So Veronica came on again for the first time after a while last night. I actually watched the whole thing- commercials and all.
Good points: All the side characters made apperances- glad to see Mac and Wallace finally in the same episode although they didnt actually manage to talk to each other. Keith as sheriff is great, it really changes the dynamic of the show but I still miss Lamb (i loved to hate him).
Veronica and Logan? Well Logan was sickly attached to Parker- I mean who puts a picture of yourself as a couple on the birthday cake??? So that almost made the Veronica and Piz hook up tolerable b/c it was so in Logan's face.
Politics: the feminists are MIA. Whatever happened? The new social drama was an odd commentary on the war. So yay for sympathizing with the soldier and sticking with the asswholeness of the soldier's uber-American brother. yes, we all were on the side of the nice "Arab" couple. But's what with Nassir being deported and turned into the INS? That was one step too far, and left me with big question marks as far as how the show is trying to set up its political alignment. I mean, its okay to have racial diversity as long as you are not an "illegal immigrant"? that's a rather contentious statement (especially with my background from Texas, where calling someone from Mexico an alien seems incredibly bizzare).
So over all, good Veronica. We had some LoVe drama, nice friend interaction, and problematic plot, which just makes you want to talk more about the show.
WELCOME BACK, old friend. :)
