veronica mars

shall we?

UPDATE: you can listen to mike doughty's gorgeous song "i hear the bells" over here (it's number 8). the song was featured in the episode. i've managed to never listen to any of doughty's stuff before, but that is all changing!

bullet point style!

  • it seems pretty clear by now that woody is some sort of molester and that lucky was perhaps a victim of his. this doesn't explain the female hooker, but i suppose it's also possible that lucky has a female relative that has been victimized by woody.

  • i'm guessing that meg was given chlamydia by lucky in some bizarre manner, and meg passed it on to duncan, who unknowingly passed it on to veronica. that or else logan has chlamydia and he is so smolderingly hot that he can have sex with you just by looking at you. wouldn't that be an awesome super power.

  • did not need to see wallace have the sex.

  • i had floated some weird theory earlier in the week about gia and jackie having conspired in some weird way to do the bombing because they had possibly found out about their fathers having a relationship. maybe the bomb was intended for their fathers while they were at the stadium but was mistakenly delayed and instead went off on the bus, and the students weren't victims at all. but not so sure about jackie and gia being evil after this episode or having been able to carry that guilt throughout the season. i am, however, leaning more towards the theory that the whole bus crash was just an accident and any bomb was meant for somebody else.

  • leo is teh cute. "in a tough, mumbly way." heh.

  • ok, the school shooting in the previews? PLEASE NO? it is so cliched...but i still trust rob thomas. lucky will presumably end up committing suicide or shot by the police. jackie, dead? i could deal. my hope is that logan will, in a moment of terribly cliched heroism, take a bullet for veronica and she'll reaffirm her love for him while he's on his deathbed a la anne of green gables with gilbert and the scarlet fever. because...

  • PLEASE GOD LET THEM GET TOGETHER. they are so goddamn hot together in every scene. it's gotta happen or my head will explode.

  • Comments

    oh yeah, about meg and lucky - i wouldn't be surprised if the baby is his and not duncan's. but i would hope, even if that is the case, that duncan never ever comes back to the show!

    from an IM convo with amanda, my fellow VM obsessee:

    i have to tell you it would be great if lamb and keith work together to figure out the link btw manning and lucky, what with lamb's hatred of mr manning for abusing his daughter

    it should happen, right? we've all got a little lamb love in our hearts.

    It was TEH AWESOME.

    I yelled at gettin' busy Wallace and Jackie, "why aren't you V and Logan?!?" all anguished.

    That song is on the V. Mars soundtrack, which is start-to-finish excellent.

    Except maybe the song by the Faders from the last prom. But I secretly like that, too.

    I've been listening to "I Hear The Bells" and "Sway" back to back all morning.

    One thought I had driving in to work: Terrence is in a mental hospital, right? So why is he always in bed?

    Posted by: Amanda on April 26, 2006 10:12 AM

    I thought he was in a regular hospital cuz he got shot breaking into Naima's house?

    You're probably right Kathryn.

    Aww, Jackie and Wallace are kind of goopy, but they're aight.

    So what's up with giving V the clap? It didn't factor into the ep at all. By next ep, it'll presumably be all cleared up.

    Posted by: Kriston on April 26, 2006 12:55 PM

    i think the clap's a clue - i said above: "i'm guessing that meg was given chlamydia by lucky in some bizarre manner, and meg passed it on to duncan, who unknowingly passed it on to veronica."

    Posted by: catherine on April 26, 2006 01:54 PM

    That, and the real reason she ran out on Logan. "My course of antibiotics isn't complete yet! We can't reuinte now! I've still got the clap!" Or at least, in my mind.

    TWOP is surmising that Duncan slept with Big Ho Kendall, but I think the Meg/Lucky scenario, or at least, the Meg/Somebody scenario, is much meatier. But I wouldn't frown on a story line that makes Veronica write Duncan off forever.

    Posted by: Amanda on April 26, 2006 01:59 PM

    I thought the clap was gonorrhea.

    yglesias clearly knows his stds better than we do!

    Ygglz is right. Sorry to hear that, bro.

    Posted by: Kriston on April 26, 2006 04:31 PM

    I also think the chlamydia's a clue. And Cassidy's reluctance to fool around with Mac. Some sort of child sex ring involving Meg's dad and Woody?

    Posted by: BQ on April 26, 2006 04:49 PM

    the thing i don't understand about the chlamydia is that...it's so easily treatable. right? so like beaver could have gotten it treated soon and it wouldn't have been a problem to have sex with mac later.

    i also wanted to say, i think jackie might be a goner. that's the only reason i can think they emphasized that terrible sex scene so much otherwise.
