Please don't tally answers until after this Sunday -- here in New York

I'll give that a 3.5 ... something oddly disappointing about it, but I
suppose it's more that it seems like setup than delivery.

5 stars (Evangeline Lilly)
0-1 stars (Charles Manson)

A good 'character' episode, with lots of great individual scenes, this
episode also gave us just enough hints on the 'arc' front that I now
have a theory on what happened. (We'll see if I'm right over the next
two weeks.)
But the Veronica-Madison scene was one of the funniest in a long time,
the Veronica-Mac stuff (and even the Mac/Butters stuff) was all good,
and I definitely enjoyed the Veronica/Logan developments (glad to see
there's still some real feelings on both sides there!) though I agree
with others that Logan having Gia in his room would have been a much,
much better twist than him having Cordeli... er, Kendall there.
Demerits, of course, for scenes of Jackie and... anyone.
Ian (I'm not sure I'll enjoy next week as much (too much season #1
overhang...), but I am looking forward to the finale.)

Good episode. Not as good as last week's barn burner, but still very
interesting.
Lots of twists and turns in the main plot, and some major movement in
the Woody/Keith subplot. I also liked the ending very much. I was
concerned that we were being led towards a Veronica/Logan season ending
reconciliation. Fortunately, that now appears to have little chance
of happening. I'm glad that the VM writers resisted the temptation to
put them together again. They are much more interesting apart then
they are as a couple.
Smooth move by Keith to get some alone time with Lucky. But points

Can't figure out how that was supposed to work. Handcuffs don't have
individual locks with unique keys. Any handcuff key will open any set of
cuffs. That's one of the reasons why cops have it drilled into them to
Robert Huff...

It is my understanding that:
a) any handcuff maker uses one or two key patterns for all their models.
b) almost all departments buy handcuffs come from two or three major
suppliers. (Peerless, Smith & Wesson, and Hiatt(??))

Been doing the cop thing for seven years now and have never seen a pair
of cuffs my key won't open.
In fact, whenever I take someone I've arrested to the US Marshals for
processing, they take the cuffs off and throw them into a huge drum full
of thousands of pairs of cuffs. They're all interchangeable, both the
cuffs and the keys that open them.
And like I said, a bolt cutter will snap the cuff chain like a knife
through butter, so rather than have his deputy spend hours pulling a
sink apart looking for the key, why not spend 30 seconds and just cut
them apart?
vague disclaimer...

I believe Roger Rabbit answered that question quite comprehensively.

Gods help us, there are entire websites devoted to selling handcuff keys. I
searched the web for this guy right up, who seems to have at least 20 variations:
and others say they have keys for 'most modern standard' models, which
sounds like there must be non standard models out there.
|
|
thoroughly search the belt and waistband area of any suspect they
arrest. Bad guys been known to carry handcuff keys hidden on their
person so that they can pop their cuffs if they get caught.
And even if Keith had some magical set of handcuffs that were completely
different from any other set of handcuffs in the world, then it would
still have been a simple matter for Lamb to just walk out to the patrol
car and get the set of bolt cutters that come as standard equipment in
any black-and-white and just cut Keith and Lucky apart.
|
taken away for the characterization of Lucky. Way over the top acting
which I found irritating. I won't even comment on the Wallace/Jackie
smoochfest. Yuck!
I liked the alternaprom scenes, especially those involving Dick and the
"party pig". Also, I cracked up whenever Mac was on screen. Could
she have gotten any further away from "what's his name" and still have
been slow dancing? I didn't have a clue who Madison was until Veronica
called her by name. Wasn't she a regular character on the show last
season? Talk about being "written out".

No kidding? I do remember her a lot last season, especially in the
early episodes. But, except for the elevator video tape scene with
Lamb, I can't remember seeing her at all this season. It might be
the change in hair colour that is confusing me.

Glad to know that Mac had dinner on a pirate ship though (-;

3.0 After two thrill a minute episodes this seemed incredibly turgid in
comparison
