I really miss the good old days when Logan was an amoral jackass who
organized bumfights and harassed innocents. Veronica and Logan are
only interesting when they hate, hate, HATE each other. They need to
break up and stay broken up until at least the season finale.

None of the "new" characters introduced this season have caught my
interest. I would prefer to see more of Mac, Weevil, and the somewhat
shady lawyer, forgot the character's name, from Season 1.

Zombie Elvis...

I like to think of him as the second coming of Lionel Hutz. He even
has a similar voice.

I thought the storyline of the missing monkeys was ok but I am getting
a little tired of this Logan/Veronica on again/off again roller
coaster.

There has been very little character develop with Logan. This season's
Logan seems to be neutered.

Kristen Bell remains one of my favorite young actress. I think she has
done as much as she can to carry the show but VM could use a really
nasty villian like Logan's father to spark up the Season.

Interesting setup for dean mystery. Lots of good lines.

Decent episode with a few awkward moments.

The main plot line involving the monkey disappearance
was nicely done, although I found the two female scientists
pretty one dimensional to the point of caricature. I would
say the same thing about the "animal rights" people ,with
the exception of the guy who was interested in Mac. His
character had some depth. Speaking of which, the reveal that
the woman in his house was his sister rather than a girlfriend
was a cheat IMO. When you introduce somebody under those
circumstances wouldn't it be appropriate to identify their
relationship to you. rather than just say a name? Yes, I admit to
making an assumption about who she was, and was not amused
when the reveal took place.

Don Sample...

I had her figured for his sister, or something like that, right from the
start.

Rob Jensen...

Yeah, me, too. They were following Chekhov's Law in a particluarly
obvious and *bad* way. Only in good slapstick (and slapstick this was
not) and bad writing (which this was) do people NOT introduce
relatives to their friends when they meet.

I liked "conflicted Logan" in this episode, but thought the
business in the car between him and "surfer girl" was a little
more graphic than I like to see on this program. Normally,
I would not be thrilled to see yet another schmaltzy reunion
between Veronica and Logan. But in this case KB played it like
the pro she is, and I bought it.

Great to see Mac back again, and I loved her attempt to act
"Canadian" with Veronica. Cute beyond belief!
