I love Logan!

1. I adore him in Ruskie Business (1:15) because we see so many different aspects to his character:

- his snark when he and Veronica pretend to be engaged
- his velnerability when he breaks down in Veronica's arms, because his hopes that his mother is still alive are ruined
- his obnoxious behaviour when he's drunk at the dance (and of course the earlier scenes give us neat insight into that)

2. I love the complexity of the Logan and Weevil dynamic, which has so many twists and turns along the way. All their scenes are great in "The Girl Next Door", and nicely map out the trajectory their relationship will go on. Interestingly my favourite moments are actually Logan and Clemmons interactions:

CLEMMONS: Mr Echolls. I was wondering if I could have a word.
LOGAN: Anthropomorphic. All yours, big guy.

And then this awesome scene (which is really about him being loyal to Weevil):

LOGAN: Man, I tell you Mr Clemmons, I am pissed off!

CLEMMONS: I need for you to use appropriate language in here, Mr Echolls. Now, what's got under your skin?

LOGAN: It's, uh, it's that Weevil kid.

CLEMMONS: He is no longer a student here.

LOGAN: Yeah, I know. But the problem is, he's getting all the credit for sticking Mr Daniels car on the flagpole. And all of the sudden, he's like the biggest badass in… rad dude here at Neptune. I mean, people are gonna be talking about that punking for years.

CLEMMONS: I don't think I understand.

LOGAN: I mean, I want my share of the credit.

CLEMMONS: You're confessing to helping Eli Navarro? You can't just get away with this, young man.

LOGAN: [Expelling his breath in mock contrition] Yeah, I didn't think I could.

Logan pauses then swings first one foot, then the other onto Clemmons desk. He is wearing a pair of black boots with red stars all over them. Clemmons stares at the boots on his desk.

LOGAN: So, what kind of punishment are we talking about?

3. Hmm, it's hard to narrow it down (even though I keep cheating). I guess I'll have to go with his epic love speech in "Look Who's Stalking" (his view really reminds me of Spike):

Logan: I thought our story was epic, you know? You and me.

Veronica: Epic how?

Logan: Spanning years, and continents. Lives ruined and blood shed. Epic. But summer's almost here, and we won't see each other at all. And then you'll leave town, and then... it's over.

Veronica: Logan...

Logan: I'm sorry about last summer. You know, if I could do it over...

Veronica: Come on. Ruined lives? Bloodshed? You really think a relationship should be that hard?

Logan: No one writes songs about the ones that come easy.

And what makes me really love him is how he's able to mess everything up:

Logan: Veronica, last night was kind of a blur...
