rosawIt started innocently enough with Alias. But now it seems that every show I'm regularly watching has some major Daddy issue, with the possible exception of Gilmore Girls, which is much more the Mommy-issue show. Battlestar Gallactica. Check. Major Dad issues. Ditto Lost and Smallville. Boston Legal, even. And I love Veronica Mars a lot and I especially love her dad, he's got my award for most functional, healthy dad on the list of dad shows I'm watching this year(there's no way that SpyDaddy or even Admiral Adama are going to pass for "healthy" regardless of their love for their kids and abilities to function under pressure).
I am assuming she's lying to Veronica. There's just no way I believe that she threatened Jake Kane with a paternity suit and in response he had some security guy target Veronica in the wake of the death of his (?) daughter. I think what happened in that hotel room is far more sordid than Veronica's mom said and that makes me even angrier that Veronica paid for her mom's rehab. Plus, her "dad" -- Keith -- has been an exemplary dad (that we've seen) where mom has beenan abandoning coward clearly less exemplary. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
musesfool has some interesting comments here plus some general, well-deserved Wallace squee. And who could not love the cookie scene! Plus, I adore Weevil and Veronica's relationship. Last night's VM was all to the good with a touch of mother-daughter bittersweetness.
I'm ok with the season of the Dad issue. Looking forward to tonight's Alias.
