Cool. Ratings are apparently better this year than last, and the CW is not doing too hot overall, so fingers crossed.
They were a little over the top but not that much. The softball bat joke was actually pretty funny.
I also really liked the Jumbos Clown Wash joke (for those not in LA, Jumbos Clown ROOM is a famous strip bar on Sunset).
So I finally got to watch it through Methods That Shall Not Be Named, after my OnDemand DVR decided to mysteriously stop recording at the 25 minute mark. Grr.
Anyway, thoughts: Sweet Lord of Donuts, what happened to Weevil? It seems more than mere weight gain. As said, he looks puffy and unwell. And acne. And…waitaminnute…he looks like David Boreanaz mid-Angel! My bet’s on steroids.
Second: who the hell is doing makeup this season, Whores R Us? Horrid, horrid makeup on all the girls. Someone take away the spackling knives, STAT! And they really need to chill out on Veronica’s hair. She has perfectly lovely straight hair, the hooker wave has got to go.
OTOH, I’m glad Veronica finally realized she was being an overcontrolling psycho bitch. That had me worried for a minute. I actually like the Veronica/Logan relationship being solidly rocky. That’s sure as hell how my relationships were in college - one day we’d be picking out china patterns and naming our theoretical crotch spawn and the next we’d be barely speaking.
Do you mean Dick? That’s what I thought, though it may be a red herring.
I don’t know what she meant, but I thought Logan, when he came up to the Help Desk (and how meta-Ironic is it that Veronica works a Help Desk?) and said “I need help”. I was frozen in creepification for a minute, expecting a confession that the reason he’d been checking out is he was blacking out or something that would later in the season lead Veronica to discover her boyfriend was the attacker.
I’m still not convinced they may not take it there, but I really hope not. I heart Logan.
Here’s a question, why was the Coache’s name Dwight Fry?
Seems an odd reference -
Ten years ago, perhaps. It seems to me that feminism, and leftism in general, has grown much tamer since Alfred E. Newman took over. Meanwhile, the right has set loose its wingnuts where once its moderate voices were heard. I expect that in a month or so, we’ll see another such reversal.
I doubt it was on purpose - that actor died long before the VM writers were even a twinkle in their parents’ eyes
No, Logan at the help desk.
But Dick is probably a better guess. He’s such a… well, you know.
And yet, he’s the white sheep of the family. The only one left who isn’t dead or in jail.
There’s no Casablancas in jail - his dad is elsewhere, avoiding extradition.
but beav…er, Cassidy is in jail for the bus crash
No, he jumped off a very tall building. Beaver is all dead now.
The Casablancas family’s current standings:
Big Dick (the dad): avoiding prosecution by hiding in the Cayman Islands, which in the VM universe apparently don’t extradite criminals to the US like they do in our world.
Mom: married to Schwarzenegger’s campaign manager
Beaver: road pizza in last May’s season finale
Dick: Logan’s new rommate, got into college by mom’s political connections. Apparently didn’t need that physics credit or summer school after all.
Oh, about the new VM hair - I think Kristin Bell is one of those people with naturally wavy hair. I’ve friends who straighten their hair every day and it’s not until finals or big project deadlines (when they’ve no time) that anyone would know they don’t naturally have straight hair. I just wish her hair wasn’t always in her face.
