Bullet points:

1. I didn't think it was possible for me to love Wallace more than I did before, but after that episode it seems I do. He's become a really interesting character now that he's moved out from under Veronica's shadow a little bit. He really is sort of the moral anchor for the show, and not in a saccharine and impossible to watch kind of way, either. His line to Jackie—"You don't know what she's been through" was just perfect. Because Wallace knows, and he's not dancing around it anymore. He's still got her back, but he's not going to let her walk all over him, and I appreciate that more than I thought I ever would.

2. Duncan and Logan are such boys.

3. What was up with the psychic lady? Seriously. Jackie said she didn't tell her to say the stuff about Lilly? So...Lilly really is going around haunting Veronica still? Um. (As a side note, that thing about Jackie being the only person alive who knew about Veronica's little breast-enhancing secret? How long exactly do you think Lilly mocked Veronica mercilessly for that one? Heh.)

4. Did anyone else think Logan seemed a little off in this episode? Like, the writers didn't know what to do with him, so they went with an old standby and just had him randomly make fun of Veronica, even if she wasn't around to hear it?

5. So, Jackie's officially this season's Logan, huh? Also? Did anyone not see the "twist" to that MotW coming a mile and a half away?

6. The Logan/Duncan reconciliation is just one more reason I think Duncan would be an interesting character to watch if someone else was playing him. Duncan finally gets up the nerve to go talk to Logan and ask if he just wants to hang out—-something Logan was waiting around for all summer-—but he doesn't do it until he realizes that for Logan, their rift wasn't all about Veronica, even if it was for Duncan. None of that comes across when I'm watching TD's performance. Although, who says to their sort of ex-best friend "Hey, come over and we'll play video games together and then watch our girlfriend go on some psychic's TV show!" Seriously? What was that about?

7. I really really really miss the Veronica who hated attending school functions. Like, really a lot.

8. No new episode next week is STUPID. Also, Wallace probably won't be in the next episode, will he? Not cool. Though, maybe Wallace calling Veronica on her crap and taking off will be the catalyst to shake her out of her stupor? Please? Something's gotta do it soon, right?

I don't think she's really the Logan of S2, partly because her dad seems to be a much more sympathetic character than Aaron Echolls, but who knows? It's still really early I guess, I could be completely wrong. I didn't think Logan was OOC, I took the asides as him being Logan 2.0, the resident OPJ again. I think he's just still hung up on her, but that could be my little shipper heart talking *g*

Oh yeah and apparently there's no new ep because sweeps start on Nov. 3rd...so no new ep till Nov. 9 :P

I think the writers are doing a lot to point out the similarities between Logan's early arc from S1 and Jackie's current arc. Jackie's got attitude and a reason to hate Veronica, and is bitchy to her for thinly veiled reasons. Showing up at the dance hopped up on meds really clinched it for me. I expect her to fall hysterically into Veronica's arms in a hotel lobby any episode now. :p

And yeah, I know there's no new episode because of sweeps starting and all, but it still doesn't make having to miss one next week any less stupid. ;) Grrr. There should always be a new VM! All the time! Never ending! Hiatus? What's that?? :p
