Anger is the path to the Dark Side . . .

. . . so don't get me started on missing characters. A process of elimination suggests that Percy Daggs III is filming a new Peter Jackson epic somewhere antipodal.

O.K., no more Battlestar Galactica shout-outs without also having Madison enter V's mind and interact with her, in the manner of the Baltar / Caprica Six relationship.

(Did I mention this would be stream of consciousness?)

Anyway, what a shock, the promo was just blatantly misleading. As noted, I hate that.

Earlier today, I read this in the Seattle Times:

Watch "Veronica Mars" for an early Valentine treat!

Sorry to be cryptic here, but you don't want to skip tonight's episode of The CW's "Veronica Mars." 9 p.m., KSTW/11. Trust me.

And don't take any bathroom breaks. Got it?

You'll understand what I mean by 10.

Should I be concerned that my response to the alleged "treat"^*—spoken in the direction of the TV—ran, in its entirety, like this: "Who f*cking cares?! Are you serious?!"? Or is it just a Mars/Venus thing combined with the pointless buildup?

Oh, I guess it is actually fear that is the path to the Dark Side. However, fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate, of course, leads to suffering. Not listening to your voicemail in its entirety figures in there somewhere.
