I kind of thought the same at first, but it's sort of like that Chris Rock bit where he berates the people who brag about taking care of their kids. That's what you're supposed to do!

The constant references to that classic P.I. movie,
The Big Lebowski, always make me smile.
I guess that explains the hollowed-out eyes we saw on Grace at the hospital earlier this season.

The man I loved - the man who vanished - he never came back at all. But maybe he's still out there, somewhere. Maybe some day, when Gotham no longer needs Batman, I'll see him again.

It was weird to see VM all helpless and shit in the pool hall.
Duncan's dreams are getting weird.
It's always good to see Mac in an episode.
Logan almost lost the family jewels.

Aww...Adam Hendershott (Butters) doesn't make enough money from Veronica Mars, so he's starring in Pizza Hut commercials.

Someone on a newsgroup I read posted UPN's press release about tonight's episode and the alternate ending that'll be available online. About halfway through the article is a
MAJOR spoiler (though thankfully only what, not who).
Warning Spoiler! Click to show"In the exclusive alternate ending on AOL.com, a familiar character is murdered practically before Veronica's eyes."
I suppose the character might not die in the aired episode, but it wouldn't really make sense to release the alternate ending then. I suspect in the aired episode Veronica will find the person already dead.

Now that was a nice episode, not only a self-contained mystery case, but it springboarded the macro-mystery and also brought in the impact of Meg's condition.
Loved the scene between Charisma and Alyson, it looked like they were having fun with it as well. I was surprised at how much Trina was in this episode.
Looks like Mac is into the Beave. (Wait, that didn't come out right...)
How do Weevil and Logan beat the crap out of each other and not lose any teeth?

Holy crap was that awesome! And that alternate ending? Damn. I have to say, either Teddy Dunn's acting is really crappy, or Duncan has some serious lack of emotions. And damn it, why won't they bring back Wallace. If he's the one they kill off next episode, there'll be hell to pay.

This was an odd and cartoony episode. Fun to watch, yes, but Veronica, Trina, Kendall, and Celeste were all caricatures of themselves. I half thought it was all going to turn out to be a dream.
Kudos to your wife, Greg. The Meg thing is an awfully soapy turn, but I still have faith.
The alternate ending doesn't seem like it could have been considered for real. It seems like it was made for AOL.

Yeah. If only they had established that his character was on some mood altering medications...oh wait...never mind.
The aired ending was a lot better than the alternate ending. The fact that the nurse called security and walked out without trying to give Meg any medical attention seemed a little odd.

I thought that was kind the point. She was leery of the 09ers last year, and now she's starting to see some of that in her own actions not that she's back "in".
Regarding the VP, it was pretty clear that he wanted to keep himself clean and have others do his dirty work for him, kind of like certain current events. It was also a chance to knock Veronica down a peg, let her know she can be manipulated and that she's not as sneaky as she thinks she is.

Because Clemmons is unexpectedly clever: He recognizes Veronica's inabilty to leave well enough alone and her big brain will lead her to this inevitable conclusion, but also realizes that people who don't know Veronica would see this being a plan as incredibly unlikely, so he doesn't look like a Macchievelian schemer to the school board when they have to decide whether to put the job on Monster or promote from within.
And I absolutely believe Veronica runs this thing down. She simply can not let things go, especially when it has the slightest personal connection to her, and she can't resist invading privacy given the opportunity. It's pathological, really.

But Veronica wouldn't care about taking care of a plastic toy beyond keeping the thing from making noise. If she flunks a couple weeks of Home Ec, well, whatever - she figured her extracurriculars were, in this instance, much more important.

Keith reactively treated the baby better than Veronica did the entire time she had it.

Good call Greg's wife! I guess there is something to that women's intuition.
The episode was kind of a whirlwind. I had to back up a couple times to follow what was happening. Must get more sleep...

Man, I was so happy when Wallace showed up.
It will be interesting to see how Veronica deals with motherhood. I now see why there was the Baby Think It Over subplot.
Let me say I'm thankful for Keith's followup (summary) questions to the tape investigation because I honestly did not know what was happening there.
And how cute was Bell in that Santa hat?

Loved "The Todd" appearance.
So Aaron Eckles will most likely get off scot free now that the tapes are toast.
They raised the possibility of Veronica staying in Neptune after high school because her chance meeting with the lady from Hearst college.
And I literally raised my hands and said "Wallace! Yay!" at the end of the episode.

There were enough eyewitnesses to his criminal activities inclusive of his attack on Veronica, that its is unlikely he would get off scott free for just that reason.
