Perhaps, the end of the beginning?

Oh, it's Patty Hearst on Tuesday. Here is a quick Venn diagram illustrating how the CW's target demographic (A) intersects with the group of people who know about Patty Hearst and her story (B):

Now that the full episode order for the show appears to be 20 instead of 22, they'd better get cracking on those two other mysteries. This had better be Mystery No. 1 Payoff Episode. Who would have thought they would spend this much time on the rape mystery? I thought it was just going to be a little palate-cleanser of a mystery.

It might be a spoiler to learn that Hearst plays a _________. I wonder if a _________ would be involved in a pivotal episode if either of my suspects were guilty . . . but if a certain other character were guilty, then maybe a _________ would get involved somehow.

By the way, some of you basically never post. Just thought I'd throw that out there. No pressure.

Eegad I am so phenomenally annoyed at Veronica. I told MWR recently that what was bugging me most about this season is how much I find I really don't like Veronica. Poor Logan. The thought actually went through my head, "Gee, Veronica really doesn't deserve a guy like Logan." For shame.

Unresolved question from last night -- Parker was in on the fake rapes? I didn't think she was connected with the feminists.

I sound like a broken record, but WHERE THE HELL IS MAC?!

I thought the Patty Hearst casting was amsuing. "Patty Hearst, heiress"; "Selma Hearst Rose, heiress." However, I am probably one of the few viewers in the right age demographic to get the joke. I would have been much more amused at the casting of Patty Hearst if she'd been any good. Man, was she wooden.

Best line from this Simpsons fan: "Brant is the Waylon Smithers to Rose's Mr. Burns."
