It's been a busy day, so this is somewhat later than usual. :p But that doesn't mean I don't want to blather on endlessly!

The VD implosion is just moments away. Well, it would be if Veronica and Duncan were even remotely normal, but since they're the Repression Kids I'm thinking this could take another couple of episode before it all blows up spectacularly.

I think one of the big reasons why I don't think Duncan and Kendall did anything is because if Veronica breaks up with Duncan for cheating on her, then all this character development set-up (which, quite frankly, has been all their relationship has been good for) will be for naught.

It's good to see actual tangible evidence of Duncan not being at all what Veronica thinks, though. The Meg thing was murky, but the computer thing? And the vent thing? Definitely devious.

What was up with that weird look Logan and Veronica exchanged after the FBLA teacher said that maybe it was better that Duncan didn’t know?
I think that it was one of those "Do you have any idea why he isn't here?" "No, do you?" things.

Duncan, sweetie, you need to get another expression. Constipated blinking doesn’t cut it when hot, ( ... )

The implosion's got to be coming soon. They've been hinting at it since episode 3, and now it's becoming more and more of a plot point. I'm pulling for the end of sweeps, myself.

I don't think Duncan and Kendall did anything either, and a lot of it has to do with what you said, but I do think that something suspicious (other than a naked woman waiting for a 17-year-old boy as he got out of the shower) went on behind those closed doors. Or else Duncan is even more closed off than I thought, because it doesn't make sense to me that he wouldn't tell Logan what happened, when it's very clear that Logan doesn't have any actual feelings for Kendall.

I think that it was one of those "Do you have any idea why he isn't here?" "No, do you?" things.

Ahh, fair enough. I think I'm just used to the two of them being so completely Not Civil with each other lately, that something as simple as that slipped my mind. :p

I kinda want to do a picspam with all the caps that have Duncan looking exactly the same in about thirty different situations. ( ... )

Confused constipation.

Tee hee! You know the funniest part? Remember in RB, when the florist was describing the guy who bought Meg's flowers, he made some robot-like movements and sorta grunted?

Now remember who he was describing.

Hee! Duncan the Robot Boy. I never even thought about that, I just attributed it to the quirkiness of the character.

I imagine Donut didn't do anything about Logan's abuse because Logan is adult enough to decide how to deal with that for himself. We don't know that they didn't discuss it, though, they probably didn't ;)

How much do I love Veronica's Ninja Turtles sleeping bag? More than Logan's adorable freckles, that's how much. You know she's a Donatello girl, too. ;)

Hee! I was a ninja turtle slut. I could never decide who I wanted, so I just took turns with all of them. You know, in my imagination. Aaaand now you know I've had ninja turtle fantasies. Oh well.

I think Duncan didn't do anything about Logan's abuse because, if you think about it, they are the same age, so like when Logan was 12, so was Donut and what is a 12 year old supposed to do about that, especially to the extent Aaron was hurting Logan. At the most, he could've told someone, but we all know how convincing of a liar Aaron can be, plus he is truly a scary motherfucker, it's easy to reason Duncan was scared of him. We also don't know if Duncan saw any of Logan's abuse first hand, or if Logan just came around with burns, bruses and broken bones and knew what had happened, but really had no proof. Logan isn't really one to talk about it or admit what was happening either.

Hmmm. I guess it's a matter of how long Duncan knew about it and didn't do anything. I mean, it's not even that there was much he could have done, but I could still see him harboring guilt over it, especially when it turns out that the man shelling out the abuse ended up killing his sister.

HEEEEE! Oh, Steph. It's okay, I've had a massive crush on Donatello for as long as I can remember. ;)

I loved the Lamb ending. I was begining to think that maybe he wasn't just the two-dimensional asshole they've made him out to be. I think he's going to become a bigger player in the series this year.

I don't think Duncan and Kendall did anything, I think she just did the mouth-whipey thing to make Logan think she did. Personally, I'm surprised she didn't go straight for (Little) Dick. However, I do think they are making a point that Duncan is not the perfect little boy Veronica thinks he is. I am wondering if part of his Meg thing is guilt, over what I don't know, but going to visit her every day and trying to find this abused kid make me think he did something (or thinks he did something) to Meg that is eating at him. Duncan would harbor guilt, and I don't think its as simple as that Duncan is just not over her. All of this weird ass crap with Meg's family might be part of it, or they may just be using it to set up whatever is going on with the Donut.

I really think Lamb is going to be more important this year, too. And he's almost have to be, given the themes of the season. I'm really interested to see where they're taking his character.

I'm pretty sure I don't think they had sex, either, but I think something shady went on. I'm really not sure what to think about Duncan at this point, because all last season his thing with Meg was just him using her as a Veronica 1.0 stand-in, and now it seems like he cared about her much more than came across last season. I'm wondering if it all doesn't come back to Duncan and some massive guilt issues.
