Oh, I feel awful for Piz. Not least because he really loves her. I really like him! But I think he's her Riley.

One thing that confused me when I thought about it this morning was who was driving the car that hit Sacks and Keith? That never got resolved, right? And doesn't that make it feel like they deliberately left an opening for another movie, i.e. Keith cleaning up the sheriff's department?

One random contrast -- Jason Dohring lost all the baby roundness from his face, which was a little jarring at first, while the guy who played Sacks actually put on some weight, and looked really good, I thought.

Oh! And I was also confused by Weevil joining with the bike gang at the end. Unless that was part of the same "clean up the sheriff's department" storyline, for the future?

First confusion: yeah, I assume it was someone from the Sheriff's department, and it's left open for the books or another movie.

Second confusion: when Veronica visits Weevil in the hospital, she tells him the stoolie said he bought the gun from HIM rather than the Sheriff's department, indicating that he was more afraid of the cops than him, to which Weevil responds, "We'll see what we can do about that." I think we needed a little more to understand that transition, but there you go.

One thing that was bittersweet was how many cast members they brought back -- it was so great to see so many of them, but it sort of sucked when you didn't get enough of some of them.

That said, there were perfect moments, like with Principal Clemmons. That's all I really needed to see with him, but I was really glad he agreed to do it.

I think Logan's Naval career also needed some more explanation -- given his record, I'm just not sure how he managed to sign up, learn to fly jets, fly them in combat, and be promoted to lieutenant in nine years, but he did look cute in the uniform. It was all very Officer and a Gentleman.

I also thought that the last scene with Weevil was a continuation of Veronica's being true to who you are and embrace the mud speech, which makes sense to me, but also pisses me off a little because I liked that they had initially had him grow and change. I would rather have seen him paired up with Keith.

I agree, Lee!

Yes! I wanted that since S3.

My love for Dick Casablancas is undiminished. I mean, I'm all about Weevil, but Dick is so cheerfully and unapologetically himself that I just love him. I didn't the first time I watched the show, until S3 made me a little sympathetic towards him, but on subsequent rewatches, I just thought, "Yup, gotta go with it. Embrace the Dick."

I agree with Lee too.

I watched the VM movie on Amazon and was actually glad I couldn't wait to see it on the big screen, which I'll do when my fellow local 'mallows are back in town.

I was glad because I actually screeched out loud a couple of times and would have embarrassed myself in a crowd.

I loved everything about it, even the change in the theme song which I originally loathed when I heard the separate audio for it. In the film, it was super clever.

Must confess that the main storyline was less interesting to me than the b-story. I hope all the dangling threads end up equally another film.

Having just recently binge watched the entire series, I caught tons of throwbacks. One I did not pin to the series was the "You should only wear this" line. Was that a throwback?

The instant bust around the Clint Eastwood lie was hilarious. I'd have thought it would make V more careful, but NO. Caution, thy name is not VM.

Randomly...love me some Leo!

I expected the Dax Shepherd cameo, but was surprised by Justin Long . I'm going to have to rewatch because I suspect _everyone_ in the background is connected in some way.

I don't think that line was a throwback, bonny. It didn't ring any bells for me, and I just mainlined the whole series again, too.

There was a lot of hand-clapping and "eeeeeee" noises on my couch, too, but S. just nodded and patted my knee. He did enjoy it, though -- he thought it was a lot of fun, and he never watched more than a few episodes of the first season in first run.

Thanks Amy. I'll stop wracking my brain.

Though I can't see it from the non-fan perspective, it does seem like a general crowd pleaser, what with the snark and the whizbang.

Much as I wish he had turned into a good guy, I was charmed by Vinnie's on-going sleezoidness.
