This is the first season that I've actually watched. I caught an episode here and there before. Last night I was way too distracted during the break up scene though. They filmed that scene at UCSD, you can see the library over Veronica's shoulder. Almost every other scene that takes place at "Hearst College" is filmed at SDSU. The architecture is radically different. I can understand not filming every single scene at State. But, at least go to USD where the buildings more or less have the same style. :(

The whole circle the fat thing was awful, but it definitely used to go on on my campus (while I've been here even). I'm not sure if it does anymore because it got so much attention then...

Anyway, I love Logan! I'm so glad it wasn't him!

*bump* New epsiode last night.

That was really creepy that Veronica's paper was used to murder Dean O'Dell. Unfortunately there aren't enough suspects introduced to make a case yet.
Monkey was adorable and Mac has a crush...so cute! And yay, Veronica and Logan.
I'm such a fangirl...I downloaded the season 1 soundtrack last night.

Marcel the Monkey!

Who played Bronson, or whatever his name was. He looked wicked familiar to me.

I love this show, though I missed some episodes at the beginning of this season. I got Season 1 for Christmas and rented season 2 to catch up on the episodes that I missed.

ah, but i felt so bad for piz. i think i prefer him to logan any day.

I'm not sure if I prefer him more since I've watched this show since it began and am a huge Logan fan, but yeah -- I totally felt bad for the poor guy. Piz that is.

I'd take Duncan on top of either because Logan can be a jackass but it made my heart break to see how miserable they were apart from each other. They're supposed to be together.
Poor Piz...he should date Parker damnit!

Oh, so my super wonderful boyfriend bought me season 1 and 2 on dvd for christmas. I love him :D

So...who else thought tonight's episode theme was interesting? HOOKERS PEOPLE! This episode just sucked. It's like the writers are running out of steam or something.

Yeah but in a way, kinda clever nerd finds love in a hooker?? Never happens in tv....?? But yeah, they have gone to the mountain about two years ago with the crazed dad chasing Veronica ....and now sinking in a huge mud pit....oh, well, there is always Smallville

If you've watched the show long enough, you learn everything comes back in solving the "big" cases that take up the whole season. I'm not saying the hooker stuff exactly, but everything always plays a part and happens for a reason.

I actually read a recent interview with Rob Thomas and they said the second arc of the season (Dean O'Dell's murder) won't be as huge as other arcs have been and there will be standalone episodes. It seemed like this will be one of the standalones. I believe part of the reasoning is so Kristen Bell can get some time off and not be filming 24/7.

This was actually part of the arc. The standalone episodes won't be until the final five episodes of the season and they are doing that to see if it can pick up viewers that way in case they decide to renew it for next season.

Oh Madison, was Lamb not doing it for you anymore?

Yep, I read the same thing in a Rob Thomas interview. He is looking into doing stand alone epies due to a mix of things. One of the biggest seems to be getting new viewers, but of course I also heard him say the thing about giving K. Bell more time off. I think he also stated he didn't feel like the whole season arcs were working due to not being about to get the characters emotionally involved as much as they were during season 1 unless he killed off one of Veronica's friends or family every season.

Did anyone else have trouble recognizing Madison when she was at the door? It took me hearing her name to get it.

No, I couldn't figure it out either, I thought she was another hooker! Then I went, 'woah honey, you need to sue your hairdresser, very reminiscent of a feral squirrel glued to the back of your head ala Michelle Duggar'.

I still don't think Max's girlfriend hooker has anything to do with the Dean's murder.
