Fucking CW! I could hear the music but no speaking at all. These shitty stations force a person to d/l eps online.

Interesting to see Wallace return for all of 3 minutes there tonight after being gone for so long. I really think they should have wrote him off along with Jackie last year since he has done absolutely nothing for the story this year.

Still 15 minutes to go, but I'm liking this episode.

I like how Logan had to deal with the little girl. I think most of the time people who post here don't really like him, but I love the guy. I like how even though he's done some bad things, he also does the right thing more often than not when it's really important. Like being unselfish enough to find out that the little girl was going through a hard time and taking her out to get ice cream.

I wish they'd just have those 2 stay together, because when Logan is around to protect Veronica it just feels right.

They should sort of stick with Logan, Veronica, Mac, Wallace as the scoobies and Keith as Mrs. Summers. Weevil is sort of the Spike character.

Sheriff Lamb has arrested more people that weren't guilty in just 2 1/2 years that probably any cop has in the history of the world. When he tells someone that they are under arrest, it sounds stupid at this point.

Enjoyed the show, but it still feels like it kind of drags. I know they don't want to compromise the quality, but I think it might hurt the show that the mysteries unfold slowly and without a lot of intensity. I mean, next week looks like a thrill-fest. If they kept the show a little bit more fast paced, I think fans might give it a chance-although it may be too late. I certainly thought the pace of shows in season 1 felt quicker and that was easily the best season.

funny. the dude in the beginning with the hotel manager who said "we're running out of salt and pepper shakers" -- I know him!! lol.

I was visiting a friend from high school in LA in January, and this guy, David Magidoff , was over. I was talking to him and he mentioned how he's an actor. Big whoop, right? Well so I asked what he's been in...and he said he was just shooting another episode of VM. The first one he was on was the plagerism one. He was the dude who called Veronica out on it!

Just kinda funny. I don't know any actors who are on tv.

I think the show is still great, but it is painfully obvious who killed the Dean.

I just thought the coach's murder was a way to shoehorn an appearance by Wallace, albeit a short one.

The girl with Logan was a cute device to get him to stop thinking about himself and get back to interacting with the world.

I enjoyed the episode. I was nervous when I first saw Wallace since that usually means the episode is doomed to suck, thank god he wasn't around long.

how did Wallace even know V and L broke up? He certainly never talks to Veronica. At least, how would we know if he did? He's never on.

If you have two Broadband adapters, a computer program, and a hack you can...that was bugging me the entire episode as well.

I really enjoyed this episode. I'd like see more Mac and even less Wallace...

I also thought the little girl was cute and funny and was exactly what Logan needed to get out of his funk.

When Veronica saw Logan in the bathrobe with Heather in the elevator...damn Veronica has a dirty mind! I couldn't stop laughing at that.

The TVGuide podcast made an interesting observation: because Veronica is no longer in high school, the social clicks don't exist. Veronica doesn't feel like the outcast we expect her to be and that dynamic has a big effect on the overall show.

Thoughts?

I would like to see her move quickly through college and into the FBI, now that has potential to be a really great show.

Watching a newly minted FBI grad Veronica take on Hannibal Lecter.

Didn't people say the same thing about Buffy?

I'm just happy the show was a lot better than this thread.

I liked the episode. Great mystery and the dialogue from Dick is hillarious. He has some great lines.
