Veronica Mars

Fucking up the theme is like the signal move--it's like even that assurance of pep has been chopped up.

The first 15 mins did sag with exposition, but that's inevitable, introducing new people, locations, etc.

Since their doing the three mystery arcs, I think some might be thrown by a new rhythm. There isn't as much Veronica and Dad just mucking about--more fioreshadowing of some big badnesses to come.

This one ep packed ALOT into 40 air minutes: the expo, dad's friend's deal, Kendall (maybe) getting shot, Dad getting shot, Dick all bloodied up after doing fuck knows what, about which you KNOW Logan is gonna do something that will screw up him and Veronica. And we haven't even gotten to whatever awful thing happened to Weevil.

I'd say that's some well-stocked entertainment.

yeah not sure what happened in the end though

liam had hired other PI to find kendall/cormac obviously but it is unclear who cormac shot

he said kendall wasn't such a good judge of character: he thinks keith led liam there and then cormac had to shoot liam/he said kendall wasn't such a good judge of character: he shot kendall? suppose the 2nd doesn't really make much sense

weird though

Hi RJG!

so cormac shot kendall because she could finger him for more jailtime?

and that was keith's gun he had? wonder why he let keith go out instead of just shooting them both in the house. so there would be a story I suppose

hi mary!

v sad

LIES!

it was not particularly good, but season openers are hard. and college just doesn't work as well as high school as allegory-for-life.

and it's true, it didn't look or feel noir-y enough. the tone was way too sunny for most of it. also, I hate Mac. am I supposed to like Mac? that comment she made about her roommate having a tip jar + being mean to her perfectly nice adoptive parents because they don't have money=she sucks.

I'm hoping this I-don't-give-a-shit-about-anything vibe Veronica's giving off is going to crumple soon, but I don't want it to be this Piz guy who makes it happen.

The backstage part was true!

Also, redheaded sorority chick is hot.

The Stanford Experiment story was nicely done, but it felt forced a bit.

And am i the only one who doesn't care much for Keith story so far?

The credits started too soon, and new version of the song sucks. Actually i liked till the very last bit where it kinda ruins the whole thing for you.

Also, I love the Battlestar Galactica references.

Then, it got better. Although I kinda of hate guilty Veronica.

I don't know, this story arc just seems so much more a trifle than the previous seasons. The major characters are barely involved at all. The first season's plot was so epic by comparison.

Good episode. I know the first major mystery seems a bit downplayed, but they're fighting to get new viewers. I like the mysterys-of-the-week.

This episode was alright. The use of "Hold On Hold On" made me happy, and Veronica's complete hatred of painter-stalker guy cracked me up. Her sudden realization that tracing Logan's car was a mistake was highly lame, though.

Weevil, Junior Veronica Mars Detective was awesome and so sad to see it end (presumably) so soon.
