhaps she has some sort of trust fund from her mother's family that would come to him if she died and HE is in big trouble with gambling debts.

There was a mild disagreement between Woody and Jackie's dad, although we didn't hear it. That's got to be significant. And we don't know a lot about Gia. Specifically, we don't know if she knows something she's not supposed to know, and is willing to use it.

Hey. New board.

Dude, that Walk Through the Fire video really was awesome.
