I just always get frustrated when a show tries to sell me on one thing that--try as I might--I can't buy at all, and then never so much as address the discrepancy.(I'm always thrown by the Duncan/Veronica=star-crossed lovers talk, because I don't see them that way at all, and I don't see that the show has adequately supported that theory.) Sigh. I can believe in the idea of Veronica not seeing her old self/old relationship with Duncan clearly, even from her new vantage point after changing so much...I just can't believe that the show isn't making that subtext more clear. IMO that kind of thing shouldn't be subtext, it should be front-and-center material. Otherwise we fans are left in the sad and thankless position of explaining *why* things are not as they seem, why we ship another couple, etc, etc, and so on. Right? And yeah, I've been burned way too many times before on different shows. Heh.
Yeah, it's a strange way to get rid of Duncan. There *are* a lot of holes in the idea. Especially as Duncan was emancipated by the beginning of this season, correct? So he should be able to get his own lawyer and fight for custody; Veronica's throwaway comment about his mother not wanting him to adopt should have little or no relevance to the case.

True about the fortune cookie numbers.
