DAMN YOU ROB THOMAS!!!!!!!!
I've been reading about 2.11 of 'Veronica Mars.' I'm a little annoyed.
Seems like Duncan gets to be a fucking hero (I make no apologies for any profanity that may be in this post. It is all warranted).
He and Veronica don't even break up properly. He says "I love you" she says "You better."
Then he leaves with his daughter, who he has named Lilly (gag!). Rides off into the fucking sunset.
Ok so she doesn't say it back. And I hope when I actually get to see it she'll look...well...you know...like she doesn't reciprocate.
But still. FUCK!!!!
Here is my main problem with Duncan. He has been written badly all season 2. Really badly. Most people hate him. Couch Baron over at TWoP said, "This character sucks!"
So why do you go and make him a hero when you know that it is going to make the majority of the fandom really pissed off?
He has acted like a tool all season. Mostly I blame the writers, but Teddy Dunn deserves some of the blame for failing to convey any subtext.
I hate Veronica when she is with Duncan. She is stupid with him. She lets things slide that she would never have done with Logan or any other boyfriend. I can see Duncan's faults but she can't and thus I think less of her. And I don't like stupid characters. I like characters with intelligence.
I like the Veronica who didn't take crap from nobody. When she was with Logan, she was still that person. Evidence: she dumped him when he started doing stupid stuff.
Apparently someone asked Rob Thomas at the Mars-a-thon why Veronica wasn't calling Duncan on his shit and he totally avoided the question.
It just feels like 'Veronica Mars' is going down hill. I'm a member of vm_campaigns, a community dedicated to getting VM a third season and right now I think it is not worth it.
I just wish it was the third season already and that I could skip the rest of this season. The only thing to look forward to is the fact that Duncan is now gone...
...but there is a catch.
Teddy Dunn is contracted for 12 eps. He's only done 11. Will he come back this season? I hope it is just a flash back. And will he come back for the third season? Damn it. Fuck it.
I just hate this character and what he does to Veronica!
It's not that I'm some crazy L/V shipper who hates Duncan because he gets in the way of that relationship. I don't want Logan and Veronica together right now. I expected her to get back together Duncan. I understood thatV/D had unfinished business. It's just that this relationship (I feel) drags down the entire show.
I want Logan and Veronica to get together and stay together. Third season is fine with me. I want them both in a good place individually before they get together again.
One last time: FUCK!
Maybe it isn't as bad as I think. Maybe I should wait and actually see the ep before I pass judgment. And there will be Cliff. So yay for that.
Sorry about this rant. I just need to vent. I'm thinking of going spoiler free for the rest of the season. I might enjoy it more if I don't know what is going to happen.
