rape is definitely not the most enjoyable topic for a tv series, especially when the writers sometimes handle it questionably. :x i think it's just tough to keep coming up with weighty mysteries other than people dying. i think some kind of missing persons case (maybe keith?) would be a lot more interesting -- the person is assumed dead but veronica refuses to believe it? it could be angsty and awesome. and less potentially off-putting than rape.

i can't imagine ever watching this show without logan. but i also can't imagine NOT watching this show as long as it has logan, because no matter WHAT they do with him i always find him pretty much amazing.
