Alternate Ending

Well, let's be thankful that was only the alternate ending. They need to be careful about moving things along by giving Veronica the most incredible good (or bad) fortune imaginable.

This was an odd episode where the MotW served mostly to fill in backstory on characters. I would rather see characters developed by their own on-screen actions than by what people say about them. Also, I will be interested to see if any of this stuff about Trina ends up mattering for anything else. Seems more likely this was just a way to get AH back on the show to collect ratings from her constituency.

I thought Veronica seemed even more detached from the other characters than usual. And she seems really slow to pick up that the VD relationship is messed up. One of the features of Veronica's character is that she is much better at judging the character and motives of strangers than of those close to her. Think how often she has been blindsided by close people--mom, dad (re Alicia), Wallace, etc.


Agreed. I swear if she doesn't dump Donut soon I may become very angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
