Veronica Mars 3x05 President Evil

Sorry, I've been spamming LJ for weeks because I've been so bored at work, despite the busy-ness. And now I am at an airport and want people to entertain me!

Finally! An interesting MotW!

This is going to be short because my laptop is rapidly running out of batteries.

Anyhow, I really liked the MotW with the dean and how skeevy he and his wife were. I feel if you are starting to act out an urban legend, you are probably not doing the correct and morally proper thing. Thankfully, no bathtubs filled with ice were involved.

The Hearst rape mystery still isn't really getting to me, which is very disappointing, considering how well Veronica's rape was handled in S1. But the dun-dun-DUN of Claire's boyfriend was pretty good. Hopefully there will be more Asians on the show now? Please?

And finally: WEEVIL! The whole Weevil-Veronica exchange was excellent, and I snorfled at "Can't you just take my word on it?" and at the two bursting out laughing. Ok, I may secretly be shipping Weevil-Veronica now, which is disturbing my non-VM-fic-reading brain. Also, he really was offended! And I liked this instance of Veronica's lack of trust more than the whole snooping on Logan thing, for some reason. Weevil's reaction to Veronica's news that Logan was were boyfriend was also great.

Lamb! Lamb is snarky! I feel he is almost too clever now, because he really wasn't clever before. Snarky yes, but not necessarily cleverly so.

And Lilly reference!

Agreed. I like the way the show keeps underscoring that Veronica has a really hard time trusting anybody; it makes a lot of sense, given her history, and it makes her persistent low-key total faith in Keith all that much more heartwarming.

I love the Veronica-Weevil relationship, and I am always wanting more screen time for the two of them together, but I'm not 'shipping them at all, largely because (as I said over in Vonnie's LJ) I love the weird tentative dynamic of their relationship as it is: they've done so much for each other, they seem to *get* each other on a sort of fundamental level, they've had each other's backs at the weirdest times, and yet they aren't exactly friends, as either of them would define it. They just don't seem to know what to do with each other, and I really like that unsettled-ness.

Mmm yes, the Veronica-Weevil thing is great. I really doubt that they'd work out romantically (but then, I have great doubts that Veronica-anyone-on-the-show romance will work out well). I don't think I'd ever want to see them get together on the show, but I may hunt down some fic...
