I don't want to think less of Elena for not having watched the last three weeks of Veronica Mars until just before last night's episode, but it's impossible. She's drpping the ball, and I can't have it.

On that rather odd note, here is a transcript of our IM about the past four episodes. (Note how cleverly she weaves her desire to see Ken Marino's sack into the conversation.)

Elena says: I watched...

Jen Star says: And?

Elena says: I liked the three episodes I missed but found last night's pretty boring. I kind of missed why Thumper killed Felix, was it for the Fitzpatricks?

Jen Star says: Yeah. He wanted to take over the drug trade, so the Fitzpatricks made him do it to test his loyalty. I think.

Elena says: What did you think of last night’s?

Jen Star says: I liked it. Laughed aloud several times.

Elena says: We're not supposed to be surprised that Woody is involved in the bus crash tho right?

Jen Star says: If he is.

Jen Star says: You don't know that.

Jen Star says: He has to be a red herring. It's too obvious.

Elena says: Let's hope so. I found it unbelievable that no one mentioned that the hangar where the bomb was was owned by Woody and just being borrowed by what's his name.

Jen Star says: I'm sure Keith is holding onto that.

Jen Star says: Lamb is getting worse and worse, eh?

Elena says: He's great. I loved him and Madison. I also loved Logan and Hannah's storyline. What is Cordelia, oops, Kendall up to in the shower tho?

Jen Star says: Taking hair samples for Aaron.

Elena says: I knew it was for Aaron, but hair samples huh? To what end? To frame or prove Duncan killed Lilly?

Jen Star says: Frame him. Aaron did it. Rewatch the finale. And what was with Beaver? Is he gay? Is he still f-ed up about Veronica and the date-rape? Is he that emasculated by his brother? He was all kinds of weird. I said to [my neighbour] C that he's even more of a project than Logan. "High-school boys suck," was her response.

Elena says: Poor word choice on my part, should have said, “trying to prove” cause I don't doubt Aaron is guilty. I think both bro issues and date-rape issues but "good luck getting laid" was way harsh. Interesting.

Jen Star says: He didn't say that!

Jen Star says: He said "good luck in life."

Jen Star says: Haha!

Elena says: Oh yes he did, I went back and watched the captioning.

Jen Star says: NO!

Jen Star says: Holy CRAP!

Jen Star says: Harsh.

Elena says: Way harsh huh! He has some serious issues. What's his plan with Kendall and the business do you think?

Jen Star says: Not a clue. He's such a mystery. I think I'm starting to love him...

Elena says: I thought it was just savvy business but now I think it's much more. I liked Logan and Veronica dancing.

Jen Star says: It was such a tease tho. I think that's why the ratings have fallen. People want to see Logan and V together (and by people I mean teen girls—and me), and won't watch if they aren't, no matter how much it makes sense in a "he's bad for her" way.

Elena says: I enjoyed the tease. I don't want them dating again, but the scene was pretty good, the attraction tempered by the bad feelings. It was enjoyable.

Jen Star says: And I agree about LV. They need to be around one another more.

Elena says: Dick is fast becoming my fav. He's so funny.

Jen Star says: He's such a putz!

Jen Star says: I like him too, but favourite?

Elena says: Yah, I mean what with all the choice now? I still love Weevil but all he's doing now is violence which is boring.

Jen Star says: I like Vinnie Van Lowe the most.

Jen Star says: I'm barely kidding.

Elena says: I'd love to see him and V get together. I love him too!

Elena says: I didn't want to admit it tho!

Jen Star says: Eew! Not together!

Jen Star says: I don't ever want to see him naked!

Jen Star says: Yick!

Elena says: Um, eww. No naked. I didn't even want to see Logan naked. You don't think they'd be a kick together?

Jen Star says: I'd rather see her with Clarence Wiedman.

Elena says: Really? Huh.

Jen Star says: They were awesome together in Rat Saw God.

Jen Star says: He's very intense. I like that. Cornballs are fun to laugh at, but not to schtup.

Elena says: I don't disagree, but he's not even around. Why would he come back?

Jen Star says: He wouldn't necessarily. I'm just sayin'.

Elena says: Oh. I just think Vinnie and V would drive each other nuts and be a lot of fun to watch.
