Veronica Mars 2x02 Driver Ed
Ah, smart person as I am, I seem to have posted my post with icon and subject line, but without, say, actual content. And then I deleted the actual content that I did write.
*headdesk*
Herein follows an approximate rewrite.
2x02 Driver Ed
Meg is still alive? Hrm, not sure how I feel about that one. I'm glad we'll get to see more of her, but it seems to be a bit of a cop-out to save the one character with a name who was on the bus.
On the other hand, now the Veronica-Meg interactions will be even more interesting!
I felt very bad for Jessie.
I'm not sure if I like Jackie or not yet. People with giant chips on their shoulders seem to interest me less these days. On the other hand, I want to see more with her brother (father? heh? was confused).
Also, Wallace! Wallace being detective! Even though I missed how he narrowed it down to the girl with the green car and what the note was about and what happened with the police anyhow (rats being naughty), Wallace being detective was still cool!
I wish Veronica and Duncan would talk a wee bit more about the conclusion to "A Trip to the Dentist." Or maybe their not talking and having sex is the point...? I mean... it just seems that a) believing you've slept with your sister an entire year or b) believing you've been raped an entire year or c) finding out that you had sort of mutually consensual but still drugged sex or d) all of the above would be pretty disturbing and a topic of conversation. Or... really deep mutual repression, or something. Or maybe just no one really talks to each other in Neptune. Veronica's definitely not the most open person ever.
Logan-Kendall is still extremely disturbing. Logan and Mr. Casablancas and Dick shooting guns is also very disturbing. I have small hopes for Beaver, who may somehow get out of weasliness, but still want to thwack Dick on the head with a very large stick.
coffee_and_ink had a very good point about all the mother figures being either evil or dead, which is now really annoying me (this is why I stopped watching Alias -- I was really sick of every single female who wasn't Sidney being either evil or dead). Hrm, I wonder if this means Alicia will get killed. =(. I hope not! I like her!
I was sad that the Logan and Felix mystery didn't really get explored, but at least there was mention of the biker whose name I can't spell and the continual implication of the class divide with the bus driver, with the question of the bus not being maintained properly. And of course, the fact that the 09ers all got to live, even Meg who was on the bus.
And Keith is running for sheriff! I wonder if that means the press will get all in the Mars' dirty laundry.
