Veronica Mars 2.13

[selenak]

Due to the heavy snow in Munich, I didn't arrive until late in the evening, and the airbus from Frankfurt was packed with other Munich-bound travellers. On the bright side of things, I spent a longer time at the Vienna airport, which is way nicer than the Frankfurt one.

I also got the latest Veronica Mars, which was nifty.

this is my Logan icon

At the beginning of this episode, I thought, "Oh, great, it's the NOW YOU MUST LIKE JACKIE!" episode. And, well, it ended up working. Somebody pointed out the irony that Jackie is up there shivering for her father's sake while he's being wined and dined (or beered and chipped) and admired by Keith. Though I did like those scenes with Keith and the father -- and I certainly HOPE he's right.

And Logan Logan Logan; very good use of the character -- I knew there was a twist coming but didn't expect that one.

Overall, a nice solid whodunit episode. And I'm really digging Weevil's story -- unlike some of the other plots, this one keeps going places I don't expect.

Well punned. *uses Emmy icon, just because*

Weevil: the anti-Gunn? (re: the recycled Gunn plot until season 5.) Or am I being unfair?

As in, "Rejected by his old gang, rather than rejecting?"

Hmm, maybe. The two characters definitely come from the same prototype; but the constantly recycled Gunn-plot seems to have been a result of Gunn's backstory (or really, much of anything about the series from Gunn's POV) seems to have been poorly thought-out, so that whenever they needed a personal story for Gunn, they kept going back to the same well. Though I also read somewhere that Tim Minear originally "This Old Gang of Mine" to have a story in which Gunn was homeless/living in his truck (even after having worked for Angel for a year!) but was too proud to admit it. I'm quite thankful they scrapped that, personally --

Honestly, if I was going to make a comparison of Weevil to a Buffyverse character, it would be to the early version of chipped Spike.
