The suspense is killing me

TV Guide says it's a new episode on Wednesday. UPN.com says it's a repeat ("Rat Saw God"). There is no preview on the UPN.com site, so I'm inclined to think it's a repeat. Grr . . . arghh.

Figures.

If you're needing to cheat on the health test, you'd better be cheating on every test

Quick random notes:

"Why's the Beav all snug with the chick from 'Ghost World'?" Hee.

I'd like to think Logan's argyle is an homage to our sidebar [in the old "Wholehearted Approval" blog], but I suppose not.

"Name it Logan . . . or break my heart." Awwwwwwwwwww. But I don't like the looks of Meg Ryan's dad.

Who's Sally?


Uh, Meg Ryan's dad is the plastic surgeon who said he witnessed Logan on the bridge (killing Felix). Isn't he? I could have sworn it was him, otherwise, why show the dad? I wonder what Veronica will think about this development. What am I saying, she probably won't even notice.

Mac looked so happy!!! Mac and the Beav. Cute.

I have no idea about Sally - I think I missed that part.


Yes, my first thought was that that was the plastic surgeon, but then I wasn't positive. Such issues are best left to my blogging teammate, who is uncanny. With the way the writing has been going, this raises a whole question of whether Logan just "happened" to meet that girl by chance and fancy her (doesn't she seem a little young for him?) or whether it's all an elaborate plot. Perhaps Veronica is in on it too and we will find out later that their estrangement was a ruse. See what happens when you play tricks as in "Donut Run"? There are consequences.

Something is wrong with the sound mixing on this show. At some juncture I invariably have to go back and re-listen to some line of Logan's dialogue.

There were many contrivances in this episode. Too many.

I thought Ms. Houser was a little over the top, even for someone trying to shift blame. Notably her comments to Jackie. And I think it was out of character for Clemmons to just sit by when Houser made the "trash" comments. Especially when you reflect that the phrase "white trash" originated in a time and place where "black trash" would have been thought redundant by most whites.

I'm slightly confused. Did Weevil end up with some of the money? That doesn't make sense. But then what was the "how Weevil got his new car" comment all about?

Do you suppose we're really going to see Weevil grow a full head of hair as the season continues? That's going to throw some of the 'shippers for a loop. Speaking of which, Logan's hair was looking a little off its game last night. A bit shorter or something. Not to worry.

Keith's book . . .

"Those Who Trespass" by Bill O'Reilly. I'm sure there are several levels of irony here I can't appreciate, not having read this fine novel.

Small unrelated other issue: you can't be "the next LeBron James" and have a $50 million contract and be checking out UCLA.
