dangermousieHusband thinks the first season was much better because we were dropped in the middle of the story: the season didn't start with Lilly's body being discovered, so this allowed us to jump into the thick ot things. This doesn't bother me because of course, that particular set-up in not anything that could be repeated, just as of course the emotional impact of the big mystery could only happen once (I doubt nearest and dearest will be bumped off on a regular basis). I do wish there was more snark, but hopefully Veronica will emerge out of the pod soon (I'd pay good money for a Veronica-Kendall match).
I was rewatching bits of "Ruskie Business" yesterday (ahhh, Logan torture. I love the scene where he breaks down in Veronica's arms. I'd say that's about his least favorite person to show weakness in front of, except for the fact that his loving family is so psycho and his friends so unconnected that there isn't anyone he could break down in front of anyway). The Russian bride thing makes me roll my eyes though, because Veronica, honey? I know you are not a Russian, but Russian women who come over here to marry don't come over for love but for economic security (much as Women did in the 19th century West). She wouldn't ditch the husband because he was bald on top or his jokes weren't too funny. As long as he had a job, she'd stay unless he was an abusive psycho (I guess no Russian bride for Aaron, then). So yeah. But the actress' Russian accent was OK.
I'd also wonder as to where Ekaterina got the postcard (don't tell me the guy in witness protection was dumb enough to write), except that would take my attention away from the Trina-Logan in the lobby scene. The bit where he gets up with hope in his face just kills me. The thought of sitting there, waiting for hours, and anticipating every time the elevator door opens and the whole "between hope and fear" thing is just awful, emotionally.
