Hopefully this particular storyline will be wrapped up tonight, but I doubt it.

I believe that one of the TV gossip-meisters indicated that they spoke with Thomas and that he believes this episode is stronger than last week's. We'll see.

yes, this is the last Tuesday episode.
and the Sunday 7pm slot for UPN is TBA for the next two weeks on tvguide.com
I wonder if they are doing away with the SUnday repeats of VM.

What is up with the Beaver? What is up with Wallace? It must be spring fever or something for Wallace, but for Beave?

Logan's body language kills me at times, not only at the dance when the mayor's daughter keeps pestering him, but at the stadium blow-up ceremony, sitting all slack-like.

Poor Thumper.

The Mayor seems to be playing a lot of angles.

Anyhow, it was a good macro episode for the most part.

Someone had a theory that

Beaver was molested by Woody.
Makes sense to me.

Fantastic episode...Veronica and Logan work too well together to keep them apart forever. I also cannot believe that they've actually managed to make Jackie a likable character...amazing turnaround. And what IS up with Wallace?! Can't wait to see how this season ends...

I still have a hard time accepting the 180 that Jackie has supposedly done (so much so that Veronica now hangs with her, i.e. last episode).

Much better episode than last week. The only thing was that I almost felt sorry for Thumper.

Screw Thumper. I'm for anything that gets us more Weevil.

Pretty good episode and next week looks like it might be back to last years quality.

Funny how on Sunday night Mac isn't even interested in boys and on Wednesdays/Tuesdays she's looking to at least get felt up.

This show WILL make it to a 3rd season and I hope they re-tool again to what worked well last year, lose a lot of the extra characters, and figure out Mac should be part of the permanent cast.

If you buy that a lot of this year's re-tool was about trying to match up with the ANTM lead-in, things could go a couple of different ways. They could try to re-tool to make the show more like Gilmore Girls, or they could try to de-tool the show and get us back to first season form.

Logan won a contest. When the teacher said 'The winner is...logal echolls' he was reading a magazine, but it down, and said 'did someone say my name?' and smirk like Max did.

Gotcha. Nice catch. I figured it couldn't have been as obvious as the Lebowski reference with Vinnie.

This would make a lot of sense, especially with Woody's feel up of Logan.

I really don't think this season is that different from the last. They've just added more angles and mini-mysteries to the main one. Many of you feel that this season has been some great travesty, but I'm just not seeing it. I do think that UPN should allow Thomas to bring Weevil and Wallace on for every episode next season (assuming they both survive), that kind of took away a little of the magic at points.

Steve Guttenberg thought he was sneaky trying to get the disc back from Keith, you knew he wasn't falling for it.

I like Mac, but this upcoming Beaver plot is going to bore me. I don't like the character or his brother.

For some reason, every time I see Steve Guttenberg appear on screen, I keep singing that line from the Stonecutter's Song on the Simpsons: "Who holds back the electric car / Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star? / We do! We do!"

I hope Keith was smart enough to make a copy of the DVD before giving it back to the mayor.

Didn't you see Keith playing the video on his computer after Mahoney came in and got his DVD?

BTW, did the show really go where I think it was going with the whole scout's honor/shocker thing?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Steve Guttenberg kicks ass and don't pretend like he doesn't!
