"it's still better than 95 percent of shit on TV these days." I think that's exactly it. I think that's why I still love it. Also, I'm still hoping there's a chance it will be great again, but even on its most awful nights, I'd still rather watch VM than anything else.
"That being said: CHECK V HITTING ON THE ARAB GUY." That was hilarious.
"I'm warming up to Piz" I never really had a problem with him. Initially when he was introduced, I worried (like many fans) that RT would make him VERONICA'S ONE TRUE LOVE. That scared me. However, I did like the idea of Piz being competition for Logan, and I also hoped that he would spark Logan's snarkiness. Nope. Ball dropped.
"I kind of like this side of Logan" I felt for Veronica during the Nice/Sensitive!Logan scenes. I put myself in her shoes and felt sad that I wasn't the one to make him so happy (who knows if he's really happy, though, right?).

lazaefair and I just stared at each other when Wallace said that like, "Omigod, they didn't. Omigod, they just did. EARNEST PERRY."
Not that you, er, know who Perry is. But he was our angry black journalism teacher who pretty much thought all 400 or so of us were the damnedest bunch of racists with no idea how to be sensitive at all. And when Wallace said that, we went to our very special CCJ place.
Everyone's complaining that Logan's so out of character, but I don't see it. I mean, look at some of those times with him and V. They could do nice and normal (oddly, he's the one that wants it this time around - OMIGOD. NEW OTP. PARKER/DUNCAN) if she'd just let him try. I mean, he's a good guy, no matter what RT says. That scene in season one where he learns she was raped? And he just wants to make it better? I just wish she would have let him

Exactly. It's this unexplored part of Logan's personality, and I just wish the exploring could have been done with Veronica. I wish that they'd create drama on the show outside of L/V for a few episodes. Honestly, I think most of the fandom would have been happy to see an in-the-background healthy L/V relationship in exchange for a bit more of Mac or Wallace or dare-I-say Dick?
I still wish they'd deal with the Cassidy thing. Honestly, the way I read into that scene was that Cassidy had literally taken everything, and I don't just mean her clothes. How she's acted this season hasn't done a lot to change my mind. Parker is... honestly, I know a Parker. I know the girl that tries to pretend that it hasn't happened, and I really did like the more empowered Parker we saw in 3x09, volunteering with Take Back the Night and coming to V's rescue

I'm still having nightmares about that cake. Logan's face is just too pretty to sink your teeth into, no matter what buttercream goodness lies beneath.
I guess to each their own. Sigh. I remember when I used to love the show. I remember when I couldn't wait for the next episode. I vaguely remember the days I actually liked Veronica, instead of tolerating her and hoping she has a moment of self-awareness that actually sticks. Alas
( ... )
It's not so much that I like Chris Lowell, but I will tolerate him because I know I wouldn't want to be the actor on a show that is pretty much there for the audiences to hate. He also kinda reminds me of a lot of the dumb-but-loveable debate hippie kids I went to high school with, which makes me a little more sympathetic to him. I'm glad he finally got off his ass and did something about how he felt about Veronica, but I wish he would have come to the relevation on his own, not after being prodded by Biggie Wallace

First of all, I don't think you are an idiot. Or even a dork for holding on. And I guess it is different when you are new-er to the show. We've been waiting for some kind of resolution/closure/understanding/follow-through for 3 years. And we never got it. It's not surprising that we are upset and frustrated
( ... )
Oh man, I'm a terrible person, but instead of reading it as the writers really messing up continuity at Shelly's party, I always read it as Duncan being a lot more sinister than he ever let on. He knew it wasn't right. He knew that even if she could mutter one thing didn't mean she gave consent. But at the same time, I question the timeline she got from everyone else. Whether or not Dick and Sean really set Beaver up for it that night. Most of those people had motivations for wanting to lie. I've gone back through that episode and puzzled through it again and again, and it all could have been avoided if they just hadn't shown Duncan running out the next morning. Otherwise, it could have been Duncan first, Beaver second, which would make a lot more sense.
Duncan just bugged the hell out of me, and maybe that's why I can't make season three all bad: Duncan is gone, gone, gone for good! I wish I could have just seen one thing where Veronica smashed up something or yelled about her "perfect" boyfriend. I like how her "bigger

It all makes sense now! I think you banged the nail on the head right there.
Also, as for pretty much everything else you wrote: Word.
