Logan & Veronica -- periodic summer romance?
The question that nags in my little brain is as follows: Will Logan and Veronica's romance make it past the summer hiatus? I have this awful feeling that Rob Thomas is going to turn this into an "every summer, Logan and Veronica get together and then break up by the start of the next season." Now mind you, they should not have an easy time of it; they are both very complicated personalities, but please Rob, let them at least make it through the first few episodes.
I agree, wholeheartedly, without reservation. Really, I would be happy if they could make it past Christmas.
I don't think the flashback-to-summer bit would play well this time--we've seen it--so I think RT is going to have to do something different. They definitely need to avoid the Sam-and-Dianne pitfall where once the two star-crossed, sniping lovers actually get together the interest level of the relationship and the show end up tanking. I'd say they could write a long-distance angle into it all, but since both characters are regulars that would be tough. Keeping us happy with that relationship, but not satisfied/bored with it is going to be a major challenge for the writers next season. They can't very well have her think he's committed a foul crime (again) or have him rape her (which she has already thought once, and which was a rather unsatisfactory response to a similar character problem in Buffy).
Maybe Logan could join some kind of weird religion and Veronica could have issues with that. Something tells me that JD might be able to pull off that type of role fairly convincingly. Art imitating life.
Ha. I seriously think Jason Dohring is the only Scientologist actor I actually like.
But anyway, I think their best hope for complicating Logan and Veronica's relationship is to bring back Duncan. NO! I mean, she's pledged her undying forever love to the Donut, but did you see (in this week's repeat) how quickly the yellow came on her freshly-shtupped self when she saw Logan come out of the neighboring room at the Neptune Grand? Well, unquestionably Duncan "didn't do it right." Of course, if Teddy Dunn really is going to law school and has left Neptune for good, so much for that idea. Could someone please figure out which law school? He graduated from Andover and Northwestern, so it's probably a law school we've heard of. As Bubbles will tell you, I need know these things because I am so very "classist."
