Veronica Mars

Oh, what could've been.

I dare not watch it because I fear I'll fall into a deep depression if I do. Damn I miss that show. :-(

No Keith, no Logan, no deal.

no Logan would have been the best thing they could do for the show

I'd've been bummed about the lack of Keith in the show, although they could've plausibly kept him in the cast way more easily than Logan or any of VM's other high school/college classmates. I really wish they'd gotten the go-ahead to do that Season 4, even if it wouldn't have worked and been cancelled a year later, I really like the idea of a show like that just jumping ahead a few years in the chronology.

Do we know that there wouldn't have been any Keith? He's not in that promo, but she's still in LA so we could see Keith, Wallace, Weevil without much trouble. Also, I guess, Logan, but it really would have been great to move on from that story line (though apparently she was just going to do the same dance with FBI Logan).

soon to be jumping ahead in the chronology: One Tree Hill!

I want to mount Kristen Bell....she'd be tied up of course

Waht, teh roofies sub-plot wasn't enuff for yoos?

Never seen this -- worth renting the first season DVD?

No, because you will be so heartbroken and distraught that the subsequent seasons are sooooo awful in comparison to the utopian splendour of season 1 that the difference will cause you to wish you'd never seen the show and then kill yourself, or failing that, complain on a message board.

So I finally rented Season 1... Awesome fun. Dare I continue? Does the show really get that bad? Or are the internet-posters just being too... internet-poster-y about it?

Season 2 had its charms, but it seemed annoyingly jerky and tossed-off compared to the impeccably paced and plotted season 1. After watching it we had no desire to get season 3.

Total agreement.

The filmed pilot for season 4 was pretty good, though.

I actually thought season 2 was pretty great, albeit a little over-ambitious, but I'm afraid to see season 3.

it's all good, go for it and don't be all 'OMG SHARK JUMP' about it

Latter half of the third season an improvement on the second season, first half about the same as S2.

Neither is as good as the first, but still better than most TV.

We've been watching season 3 and it's really not as bad as people make it out to be. Definitely not as compelling as the first two, but still worth watching. And Dick suddenly becomes hilarious and awesome.

Season 2 drags a lot in the middle but easily redeems itself by the end, and the last few episodes of series 3 (after the long term story arcs are over) are still pretty great.

I just watched all three seasons last month and yeah, season 3 was a real drag at the start, but started getting a bit better with the second mystery arc and then the last four or so episodes were pretty brilliant. I liked where they were going with it and wished that there had been a proper season 4 - the original outline of season 4, not the FBI one.

and yeah, I agree with everyone who says that while seasons 2 and 3 aren't great compared to season 1, it's still miles better than your average TV show.

We've been watching season 3 and it's really not as bad as people make it out to be. Definitely not as compelling as the first two, but still worth watching. And Dick suddenly becomes hilarious and awesome.

OTfM. Except for the part about Dick being awesome; Dick was and will never be anything remotely approaching "awesome"

I think season 3 Dick is pretty funny as predictable but ultimately harmless asshole. Although emo Dick, like emo Logan, sucks.

I miss this show :(

best tv station ever?

Gah, I miss this show too. Maybe I'll go and DL all John Hughes films to make up for my loss. :-)

can't read this thread because i'm only about halfway through s1 but yeah i love this shit

do yerself a favor and stop with season two, which is... full of wtf moments itself, but not nearly as bleak as the third season.

Yeah, season 2 was not as good, and season 3 was unwatchable for me.

The second season finale kind of ruined this show for me, it was such an unbelievable Scooby Doo-style reveal.

Yeah, it was pretty rough.

LET'S NOT SPOIL THIS FOR N/A OKAY GUYS?
let him have his wtf moment(s) for himself.

i dug season 2 more than 1, but really they're both top notch. 3 isn't as good, but still essential due to the fact that veronica mars is the best TV show made this century.

Watch the last 5 episodes of series 3 at least (the standalone ones). For all the flaws in series 2 and 3 they're still a lot better than almost anything else you could be watching.

the 2nd season finale is kinda hilarious in retrospect

the plane!!! lol

I loved the second season finale for that reason, it was crazy and over the top! But no spoilers.

Season 3 is just.. okay, then the final episodes are just bad... you want to talk about disappointing finales, the S3 finale was just awful, a terrible rehash of season 1 stuff and just a horrible down note to end it all.

only halfway thru season 1 but veronica/logan, fuckin barf

lolol season one of this shit is great, season two is okay also. avoid season three.
logan suxxxx. in fact, all the men veronica dates suxxxx.

why wont she just get with wallace

(ps dont tell me if she ends up getting with wallace)

OMG I was totes in support of Logan + VM, I was practically suckerpunched by that scene. So hot.

would be more into it if logan wasnt so dumb lookin

I like Logan except for his retarded bro necklaces. We're about halfway through s2, still digging it except I'm missing the episodicness of s1.

logan's hair makes him look like a dragonball z character.

logan as a character - interesting, well-rounded, well-acted
logan as an object to look at - doughy, terrible fashion, terrible hair, worst necklaces

ok yeah I'll agree with that

i loved this show

i wonder what shakey thinks of this.

Crinkly eyes, no lips to speak of, pale like the belly of a dead fish. This is, for better or worse, 100% my type.

guy who plays Logan is a 2nd-generation $cientologist, if that helps you enjoy his character more, max

i am wracking my brain and damn if I can't recall a single smashworthy dude from this show

weevil?

i was always hoping veronica would break down and booty call weevil after one of her breakups.
