Lame ending to the rape story. Glimmer of a Mac-Wallace-Veronica trio shattered by last Logan scene.

Something is just not right about this season.

milo in being a hater non-shock; it was a fine ending and i dont know what you mean about the mwv "trio," were they gonna hook up or something and i missed it? if not, you forgot piz and that wallace and mac were/are useless, and that vengeful logan is k-awesome, like richie rich crossed with wolverine. IT IS SEASON THREE PEOPLE LET THE PAST GO.

furthermore: dead begley jr!

Pseudonym OTM!

Once again unmoored from the heavy yoke of Roni's (impossible) expectations of do-goodery, Logan can at last return to his tru bad boi roots which is the fundamental appeal of his character -- emceeing bum fights!!

The last two were pretty weak.

For someone who just wanted to have sex without talking to girls, he didn't half bloody go on. Supervillain monologues aside I quite liked it, but I was expecting more episodes where Veronica makes some huge breakthrough and learns something new and weird about the rapes rather than have it go from her making next to no progress at all over 8 episodes to suddenly solving it in the last one.

When you watch this show you are helping support the Church of Scientology :).

terrible ending to that arc.

the dad stuff this season is awful too.

The first season was good, the second season was a decent encore... why not just let this thing die.

― Michael (Oakland Mike), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 07:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Also, why did Veronica just stand there when Logan said, "OMG you don't ever need anything, why is it so *sob*?" Hey, remember that one time, at some point during the last couple episodes, in the parking structure?"

Since Veronica's from the D (er the HW), I will not ever give up on her.

― Andy_K (Andy_K), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 09:02 (seventeen years ago) link

The supervillain monologue was notably bad, yes.

I suppose the odd pacing of this arc was a result of them not knowing whether they were going to have a full season or not.

I'm glad Ed bloody Begley is dead though. And that Logan and V have split; Logan was born to be bad. I have a horrible feeling, however, that she is going to date that Piz doofus - he's worse than Riley.

Bring back Leo the Cop, he was the best.

― Michael (Oakland Mike), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 09:07 (seventeen years ago) link

from bad to just as bad

the scientology thing does make it worse, too. heard about jason bohring, the other week

oh my god you guys are the biggest bunch of cap'n-kill-a-shows I ever met

― Matt Cibula (Formerly, the Haikunym), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 12:24 (seventeen years ago) link

you're right. it was great when they ref'd annie hall this week

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 12:30 (seventeen years ago) link

You guys are worse than TWOP. Someone should take away your opinions.

i just started watching this show with any regularity (it is impossible to come into half-way through the season, i tried the first two years but never understood the arcs at all, and in fact still don't understand a bunch of stuff). it's been good. there is a weird distance in everything though that unnerves me.

― akm (akmonday), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 17:28 (seventeen years ago) link

No one here is thinking about Logan-related slash, ergo we couldn't be worse than TWOP.

I was expecting more episodes where Veronica makes some huge breakthrough and learns something new and weird about the rapes rather than have it go from her making next to no progress at all over 8 episodes to suddenly solving it in the last one.

the show is developing a pattern this way. even during the first season, when she seemed to be making progress, she really wasn't. none of the evidence she collected pointed to the actual killer. there was just a shocking reveal in the final episode. same with season 2. I don't really have a problem with it, but the plotting is kind of schizophrenic.

I fiiinally caught up like 3 wks before hiatus. You have to admit, the scene w/ her running w/ that Fatboy Slim song was brilliantly done (as cliche'd as techno danger-chase scenes are, I have a severe soft spot for good ones).

I hated the way she discovered the 'call-in' show was fake - like, wasn't that patently obvious to everyone involved? Shouldn't she have thought to check phone records from his show?

― milo (milo), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 21:42 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah but she is um EIGHTEEN YEARS OLD, isn't part of the appeal here that she's not always exactly Robo-Holmes?

― Matt Cibula (Formerly, the Haikunym), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 21:46 (seventeen years ago) link

whatever, they've made it pretty clear that she pretty much has super-powers, they oughta try to be consistent

i liked that he was basically an electrohouse dj tho

Milo, do you hate kittens because they evacuate organic waste?

I just started season 1 via Netflix and that's pretty much how she's being portrayed.

they oughta try to be consistent

Sometimes she's right. Sometimes she's wrong. Sometimes she's extremely perceptive. Sometimes she misses obvious points. She's almost exactly like a teenager, albeit one who tends to be much smarter than average.

Though she should've definitely popped up in the middle of the rapist's monologue saying "Save the speeches for Malcolm X..."

― Andy_K (Andy_K), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 02:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Hahahaha I can't even begin to express how inappropriate that was

― less-than three's Christiane F. (drowned in milk), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 08:40 (seventeen years ago) link

YOU DON'T DESERVE MY FUCKING SPEECH!

― Jay (jaymacke), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 14:25 (seventeen years ago) link

And how appropriate is it that her name is Veronica?

He just wanted to get laid....

two months pass...

Logan/11-year-old playing Mario Kart = awww!

― Donkey Kong New York (Lee), Thursday, 15 February 2007 19:20 (seventeen years ago) link

But someone needs to walk me through the O'Dell revelation this week -- what about the car being checked out and the on-the-side Prof. arguing with an hombre?

― Donkey Kong New York (Lee), Thursday, 15 February 2007 19:22 (seventeen years ago) link

remember in that last O'Dell episode the adulterous couple was surprised in the hotel room and went all like "you?"

― Matt Cibula (Formerly, the Haikunym), Thursday, 15 February 2007 19:24 (seventeen years ago) link

O YA.

― Donkey Kong New York (Lee), Thursday, 15 February 2007 21:56 (seventeen years ago) link
