Sigh, so I Guess This Icon Wasn't a Spoiler After All :( Anyhoo, I'm trying to get my Logan/Veronica analysis done earlier and I did it this week, so yay. This is for the upcoming episode breakdown for The LoVe Shack. Enjoy.

You compared the way Keith interrogated Logan with the way he interrogated Troy - based on his intentions and all. So I see no problem in comparing Keith's decision to have a dinner with Logan, especially considering he obviously didn't have a dinner with Logan the first time around. I think Keith didn't see him as a serious part of Veronica's life then in the same way he didn't see Duncan like that. With Troy and Logan the second time around I think Keith could see how much Veronica had invested herelf in the relationship so it is comparable.

I think I took the marks comment like I did because it ties in with the way she insulted Logan's intelligence/dedication in the last episode. Veronica does disapprove of the way Logan behaves academically, it's been portrayed in past episodes - she made several comments about it in the episode right before this one. There was also a slight reference in 2.17 with Logan "plagiarising" Easy Rider. I do think she was trying to protect Logan, but that instinct to protect him from Keith's attack stems from the faults she sees in him. I don't think she's evil or that she's ashamed of him but I do think they are going to have problems if she won't let Logan be himself when he's around her dad. She's anxious and obviously doesn't want Logan to be upset by an interrogation but if she keeps cutting in over and over again, I just wonder if Logan won't get a bit annoyed that she won't be entirely honest about how he's doing because of what Keith's reaction migh be. It's a mixture of both: she knows Keith but she also knows Logan and apparently mixing them is bad.

I do think she genuinely loves Logan that's why she's trying to make Keith's perception of him positive. But I also think she's aware of all of Logan's faults and I guess I don't like the feeling I get when I watch her deflecting Keith's attention away from them.

My comparison was about that's what VERONICA thought. Keith arranged the dinner, and in her experience when Keith arranged to talk to her beaus, it was bad news. I think Keith genuinely wanted to get to know Logan better.

And the high scores things was soooooooooooo different from last week. She was trying to be a bitch last week. Here, she knew that Logan got bad grades (which we're all assuming he did), but she was latching onto what he did do well. He tested high. She knew that and she was touting it. If Logan DID get bad grades, not wanting Keith to know isn't a bad thing. She probably figures that Keith already suspects that, so instead, she's all "Hey! He had really high scores! Woohoo!" She wasn't saying Logan is dumb, dad. She was avoiding a topic that she knew was negative (his bad grades) to spotlight proof of his intelligence.

I just don't see any bad in how Veronica handled things.
