I love liberally loquacious Logan alliterations.
Man, I was so pissed it was 1am and I couldn't scream "VD! VD! VD!" at the television when the doc said chlamydia.
MotW & Gia. I thought it nicely brought things together, although I still wish we'd seen Lucky earlier on. It really seems like Woody "did something to him" (along the sketchy, sketchy lines) and he's getting revenge of sorts, and Woody's just a red herring for the bus crash. Is it wrong that I found his knife hilarious? Look at my giant knife! I am so tiny and yet my knife is so giant! And then Keith tackled him and it was AWESOME. Keith has perfect timing, Lamb has the worst. Dude was going to confess! And Mr. Manning bailed him out? Hm...
Chlamydia theory: Duncan got it from Meg who got it from Lucky who got it from Woody. And that's why Gia thinks chlamydia is a flower. "Dad, you told your friend you gave Mom chlamydia. What's chlamydia?" "A flower, sweetheart, a beautiful, itchy flower."
I loved the whole awkward question awkward bantering of V/L. And his sadness that she assumed they wouldn't see each other after high school! (And as we find out later he has a differnt assumption.) I wonder if he was going to invite her even if she hadn't come up to talk to him? How does he know she smells of marshmallows and promises? Do people ACTUALLY say Veronica Mars is a marshmallow? Sometimes I have issues with the ontology of references in this show. That aside, it is seriously romantic as all hell. Aww!
Leo! Hi, Leo! I missed your previously, so I was totally surprised and in fact did not recognize your name! Sorry! I still think you're hotter than Lamb! Bye, Leo! Write or something!
We could go to prom together!
Random non-joy comment: I think the alterna-prom should have had some of the gay kids. I mean, come on! If Butters found out, they would have. Or maybe they had their own prom, and, like, stole Butters' pirate ship.
Longest elevator ride ever! I love how the camera turns along with everyone in the elevator to look at Butters and his "space elevator" comment. Hee! Seriously, though, who told Butters? Veronica? WHY, VERONICA? I do not understand that. I really do not. Mac and Madison's joint "Thank God!" was great, though.
The flat screen TV is weirdly displaying an "alterna-prom" logo. Who would bother with that? I wonder if they decorated the stupid fish...
Why is Logan greeting his guests in what appears to be the middle of the living room? Why not the door? Why greet them at all? Especially the randoms? Or did he just see a line of people headed his way with Veronica at the end and realize if he talked to all of them, she'd have to talk to him? (Also- loved Wallace's casual friendly greeting, aw.) I do love Logan's jacket. Love, love, love the white tuxedo jacket. It's just so Golden Age of Hollywood and romantic and hard to keep clean and he fills it out so nicely... And he and Veronica make such a nice contrast of black and white together...
"On the lam(b)!" I seriously think they name characters with an eye towards future glorious puns. "At least one third of the characters must be named after animals, objects or slang terms for genitalia!"
Wallace's pimp cane is the only redeeming factor of the substandard Jackie/Wallace subplot. And even the pimp cane is just like, "I am but one pimp cane! I alone cannot make this story interesting!"
And then when we next see Logan he's lost his jacket, his hair's a mess, the tie's hangin' lose and half his shirt is untucked. Has he already fallen down drunk several times, or did Dick just give up on the ladies and finally make a leap at Logan?
Veronica's "I really love this song" was such an opening to ask her to dance, to slowly ease back into the idea of a romantic relationship. But what does Logan do? Logan misses this cue and instead launches full steam ahead to declare undying love. Drunkenly. And yet still so cutely. He just plops down and slowly scootches towards her while talking and then he starts snifling, and he's snifling and scootching and it is seriously the most adorable thing ever.
I love the hand motion that accompanies "tortured," and the self-depricating smirk. And the foreshadowy swearing off of bimbos. He's so... hard to hate. There's all these elements to his character that should add up to "Ugh" but there's just too much adorableness there. He is seriously a dangerous addictive substance.
Does she really think he means Hannah? I don't know. I think she at least suspects he means her, but she really doesn't want to go there. There lies awkwardness and messy emotions and the possible morning after "I'm sorry I gave you Duncan's chlamydia" talk.
And then... Epic! How many times did he say epic? Maybe I should go back and count. With the spanning continents! And the bloodshed! And Veronica asks, "Do you really think a relationship has to be that hard?" and basically sums up the entire problem of them as a couple. (I also love her little eye role, desperately trying to difuse the drunken drama. You cannot difuse the drunken drama, Veronica, do not try.) Veronica has this idea of what a "real" relationsip is, the kind you enter into with a robotic bore and have truly bad sex with, the kind that is obviously not epic. (True love stories never have endings? Well, boring ones do. They end when you stop paying attention.) And yet, she's also right to a certain extent, it should not be this hard, but you are the two main romantic characters on a television show, so get used to hard. They don't write [good] TV about the easy ones, either.
And then he leans in... (and there's a bit more scootching)... and the tender caress... and SHE RUNS AWAY. Young lady, come back here right this minute and make out with that poor, tortured, bimbo-swearing-off boy! No, Logan, DON'T DRINK MORE! This will not end well. (Maybe he should have just posted to
ship_manifesto instead?)
And then Jackie and Wallace have sex. Evil, mocking sex. RT, don't taunt the OTP UST! It's just... tacky. (And tawdry.)
Morning after! (Though not the sort we'd wished.) As soon as she showed up at his door, I knew there was a bimbo. There couldn't NOT be a bimbo. Bimboness was, in fact, assured. But Kendall? Damn, that's harsh. Bitch does her homework. I mean, seriously, why would she go to the alterna-prom? (Collecting another sample of Duncan's chlamydia-ridden hair?) I doubt getting back at Veronica was a primary motive or anything, but she's certainly not surprised by it.
But, ohhh, Veronica... She's not even saying anything that extreme, but it's just the fact that she's come there, and apologized, that for once she's the one with her heart (partially) on her sleeve, and... he doesn't remember. AND YET IT GETS WORSE. Veronica is never honestly admitting emotion to a guy ever again, I swear.
And Logan just stands there, knowing he's totally fucked up, looking confused and embarassed... And Veronica gives him this final defiant look and the doors close and... Oh, Logan, this has not gone well for you. Now just wait 'til you go back in and discover Dick asleep on the other side of the bed, naked.
I got the Season 1 DVD! (Legally, this time!) Yay, Target! Especially the West Hollywood Target which is majorly nice. Except there is A SPECK ON LOGAN'S FACE on disc 3. Wah! Speck! Ah, well, so long as it plays 1.18... over... and over... and over... and... I have free time tonight, don't I?
