Veronica Mars 2x15

[timepiececlock]

Wallace's Girlfriend: "Guess you never know where true love's going to find you."
Veronica Mars: "If it comes looking for me, I'll be buy the expresso machine."
Logan:**walks in and meets Veronica at the expresso machine** "Hey."
me: *laughs a bundle*

I don't know if the writers were making an ironic joke there or being prophetic, but...dude... icon!

Also, whoa to Logan/Hannah. I can't figure out if he likes her or not. I think he does-- he may or may not be in love with her, but he at least likes her enough as a person that he realises he's "done something horrible."

I don't see how Veronica's gonna be of any help to him though. What's she supposed to do, comfort Hannah while she cries?


....my shipping tendencies in this fandom are weird. I can go weeks or months without thinking too hard about my OTP, and thoroughly enjoy Logan/Hannah, and even hope that Veronica can find someone who really suits her who isn't crazy or the son of a crazy person, and I won't read fanfic for ages.

And then ONE little portenty bit of ironic dialouge happens and canon and I'm like OMG IT'S MY BIRTHDAY AGAIN! YAY SHIP!

I think this means I truly am a Veronica/Logan shipper at heart, and letting yourself forget doesn't make it go away at all. Also? Am a canon whore.


The good thing about watching an episode this late is that presumably there's another one on tv in two days!

The sucky part is that I missed everyone else's episode commentary.

I've read a lot of news stuff. Severe police brutality on people brought in on light charges. Corruption involving cops and a local strip joint in a case that ended up with a witness who might have been murdered. One of the DAs did something really skeevy and evil that I can't remember off the top of my head. Mostly lots of stuff about extreme brutality in the county jailhouse.

I only mention it because the fictional town of Neptune appears to be either Newport Beach or something very close to Newport. I'm not sure if Newport Beach is incorporated though-- I know Irvine is.

Hmm. That is interesting. I hadn't thought of VM as a direct indictment of a particular place. I'd imagined it was more general.

When I think of how true it is that scary white guys (mayor, cheif of police, sheriff, rich minister, important business men) run most things, it's really unsettling.

Well, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be Orange County. I think they've said that. And OC isn't that big. Only so many parts of it touch the water. It's not supposed to be a *particular* place, but Neptune being in OC or near it, it's hard not to look around and say "yeah..." The attitude is weird here-- weird. Superficial in a way that I don't even know really how to qualify. I grew up in the Bay Area, and it's just something... the people are different here. Maybe not deep down inside, but on the surface, it's weird. The OC culture mindset is prevalent.
