Here's the second Lambspam for the first part of Muhney week, inspired as it is by the upcoming Hub Productions convention that Michael Muhney will be attending. Other guests include Christian Kane, Mercedes McNab, Elisabeth Rohm and Ellen Muth. (By the way, the site is down right now, but keep checking back - I'm sure they'll have it up again soon.)
In case you missed it, Monday's Lambspam was Season 1: a Lamb retrospective. Which, of course, means that today I'm moving on to season 2, and the longest picspam of the lot, so I'm breaking it down into two parts.
Sadly Sheriff Lamb doesn't appear in the first episode of season 2, but he does pop up in the second episode, Driver Ed, informing the press that they are looking into concerning information about the driver of a school bus that went off a cliff.
He basically states that the driver, Ed, drove the bus off the cliff to kill himself in spite of the fact that the investigation is still wide open. Because he's a dick.
Later in the episode, he is stumped as to who is in his office applying for a job at the Sheriff's department
but knows he's in trouble when he finds out that it's none other than
our very own Veronica, who is of course more sleuthing than application-filling.
He kindly escorts her out of the room. 'Seriously, why do birds suddenly appear every time you're near?'
Later still, Lamb is accosted by the bus driver's daughter, who has found some new evidence (thanks to Veronica) that her father did not kill himself
but he's typically dismissive, since he thinks he's solved the case and the public is happy with his decision.
The episode ends with a really nice shot of Lamb discovering Veronica's name written on the hand of a corpse that washed up on the beach.
Logically, the next episode finds Lamb interrogating Veronica at the station. He decides to mix up his usual interrogation technique (as outlined in my first picspam)
going with funny faces first
a bit of the usual Veronica-inspired frustration
and closing with his trademark height-as-intimidation method. This particular interview revealed two things: 1. Sheriff Lamb was actually *gasp* right about something - Veronica had seen the corpse once when he was alive - and 2. Veronica's now 18 and can be arrested whenever Lamb feels like putting her in handcuffs. Kinky.
We don't see Lamb again in episode 3, but episode 4 has him chatting less-than-happily with Keith in his Noir-lit office
or possibly wondering why Keith's even allowed in his office. Keith has given Lamb a photo of a drug dealer for the cops to catch. Lamb is suspicious.
Turns out that the man is not so much a drug dealer as a cop
and Lamb thinks he's got one up on Keith, who he believes was trying to trick him.
Moving on to episode 5, Blast From the Past, and one of Lamb's best faces of all time in a debate with Keith for the election for Sheriff's office. Lamb drops a bombshell: Keith once let the bus driver, Ed, off on a DUI. GASP!
Lamb gets a present for his office - a, ha ha ha, real dead bug (as in insect) set in plastic - and decides to keep it.
The note with the bug says 'Dear Exterminator, knock 'em dead on election day.' If you don't know who sent it form the fact that it's a bug - GET IT? A BUG? - then you don't yet know Veronica Mars.
He's not actually pouting in this shot, I just think it's cute because it looks like he is.
Also in this episode, we get a fun flashback to Lamb's interview of baseball player Terrence Cook
which is full of the most brilliant faces ever
but pretty much only serves to tell us that Terrence has a big gambling debt
and our Sheriff's not above blackmail and extortion.
Sadly for the Mars lot (but happily for us Lamb fans) the next episode opens with Lamb winning the election and keeping his position as Sheriff
but immediately being faced with new information: the man who called to report that Logan killed a kid has shown up at the Sheriff's department.
I like this shot of Lamb getting Deputy Sachs of the Awesome Moustache to write down a message :)
They haul Logan in and the no-longer-anonymous caller ID's him in a line-up
which makes Lamb happy and nasty: he makes threats and attempts to intimidate, like the bully he is.
Lamb brings Logan to his brand new cell
where he is happy to inform him that he's put Logan in a cell with a very special cellmate: Logan's homicidal father. Yay!
Of course they can't hold Logan, so Lamb goes to take him home
only to discover there's no home to go to: Logan's house was burnt down. 'That's gonna mess up your Tivo.'
We get one more Lamb scene in this episode, with Lamb once again reluctantly talking to Keith in his office.
This time, Lamb is kind enough to ignore Keith's request for information about the bus crash
and inform him that Veronica was brought in about that writing on the corpse's hand, something Veronica had conveniently forgotten to tell her overprotective father about.
We are just spoilt in season 2, because Lamb shows up again in episode 7, Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner, aka. The One Time Lamb Acts Like a Human Being. He doesn't appear until the end of the episode, but we do get this lovely little cap earlier on. HOTTEST BACHELOR.
Lamb shows up at the home of Duncan's ex-girlfriend Meg in order to arrest Veronica and Duncan for breaking in.
He breaks up a shouting match between Veronica and Meg's father over whether or not he's abusing their other daughter by keeping her in the closet when they go out.
Veronica tries to convince him when he gets close to her to cuff her
and, amazing though it may seem, once Veronica's in his cop car he actually checks the closet, where he finds the space Veronica describes. When Meg's father berates him for 'coming into his house and doing whatever he wants', Lamb replies, 'It's funny, I heard my father give that exact speech once.'
He leaves the house, drives Duncan and Veronica around the corner, lets them out and goes back to sit outside the house and watch.
The implication is clearly that Lamb was abused as a child, but it's never stated any more clearly nor followed up on. Has anyone ever asked Muhney or RT about this?
After a wealth of Lamb-flavoured episodes, he doesn't make another appearance until episode 10, but what an appearance. Why, you might ask?
Because it starts with weight-lifting
goes into that wonderful Lamb narcissism
and proceeds with SHIRTLESSNESS.
He's clearly trying once again to prove he's superior to Keith
but who are we to complain?
There's some sort of plot thing going on
but then he's talking about being there to please and I get distracted.
Look how hot he knows he is.
After that completely gratuitous appearance, it's back to business in episode 11, the completely awesome and Lamb-filled Donut Run. He starts by arresting Veronica for helping Duncan run away with Meg's baby.
Lamb's under a bit of pressure to find Duncan in this episode. Everybody keeps trying to put more pressure on his investigation: first the Kanes and Vinnie
then the border patrol guys
and finally, just while he's trying to deal with them
the FBI come in on the case.
They quickly make Lamb realise that his involvement from now on is going to be minimal
This stress is not making our beloved Sheriff a happy camper.
The FBI have brushed off Lamb's warnings about Veronica
and decide that belittling Lamb is the best way to proceed with the investigation. I mean, not that you can blame them - everyone belittles Lamb - but for the second time in as many seasons, Lamb is actually right about something. (By the way, Lucy Lawless!)
He tries to be clever by beefing up the border patrol searches when Veronica tells him Duncan hates Mexico
and telling her to wait outside or he'll lock her up good (hee)
He finally thinks he's got something over Veronica
but the lead turns out to be an empty one and he's stuck in the shadows again.
The Sheriff is alone in his office, the FBI having chased down a bogus lead from Veronica, when he finally gets some good information.
'I told them, didn't I?'
He heads across the border to get Duncan
but when his (unsearched, because he's a cop) car boot pops open
and he realises that he has unwittingly carried Duncan across the border himself. HELL YEAH.
Part 2 tomorrow. Stay cool, hep cats.

I remember watching that on my portable video player on the train to work one morning and actually lolling. Ah good, embarrassing times. I need to re-watch. Thanks for the memories!
