i'm sure the studio rights among a million other things make it impossible but would love if netflix or showtime or a very desperate nbc would do a wheel show w/ a rebooted veronica mars and terriers and something else, just slot them into this -

entirely satisfying little movie.

This was just ok, but I'm really happy it got made - seems like a better closure for the characters than the end of season 3.
Kirsten Bell and Jason Dohring still have crazy chemistry, but I thought the Logan+Veronica dialogue seemed to have lost a bit of spark. Then again I always liked them most when they were fighting. Felt bad for Piz.

I loved seasons 1 and 2 but skipped 3 after it got slammed here so hard. Should I watch any of it before watching the movie?
― Corporal Clegg, you've got a lovely daughter (WilliamC), Monday, 17 March 2014 12:50 (ten years ago) link
haven't seen the movie but at the very least you'll need to know who piz is and there's some stuff at the very end that might (probably should) come up in the movie. maybe start w/ episode 10? the main problem w/ season 3 is the overarching mysteries (there were two - no season long arc) were really lame, you could maybe even skip ahead to the last five episodes, after any running mysteries are done, but you'd miss some stuff that happens. season 3 is definitely the weakest but most of that is usual high school show adjusting to college (i can't think of any show that's made that transition w/ grace) and somewhat desperate attempts and compromises to keep it on the air. i don't think it's actually really bad, it's just nowhere near the first two seasons.

i just finished watching s3 and really struggled getting through it, i didn't care for either of the multi-ep mysteries but i missed their guiding structure during the last "arcless" episodes. i had never seen the series finale before and it just feels like a mess, they threw a bunch of stuff at the wall to set up a future that didn't end up existing. very bittersweet.
however it was still an opportunity to inhabit the world w/characters i loved so i'm glad i watched it. as for the movie, i think they managed to recap enough of S3 in the beginning of the movie and then organically throughout that you'll be fine.

I am now into S2 and hi my name's VGrrl and I love Veronica Mars
All my previous 'meh' is now gone after binge-watching S1. Once the bigger storylines ramped up and she stopped having to look for ppl's stolen bicycles etc all the goddamn time, it got way better. I'm still trying to figure out how they made me turn a corner from hating Logan on site to squeeing like a fangirl when they finally hooked up.
Now I'm onto hating Duncan, like a constant obsessive hatred. Like every episode I want him to be murdered horribly or drown in a bathtub or eaten by wild animals. He's such a turnip.

Crushing SO hard on Logan now though. It's a sickness.

I think they stopped having Logan organizing hobo fights for starters.

um if the 'prom episode' is anything the 80's prom episode where Logan wore no pants then I'm all in

Kendall: Doesn't this mean anything to you? Logan: It does. It means I'm getting laid. And I owe your village a goat.

It would be amazing if the Veronica Mars novel was dense and impenetrable, secretly written by DFW before his death.

our local indie theater got the vmars movie last week, so I saw it a second time and enjoyed it a LOT more than the first time. I was so wound up about identifying callbacks and returning characters that I couldn't enjoy all the jokes and character chemistry.

Did you ever wonder what Veronica Mars would be like, with a different actress, and she is a zombie who helps solve crimes by learning about crimes by eating the brains of the murdered and murderers? From the same producer, even?
You now have iZombie!

IT's not that great (yet) unfortunately, much more procedural and stock-character-friendly than VMars. And I do not enjoy the big bad.

It's kind of charming, I think. Yeah, baddie sucks, and I hate zombies, but the concept of her taking on attributes of dead folks provides a lot of space.
