TWoP - VM 2.7 - Nobody Puts Baby in A Corner - The 09 Is Even Worse Than You Thought - recaplet p1:
Things start off with a Couch Baron shout-out, so I'm feeling pretty comfortable with this fill-in gig already. occured to me today & so I searched ggl ("couch baron" logan veronica awkward endurance)
Lamb arrests Veronica and Duncan, and then goes back to check their story -- revealing his family was just a little "09er" itself -- and releases Veronica and Duncan, only to park his cop car in front of the Mannings' house and just hang out a while. Ordinarily I'd think that's a little extreme, but this is Neptune, and their child was totally locked in a secret room inside her closet, so hey, Lamb? You wanna maybe beat them up or something? I don't know if "parking in a menacing fashion" is really going to cut it.
..recap proper..
You don't know from anxiety until you try to sub for a beloved and hilarious recapper on maybe the most continuity-obsessed show in the history of television.
We open on Veronica cuddling down with Duncan at the Presidential Suite, very much enjoying tonight's screening of The Big Lebowski and talking along with the dialogue.I am not Mr Lebowski, man. I'm the Dude. or Duder, or Dudorama if you're not into the whole brevity thing. Duncan is so unimpressed and bored and trying to make out, and it's striking how unsurprising it is that Veronica loves this film. And that Duncan is bored by it. heh well Jacob recapper you are doing fine so far, seem to know the characters.
Logan plops down on the couch, whinging that Duncan's watching The Big Lebowski without him, and Duncan placates that he didn't know when Logan was coming home. The math of Veronica goes like this: about 60% awkward-interrupted makeout, 20% happy to see Logan because he's awesome, and 10% confused as to whether this has anything to with her. She tries to be all middle-child huh and starts the movie up again: "You just missed the supermarket scene."
Logan: "I was reading Third Wheel: A Beginner's Guide? And we should come up with, like, some kind of codeword, for when you guys are feeling frisky and don't wanna be disturbed." "Like 'scram'?" asks Veronica, and Logan grins beautifully as he delivers the most in-your-face Couch Baron/Wing Chun shout-out yet: "I was thinking 'awkward.' But 'scram's good. Or 'amscray.'" that's great, the relationship btw twop & the show maker, but the thing is I never liked that 'awkward' bit (couch baron talking in prvs recaps about how wing says that when faced with an awkward encounter eh). and it is pretty out of character, isn't it, for Logan to pick this codeword? it's not very funny and he would not recognize this as awkward, right, bcs that acknowledges emotional investment. hmm so what did they say in the forum about this, in the episode forum the night it aired?
I can't really read Dunc's or Veronica's face. Are they irritated because Logan's there at all? Because that's pretty harsh. Normally, I think the people Logan comes into contact with are a little soft on him, but -- dude, he just walked into his house, and the temp went down 60 degrees, and he hasn't even said anything balls-out awful yet. Maybe it's just general awkward vibe, which you know Logan's been pokin' pokin' pokin' since he moved in. Poor screwed-up, gorgeous kid. I saw this & went back to see if he meant Logan, thinking he'd mean Duncan 'gorgeous', but no he did mean Logan yes.
