TV Goodness

This sounds great:

"Plan B" Veronica and Weevil work together to bring Felix’s murderer to justice.

That is all.

The verdict is out:

I’m OK, You’re OK. Rory (Alexis Bledel) forgives Logan (Matt Czuchry) for his indiscretions, then needs some time for herself, so she pays a visit to Lorelai (Lauren Graham) in Stars Hollow. Although Lorelai (Lauren Graham) refuses to admit that she is upset, Rory can tell that she is bothered by the news that Luke (Scott Patterson) will be gone for a few days on a field trip with his daughter, April (Vanessa Marano, who does not appear in the episode). Against Lorelai’s wishes, Rory pays a visit to the store owned by April’s mother, Ana (guest star Sherilyn Fenn), to spy on her. Meanwhile, when Zack (Todd Lowe) finally works up the courage to ask Mrs. Kim (Emily Kuroda) for permission to marry Lane (Keiko Agena), he is surprised at the deal she makes with him. Melissa McCarthy, Edward Herrmann, Kelly Bishop, Yani Truesdale, Liza Weil and Sean Gunn also stars. The episode was written by Keith Eisner and directed by Lee Shallot Chemel.

Wow, they’ve been going a really long time without new episodes this season. (Not as bad as VM, but close!) Anyway, at least there’s promise of Lane-y goodness.

Please tell me this isn’t supposed to be a love interest re-developing.

"The Rapes of Graff" Veronica is surprised when her shady ex-boyfriend Troy Vandergraff gets accused of date rape and calls her for help.

And we’ll hope that Bones is back on its game tonight too. (Not to mention ANTM.) Let TV night commence! (And welcome back stateside, Chance.)

Also: Niall, stop giving me heart attacks.

This week, there will be talk. I can feel it.

“The Quick and the Wed" Wallace’s new girlfriend asks Veronica to find her sister, who appears to be either a "runaway bride" or a victim of foul play.

Bones talk welcome too. Or ANTM, but Chance is a broad abroad, so probably nobody else around here watches wannabe models… right? (I’m exhausted, but tonight is my TV night, damn it! I will watch all three and feel no shame!)

Finally. Yay!

"Versatile Toppings" Neptune High’s closeted gay teens turn to Veronica for help when a blackmailer cracks into a private online bulletin board and threatens to publicly out everyone. Kristin Cavallari guest stars.

(And I might add that Bones moves to 8 p.m. Wednesdays on Fox; it’s a show that’s grown on me over the past several episodes.)

Finally! New!

Bridesmaid Revisited. Proud parents Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Christopher (David Sutcliffe) attend a journalism panel at Yale where Rory (Alexis Beldel) dazzles the crowd. Afterwards, Lorelai offers to help Christopher (David Sutcliffe) out by babysitting his 4-year-old daughter and is horrified by the toddler’s terrible behavior. The next day, Rory and Logan (Matt Czuchry) attend the wedding of Logan’s sister, Honor (guest star Devon Sorvari). While helping the bride and her three bridesmaids get ready, Rory is devastated to learn how Logan spent his time during their recent breakup. Logan tries to defend his actions, but a devastated Rory turns to Lorelai and Paris (Liza Weil) for comfort. Finally, Lane (Keiko Agena) is still heartbroken over Zach (guest star Todd Lowe), until he turns up at the diner with a surprise. Scott Patterson and Sean Gunn also star. The episode was written by Rebecca Rand Kirshner and directed by Linda Mendoza.

I’m not loving where this could go…

I fear Daniel Palladino is getting ready to double-axle us:

A Vineyard Valentine. As Valentine’s Day approaches, Rory (Alexis Bledel) and Logan (Matt Czuchry) invite Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Luke (Scott Patterson) to spend a weekend with them at Logan’s family’s house on Martha’s Vineyard. Rory and Logan have a wonderful time, but Lorelai is upset by Luke’s unfriendly attitude toward Logan. Luke’s attitude changes when he realizes he forgot to buy Lorelai a Valentine gift, and Logan saves the day by letting Luke give Lorelai one of the gifts he had bought for Rory. When Lorelai finally confesses to Luke that she is worried the wedding will never take place, he reassures her that they will get married soon. The weekend ends in an ugly scene when Logan’s father, Mitchum Huntzberger (guest star Gregg Henry), arrives and berates Logan for ignoring his responsibilities in the family business. Melissa McCarthy also stars. The episode was written and directed by Daniel Palladino. 

Whoopsie.

"Ain’t No Magic Mountain High Enough"
Wednesday, 02.08.06
When all of the proceeds for the senior class trip disappear, Veronica must identify the thief among them and finds herself defending Jackie as accusations fly.

Jeffery Sams and Tina Majorino guest star.

(I loved this episode.)

Offered without preliminary comment:

You’ve Been Gilmored. Emily (Kelly Bishop) tells Lorelai (Lauren Graham) that she’d like to get to know her future son-in-law better and asks her to invite Luke (Scott Patterson) over for dinner. Wanting to avoid an argument, Lorelai purposely fails to mention that the wedding has been postponed. The Yale Daily News staff finally fires Paris (Liza Weil) and chooses Rory (Alexis Bledel) to be the new editor. A furious Paris kicks Rory out of the apartment, and Rory has no idea where she is going to go until Logan (Matt Czuchry) convinces her to move into his apartment. When Rory gives Christopher (David Sutcliffe) a tour of Yale, he learns of the new living arrangement and tells Lorelai. Edward Herrmann and Yanic Truesdale also star.

The episode was written by Jordan Nardino and directed by Stephen Clancy.

Updated: Knower of all things Rosebudsy Richard says that there will be a Rosebuds song on tonight’s episode. Things are looking up already.

And tonight’s ep is:

"Rashard And Wallace Go To White Castle." Wallace is forced to turn to Veronica for help when he is falsely named as the driver in a tragic hit-and-run accident.

So, not loving the storyline, but Wallace-heavy episode = happiness anyway.
