Logan ranting, plus my nose.

[orange_crushed]

I am cranky and sore. My nose hurts. It hurts like I've been punched, although I am certain I have not been punched; unless I am under a mind-wiping control spell triggered by a childhood song, like Spike was. Hmm. One never knows. WHAM !

Owwwwww. Maybe I slept on it wrong. If it still hurts tomorrow morning, I'm going to see the doctor; like they're not tired of my mug yet. ;)


Current Veronica Mars Status: Really Fucking Cheesed Off. The Logan torture has resurfaced, big-time; and not epic torture anyway, no sweeping adventure and conspiracy, where he is so hot and mixed up, ahhhh; but small torture, humiliations, like flunking a project that he worked hard on and getting laughed at in class. I mean, really ? Rob Thomas, I get it: you don't like Logan;. You want him to suffer. You think that's funny.

I don't. Nor do I find amusement in harassing puppies, treading on the backs of people who are already down, or kicking the unconscious. This season has done shit for Logan. Recent spoilers make it abundantly clear that's not going to stop anytime soon.



But. Did you really have to bring Keith into it ? For anyone who hasn't seen the opening, Veronica and Piz are on screen in her room, studying/snuggling, and Daddy Mars comes in to crack a joke; making sure on the way out to drop a ine that boils down to "Logan's dumb." (Nice that you have a gentleman caller with more to talk about than how high the waves are breaking;, or very close to that phrasing.)

So, surfers are dumb ? Logan's dumb? Logan's not even on-screen ! Logan's not involved. Nobody had even referenced Logan already. The last time we saw Logan and Keith interact, it was grudging respect and understanding for their mutual object of affection. Now, Keith is cracking jokes about Logan's depth and intellect in front of Veronica's new boyfriend ?

I feel like RT has gone crazy with the idea of using characters as mouthpieces for whatever opinion he happens to hold at the time. Keith has more class than to insult the man who saved his daughter, repeatedly. Keith just has more class, period.

Bah. I suppose fanfiction was created for just such character assassinations... or was it to perform character assassinations ? Sometimes I get muddled on that. Kidding, I love fanfic. Hmm. I'm going to write a fic called The Day My Nose Didn't Hurt.

That day would be an awesome day.


Edit: DUDE, FU RICH TEXT. F.U.

I've been weeping for Veronica Mars for a long time now. *sniff*

Season 3? What Season 3?

[orange-crushed.livejournal.com]

I AM BLOCKING IT LIKE CHILDHOOD TRAUMA, WTF. I just don't understand, this season has been so scattered and emotionally hollow. Bah.

I'm just going to go home and hold my season one and two DVDs tightly, and weep.

I've never wanted to take a show away from a creator as much as I want to take VM away from Rob Thomas. At the risk of being wanky and fannishly entitled etc, he doesn't *deserve* those characters; they're too good for him.

(I blame him for your sore nose as well.)

[orange-crushed.livejournal.com]

Rob Thomas punched me in my sleep, emotionally though.

I don't think it's a wanky or overly entitled thought- it's entirely reasonable to feel that a creator has lost the plot, lost touch or focus, especially when there's a team of people working on the creation, all with their own thoughts and agendas and plans. I wish that RT would take a minute to remember what made his show different, like the race/class struggles, the underdog fight, the family relationships and intrigues, the noir aspects, etc. The deep-Neptune stuff that made the whole place so watchable, and so real.

The thing that gets me most, more than the V/L drama, more than the college problems, is that this show doesn't feel set in Neptune anymore. The twisted, dark underbelly is gone- pimps and hookers are played for laughs instead of what they really are, a dark offshoot of the sex and drugs that run the town. The gambling/bookie storyline with the Dean owing money or favors was dropped- that seedy crime boss ? We never see him again. Hearst U could be set in Oregon or New York for all we see the outside world. There's no race or class struggle- hell, there's practically no race at all.

I loved that horrible, rotted-apple town.

RT probably punched you while you were sleeping. I wouldn't put it past him.

I think the worst part is that he still thinks he's a genius even though he's putting out this crap. Not only was a severly pissed off about the dig at Logan, but since when does Keith let a guy tangle his legs with Veronica's in her bedroom? Remember when he met Troy? Or when he told Duncan that he hoped Wallace won? RT is not only assassinating Logan, but he's fucking up all the other characters too. And I hate him for it.

Okay. Need to calm down now.

[orange-crushed.livejournal.com]

Seriously, FLAMES, FLAMES ON THE SIDE OF MY FACE- I do hope you've seen Clue, otherwise you'll think I'm insane. :)

Keith is classic overprotective dad- plus, last ep he just caught Piz drinking underage in a bar and busted him. WTF is with the Saint Piz crap ? Keith would be eyeing the shotgun and shovel just like every other Y chromosome that walked through his door. He knows how much she cared for Logan and how much the Logan breakups hurt Veronica- he saw it. He's not a shitty father, he wouldn't remind her of that pain for a cheap joke in front of somebody else. It was really the Keith thing and not the dissing Logan thing that made me so angry.

Wow, now I need to calm down ! Ha, it's okay if we're angry together. I can only hope this is all leading somewhere good, but I really don't know anymore.

[flinkkamingo3.livejournal.com]

I have, but I still think you're insane. J/K, J/K.

Dude, I completely forgot that Keith caught Piz using a fake ID. What the hell is wrong with him?

I'm not sure either. And if it doesn't, I think I might arrange for an angry mob. You have any pitchforks?

[orange-crushed.livejournal.com]

I will buy pitchforks and tar and feathers if you provide the lemonade for the after-mob party !

In that scene they're playing Keith like dumb but lovable sitcom dad. WTF. That's not my Keith Mars. Just, everything I hear about this season goes from bad to soap opera to worse.

logan can't catch a break

[(Anonymous)]

logan gets abused by his dad, logan gets accused for murder, logan loses Veronica to trust issues even though he tried all season to do everything right..
