S2: Megs Parents I don't really understand the whole arresting Duncan & Veronica, letting them go without saying a word then just sitting in-front of the house. Also I don't really understand the parents, Meg turned out OK That song, Run by Air, perfect for the quiet parts. I know I get the same emotions from the episode if I just listen to the song now. Also sounds kinda like GLADOS Great the forums automatically try and change url=video to an imbedded youtube, so enjoy it instead of a link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZT9t6oMBhI

The inference is that Lamb's dad did something of a similar nature in terms of abuse to him, and so I think he sat outside their house to say, "Hey, I'm watching you. Don't ever treat your kids like that again or I'm throwing you in a cell." Meg turned out OK because she was the golden child, but she was powerless to keep her younger siblings from being abused.

And even then it's pretty much inferred that Meg was abused as well, it's just that since she was smart she learned how to behave in order to avoid the brunt of it, while her siblings were not so lucky. Scenes like this one is also why I can't bring myself to hate Lamb, even though he acts like a dick Oh and Azure, you didn't take the HE stuff personally right?  I really like you as a poster and didn't want to come off as antagonistic.

Meg was fine because she's Ellen's daughter and a hunter to boot. She's a fighter No really, I've been doing my own rewatch over the past few weeks and it's really mind-blowing how many people I recognize in prominent roles here.

I picked up that the car rental dude was Joss Whedon on this watch through. I thought a dead students dad was Jimmy Kimmel so I guess I'm racist too.

You have no idea how many major TV stars ended doing small bits on that show. I mean the pilot pretty much opens with Sawyer from Lost getting dusted within two minutes.

I had this as my Facebook status last month when I realized how many people I saw on this show. I think it sums up my feelings nicely. There's something off-putting about watching Lily Aldrin be a bitch to Sarah Marshall after seeing her be hit on by Schmidt and dropping of Jo Harvelle at a party while Elliot DiMauro works as a private dick (I may have watched too much TV in my life)

Rabbi Raccoon posted:I've never actually watched Buffy. You should correct that, because Angel/Buffy were some of the greatest things on television at their best. Seriously, their episode called 'The Body' was the best examination of grief I've seen on television outside of Six Feet Under and certainly stands up their with their best episode. Seriously, the body has to be in the top 50 episodes of all times next to the likes of The Wire, Breaking Bad and so on. The first season of Angel was actually rather bad, it's pretty campy and low-budget, but really Season 2 is just great television from beginning to end. Anyone who loves Veronica Mars has to watch and love Buffy, there's a reason why Veronica Mars was compared to it so many times when it first came out. The same quick wit and fast-paced dialogues, humor, etc...

I always meant to get around to it, but all my roommates/friends who were into stuff like that always wanted to watch Charmed instead. And since I just saw that it's on Netflix, I guess I'll start it tomorrow.

At first, I found Season 1 a chore to get through, but at least it's short, and Seasons 2 and 3 are mostly incredible. Season 2, episode 3 is when I realized the show was going to reach great heights and I would stick with it, no matter what. The musical episode in Season 6 is probably my favorite single hour of television ever. And then Angel is even better than Buffy, except for its own weak first season.

It really starts with Season 2. If it's a drag, you should just watch those: 01 - Welcome to the Hellmouth 02 - The Harvest 05 - Never Kill a Boy on the First Date 07 - Angel 10 - Nightmare 12 - Prophecy Girl The others are not really that bad, they're just not 'Buffy' as we know it. Season 2 starts awesome from the get-go though

Nelly reference, so 2000. What the gently caress ever happened to Nelly? The idea of having a flyers for a party is also pretty dated in the age of texts and facebook. (Man, that was almost 10 years ago.) edit: Sheriff Lamb might be a massive dick, but letting all the kids run away and pick up the kegger is the best thing to do in that situation edit2: I really love the intro song, and it'll always be linked to Veronica Mars for me, the same way Califooooornia here we COOOOOOOOOOME will be associated with the O.C. Also where the gently caress is everyone

DVDs here sorry  And personally again the lyrics fit in 'A long time ago we used to be friends but I haven't thought of you lately at all' seem to fit Veronica pretty well And Weevil with the killer speech to Veronica. I love Weevil. And Cliff.

I love the photo teacher trying to explain the regular cam to Veronica, and she wipes out her own camera. Clearly that's where Quentin Tarantino got his inspiration for the pipe scene Also whenever I see that teacher, I can only think of rear end orgy

I think a lot of it has to do with  rich white boy with problems with a lack of personality to back it up. Logan could have easily fallen into the same trap, but he's^ way too loving awesome for that.

Oh that's my point, it would have been easy for Logan to be just as dreadful as Duncan/Duncan being awesome if the actor had been cast as Duncan and not Logan after the initial reading. This guy is just a bad actor and couldn't do anything with the material, when there was a lot he could have done with it, especially in the future.

I mean, there's a reason why he's had a whopping total of four small parts in the last 7 years, while Jason Doehring has had more than a dozen roles, including the lead of a series.
