Veronica Mars S01E10
This is the Christmas party/stabbing episode that featured a poker game.
“Annoy, tiny blonde one, annoy like the wind.” –Logan
Logan has on occaision made a few references to his relationship with Duncan with terms usually reserved for romantic relationships, always jokingly. This episode is no different. That's no big deal, boys this age are fascinated with the taboo of male relations and often employ subtle homoeroticism. This episode ups the ante though. An alert watcher should notice that Duncan and Logan wear matching boxers. Hmm.
Veronica’s round up to discover the thief was great classic mystery schtik. I like these homages to the genre. Also, that strand of the plot made me once again wonder why Veronica doesn’t see Weevil as boyfriend material. Sure, he steals Faberge eggs, but that just shows he has good taste. And anyway, he returned them. Honor among thieves, and at least he’s honest about his dark side.
The falling out between Mr. and Mrs. Kane after Veronica confronted Mr. Kane was quite intriguing. We’ll have to see were it leads. I have time for one more before bed, so I’m not going to ramble.

An Echolls Family Christmas (this episode) is one of my favorite ones. Not even sure why. I like Logan in it. The more we see of him (in my opinion) the more human and understandable his character is.
I also feel like Veronica seems more willing to give him the benefit of the doubt instead of immediately assuming the worst about him.
AND I feel like you start to see his admiration of her abilities. When she's running down the list of suspects and ruling them out in that last part, he seems to be genuinely impressed by her sluething.
Did you see the twist coming with one of the accepted "09-ers" being one of the "help."?
Oh, and on another note... I wish you were caught up and watching Season Two (although don't until you are done with Season One), because last night's was pretty shocking. And I need someone to talk to about it!!
After they showed the pizza flashback I knew who had done it. But I didn't guess the right background to the problem. There is an episode of MASH with a similar twist. Charles is continually being one-upped culturally by a visiting British doctor then, at the end, the visitor reveals that his family were the help.
Logan may be impressed by Veronica's sleuthing, but that's also why he hates her, as we learn in the ID card episode. I guess it's like admiring the beauty of the tiger that is eating you.
