Well, you really have to suspend disbelief here, because she surely would have been challenged for cause and if not bounced for that, a peremptory challenge would likely have been used to knock her off the panel, in the real world. Each side gets the ability to seek the removal of a potential juror from the panel, for no reason at all. Those are called peremptory challenges and the request for removal does not have to be explained. Challenges for cause have to be explained in the context of bias or something similar and such challenges are ruled upon by the judge, who can deny the request for removal for cause. Now, in this case, arguments militating in favor of keeping Veronica on the jury are present for both the defense and the prosecution, but in all likelihood, to avoid reversal on appeal she would likely have been bounced. Also, the arguments in favor of keeping her on the jury can be used to prompt kicking her off, by the other side. Don't let anyone kid you. Neither side wants a fair unbiased jury. The whole point of the voir dire process is to pack the jury with people you think will be sympathetic to your side. With both sides trying to accomplish the same thing, you actually have a better chance of ending up with a fair jury, believe it or not. And, of course, we don't know who else was on the jury panel, right? So, there could have been others that the lawyers deemed more worthy of a peremptory than Veronica. And, yes, I'm enough of a cynic and a realist to know that "fair & unbiased" isn't the goal of the legal teams. It's a high-stakes game of Risk, placing the right pieces in just the right places and abandoning the indefensible. That it is. ;D

Was Lamb hitting on Keith in the gym? 12 angry gentlemen plotline though wouldn't someone like Veronica be deselected right away?
Veronica cooking Christmas dinner! love the Veronica/Keith relationship Logan like the shot of Veronica standing up into frame solving the transition to college problem, of course man, this town is corrupt Wallace! I believe that "full-time student" wins the "get out of jury duty free" pass. At least it does in Texas. Of course, it was the Christmas break. Still suspect the ex-sheriff's daughter might have gotten dumped during voir dire... BTW, can anyone tell me how to pronounce "voir dire"? Think it rhymes with "noir" and the second part is like "deer"

Oh I can, I can. Probably Onjel too. I agree - ohh - I have soooooooo many problems with this episode. . . . . . picture a feisty pixi.

With both sides trying to accomplish the same thing, you actually have a better chance of ending up with a fair jury, believe it or not. I blame Clarence Darrow. This is why, if I ever get put on trial for anything, I'm gonna join Mensa, and try and force a constitutional crisis by demanding a jury of my peers.

I enjoyed this episode. Maybe I was just more keyed up knowing that this is the last episode for quite some time, but I found myself reacting quite emotionally at several points in the show. I really felt for Veronica. She has to deal with Duncan, a lunkhead of a boyfriend who wants to believe that Meg's pregnancy isn't going to affect their relationship. She took it much better than I would have, and was very supportive of both Duncan and Meg in the hospital room. Did you notice the look Meg shot Duncan when she tried to convince the nurse to let the two of them stay, and Duncan jumped in with, "No, we should go so you can rest." I'm sure she was thinking, "THAT'S ALL I'VE BEEN DOING, YOU DOLT! I WAS IN A COMA!!
I was so pleased to see the Keith/Logan interactions. At first, I was a little surprised at how jokey Logan was acting. I believe the last time Keith and Logan were in the same room, Logan was breaking a lamp and Keith was slamming him into a wall and screaming at him, right?
But when Keith came to Logan's hotel room (a little too late to get the tapes back, but ah well) I was very pleased. Logan really needs a good male role model in his life, and I think Keith is willing to be that for him. Perhaps that is wishful thinking on my part.
And then, I admit it, I got a little misty when Veronica opened the door and Wallace was there! SQEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! I immediately rewound my tape and watched it again--and got misty-eyed all over again.
It's going to be a long six weeks.

Well - I haven't read any comments yet - except the Sharky Voir dire question and I have a feeling that many of the Scubies won't feel like me but I didn't like this episode at all.
And - lest my fellow S'cubies assume it's a shipping thing - rest assued. I've laid my little shipping desires in cold storage where Rob apparently placed all the chemistry/sparkage between Logan and Veronica. This feeling I have has nothing to do with shipping.
I look at various things when I watch an episode. Number one - does it entertain me? If I'm watching it, chances are I'm already invested in the universe. I watched x-philes and Buffy through the bitter end. I watched the final season of Beauty and the Beast after they killed Catherine. If I care - I'm there and I will defend my universe with my most fierciest, firey passion.
Because I'm just kind of passionate. ;D
But this - this my friends was my Drinking the Kool Aid episode. (my least favorite, never rewatched, didn't like it in the least episode from Season 1). I mean I watched Veronica and Duncan sex and this is far, far worse.
And this is just my opinion - as I said, I have a feeling other S'cubies probably liked it.
First of all there were nuggets of goodness scattered about. Wallace appearing all happy ending, it's a wonderful life style was obviously a perker upper. Santa hat VM having Christmas cheer with Keith - too cute for words. Crying Logan - so, so pretty. And the Veronica diss about Thumper's name - hee, hee, hee - my only genuine snicker.
So what was SO wrong with this episode? My friends - it was boring. Onjel - did you like this? I mean seriously - Veronica would never in a million years be selected to be on that jury or have been put in as foreman.
I love the movie 12 Angry Men. I mean love it with a fiery passion. Seriously love it. I hate that they used this movie -to make a lameass ripoff jury scenes that sent me careening into boredomville.
12 Angry Men is a masterpiece. This piece of fluff - boring. Ripping off characters or themes only works if it is well done. These scenes - I so didn't care. I mean I was bored. BORED? Pixi - bored during VM - I mean I kind of feel like I need to go to confession. Haven't I like committed show sacrilege?
Let's move on to the acting. Lame shows can be redeemed by kickass acting.
Um . . . S'cubies should maybe sit down here because I thought even Jason didn't do his best. I mean - yes he sold the crying scene so kudos but serioiusly? His scene with Keith? Just didn't resonate the way they usually do. Now it was Jason so it was good but I was expecting more.
Keith was good, Alona good - do I need to mention how much Duncan sucked? Okay - moving on then.
I didn't buy Veronica accepting this. Yes Spring will have sixty reasons for why she still clings to her normal boyfriend (which will all make sense) but I wanted her to seriously kick some Duncan ass. I am trying to care but honestly Veronica - here - a little ditty for you:
So, in the words of the great Judy Garland as she wrote a letter to Clark Gable in the song "You made me love you"
Dear Veronica Mars, I am writing this to you And I hope that you will read it so you know My heart thudded like a hammer, I can barely stutter or stammer when I see that you actually still lurve the Donut hole.
I know I'm just another fan of yours but I thought you'd want me to write and let you know oh oh oh
You made me love you, Season 1 was just so fine, I watch it all the time You made me love you, Solving every mystery, a sassy, feisty history,
I don't understand this, "normal" girl who's still with Duncan I want to run, I want to scream, and do some thumping.
You made me sigh for, I didn't want to tell you I didn't want to tell you I want some sass that's true, a little snark, a little spark, Indeed I do, you know I do
Give me, give me, give me what I cry for you know Logan's got the kisses that you'd die for Give my Veronica back to me!
And the whole point of that? I love Veronica, I just want her to be sassy, I won't take crap Veronica again and we are 10 episodes in and I hate to have to keep watching this Veronica.
Sigh!
Plus I guess Lilly is the love of Logan's life, while Meg is the love of Duncan's life and looks like Veronica is still the love of Leo's life.
I hated the way they killed off Meg. She deserved better than that. I think the episode should be called Death Stalks the Pregnant Comatose Patient or How I survived a Horrific Bus Crash only to be slain by an Evil Blood Clot in honor of Meg's soap opera, albeit off-screen death. And why oh why would the hospital call Keith? Other than plot device I don't get it.
I'm guessing this episode is going to be important in the season arc. And while it was basically tossed in there, I gather we are supposed to see that Veronica is no longer accepted among the 09ers. Whatever.
And why is Dick the one who tells them Meg is awake? Is he on the hotline with Keith as to who gets called regarding Meg's condition?
Oh and Duncan - blithing trotting off for the hols with the family while the mother of your unborn child lies in the hospital - you know - they should design Christmas cards for that wonderful feeling.
Eeek- I'm starting to let my Duncan feelings seep out so I should probably end this extremely long post.
As I said, I have no doubt others liked this. My boss walked in raving about it (making me wonder if I had a special For My Eyes Only episode airing last night) and I grant the moments of goodness.
But overall, color me unimpressed. This is what they air opposite a Lost repeat. This! '.

Had a power outage recently in my area and forgot to reprogram my VCR. Instead of taping last night's ep, I got an hour of the Speed network. Anyone know if this ep will be rerun on UPN or MTV later in the week? Thanks.

It's different in each UPN market although usually on a Saturday or Sunday evening. My local runs it on Saturday at 7pm but I was in Phoenix recently and they reran after midnight on Sunday.

LadyDi - let me know if you don't see it because I could send you my tape at some point. Hee - I'm not that attached to it. Well, I still want it because there was Keith and pretty Logan but if you can't catch a rerun, let me know.

Eeek- I'm starting to let my Duncan feelings seep out so I should probably end this extremely long post. <snipped for space> But overall, color me unimpressed. This is what they air opposite a Lost repeat. This! '. You make a lot of valid points, even though I had no strong feelings one way or the other regarding the episode. Except for Wallace, 'cause that made me very very happy. As for Duncan and Veronica's reactions to Meg's pregnancy...I don't think what happened last night is the final word on their feelings. I think Veronica is still angry, but has put it on the shelf to deal with after things have settled down. I also think that without Wallace, she's sort of lost her compass, so to speak. Wallace definitely serves as the voice of reason, and is not afraid to call her on her bullshit. She has had no one to share all the "shots fired" at her over the past several weeks, and I think she's just spun. As for Duncan, he has never really had to take responsibility for anything, and is one of the most compartmentalized characters I've seen on television. Duncan is the prime example of the cosseted child of privilege. Lily's death? Trauma, followed by a blackout, followed by his parents doing a masterful job of cover-up and putting him on anti-depressants. Finds out he might be related to the woman he loves? Cuts her off completely, gets drugged, has sex with her, and runs. Obviously, a mark of someone who has problems dealing with reality. Then again, when and in what context would he have ever learned those coping skills? The car smashing scene in "A Trip to the Dentist" is a big red flashing sign of the reaction of someone who has never not gotten what they wanted. Now, in Season 2, given that background and his relative affectlessness, I wouldn't be surprised if he was still on the anti-depressants, possibly to avoid freaking out Veronica like he freaked out Meg in "A Trip to the Dentist." That would also, if you mind the snark, explain why "cuddling is the best part" of Veronica/Duncan sex. This, I think, is the main difference between Logan and Duncan. Although, financially, Logan is just as privileged as Duncan is, his sense of reality is not nearly as corrupted. Yes, he is used to getting his way. However, there has been no real "cosseting" for him; he screwed up, Aaron beat him. Mom avoided involvement. Logan would most definitely feel that he was "on his own" in the world. Last night's episode was instructive in that regard; whereas Duncan would have smashed the tapes if it had been, say, DaddyKane and Veronica (sorry for the visuals!), Logan is the type to face things head on, no matter the emotional cost. As for the blood clot, I addressed that above, but it does make sense medically; that's one of the big dangers even if one does wake up from a coma. Thank you for providing such good discussion material!

This is what they air opposite a Lost repeat. This! '. I was ok with it, even with the suspension of disbelief regarding her jury service. It is very unlikely that she would be seated in RL, but this is fiction and for some reason RT wanted to tell this story. I think it's a vehicle for Veronica to look at the hispanic gang and friends in a more sympathetic light. Sympathetic isn't the right word, but in a more objective light. That being said, I have some thoughts on the jury service itself. Assuming Veronica is 18 years of age and thus legally able to serve, there are actually arguments that favor her presence on the jury. They were pretty clear in my mind this morning, so let's see if I can do them justice. Prosecution View: She's the daughter of the former sheriff, raised ostensibly in a law and order household. So, she might be seen to favor the prosecution's argument more than the defense's argument. Plus her dad's current position as PI strengthens her law and order background and as a sleuth, she might be seen to be more likely than the average joe to be able to connect whatever dots the prosecution missed. Defense View: These kids are from her former peer group and she might be expected to be sympathetic to them. It's a small town so you have to assume that the defense attorneys know the victim is from the same neighborhood as the guys who are adamant that Logan murdered their gang buddy, so she would not be expected to be sympathetic with the victim. (Hey, it's not my prejudice, it would be the defense attorneys' prejudice!) Also, the fact that her father was ousted from his position as the Sheriff and forced to earn a living as a PI could be seen to be advantageous in that the hope would be that she would harbor secret resentment about her loss of status and her father's job loss, thus making her less likely to side with the people who are now in charge of law enforcement in Neptune. The arguments against her being selected to remain are obvious. Daughter of ex-sheriff, too know-it-all, too law and order for the defense, too likely to look at outside information and do own investigation, etc. Would she ever be chosen foreperson? I haven't served on any juries, but my jury forepeople are usually middle aged and have some life experience. The foreperson is responsible for keeping things from getting too rancorous and should be a strong-minded, firm individual who does not impose their views regarding the case on anyone. (If only this were a perfect world.) My experience indicates that Veronica would not have been elected foreperson, and would not have been suggested. But, in this case, it was supposed to be a joke, and it turned out to be a joke on the asshole.

Hee hee!! Well, as you can tell from my post above, I liked the episode more than you did, but I completely agree with this part of your post. Killing off Meg is so hokey and over the top! And the way Meg asked Veronica to make sure her parents don't take the baby "if anything should happen to me." Puh-leez. Why wouldn't she ask Duncan, the father of the child and the son of a rich, powerful family? This does not compute. But as I said, I liked the scenes between Keith and Logan, and as a LoVe shipper, actually makes me more hopeful for the two of them to eventually get together. If Keith sees that Logan isn't just an asshole, he might be more open to his daughter getting back with him. Keith's opinon means a lot to Veronica, and that could smooth the way toward inviting Logan back into her life.

<snipped for space> As for the blood clot, I addressed that above, but it does make sense medically; that's one of the big dangers even if one does wake up from a coma. Thank you for providing such good discussion material! Just to chime in on the above point, I totally agree. Someone who's been laying in one place for that long is a prime candidate for deep vein thrombosis--ie a blood clot in your leg. David Blum, a reporter for NBC, died from it while reporting from Iraq, and it's attributed to the amount of time he spend off his feet while riding around on tanks with the troops. So as character-killing plot devices go, it's one of the more solid and plausible choices they could have made.
