Veronica Mars S01E15
This is the Russian “bride” episode.
I was hoping the whole time that Meg’s secret admirer was Duncan. It would simplify things. And guess what, I was right. I am too good for my own good. But why does Veronica, who thinks there’s a good chance he’s her brother, get so broken up about it. It just makes no sense. But then, girls rarely do to me.
“I look like Manila-whore Barbie.”
“Wang chung, or I’ll kick your ass.”
“Logan, when did you stop wearing pants?”
So, as Logan sat in the hotel, I liked him. When he cried, I thought, “He has a heart after all.” As he cried with his head against Veronica’s breasts, I wondered, “Isn’t it strange that he finds Veronica while looking for his mother?” Oedipus Rex, thy name is Logan. There’s one father I wouldn’t mind being killed; as much as I’ve disliked Logan, I dislike his father much more.
The deputy is a character made from cardboard. He won’t stand long as a love interest. Even Logan is at least interesting.
And as we reach the end of what has been one of the better episodes (what can I say, Logan cried and at least three words of Russian were exchanged), we find her mother and find her drugged/drunk and being watched. AACH. What a horrible cliffhanger for me to endure.

Okay, so I was wrong in my last comment. THIS is the episode where Logan cries. Interesting Oedipus thought. Of course, I hadn't had it. I was too busy going, "eeeeeeeee!!!"
I can speak to feeling jealous/wistful about watching an ex-boyfriend fall for another girl. Even when you know the ex is wrong for you (although I've never had that situation end because I might be related to the person), you still feel somewhat nostalgic for your relationship with that person. And there's also an element of, "Well, what does she have that I don't have?" girl type of competition that I can see how boys would not understand.
My big criticism of the show (and it continues into season two) is that Duncan isn't interesting or likeable enough for us to pine WITH Veronica for Duncan. I look at him and just think, "zzzzzz". Boring.
TWoP calls the deputy "Officer Mumbles." It's fitting, I think.
SO you enjoyed the Russian Mafia? I know you had high hopes for the episode. Do you see now why you couldn't have watched at after episode 3?
