(no subject)
I finally got to watch "Look Who's Stalking" - my housemate had been away and I promised not to watch it until he got back. But it was so worth the wait. VM has been on a roll for the past seven or eight episodes, IMO. I was pretty un-enamoured (if that's a word) with the show around mid-season, but it's totally sucked me back in now. I still think there have been waaaay too many plot threads, but at least they're starting to come together at last. I loved Mac in this episode ("prayer WORKS!") and really, really hope she gets to be a season regular next year. Assuming there is a season 3 of course. (If prayer really does work, there will be). I loved Dick's ridiculous over the shoulder beer keg and straw. I loved Woody's increasing sinister-ness. I loved Keith hand-cuffing himself to Lucky. Those Mars' know how to get their own way. And the Logan/Veronica scenes...gah. I'm no fool, I knew that the fact that Logan was
swilling from a champagne bottle as he made his confession to V did not bode well, and as soon as Veronica knocked on his door the next morning I knew he had a girl in there, but it didn't stop my heart from breaking anyway. Unfortunately I don't sufficiently care about Wallace and Jackie to be at all comforted by their happiness. I think I'm only invested in Wallace in so far as he's Veronica's best friend. When he's doing things independently of her I just can't seem to be interested, unfortunately.
I'm not spoiled for the next two episodes, but the rest of this post does go into speculation territory, and also I *am* spoiled for casting in the finale, which I divulge below. Don't read on if you want to be completely surprised!
I inadvertantly found out through his IMDB listing that Teddy Dunn is in the season finale! Shock horror! I'm guessing that it turns out he did in fact sleep with Kendall and that's how Veronica got chlamydia. Though maybe that's slightly too easy? Either way, I really REALLY hope that his return means we'll re-visit his relationship with Veronica in so far as acknowledging all the issues that were never acknowledged before: the very different ways in which he saw Meg and Veronica, his emotional distance from Veronica, and her failure to ever call him out on any of the mistakes he made.
Also in the finale (once I got spoiled about Duncan's appearance I couldn't resist just finding out who else was in it): Amanda Seyfried and Harry Hamlin, so I suppose we're going to be finally told whether Aaron is in fact Lilly's killer or not. I read an interview with Kristen Bell where she said that the finale did things that she's never seen on television before, in so far as the way the story is told - I wonder whether this means that solution to the season 2 mystery is tied into the solution (whether real or supposed) of the season 1 mystery?
I read a very convincing theory that Woody Goodman had been sleeping with the gay student (whose name I have forgotten) from Neptune High, the one who posted on the Pirate Ship board about forcing the "outing of all outings", then died in the bus crash. The theory went that the student had told Woody at the baseball stadium that he was going to out him to Gia, and that's why Woody was so obsessed with making sure Gia was in the limo and not on the bus with the gay kid - because he wanted to stop her from finding out. I thought this extremely convincing at the time, but now with Lucky supposedly revelead as Gia's stalker, and being tied to the Mannings...I'm not sure any more. Maybe Woody got Meg pregnant, not Duncan, and the Mannings found this out and hired Lucky to somehow extract revenge on the Goodmans? I don't know, I'm happily clueless as to how it's all going to pan out, but I do have faith in a satisfying conclusion and I can't WAIT for the next two episodes. So. Excited. Eeeee!
