It's been almost two full months since a new Veronica Mars and a new Lost aired on the same night, but at last the time has come to revisit the "series" between the series.
The truth is, I'm not sure if either one of tonight's episode really floored me. Perhaps you can chalk it up to the return of Battlestar Galactica earlier this month; maybe it just takes a little more to impress me right now.
Lost brought an episode that felt pretty far out of left field. Charlie's suddenly having strange sleepwalking dreams and thinks Aaron needs to be baptized. Well, okay. Now he's a complete nutcase, until the episode down the road (I assume) where his fears are somehow vindicated. But for the moment, the episode didn't offer much but some sympathy for Charlie over his horrible diapers commercial. In retrospect, in a few more episodes, there might have been more here. For now, just plain strange.
Veronica Mars took the week off from the "bus crash" plot to advance the "Duncan's baby" and "Logan and Weevil Investigations" plots. Things didn't quite feel like they were popping as much as usual, though there were some fun moments with Lucy Lawless, and an emotional scene between Veronica and her heart-broken father.
Ultimately, I'm kicking this week's contest in favor of Veronica Mars for actually referencing Lost in its own episode. At the very end of the episode, Veronica is scene sticking a fortune from a fortune cookie on her mirror. The lucky numbers shown on that fortune? Why, "4-8-15-16-23-42," of course.

By the way, it looks like you may not have to worry about the Lost vs. Veronia Mars battle at 9pm Wednesdays next year.
The the formation of "The CW" there has already been talk of moving VM to Tuesday at 9pm following Gilmore Girls. We won't know for certain until May but I thought I'd give you some hope.
