Veronica Mars S01E12
This is the fake ID episode.
Best quote: Yadda yadda yadda “seduce the head cheerleader” yadda yadda. “How do I do that?” “Play on her insecurity.” Hilarious.
So, she gets six names of the Tritons and she automatically follows Duncan. She just wants to follow Duncan, nothing more. Any excuse will do. And everyone thinks Duncan is hung up on her, but I think there is plenty of mutual hanging. They need to move on, but then if they did, where would the show be?
Eavesdropping on the counseling sessions is both brilliant and amoral on Veronica’s part. Not a great credit to the writers though. What I don’t understand is how she was planning to do it while she was in classes. Perhaps earbuds, but it seems the suspension was really convenient. Too convenient. I don’t like convenient writing.
This episode didn’t have enough Dad time. Some, but not enough. Also, each episode balances between murder mystery and mystery du jour, and I keep losing interest in Lilly's murder and unravelling the Kane family. I'm glad for the weekly story line, but it's concerning that the arc loses my interest so easily at this point. I imagine the murder plot will eventually overpower the other and I hope the writers are up to the challenge.
Anyway, it’s past my bed time and I won't be able to watch the next episodes for a while. Perhaps I will need to visit someone’s house soon.

Yeah! Let's have another viewing party. I'm game.
Yes, she is still quite hung up on Duncan at this point. It's weird to me that she's hung up on him even AFTER she realizes he may be her brother. I think I would be trying my hardest to forget all of the making out and what not, instead of getting mooney over him and following him around.
I think the murder mystery starts to pick up again. They had to introduce it, since it's the major motivation for our main character, but then they had to develop her "outside" of that action, so we'd like her and believe in her outside of the "avenger" Veronica. By the end, the murder mystery is the primary plot. I hope you think it holds up. It takes some delicious twists and turns in the next 10 episodes.
