oyceter3x02 My Big Fat Greek Rush Week
Ahhhh! The entire Keith subplot makes much more sense as I remember that S2 ended with Kendall opening a briefcase. I must have missed it on the previouslies last week.
And the first arc gets kicked off! Veronica and Mac's guilt, even if partial, with regard to Parker's rape was painful, particularly considering the two girls' not-so-great sexual histories. I also wanted to kick Lamb in the nuts for the "false alarm" comment. And I wanted to kill Parker's mother for telling her daughter she was immature and not ready to leave home. Yes, personal issues speaking here...
Veronica in the sorority wasn't quite that fun, though I suspect this isn't the last we're going to see of the sorority, despite their apparent innocence. Did the question of why the security camera was in the den mother's room ever come up?
And to join to list of people I wanted to hit is driver girl. Yes, I get the antipathy, but to just go blame the girls really pisses me off. Thankfully, I bet the show will somehow address this later.
I like it when I trust a show enough to pick up threads or to not make stupid misogynistic or racist statements!
It also looks like the show is going to start using "frak" so they can swear! I was very amused by the introduction and definition of the word last week.
The entire Logan-Wallace subplot completely bored me, given that I have learned about Zimbardo's Stanford prison experiment and Milgram's various experiments several times in psych class. I felt like it was sort of cheating to have only one guard character be nasty (Gah! The anti-Semitism! Gack!) as a way make characters we liked less complicit. Also, I totally don't get how it ties in with everything else, unless it was supposed to be some commentary on the sorority group mindset?
And very abused prisoner kid is much, much forgiving than I would be. Maybe this will have more things to do with a mystery further down the line.
Poor Keith, always being disbelieved by sheriffs! And oh, I loved his scene with Veronica so much! I'm also looking forward to more Fitzpatricks and the plot continuing to thicken.
Still no Weevil, woe.

Fri, Oct. 13th, 2006 05:34 pm (UTC)I did like that Wallace extracted correct information by trickery when the anti-Semitic guy got wrong information by force, as a major point that the anti-torture people have been hitting is that torture tends to make people say anything-- but not necessarily the truth. Whereas non-torture interrogation, performed by skilled operators, is pretty good at getting the truth. Unlike the "slippery slope" theory, I'm pretty sure the "torture does not even work" theory is a point the VM writers were making deliberately.
