Veronica Mars 3x04 Charlie Don't Surf

[oyceter]

I was half interested and half not, and not really minding the episode until the stupid portrayal of feminists as feminazis came along and reared its ugly head, at which point I averted my eyes out of discomfort.

I hate that the show keeps shoving Veronica between the frat boys/sororities etc. and the feminist protestors; despite Veronica saying she sympathizes with them, I feel like the show is consistently portraying both sides as being unreasonable, and the feminists as being very unreasonable and over-the-top. I cannot even begin to say how much I don't appreciate that.

Ugh.

So that pretty much ruined the entire episode for me.

Otherwise, Logan angsts and I roll my eyes over his angst, Logan and Veronica act like a cute couple and I roll my eyes and ignore them. Dick is a dick again, and I want to slap him on the side of the head. Keith has a weird case with very strange romantic undertones (what was up with the pizza?). Also, was that actress the person who played Kitty way back when in Pretty Woman?

Um. Yeah. I mean, I was entertained, and I will keep watching until the feminist plotline gets so out of hand that I start throwing things at the television, but none of the mysteries seem meaty enough.

I am also really annoyed by how Parker consistently refers to Veronica thinking she had consensual sex to Veronica thinking she was a slut, and that Veronica responded by saying that she was raped and people thought she was a slut too.

A woman who has consensual sex is not a slut!

*snort* Yes, that point does seem to be lost on the creators as well.

Lord, yes, and yes to the contrasting of Parker and Veronica. Grr, as they say. Arrgh.
