Wellington, Veronica and Vimes

owlbeerI finally booked my tickets for Wellington today. I've gone once a year for the past three years, mostly because I just adore the city but this time I'm going to try and check out the job market, because dude, it's finally time. I'm going insane in the job I'm in now and I think it's time I moved out and lived away from home. Christchurch is all well and good, but I need more of a change than just living on the other side of town.
I still think back to that night nearly two years ago when I just walked around Wellington at night. There was just this little warm breeze and it was beautiful. I walked for two hours, by myself, just around the waterfront and around the city, watching them lay the red carpet right down Courtney Place for the RotK premiere. I felt at peace, or something like it. It's hard to explain. Just, every time I go there I feel like that it is where I should be.
Anyway, middle of November, I'm there for five days. I'm effectively travelling alone, but I have a friend or two I can visit up there.

Logan + Weevil + Veronica = <3! I was inwardly flailling.
Loved the bit with the ink. Keith and Veronica's relationship is just wonderful to watch.
So, they're taking this Veronica/Logan thing delicately. Nice move because otherwise it would be a little WTF?
Still see the Logan/Weevil. Oh yes. Mmm.
Oh, Logan. There's so more to to his mother's death than meets the eye (credit card?) but for him to believe she was alive and then be let down like that, even if she is still alive. Gah.
Case of the Week: Not especially interesting and pretty easy to pick. I kind of wanted Veronica to be right but you kind of picked that she wasn't. However, that was one awesome history lesson at the start.
One complaint: Perhaps Veronica had a little too much to do in this (Case of the Week plus Logan's case plus looking into Duncan) because I think a few things more of a cursory look than perhaps they should have. I know it's supposed to convey that she's busy, and it worked, but it did jump around a lot.
No, that wasn't just a complaint that there wasn't enough Logan, not at all. *cough*
It would be interesting to see this show back to back over a weekend or a few days because then I think you could really appreciate how well this all knits together. Not that you can't with eps a week apart but I think you'd appreciate it more watching eps back to back. It's very nicely done.
All in all: enjoyable as always and I am so intrigued.
Randomly, TV2 why don't you have 'next week on' previews with this show! I actually want to see them. I wonder if the eps in the states are like this, or just TV2's little peculiarity?

I really was trying to get through Northern Lights this time but then I walked through Whitcoulls and saw the new Terry Pratchett book, Thud! I'm now reading that, because I am powerless before a Vimes book. My love for him is just ridiculous.
It's good so far. Not spectacular, but definitely enjoyable.
I will get back to Northern Lights though, because I'm definitely interested in where it's going. However, I have already been been side-tracked by the back-story. Inevitable really.
