ETA: I should have started by saying I know this is my irrational pet hate and I shouldn't go on about it like I do. lol It just annoys me so much, especially if they don't do anything with it. So I won't try and convince anyone past explaining my last post with this one.

I did say everyone was bringing it up not just Veronica. That was my point. We know, you don't have to keep telling us. I'd rather hear original dialogue, especially since it's brought up by more than just Veronica. It's more annoying coming from V than Logan (because Logan is usually referencing conversations with V when he brings it up) but either way, I just feel like they could joke about something else just for the sake of writing original dialogue. Unless this is going to come up as a real issue for Logan and that's what his arc was this season - leading him to either flunk out of college or decide to apply himself in a way he hasn't yet. I haven't heard any spoilers about that either way though so if they aren't going to use it, I don't get why you'd bring it up more than once or twice.

It's information that we have because we've been told over and over again he's a slacker when it comes to classes in various ways. I feel weird having to list this stuff in this forum but I feel I have to now. Sorry if I missed some, my memory is so rusty on these episodes but I think I got them all. This is just my pet hate but his academics were brought up in:

- I should mention these kind of insults should really be traced back to Plan B and his evil plagiarism.
- Welcome Wagon: the first mention 'you haven't shown up to class', a mild judgement but it's only the first.
- They only had one scene in My Big Fat Greek Rush Week so . . .
- Wichita Linebacker - the worst episode for it. She says his horizons aren't expanding enough in college and the only class he goes to regularly is weightlifting (and it's not even a real class is the judgement behind the statement). But that's not the bad part, that was just to set up the fight they have in the hall where she mocks his 1984 reference like she doesn't think he's even read a book, "Did you read that in weightlifting?" (i.e. NOT A REAL CLASS) It also has his "cliff's notes" jab at himself in response to that, and then he goes on with the 1984 thing. All those jabs at his intelligence were also entirelly irrelevant to the real issues - her stalking him, him standing her up - she just said them to hurt him.
- Charlie Don't Surf - she was very self conscious of his crappy grades but cut in and said he got high test scores to cover that information up. I've already debated this scene with everyone, suffice to say I fall in the coloumn of people who think she was way too protective/embarassed of all things Logan in this scene (especially since it doesn't seem she's that self conscious about Piz being in her home).
- President Evil - She didn't say anything but Logan makes reference to her constantly nagging him about it until he agreed to apply himself more: "It was right after you said jump and I said how high?" In other words, she said it all the time and they had at least one serious conversation about it.
- Hi, Infidelity - "You got an A???" Did he cheat? Didn't he cheat? *shrug* He's applying himself but she's still (pleasantly) surprised he got a good grade. Good puppy.
- In Of Vice and Men the puppy is very, very bad and they don't do much talking at all. Same with Lord of the Pis. In Spit and Eggs he's just an all around disappointment (in his words) but he doesn't mention this as one of the long list of specific things she's pointed out for him as the season went on.
- In Postgame Mortem he's not going to class and if he misses one more, he's out of there (and then he did . .. did he flunk that class?)
- In Papa's Cabin he meets Parker for lunch and says specifically they've agreed no lectures on college responsibility (the implication being that he's had enough of those). Later he jokes about actually attending a class for once.
- Now, in Un-American Graffiti we have jokes about highlighters and getting up for a *gasp* early class (shouldn't he be surfing?). It should be said there is a vague reference to something like this in Show Me The Monkey too when she says he isn't even an early lunch kind of guy, so what's he doing at college during her scheduled time: the morning?

I feel like it's been brought up as many times as Veronica's trust issues and certainly more than Logan's violent tendencies or his genetic predisposition toward said violence. At the moment I'd probably think something was happening at the end of the season to cap off all these references, if we're also getting something about his Aaron-like qualities since I feel like that's been brought up so much less. I actually hope they do do something with it, otherwise I'll always wonder why it was brought up so much. Unless they just wanted it to be blatantly obvious that Veronica could study with her sweet boyfriend Piz, but not Logan. *shrugs*
