Speaking of VM, what's wrong with these writers? Why do they keep giving so much screentime and story time to a character who rivals Riley Finn for the title of Most Boring, Inane, Sexist, Blank, Block-of-Wood excuse for a character ever? He's not even worth the energy it takes to hate him. And honestly, it's hard to motivate myself to watch the show at all when he's there sucking up screentime.
And Veronica's not much better. I liked and sympathized with S1 Veronica... but S2 Veronica is bland and weak. And I know she's always had a soft spot for Duncan (she turned Logan in when she thought he killed Lilly, but she gave Duncan escape advice when she thought the same of him), but now that they're spending so much time together, her lameness comes out more and more in her personality.
I'm really trying not to hate Veronica. For one thing, it's not much fun to hate the lead of a show you're into. For another, I don't want to fall into the trap of disliking female characters for stuff that I'd forgive in male characters. (Although speaking of which... great post from [info]rahirah). But... all that aside, I'm really starting to dislike her. The emotional repression, the longing for "normal," the superior attitude... it's S6/7 Buffy all over again.
Please let the "moral" of this season be that "normal" isn't all it's cracked up to be. Because if they pull another Buffy on me, I'm going to be seriously pissed.
Oh honey. Just you wait. It'll be deja vu all over again. I feel it in my bones [heh].
