Oh my god! I could not stop smiling over this episode! The scenes with V and L were too good. I loved the way he rushed to her rescue. And that kiss! It was so sweet, cute, and hot at the same time! I love this show!
Also, the relationship between Veronica and Wallace is so complex, it is written so well!

First one to post! Yay!

I called JTT being a bad cop. You know why? Because Logan knows psychotic jackass when he sees it. (Jump street - Hee)

I screamed at the kiss and I loved the awkward aftermath.

Duncan scares Veronica and me. Too bad Meg misses him.

I also liked the Veronica/Wallace break-up to make-up and Wallace calling her out on her using him.

About previews : The final scene is Logan being tasered by an ugly unknown woman - Huh?

So much to say. It's gonna be a long reply so I'm posting now then gonna sit and edit it because I don't want people to think I wasn't reading the other comments.

OH MY GOD. That episode was really really good. Yeah I know, could I be understating it even more?
But honestly. I loved all the plots tonight. I don't even know where to start . . .

I guess I'll start with what I'm sure lots of other people will be. (Besides the fact that every actor completely rocked tonight.) Wow, Logan clocked him huh? But anyway, I haven't even been a Logan/Veronica shipper (though I have loved both actors as separate characters). But even my heart jumped up to my throat with that kiss. Geez. All the actors expressions and actions before and after are so dead on. This cast is truly amazing. I was pretty touched that he went ot help her. I definitely got the storng feeling when he didn't want to leave her in the room by herself, it seemed like the mentality (I'm going to be there for someone this time. No way is she going to get hurt cause I'm not around, like with Lily.) Ok I stated that poorly, but at the same time as I'm typing this, someone is on the phone with me talking and it's very hard to concentrait on both. Bear with me.

Poor Veronica and Wallace. Though they both acted the hell out of those scenes together too.

I feel kind of slow that I didn't realize at first that it was Veronica talking to the principal. (He's an Ass, btw. What he said to the pep teacher. I was all "Yeah if Miss Dent, who DID have a background was here...she'd TOTALLY be supporting Veronica and even more in your face, so shut up.) I was just confused for a moment because I was like "huh? She wasn't rude to that lady at all . . ." Obviously a moment later I understood why it was said. *blushes*

Awesome job, Teddy Dunn. Just awesome job. Poor guy. Course, I never had any problems with Dunn through any of this show. I do think he plays a difficult character. (Meg? Yoiu really need to work on how NOT to bring about akward situations, though I understand your effort.)
I liked the return of Mac. Character continuity is fun.

I was GLUED to the t.v. this hour. (The person on the phone right now, I made them call me back, specifying 6 minutes since there was that much time left to the end of the episode and i was freaked out to be distracted even for a moment.)

I liked the touch of veronica adding the "angry kitty" thing to her door comment. Seeing as she thought he was assulting cats.

Good episode. The previews ruled, is it time for another episode yet?

That opening scene was hilarious. Wallace and Veronica's reactions had me laughing my ass off.

Was I the only one thinking about the school shooting in Arkansas when the fire drills were going off? Of course that's not how my school handled a bomb threat, they actually announced there was a bomb threat(way to keep everyone calm).

I have to agree with Wallace during his fight with Veronica. Keith and Alicia are happy, and Veronica thinks that Lianne will come home and that's alright. Wallace's mom would be getting burned.

I was hoping that Veronica's poll question would be the question from Heathers.

Duncan's getting crazy like Abel Koontz.

Holy 21 Jump Street referrence, that's 2 referrences I've heard to 21 Jump Street this week(the other was on Cheap Seats). I had a feeling that he was a cop when he got into Veronica's car.

Veronica quoting Mr Burns makes her even hotter.

Getting back at your bully is one thing, but setting him up so he'll go to jail is going to far.

Duncan's missing? Just when he had quite possibly his best episode.

Despite the JTT, that was pretty satisfying. There were so many moments where the characters seemed to get a little bit deeper. I'm liking Wallace more and more.

I can’t believe Logan and Veronica kissed!

Aw don’t you guys remember when Jonathan Taylor Thomas was the cutest and everyone called him JTT and he was on the cover of Tiger beat and all those other dumb “fan” magazines. You know, now that I’m thinking about it junior high was not pretty and neither is that mullet on top of jtt’s head.

Logan the Hero, that makes me happy, although I’m starting to think he might be Lilly’s killer just because he’s kind of the only one who doesn’t have evidence pilled up behind him, maybe jealous about Weevil and Lilly?

the best was when Logan called jtt jump street. Hee!

“I get the top bunk!” Hee it was all in Percy’s delivery.

Oh my God! I think I’m still deaf from the collective squee of the Logan/Veronica shippers. I have to say though that the look she gave him before she got in her car was hysterical. And here I was thinking the “surprising moment” tv guide was talking about was Logan hitting Ben. Damn!

I’m going to have to rewatch to fully understand the A plot.

That….that was a great kiss.
I was simultaneously thinking- there’s only 20 minutes left and there are 20 whole minutes left.
Rob probably could have stopped right there & I would have been so floored, I wouldn’t have remembered the A-plot until tomorrow.
But then there was Veronica throwing little star blades.
And then there was so much in that 20 minutes. The set-up bust. Freaky little suicidal-looking dude that set-up Norris. Duncan’s flight. Pep-Squad Lady growing a pair.

And here we are at credits & I didn’t even get any Weevil. Or Lilly.

Also- great intro. I loved the simultaneous Veronica/Wallace reactions.

And who was that with the taser gun in the promo???? And who was getting tasered?
I.MUST.KNOW.
I want to know everything- the rape and the murder, obviously. But- where's Duncan, who beat on Alyson, what will happen with Veronica's parents.
4 more episodes.
and Demian, it was 8:43 by my clock.

That was one good hour of television. I have to admit I squealed and jumped at the V/L kiss, I never thought it would happen this season! It was great. I loved the stares in the classroom afterwards.

The pep squad teacher storyline was cute. Jonathan Taylor Thomas wasn't as bad as I was expecting either.

I'm still recovering from shock right now.

Love the development between Keith and Wallace's mom with the subsequent you're my best friend declarations between Veronica and Wallace. I liked how they were both protective of their parent.

I'm also glad we saw the return of Corny, the guy from the pilot. He had a nice Harold and Kumar joke too.

This show rocks. Nothing is ever black and white, and the writers don't take the easy way out. When that kid told Veronica about how he had his lunch money stolen every day, I thought "oh damn, I can't hate this guy for setting the other one up." And the teacher, standing up for the paper. etc. etc.

Big squeeeees all around, no?

Maybe it's just me, but I felt tonight's episode ended on a really odd note-- it felt very unfinished, in regards to the actual creator of the site, as well as Joey Lauren Adams' character.

I was wholly expecting her to whip out a bomb and blow up the school then and there.

Great episode, Jump!Street!, but I felt something... lacking.

And Jason Dohring is hot.

God, that was great. And my best friend and I were on the phone, and I refused to spoil her, though I was hinting at it. So when they kissed...she was totally flipping out. It was hilarious, man.

ETA: I was totally in love with JTT as a 12 year old, so it was really...weird to see him as a bad cop on this. Very, very odd. But Veronica in Norris's house/garage? That. Was. Awesome.

I never really did have much of an opinion either way of LoVe. But after this episode, I have to say "no". Hot or not, I was shielding my eyes.

Looks like Veronica is starting to feel the more personal reprecussions of being a meddling kid.

None of us were sitting quietly during this one, huh? Holy crap. Ho. Lee. CRAP.

*breathes*

In chronological order:

Alicia?? Uh oh. And, Aw! I may be the only one who thinks this way, but better her than HoLianne. (Bunk beds. Heh.)

Wallace: Now With Backbone! He laid the smackdown on Veronica and she deserved it. But it's all good because it makes a better friendship.

Ms. Dent got knocked up? I love that Rob tied off that loose end. Details that lesser shows wouldn't bother with.

Acting, people. That one little blink from KB after she asked Duncan "Do you remember what happened that day?" One little blink that said about a page of dialogue.

Camera work: It's hard to describe, but I loved the great close-up on the stoner as he walked away -- but towards the camera -- from his locker. And then the off-kilter stuff with Duncan (and props to the cinematographer for the lighting in that whole scene). And the crane shot for The Kiss.

The Kiss. Well, first, The Rescue. The Protectiveness. And then, The Kiss.

Oh my.

Veronica was a little naive about Asshat ATF Guy, but she's a bit distracted. I'll let it go. Besides, she solved it in the end and gave Joey Lauren Adams her pride back. Aw.

P.S. "Hell, give me a stick of gum to chew and I'll do all three at once." That's the way to do a VMVO.

That was the hottest kiss in the history of TV. I thought it was just going to be that peck on the lips. Damn!

Glad to see Mac and Megan again. That scene between Duncan and Veronica; awesome.

We got Wallace and Veronica stuff as well,

But the kiss just made the ep. And that look at the end between Logan and Veronica....WOW!

Was Logan on in the first ten minutes or did he not show up until the phone call to his precious V later in the epi? Anything Lily-related at the beginning or was it just JTT plot intro stuff?

And, um, the kiss?

Wallace and Veronica's reactions at the very beginning had me laughing out loud.
Veronica's statement that her mom is going to come home...There are times when she shows her marshmellow center, or actually, just acts like the child that she is, and this was one of those times.

Hee, Demian, I was grinning so bad, partly just because I knew what everyone's reactions must have been.

Word.

I was reeling for about ten minutes. Every rational thought in my head was blotted out by THE KISS. And I'm not even a big Veronica/Logan shipper. I kept thinking, "Oh... my God." Now, wouldn't it just be SICK if he were the rapist?

Oy. I just wasn't expecting that... not even after Logan punched out JTT, which frankly, made him really, really cool in my eyes. I don't know if that's because he was protecting Veronica or because it was JTT.

JTT sucked by the way. I couldn't buy him being a FED. Maybe it's 'cause he seems so obscenely petite. And squicky.

The whole dating thing between Keith and Alicia just drifted away after it was the focus for the first ten/fifteen minutes, which was weird.

And Duncan. Wow the guy can act. I'm so happy that he had a scene where he could really show us he's not cataonic. Woohoo! And now I'm pretty sure he's not the killer.

Wait. I'm still reeling from the kiss. Damn, I thought I was over it.

Demian: Come on, you have to admit, that was a pretty awesome kiss.

I don't want them to date or anything. But that was extremely cool.

They are really trying hard to make Duncan look like the killer. I think *he* believes he did it now, because why else would his parents cover it up?

The Keith/Wallace's Mom thing was amusing and if Lillian comes back, it will make for some good angst. I liked how it highlighted Veronica and Wallace's sweet friendship.

Joey Lauren Adams? Voice still bugs and girl has not aged well. She worked in the ep, but I am glad she doesn't look like she is going to be a regular.

And yes, I am watching it again so I can watch the kiss 70 more times.

And I'm not even a twelve year old girl.
