WARNING—SOME MAJOR SPOILERS FOR SHOWS AIRING THIS WEEK AHEAD!!!

After watching last night’s episode of Nip/Tuck, I was pretty sure that episode would win the award for biggest and best surprise of the week.  Finding out that Kimber hadn’t left Christian at the altar of her own volition, but was kidnapped was pretty near genius.  (For those watching, I’m still comfortable in my assertion that Gina is The Carver.)

That surprise had nothing on tonight’s episode of Veronica Mars however.  (First, how great was it to see Alyson Hannigan and Charisma Carpenter back together again, sparring it out just like in the Buffy old days.)  Finding Weevil taped to the flagpole was genius and completely believable considering this impending class war that’s about to erupt in Neptune.  Then, finding out Trina’s parentage was heartbreaking when her real mom burst into the room, offering to give her bone marrow.  While not as completely touching as Rose and Bernard’s reunion on Lost last week, it was a moment that got me a little teary.  And if that weren’t enough, the final reveal, discovering that Meg is pregnant?!  WOOH!  I don’t even know what to think about that!  It just tied in so beautifully with the theme of the night.  Veronica’s worst thoughts about Celeste Kane turned about to be true—just one generation later.  Duncan a father?  As Melissa Sinda would say, “Double O-C—out-of-control!)  This show just gets better and better every week.  If you’re not watching it, HMPH!  (In Lynn Reed speak, that’s a dismissal.)

And then, even before the teaser of Lost was done, we find out there’s a horse on the island!  Who saw that coming?  Those that imagined Kate was on the run for blowing somebody up I guess...  Now, when it comes time to teach Josiah in Sunday School, I might just bring in this episode.
