  • Lamb Did What?

    They got away from the bus crash in this episode a little bit, but there is still plenty to talk about with this episode. What's going on with Duncan and the rich woman whose name I cannot remember. She bounced from Logan right over to Duncan. We have gotten to know Duncan's character a little bit better this season and I don't think he would have done anything like that to Veronica. But who knows - maybe it will become something and maybe it won't. Keith Mars is offered a new job by his old campaign manager - will be interesting to see if that turns out into anything. Veronica goes on a search for a kid being mentally abused by his family, or so she thinks. She figures out the case was not about a babysat boy but a girl in the house Meg grew up in. You could see the strange looks on Veronica's face as Duncan continued to talk about Meg throughout the entire episode. Lamb arrests Veronica and Duncan for being in that man's house and then he turns right around and let's them go without more then a "Out, Let's Go" to his name. He then turns around, goes back to the house, and parks it outside. Just waiting for something to happen. Seems like Lamb is both a better guy then we might have previously thought or he simply has had a past which is slowly catching up with him.moreless

  • Very well built up episode that really hits hard with the conclusion.

    "Perfect"

    Where to start - okay, first of all, 7 episodes into the show and there've been nothing but 9+ episodes for me, and out of that 7, 3 were 10! This episode joins the 10 club.

    The ending alone blew me away - such an amazing twist and that musical montage... woah. Perfect music and a very subtle but amazing development for Sheriff Lamb.

    The twist, that, it was actually Meg's sister who was abused by the parents was huge. In addition the way the Goodmans treated their kid was really weird too, there definitely is something up with Woody.

    Anyways, I really enjoyed the episodic case and not just because of the ending, but admittedly, it was really up to the conclusion wether this episode would succeed or fail. Well, it turned out to be EPIC, so obviously it was a success.

    Veronica babysitting was definitely funny(Best part: I WANT ICE CREAM!) and it's intersting to see how her and Duncan's relationship is unfolding. Not neccesserely in the good direction as it seems that Veronica's still bothered by Meg, though she has a strong reason. Duncan just can't stop mentioning her every once in a while.

    Another interesting development: Logan dumping Kendall who then went naked into the bathroom to visit Duncan. But what exactly happened there? Not sure yet. And finally, turns out that the guy who claims to have seen Logan stab Felix is a plastic surgeon who is involved with drugs. What's next?

    Anyways, another fantastic episode, that, might not have been as closely connected to the show's overall arc as the previous installments, but still managed to be extremely epic and entertaining, definitely a high point of the show.moreless

  • A great and funny episode, the best one of this season so far.

    How I enjoyed watching this one! After having to put up with a lot of uninspired writing this season I was reluctant to continue watching. But in the end, Veronica Mars always pays off. Be it with an explosive finale or with finely crafted one-offs like this. I found Veronica just as snarky as I want her to be and Duncan even had some half-decent character development going on there. The abuse plot was very absorbing (as far as case-of-the-week plots go). I'm beginning to realize that Wallace leaving felt good to me. He never got much screentime before but I always found him a nuisance. Hope he's not coming back soon but I bet he will.moreless

    I thought that this was a really funny episode. Seeing Veronica babysitting was hilarous her dealing with kids. It was nice of her to help Duncan with helping an ex girlfriend by locating a child she contacted the state about. It was really sad to see Veronica and Duncan find Megs sister locked in a dark room while her parents were not home. I was really mad when Lamb arrested the two of them but i was happy to see him let them go. I was surprised that Lamb went back to the house found the room and told the parents that he will be watching them.moreless

    • Mr. Fuller: (to Veronica) Saturdays, of course, I'm on the boat by myself if you ever want to come by, smoke a J, fool around. Edit
    • Veronica: (voice-over) (looks at Gia's parents' shelves where she has to drop her shoes) They kill their guests and steal their shoes. (hears girlish laughter and looks horrified) Please tell me they kill their guests. Edit
    • Logan's voice-mail: It's Logan. "Life's tragedy is that we grow old too soon and wise too late", Ben Franklin. Veronica: (on the phone) The good news is, I'm perfect the way I am. The bad, your plastic surgeon is a mensch. Edit

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Logan: You've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet! Logan is alluding to the famous line "I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king" from Frank Sinatra's song "That's Life". Edit
    • Betina: When was the last time you had a lunch like this? Dick: When I was a Brady. Dick let it shine through eating lunch together like the family in The Brady Bunch isn't exactly Casablanca's style normally. The Brady family was seen as the archetypal perfect family and the plot lines of the show was rather clean cut. Edit
    • Veronica: My Spidey-sense is tingling. Something bad is happening. An obvious reference to the character of Spiderman and his spider sense which warns him of impending danger. Edit
