This is episode 8 of 9 which makes sense from a ratings perspective since it'll wrap up at the end of November. I would hope that next week closes the arc since we're invariably going to be served repeats during the holiday season until January.

Basically the rape case that started last year with the AD kids is the big first arc, which ends next week.

Seriously though, in how many episodes has "series regular" Tina Majorino actually appeared? Three?

We never had bikini wearing hotties sun bathing out on the lawn where I went to school

I thought tonight was the perfect use of Wallace. Let Veronica and him bounce one-liners off each other and that's it, no more story please.

Loved Veroinca doing making the ""The Six Million Dollar Man" noise when she hopped the fence.

Veronica - When you stick an easter egg in a frat boy's out door, do you kiss him first?
Fern - Is that a riddle?
Veronica - Poor Chip. You really Wrecked Him. (to self) Ba dum dum.

Loved the Tommy reference -
Veronica - She always gets a replay, never tilts at all.

Dick - Can't tell you if the recycle keister eggs.

When Veronica was researching after hours in the library and ran away from the janitor mopping with the squeaky bucket, who mops in the dark?

At the end of the episode they had an equation LoVe divided by Piz = ?
veronicaviewers.com

What was that about (btw Lo is Logan Ve is Veronica like Bennifer)? Are they letting us decide who Piz falls for? Ugh Aerie - I love that you sponsor the show, but come on...

What, no love for the Vacation reference? Cracked me up big time.

That one went totally over my head. The writers really went to town in that scene, it was funny, but maybe a little too silly.

Also, call me an optimist but I hope LoVe/Piz =? means that Piz will shoot Logan in the face. I'm getting sick of this LoVe melodrama.

Personally, I'm loving the week after week of dozens of killer references in each epsiode. Just good, clever writing.

Also great to see Veronica and her Dad back on the same page, working together again.

FWIW, the poll @ veronicaviewers.com currently has 81% hoping Logan and Veronica stick together, 13% want her with Piz, 6% think she should be single. Pretty overwhelmingly in favor of them staying together.

The Duncan/Veronica romance is pretty boring if you ask me. The show shines for me when she is doing her Encyclopedia Brown thing. All the "Do you love me? You do love me don't you? Love? Me? Howaboutit?" shit just drives me looney. They don't have to get rid of it, but I would be glad if they turned the angst down just a bit.
