I think the crucial detail with the second gas station scene is in the Vet’s line, straight after Aaron has accepted a shitburger film because of the cash - he says “did you find some sucker who’ll sell his ass for cash?” Or something v similar. I always took that as a direct correlation to his Dad doing exactly that. The directional choices don’t bother me, because they’re in keeping with the noir feel of the show - especially the close up on the glistening jewellery, a sign of Aaron selling his soul for the bottom line.

The direction in this show is based off of old Noir films... if you haven't seen many of those, that's why it seems odd to you. This is a modern version of a crime noir story. That type of direction is staple of this storytelling format. Unfortunately, if you can't get into that, you'll struggle through a lot of this show.

And idk if this was the intention, but to me the camera lingering too long on Logan's dad turning the car and the radio on expresses a sense of foreboding. Like the camera is Logan looking warily at the hands of his abuser. I think the directional choices in the election plot scenes missed the mark and the acting from the one-off characters was straight up bad, but it really worked in the scenes with Logan. They're meant to make you feel tense and disoriented, and at least for me the first time I watched this, made the final scene with Logan and his dad that much more upsetting. It was shocking, but I could feel it building to that, even if I didn't realize it. I also don't think the show is telling us that we should be fine with Logan now that we know he's being abused. It's still unbelievably monstrous to pay homeless people to fight each other, he's been a shitbag in every episode, and I don't easily fall for the poor little rich boy trope. But I'm happy they're giving him another layer without just making him 180 into a nice person. This is my first rewatch, and I've been noticing how fucking tense Logan is all the time. His performance feels very true to child abuse victims, especially boys.

I really like this episode. The show is contrasting three father and child relationships and uses the mystery of the week to provide more world-building about the class warfare that goes on both at the high school but also in Neptune itself. I think the show is trying to demonstrate that the kids are just now dealing with Lilly's murder -- or maybe that things have now reached a boiling point. Veronica and Jake call out Duncan on his passivity. Jake actually comes across as rather sympathetic, although I wonder if he put Logan up to making that campaign video. The bumfight? I googled that, and I'm almost sorry I did because it made me sick to my stomach. This was a thing that California teenagers did, and it's so revolting that I cannot believe the show made me sympathetic to Logan in the same episode. The car scene is so tense because Aaron's mood shifts on a dime (classic abuser), and when Logan stares at his father pressing that button, I rewound it because I thought it was a cigarette lighter and Aaron was going to burn Logan. The scene of Logan choosing the belt always sends chills down my spine, but it's the shot of Lynne Echolls looking directly into the camera that gets me. Sure, Veronica's VO is breaking the fourth wall, but this is different. This is like the show making us complicit in the violence, and it's extremely uncomfortable. It's such a powerful moment that I wish the episode ended on that instead of the Veronica and Keith moment.
