VM and my thoughts on it...
So...before I explode with words...And no, I'm not a happy camper...
I'm so sad.
Tonite I watched the final straw break the camel's back. I watched a character be assassinated.
God, this is like Season 4 of Buffy all over again. I can't believe how much I hated Veronica in this episode. How disappointed I am with this show and the direction it's taking.
I know I'm not alone in being really upset that so much of what happened last season doesn't even exist in Season 2.
How did V get over being raped/thinking she was raped for a whole year?
How could V not only forgive (I mean, this is the girl who turned in her own boyfriend just because he MIGHT have been guilty of murder, her lust for vengeance (or justice if you prefer) was that strong!) the guy who had sex with her when she was drugged and then didn't ever mention it again, but date him??
The same guy who slept with her thinking she was his SISTER! The same guy who left her to wake up all alone in a house that WASN'T home and never said a word to her. After breaking up with her with NO explanations and NO apologies. WTF?
Then that guy proceeds to total an SUV with a tire iron and his bare hands just because V started dating someone new. He suffers from fits of violence so severe that V even considers him as Lilly's murderer. She DATES that guy?
Then he dumps his new (very virginal) girlfriend, who he'd recently de-virginized, without a bit of hesitation and never a look back as soon as he realizes that he hadn't slept with his sister. He is completely unemotional and unmoved about Meg. Even when she almost dies in a bus crash. SHE FUCKING DATES THAT GUY!
Then he finds out that Meg is pregnant. With his babe. And he has the TINIEST of reactions in the moment. And then acts like it didn't happen/never existed. Even when they're doing this parenting thing for Sex Ed class! AND OMFG SHE DATES THAT GUY!
And she hasn't mentioned or called him on any of this stuff this season. Even the revelation that he'd knocked up Meg only brought about 2 minutes of questioning before the was offering to sneak him into the hospital to see Meg and take care of their non-love child. ARGGHHHHHHH!
I don't even know who Veronica is anymore. But I know that I don't like her.
She sure as hell doesn't deserve Logan anymore.
What is going on? Did zombies take over the show? What THE FUCK?
I used to love this show. LOVE LOVE LOVE this show. Now I don't even know if I want a Season 3.
There weren't a lot of good (or even ok) moments in this episode. But I did like these:
-Even though the initial Keith/Logan interaction pissed me off, I really enjoyed their final scenes together. It's nice that one person is being understanding to Logan. Being nice to him...he really needed that because of...
-Finally seeing the Lilly/Aaron sex tapes. God. He just...I teared up. He's so self-destructive and he tortures himself so much. In so much of the fanfic from this summer he'd seen the tapes so I'd actually forgotten that he hadn't really seen them! JD blew me away in that scene. He broke my heart.
-Lamb bench-pressing. Lamb flexing. Lamb shirtless. *drool*
-WALLACE! OMFG am I glad you're back! Now please call V a "dumbass" and plant your foot firmly in her ass and tell her to get her shit together! Pretty please? Damn I missed Wallace a lot. I swear he's gotten cuter since he's been gone.
-And a few minutes of Dick. Dick always cheers me up. His hair looked awesome!
I hated all the Duncan/Veronica stuff. All the Duncan/Meg/Veronica stuff. All the Veronica stuff.
It's beyond lame that they killed off Meg. Again. For the third time. What a fucking cop-out! Those bastards were too busy massacring my show to come up with a decent storyline to support the need for a promo promising the death of a character. This is worse than the LOST cop-out of NOT killing Shannon last season. *sigh*
I liked Leo. This is the most I've liked him ever. But honestly? I didn't care. I didn't care why he took the tapes or why he sold 'em so cheaply to Logan. I just...didn't care.
I'm sure TD is a nice person and all, he's actually very charming in interviews...but he can't act. Or the writers can't fucking write. Either way...I'm...like 2 more shitty episodes away from not watching. I never thought this day would come because this was my FAVORITE show. But they're destroying everything I liked about it. It's not interesting anymore. It's not surprising. It's not engaging. I don't care about half the characters (because there are TOO MANY characters now) and the ones I do like don't get shown often enough because of the fucking budget issues. They come up for lame excuses as to why we don't see those characters that much (Hey Weevil and Wallace, whatcha been up to?) and or they just never mention them again (Oh, Hi Alicia, howdy Jackie..fancy meeting you here). They keep clogging up the show with guest stars we either don't care about or even if we like them outside of VM, they have no place ON VM. It's all about grabbing ratings (which isn't even fucking working) instead of writing and creating the best show on TV.
I...I'm just pissed off now. I'm sad and angry and it sucks.
