Glee. The glee-est glee that ever lived

[dangermousie]

Veronica Mars season finale is a gift that keeps on giving. I keep randomly remembering bits of it during the day and I am all gleeful and happy and grinning like a lunatic at nothing. And you don't want to know how many times I've rewatched the last 10 minutes. It's fast approaching to double digits. But Logan. And Veronica. And how she stumbles into his arms after Cassidy jumps off, like she needs him to hold her up, to take care of her (for once), and they are both OMG so devastated and so relieved and so fucked up and falling apart and sticking together and OMG. Also, how crazy, if Keith had bought it on that plane, they would have lost their fathers the same night. And every time I forget about the glee, the Pieta thing pops into my head and I am beyond gleeful again and I have learned the art of ff-ing to the second past the boringness of Wallace/Jackie (she can be telling him she has been alien-abducted and all I'd be thinking is 'how are your lips not falling off under the weight of all this lip-gloss") into the Pieta pose. And how neat that on the roof, Cassidy is yet again confronted that it's not about him, not even after all his crimes, it's about Veronica. No attention yet again. As someone on TWoP mentioned, Veronica accuses him of the worst things imaginable: mass murder, murder of her dad, raping her, and what is Logan's reaction? "You are not a killer, Veronica." Logan ignores Cassidy, other than as a threat to Veronica's soul. It's all about Veronica, no attention to Cassidy. Heh. And sad, too. Because that was one irretrievably broken boy. The more I am learning about these families, the more it appears Logan is one of the sanest guys in Neptune which is VERY VERY scary.

And the first great post 2.22 fic is beginning to hit, too.

Btw, I want to use 2.22 icons. Shippy ones, not 'identity of the killer' ones. I think everyone on my flist who is into VM has already watched VM either on TV or on torrent. But if not, speak up and I will restrain self for another week, as don't want to spoil anyone.

And thinking about Firefly and "Our Mrs. Reynolds" it occured to me that Mal is an egalitarian but in a specific way. He hates inequality only as someone from a classist society could. It's a sort of lower-middle-class-chip-on-shoulder attitude in a 19th century or turn of 20th century England. And I love that he doesn't like helpless and weak and tries to get them to be strong (as with Saffron). After all, everyone on his ship, even River in her crazy way, is ultimately a strong indiviudal and his OTP Inara is no weak damsel in distress.

I *love* this icon. It's not spoilery at all, is it? It was just such a great Dick moment.

I found a bunch of shippy icons the other day and I'm just waiting to use them. :-)

You should do a V/L pic spam with stuff from this season! It was actually your S1 V/L picspam that had me liking Logan. I hadn't seen S1 yet, so I didn't know he could be nice.

Heee. Such a great icon. Yeah, I can't wait to use the shippy ones.

And I am definitely going to do a V/L picspam. The world needs more V/L.

was actually your S1 V/L picspam that had me liking Logan. I hadn't seen S1 yet, so I didn't know he could be nice.

Wow. *blush*

We started watching S2 before we saw S1 so Logan was a jerk to us! And then I saw all the V/L moments and it was like "Wow, if she was like that with him, he can't be that big of a jerk!"

Have you read the Rob Thomas interview at TV Guide.com? It has some small spoilers for S3.

This is totally the season finale that ate my brain.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I read that interview and am even more full of glee. I really hope VM gets renewed.

I saw 2.1 before i saw any of S1 (I watched S1 in the week between 2.1 and 2.2) and I liked him in it because he was so hurt and angsty and I am a sucker for this. But I didn't get full-on Logan love until I saw S1. First cracks were at 1.4 with Lilly's memorial but after "Return of the Kane" I was a goner.

[raisintorte.livejournal.com]

So do I!! I can't wait for the upfronts.

It took us longer to watch S1, because we had to find time to watch it together, and we wanted to draw it out a bit, but I totally agree with you on Return of the Kane.

I loved the final scene of the pilot, that kills me every time I watch. The look on his face.

These two really are epic. :-)

Now I am racking my brain as to what the final scene of the pilot is. Eeeeee. Can't remember.

RotK was such a pivotal ep for me. I started with disliking him and being amused to him (what Dick evokes in me in S2, only sharper in both because Logan unlike Dick is smart, and snarky) and by the end I wanted to cry for him. I still think the last scene of RotK is the best ep ending on VM. When he goes to fetch the belts...whoa.

When Weevil punch him and Veronica tells Weevil to stop, that's enough. I *loved* that.

The belt scene! That was our first clue of how EVIL Aaron was. So much happened in that episode. So much.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Oh, that scene. Yeah, love it. And how Logan that he is being beaten and just is incapable of backing down. Legacy of Aaron, I imagine.

The belt scene! That was our first clue of how EVIL Aaron was. So much happened in that episode. So much.

And the look on Logan's face. And the whole ritualized aspect of it. And his zombie mother sitting there, sipping her drink. Ugh. If there ever was a person who was better off being an orphan!

[raisintorte.livejournal.com]

Aaron probably did have something to do with that.

And the whole ritualized aspect of it.

It really was.

I hope we get real V/L next season. Not just an episode or two, but an honest to goodness relationship. I tend to get frustrated when shows do big on again off again couples.

(also? I love the fact neither of us has repeated a VM icon)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I really hope that too. Look at Farscape: they really made the relationship work while they were together, if not 'together,' because there was a lot internal issues that kept it from being boringly happy.

Too much breaking up-making up gets really dull.
