Veronica Mars S3E02
This episode was definitely much better than the first, in my Spoiler-full .
I was very excited to see the whole prisoner/guards social experiment. In case this is above anyone's head, it references the Stanford prison experiment where men were paid something like $15/day to play prisoners or guards in a mock prison. It ran 6 days out of its 2 weeks before it was stopped due to it getting out of hand and being extremely unethical. I just recently watched the German movie Das Experiment, a movie based on the experiment and addressing the issue of where the experiment would have gone if it had been allowed to go on. If you like dark and very disturbing movies, do watch, it's an amazing movie.
As for the episode itself, Logan streaking was a definite 10 in my book. Wallace is my hero! ;D And Boy Meets World's Rider Strong was great as the jackass guard!
The whole sorority girl thing was a little contrived, though it did keep me interested. I did feel very sorry for Veronica for not only hurting poor Parker but also the whole sorority who, it appears, are innocent of the accused rape and bad rushing.
It seems that Logan and Veronica are back to speaking in barbs, which is great, and Veronica squeezing Dick's face was priceless!
Also, it's sad, but I'm happy that Piz wasn't in the episode at all. I'm horrible at making up my mind about characters right away, but I tend to change my mind if need be, so I'm not completely hopeless. ;)
In short, this episode was much better than the first as I think all the characters are slowly coming back into themselves again (maybe I just mean Logan and Veronica), and I didn't think it was as dumbed down as the first one.
