Veronica Mars

I absolutely died at "is Piz back there?"

BIG SPOILER BELOW

...

did the ultimate bad guy really have to end up being the most famous (non-original-run) actor in the show? is this columbo?

well somebody had to do it

he is not more famous than JK Simmons!

he did it too though!

also that's arguable

JK has 4x the google hits, an Oscar and a big MCU part! not close.

man go back and remind yourself what shithead logan is at the beginning of the show

lmao listen, I KNOW

i rewatched the show last year and spent the first half of season one tabulating every racist joke logan makes at weevil's expense, but as soon as logan and veronica kissed the goddamn memory wipe happened all over again

Season 5 should be Maddie and Veronica Cagney and Laceying it up in Chicago or something.

I would watch roughly 10,000 more seasons of this length/quality regardless of setting tbh

yeah I just want to see her zinging people, solving mysteries, and sometimes getting blindsided by one of her close friends or family members telling her she's CROSSED THE LINE this time.

getting gradually more disappointed in people and institutions / gradually disappointing more people and institutions

with the caveat that if/when Colantoni quits acting or croaks there should be no more show

Season 5 should be Maddie and Veronica Cagney and Laceying it up in Chicago or something.

i would watch so many more seasons if they are anything like the calibre of this one

SO good

but plz Rob Thomas no more braek heart

can we get cybill in season 5? make it happen!

DUNCAN KANE IS BACK AND HE'S STILL EXPRESSIONLESS

I got taken in by this and kept expecting him to pop up, so well played.

so happy there was no Piz

i unfortunately love piz but i'm fine with him not being here, feel like that relationship is pretty expired by the movie

anyway i enjoyed this very much despite some loose moments as i mentioned earlier. feel like they could get into a real groove with another season pls

logan was doomed, rip :((((((((

^^^ sorry ENORMOUS SPOILER i forgot everyone was being coy

can’t believe Piz gunned him down, really a left turn in the plot

lol

Maddie was very good, I though. Well inserted.

Matty is also on iZombie, playing a very similar character.

Finally watched this and:

i just finished the new season

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫🥺

great season but gahh heartbroken. Goddamn this show.

I have two episodes left to go but Jason Dohring is really bringing that izombie catatonic acting to VM.

the overall banter though is still so delightful though.

Need to watch! Thank you for reminder!

I needed more of Veronica's new dog. Also, had the same strong dislike of new theme song at first but now it's whatevs.

I need them to greenlight another season

yeah not a fan of the new theme song, sorry Chrissie.

not enough Wallace or Weevil this season imo, Mac was missed, though I enjoyed the extended time with Dep... Agent Leo, my second favourite Veronica boyfriend.

and lol @ all the former villains (Liam Fitzpatrick, Tim the TA, Mercer the rapist) showing up for exactly one scene each.

Love Logan but he did seem a trifle lobotomized this season, I can see what Veronica was complaining about.

Maybe it's the $cient0l0gy?

what? oh, no!

noooooooo

using the phrase "by NY Times best-selling author L. Ron Hubbard" on a flier for a seminar held at the actual CoS Celebrity Center is some amazing "we're reeling in people who know as little as possible" work

going to drop it now, but this is good sc1entology thread material and I don't want to sully the VM thread

ha, I almost brought up the scientology thing but I didn't want to make a mean joke because I haven't finished the final two episodes yet and saw the spoilers above.

yeah Hulu is only available through Crave in Canada so you have to pay for two services to get at it, which fuck that tbh

Wait, I only had to pay for Crave to watch it. I binged it over the last two days since I had a cold. Ending = holy shit. It was addictive and good drama/suspense. I do appreciate how they've adapted the show to everyone being 15 years older. Not sure if it was good mystery.

yeah the mystery was kinda “Agatha Christie starter kit”

tbh the mysteries on the show have never been all that great/distinctive. they're more just skeletons to hang the characters, relationships, perilous ethical/moral landscape and mood on.

s1 had the best one and it was pretty much just Twin Peaks redux

Hm, well, Twin Peaks reimagined as a naturalistic traditional mystery story is p much what I want from TV. Even with that one, though, iirc, the answer was m/l just revealed via the deux ex machina of the videotapes in the last episode? I feel like there were some solid mysteries of the week, which they've done away with altogether, although I'd have to rewatch to recall what they were.

Rewatching s1 does seem like a good use of the month of Crave I've signed up for.

Speaking of Peaks-a-like shows: I found the first season of Northern Exposure for 25p a couple of days ago. That was compared to TP a lot, wasn’t it? I don’t think I ever watched it.

compared?? related 'quirky' northwest settings maybe but

lol yeah that is not a good comparison at all

VM is more bad-ass PI (meaning a cop without a police structure) than sherlock-style clue detection for sure
