still love this show. I think the second season is doing a good job so far, I wasn't sure how it would play out. I havent watched the episode from last night yet though!!! I think I might go buy the first season dvd this weekend.

That was great, definitely the best episode I've seen thus far for pacing, dialogue and foreshadowing.

i think they've hit their stride with a "formula" that kicks in some sort of resolution to a dangling plot issue some point mid-episode, but in a surprising way, then works its way up to a big cliffhanger at the end of each, so that it keeps feeding the "what next" addiction.

I'm surprised no one mentioned Courtney Taylor-Taylor's appearance, which is worth it just for Upstaged Karaoke Guy's and his girlfriend's reactions.

I don't see what happened when you didn't bump the thread. It gets revived a couple days late?

― Leeeeeeeeee (Leee), Friday, 14 October 2005 17:09 (twenty years ago)

But whatever, don't mean to be a ho. Sorry.

I like this show! I make sure to watch it after Lost so as to end my TV night on a guaranteed high note.

was a GREAT episode

but was that the dandy warhols guy, lip sinking?

poor old beaver and his sad-face

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 14 October 2005 17:42 (twenty years ago)

The Music of Veronica Mars says yes! Except that he wasn't lip syncing, I don't think!

Was VM this indie last season?

― Leeeeeeeeee (Leee), Friday, 14 October 2005 17:51 (twenty years ago)

OH I didn't think he was lip syncing

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 14 October 2005 17:52 (twenty years ago)

Wait, why was there like 5 minutes of random karaoke in the middle of the show this week? Just because they can get a guy from the Dandy Warhols?

― The Yellow Kid, Friday, 14 October 2005 17:53 (twenty years ago)

yeah I dunno

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 14 October 2005 17:53 (twenty years ago)

Buffy did that on occasion. I guess it helps pay the bills or something.

Is it just me or is the new girl from New York an atrocious actress? That's the one element that gets to me sometimes - the unmistakable air of low-budget TVdom, complete with F-list actors (Harry Hamlin, teh Guttenberg) and tiny locations. They would have been better off casting at least the latter to a complete unknown (I haven't watched my first season DVDs, maybe Hamlin's awesome). At least they don't have to skimp on monster costumes (ala Buffy on UPN).

I somehow taped abc family all morning. So instead of getting to watch Veronica Mars I was faced with instead, HOURS OF FULL HOUSE. So I am downloading the episode right now and have to wait forever again.

― gunther heartymeal (keckles), Friday, 14 October 2005 17:58 (twenty years ago)

totally worth it!!

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 14 October 2005 17:59 (twenty years ago)

i am excited abt watching it tonight.

― jeffrey (johnson), Friday, 14 October 2005 18:27 (twenty years ago)

maybe Hamlin's awesome

Strangely, he totally is.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Saturday, 15 October 2005 06:28 (twenty years ago)

ok, I agree, this episode was great. I like that he isn't hitting us in the head with what the main mystery is this year. There are kind of a lot of things going on, and it's making for a nice transition. Some great moments from this episode: that veronica LOVES unicorns, when duncan and logan have the talk after their fight. I just love logan's angst, still.

― gunther heartymeal (keckles), Saturday, 15 October 2005 15:42 (twenty years ago)

i was right to be excited.

― jeffrey (johnson), Saturday, 15 October 2005 17:21 (twenty years ago)

good but ruined, in a way, by the dandy warhols guy

what a mistake

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 16 October 2005 23:02 (twenty years ago)

sorry.

― jeffrey (johnson), Sunday, 16 October 2005 23:07 (twenty years ago)

I downloaded the first season and watched it all this week and now I'm hooked and can't wait to get up to speed on the new season. What a great show.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Monday, 17 October 2005 06:50 (twenty years ago)

You just say that because it's set near San Diego!

― Leeeeeeeeee (Leee), Monday, 17 October 2005 17:33 (twenty years ago)

It doesn't hurt. ;)

Whoa, someone on this board knew something about me.

I like the fact that when they go to Mexico, they never go any further than Ensenada, which is basically the exact story of me and all my friends.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Monday, 17 October 2005 18:18 (twenty years ago)

All your Padres big upping is what set it in stone. ; )

Do people here know that Weevil is FRANK CAPRA'S grandson?

― Leeeeeeeeee (Leee), Monday, 17 October 2005 18:28 (twenty years ago)

It's that time again.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Wednesday, 19 October 2005 22:27 (twenty years ago)

Do people know that Weevil was in Shaquille O'Neal's Kazaam!?

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Wednesday, 19 October 2005 22:29 (twenty years ago)

He was also in one of the Free Willy movies.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Wednesday, 19 October 2005 22:45 (twenty years ago)

I love it when Sheriff Mars gets physical with a perp. They switch to a super-wide lens, get all hand-held and he goes crazy for a couple of minutes. So much better than any cop show still on TV.

― Are You Nomar? (miloaukerman), Sunday, 23 October 2005 06:43 (twenty years ago)

Melissa's falling down on the job.

― Are You Nomar? (miloaukerman), Thursday, 27 October 2005 04:00 (twenty years ago)

I blame me.

REALLY good episode, which is the par, it seems!

― Leeeeeeeeee (Leee), Thursday, 27 October 2005 04:08 (twenty years ago)

It's amazing how much more I enjoy a show when I actually care about the characters. Lost had better get good fast or I'm switching to VM full time.

― Are You Nomar? (miloaukerman), Thursday, 27 October 2005 04:13 (twenty years ago)

I watched the dvd. This show is consistantly better than Lost with less annoying characters. The directors of Lost have no sense of pacing. I also love Logan, though find him unattractive. Just goes to show how much girls love assholes.

― Mendoza Lineman (Carey), Thursday, 27 October 2005 15:09 (twenty years ago)

enough of the adversarial LOST nonsense, please

― c7n (Cozen), Thursday, 27 October 2005 16:38 (twenty years ago)

sorry carey!!

― c7n (Cozen), Thursday, 27 October 2005 16:39 (twenty years ago)

Ha, I just realized what the Lost controversy was last night. They are on at the same time!

― Mendoza Lineman (Carey), Thursday, 27 October 2005 17:01 (twenty years ago)

logan is like a better sawyer who I dislike more

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 27 October 2005 17:03 (twenty years ago)

I'd do him!

― Mendoza Lineman (Carey), Thursday, 27 October 2005 17:20 (twenty years ago)

you are what's wrong with this world

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 27 October 2005 18:36 (twenty years ago)

SORRY RICARDO

― Mendoza Lineman (Carey), Thursday, 27 October 2005 21:31 (twenty years ago)

They did indulge in one awful dramatic cliche - one person walking in as another person does somethign that the first person said not to do (Veronica harassing the new girl), but mysteriously they're never able to communicate the Very Good Reason that it happened.

― Are You Nomar? (miloaukerman), Thursday, 27 October 2005 22:07 (twenty years ago)

I don't think Wallace walked in per se -- he was just standing in an obscured place. But yeah, V's reaction was like, woh. But hahaha the meta! It really is Veronica Mars's world -- it's named after her!

Wallace dumped whatsherface, right? I already forget.

― Leeeeeeeeee (Leee), Thursday, 27 October 2005 22:28 (twenty years ago)

series REALLY hitting its stride now

― c7n (Cozen), Friday, 28 October 2005 19:24 (twenty years ago)

I watched the '80s dance/Meg/mobster episode last night - holy shit, so good. I think it took five or six episodes to really get in a groove, but at this point (and including S2), it might be my favorite television show ever.

― Are You Nomar? (miloaukerman), Friday, 28 October 2005 19:31 (twenty years ago)

that was a pretty special episode.

― jeffrey (johnson), Saturday, 29 October 2005 00:12 (twenty years ago)

Ok, call me dumb, but could somebody explain the last episode's plot to me? Jackie wants to get back at Veronica - I get that. So, what - she lies about having her credit card stolen, and buys some candles that she saw at the fortune teller's? Is her friend with the new jacket in on it too? How did the fortune teller find out about that MammoMax thing - I mean, obviously "from Jackie," but she's getting her psychic info from that audience plant, did Jackie just go up to the plant and say "hey, here's some info about someone who's going to be on the show, you should use it"? Was the fortune teller in on the thing too?

― The Yellow Kid, Saturday, 29 October 2005 04:26 (twenty years ago)

yeah, the fortune teller lifted the credit card number in order to buy lots of candles, it seems.. but what about the jacket and the bag..?

ok, i don't really follow this show, clearly, but i like it, and i'd like someone to explain how veronica is so out of it.. i.e. the psychic show - "everyone at neptune high watches it!" - but veronica's unaware of its existence??

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Saturday, 29 October 2005 18:16 (twenty years ago)

Jackie bought stuff that Cora and the fortune teller had also bought from the same places they bought them (she's friends with Cora and would have heard from her about shopping trips: where and what, I'm not so sure about the candles but she probably found out the same way Veronica did or maybe bought them herself as a present for the psychic), then lead Veronica to think they were the two possible suspects and let her work out that they owned things bought from the same place that someone had used Jackie's credit card. The psychic is usually getting her info from the plant, but in this case Jackie is friends with her and told her about the breast cream aswell. The whole of Neptune knows about Veronica being friends with Lily, so that bit could have come from anywhere. Veronica being unaware of the whole programme was a bit silly though.

The whole thing was a set up from Jackie, but it didn't seem well planned if the whole point was to let the world know that Veronica used breast cream, that was something that Veronica told her quite late on. It seems a bit weird to plan something so meticulously yet have the whole thing rely on a piece of embarrassing information that you may never get. It wasn't brilliantly written.

― Cressida Breem (neruokruokruokne?), Saturday, 29 October 2005 19:59 (twenty years ago)

I don't think the psychic's lily message was part of the set-up

― c7n (Cozen), Saturday, 29 October 2005 20:02 (twenty years ago)

That probably wasn't very clear - the psychic has a show and usually uses the plant to get info from guests. The psychic may have been in on the revenge thing, or she may have had Jackie tell her that she knows someone who's coming on as a guest and "accidentally" dropped some info into the conversation, and the psychic uses any information she can get her hands on.

xpost No it wasn't, I'm starting to think she wasn't actually in on it, as there would be no point in trying to amaze Veronica with knowledge about Lily as she'd know Veronica would work out it was a set up by the end. Maybe Jackie claimed she had known Lily and Lily had told her about the cream, as it was "Lily" who mentioned the cream when the psychic talked to Veronica.

― Cressida Breem (neruokruokruokne?), Saturday, 29 October 2005 20:06 (twenty years ago)

also: wallace can't sing for shit!!
