Woo good episode. So much to love.
Why couldn't Mac be the other female in the opening credits instead of Yackie? Anyone think Mac and Beaver would make a cute couple? I know they've never interacted like ever but they seem like they would work. Beaver deserves someone to love him and I want to see more Mac.
I cracked up at the whole scene with Clemmons and Butters. And Clemmons seemed so proud that his son had girls over. Hee
This is one of the first smaller MotWs in a while and it was very well done. I liked seeing both Veronica and Keith involved and sort of seeing both the adult and kid aspects of it. Also they did a good job with the gay storyline. I found it pretty realistic and its nice to see that some shows can do a gay storyline without the stereotypes and without backing away from it.

The gay kid did all the harrassing except for the final bus and the security code on the stationary, which I assume was the father, trying to frame the school. At least, that's what I got.
That's what I got too.

I actually really like the Mystery of the Week this week. It was interesting, with multiple levels. And! We got to see Butters again. That's fun.
I agree.

Yay! Logan reacted like a human being in the Russian Roulette scene! I love it when that happens. I like action movies, but everybody acts so tough, sometimes it just gets boring. It's good to see someone who's actually scared while being tormented. Also, Veronica in the River Stix! Yay for acting human!
I loved how they did those scenes for those exact reasons too. I'm really glad the actors/writers decided to go for the vulnerable human angles because these are still teenagers. And I thought it was very in character for Logan because his tough guy thing is really mostly show. I was also relieved to see Logan caring about himself, he's been worrying me. And its also nice to see Veronica be caught for once because realistically it was bound to happen sometime and I love that this show doesn't make her all mary-sue and when she's in a situation that's a tiny 18yr old girl versus a bunch of big thugs she is scared and can't kick all their asses.
And Jason Dohring and Kristen Bell were outstanding in both their scared scenes. They both made me feel scared for them. Golden Globes I hope you are paying more attention to this show than those stupid Emmys did.
That doesn't get said enough. If I didn't totally love my own dad and Keith wasn't you know a fictional character, I'd want Keith to adopt me. And his relationship with Veronica is actually tied in my heart with Sydney and Jack from Alias. Enrico Colantoni is also awsome. I really hope the Golden Globes are watching but sadly I doubt they are.

Weevil got a new dead horse to beat! YAY! I hated that his character was so very one note. This season, anyway. Although, since I kind of saw the whole PCHers getting away from Weevil coming, it's not that interesting.
I was proud of Weevil for finally listening to Veronica. Of course he figured out that somethings wrong in his gang seven episodes after Veronica and all of us did but at least he finally opened his eyes. I'm glad he's finally going somewhere instead of complaining about those rich white boys. Hopefully more Weeves and Logan slashy undertone scenes coming soon!

HEE! The principal's name is Moorehead. Hee!
And we finally see the mysterious acutal principal. Whose name is almost funnier than Big d**k's (that is seriously what the scripts call Mr. Casablancas. Rob really has some 12 yr old boy in him and I love it) I wonder if Mr. Moorehead (hehe) has any idea what really goes on in his school or if he sits around in that fancy office while Clemmons gets to be driven insane by Veronica.

Yay, Mac was back! It's good to see Veronica with a friend who's a girl. And her incredulous look when V. pretended they were there to see Butt- er, Vincent because Mac had a crush on him. Hee!
Did she? I thought it was that look cause she had no idea what Veronica was doing. But this show is smarter than me and I tend to miss a lot.

Well, whatever WAS on that letter was enough to blow Duncan away. (I loved the two dream sequences. Now I know why they've been showing Duncan and V. in bed so much. It's so they could pull that! And I fell for it.) Maybe Meg is a BabyMommy and that letter was from her BabyDaddy? Very Soap Opera, though.
I really am wondering WTF is going on with Duncan. I've been going with the theory that's been going around some time about Meg having an abortion. It would make a lot of sense because we know Meg was a virgin from LaV and that she'd be the type of girl whose first time would be important to her making her behavior toward Veronica more in character and understandable. And if she had an abortion then it would be a secret possibly kept on that laptop that she wouldn't want her strictly religous and scary parents to find out and it could also be the reason they were doing that stuff to Grace. They found out Meg had sex and Lizzie beign Lizzie and they wanted to make sure Grace would stay pure or something. And then that letter could be some pregnancy test results or something. I also get the impression that Meg and Duncan had sex they were in bed together in his dream (which I totally fell for too.) I'm not sure my explanation for the letter fits but I really hope this plot involves Duncan somehow because Duncan needs to be involved in something and it would make the secret pertain to Veronica. I also have a feeling that that radio thing about Duncan having to have some kind of dark secret was foreshadowing (a little bit of obvious foreshadowing but still)
I really loved the dream sequences too. He really has some messed up subconcious. I've been trying to figure out what they mean. The first one shows Meg looking angelic and in need of him and Veronica is shown as a harsh mistress or something. Seems Veronica 2.0 is a bit intimitading to him. I wonder if Duncans been holding on to some ideal Veronica 1.0 and now that he's got Veronica back she's not that same innocent Veronica 1.0 and can take care of herself, and his thoughts are turning back to innocent Meg who needs "saving". I don't know just a theory. I'm also interested in this "time at the beach" it seems important for some reason. I'm really rambling now and I'm not sure if I make a bit of sense.
