oyceter1x04 The Wrath of Con
I continue to enjoy the style of the show, despite not being incredibly interested in the MotW plots. Luckily, the writers are throwing in enough of the Lilly Kane plotline to keep me hooked, and I'm really enjoying seeing more of her every episode.
I'm also increasingly struck by the visual style of the show -- has anyone vidded it yet?? (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yhlee! I am very excited about VMars vids now! This is all your fault!) I love the colors of the show, and I especially love the flashbacks. Yoon mentioned while we were watching that you can always tell when there's a flashback, and it's quite true. The hazy blue-ness of them matches the distance of the memories, makes Lilly dreamier and less real.
That said, I am boggled as to the Lilly friendship, but mostly that is me projecting, as Lilly seems like just the kind of girl who would a) never speak to me and b) scare me to death.
Great. I am starting to be suckered into Veronica/Logan. Wargh. Fine. He's ok when he's not being mean to Veronica, but I shall still sniff the sniff of disapproval. Personally, I still like Wallace out of all the guys, just because he is nice and snarky and wonderfully well-adjusted and normal. Of course, now that I have said this, the next episode is going to end up proving me wrong!
THe MotW wasn't particularly interesting, and it didn't have the good thematic ties to the Lilly plot that the prior two episodes did. Er, either that, or I am too dense to see it. No doubt I shall go back and read other people's reviews and say, "Doh!"
And wow, no wonder Keith is Scary!Detective!Dad with Troy after the other dance.
I particularly liked the chasm between Lilly's cute family videos and the ones that Veronica supplied, especially the comparison between Mrs. Kane berating her in the flashback and extolling her as a paragon of virtue in front of the school. My thought is that Lilly would have laughed herself silly to think of a fountain being dedicated to her.
Still have no idea what Veronica saw in Duncan. Duncan was so lying when he drank for "I am still a virgin" (or "I am not a virgin"... I forget if you drink if you never did it or if you did... hrm).
Veronica's superspy skills are starting to stretch the limits of my belief, as is Keith's willingness to play along, but I will be forgiving just because Keith as a DEA guy was awesome. Also, the part when Veronica enters the game place with a wig was totally taken from Alias. Also also, I rolled my eyes at what Veronica and Wallace were wearing to the college party.
And! The lady who runs the school newspaper is Kevin's old boss from JoA! Yay! Crossover! *ahem*
Anyhow, I continue to be amused, and am quite fond of the characters, who feel very real.
