dangermousie | Thoughts on the newest VM ep

I loved it.

Thoughts on the newest VM episode are

Logan's expression when he was watching that True Hollywood story thing just broke my heart. It's amazing how he can look so vulnerable. Especially when they showed his mother. Dick isn't much of a friend (or at least has rhino skin) to want to keep watching even with Logan's request to change the chanel and not even considering that anything could trouble Logan about that program. Dick is really from another planet.

I get giddy every time I see Harry Hamlin. I just love watching Aaron Echolls. And not just because while he is an abusive, murderous SOB, he blames Duncan. At least someone doesn't think Donut is perfect. And the Kendall and Aaron scene (two sleazebags meet each other) is priceless. Especially when Kendall starts to strip "I can talk you through this." What does Aaron want Kendall to do/get in Logan's room, though?

This said, this tape business is silly. There should have been a chain of custody and verification and everything.

Logan and Hannah are kinda sweet together, but he is being a huge bastard and using her (that thing with the fake email that Hannah has condoms is low if effective). Ironically, he is screwing up with the one person who does think he is nice and believes in him (as the spitting incident shows, he is not Mr. Popular in town. Of course it also shows why he feels desperate enough to try the Hannah trick, as well). And as hs expression when he overheard Hannah defending him to her Mom shows, he is not insensible of how wrong he is being. He is going to feel horrible about using her by the time this thing is over, deservedly so. I can't wait till the fall out. When Hannah's mom says Logan is "ugly on the inside," she has a point, but the interesting thing to me is that Logan most likely agrees with her and hates himself for it. He even tells Hannah that maybe her father is right. Of course, what chance did he have to become a healthy and upright individual in his circumstances? But did they have sex? Please say they didn't. (Also, Hannah, I know you are giddy about the boy, but wait a bit before jumping in the sack, please. You do not want your first time to be with the guy who is using you). Ohhh, and boy, he is back into the Self-loathingville at the end, even if he got what he was aiming for. The look on his face when the surgeon gave in? Ouch. And I do love that he came to talk to V about it (he doesn't have anyone else to talk to, but I still love that he picks her). "I've done something horrible." I think I just melted. And talk about anvilliciouus. Jane (who is now Wallace's gf, yay) is told by Veronica "if my true love shows up, I'll be by the esspresso machine' and bang, Logan is there.

I am still on the fence as to whether V is jealous or just annoyed that Logan is using Hannah. I think it's a mix but I am not sure. I do like that Logan is amiably ignoring Veronica now (which probably bothers her most of all) as he's got more important things to think about (like jail) and it's not as if she is helping. And of course, Veronica has no room to be self-righteous as she's done things plenty of bad things to get information with much less cause.

And the whole scene with Logan and Cliff shows just why Logan is so desperate. I can see why he doesn't want to go to jail. But shouldn't Logan be able to afford hiring a proper PI to dig dirt on the plastic surgeon? It shouldn't be too hard. And gang members aren't the most reliable witnesses. So I don't think his situation is as bad as the show makes it seem.

Kendall and Cassidy's scene is comedy gold. "What did I tell you about thinking?" "It makes my breasts smaller." I wonder what Cassidy's plan is: his smirk after Kendall said everything is in her name indicates he has one (though what kind of an idiot investor invests when he thinks Cassidy's scamming father is involved).

Terrence Cook tried to break into his ex's place? Whyyyyyy?

And I like seeing Vinnie. And I loved the Runaway Bride and the MOTW.
