helloooooooo, i'm a caaaaaar

I've just been in a severe not-talking kind of mood lately.

Of note:

1. It's officially spring--the Navy boys have changed into their dress whites. Nevermind that most of them are only 18 or 19 years old. If I squint a little, they look older.

2. It's Megan's birthday today. She's been in Africa for over six months, and I still haven't sent her a letter. I'm officially the world's worst best friend.

3.
I don't know why I'm avoiding talking about the show lately. I think I'm in shut-down mode, I'm not letting myself get too excited about it now that it's getting better, in case I fall in love with it all over again and it either gets cancelled or starts to suck again. Plus, I'm still bitter that this season was so royally mishandled, and a few good eps isn't really making up for it.

That said, I'm sort of maybe possibly a little bit finally interested in who's behind the bus crash. I don't think for a minute that Veronica actually suspected Weevil--I think that was more about getting his guard up, about letting him know that she knows what he's about. (Tangent: I am, however, a little unsettled by her tacit approval of his indirect murder of Thumper. That's the second time this year she's just let someone get away with murder and I don't really understand it. Well, okay, Clarence Wiedman is really scary, but Weevil? She can handle Weevil. Is it okay as long as the person who dies "deserves" it? Wouldn't some people argue that Lilly "deserved" it?) Anyway, I don't know who I think it was, and I don't really care to untangle the mess of clues we've been given, but I don't think it's going to turn out to be what it seems. I don't think it was orchestrated for any petty or even logical reason, like Kendall wanting insurance money. This season is all about class warfare, and whether the intended target was the rich kids or the poor kids, it's the symbol that matters.

The Fitzpatricks are involved, but I think they're just the grunts. I don't know who's calling the shots (Woody? Lamb? Big Dick?), but I think this goes much deeper than just settling a grudge or taking out a witness or collecting insurance money.

But heh, I hope every 19th episode has Veronica investigating missing dogs. I really don't think that would get old. :)

OH MY GOD.

Thank you so much for posting about this show. I checked the summer schedule for WT a while ago, but this wasn't there yet, and...holy cow.

I KNOW! It sounds like the singularly best. show. ever. :p I think tickets go on sale this weekend, so I was lucky I hit snooze on my radio alarm so many times this morning that I heard the DJ announce it. :)
