Veronica Mars

[JLBats]

The lack of fandom for this fantastic show reminds me of Arrested Development, except AD is at least appreciated by Internet geeks. This show is so far off the radar... that it isn't... even on the radar...

really? i thought i heard that the season premiere got really high ratings?


...or maybe that was just by comparison with it's past ratings?

In comparison. Although it has gone up since it aired on CBS.

go buy the commentary-less DVDs.

Disappointed much?

 

[DBM]

I saw a whole episode for the first time this season last night. I don't really know what's going on in the overall story but this single episode was good.

 

[maxwell's demon]

question- does anyone else get a weird "late late 80's/early 90's- syndicated" TV show vibe from VM? Like, the kind of show that would've originally aired at 4pm on saturday afternoons or something?

I don't know why- but that's how i felt about the show from day one- and it's kind of what keeps the show interesting for me. it's a weird tone to be going for.

Sort of, actually, but I don't think the story is what gives it that feel... not sure though.

Disappointed much?

It did good this past week because Lost was a repeat...

 

[Wimpie]

I love this show.... just wish other people would realize how great it is and that the ratings would pick up!

 

[Coldqueen]

I loves me some Veronica...and wish others did too.

 

[Coldqueen]

Is anyone else pissed about

Spoiler

Weevil only being in twelve epis

? I mean, come on! He's one of the best!


Also...I am so tired of Duncan! Enough with the VD already! I want me some LoVe and I want it now.

 

[Abaddon]

Yeah,Duncan is pretty dull now that we know he isnt Veronica's half-brother,and that he didnt murder Lilly.I still dont care for Logan though.BTW,I missed last weeks ep.What happened with Beaver's dad?

 

[Coldqueen]

Who watched last night's epi? Was it not great?! We had V teaming up with Kane Software's head security man, Weedman, which was totally unexpected...

Got some arson...some creepy roommate swapping...

And some Dick...Casablancas that is. Is it wrong that I'm missing Wallace, but seriously want Duncan to go away...?

Back to the point, V's dad ain't Sheriff, which upsets me...but I'm over it...I've heard that

Spoiler

V's cop ex-beau is making an appearance in an upcoming epi where V's dad is investigating the Sheriff's office on something to do with Logan

Anyone else missing the LoVe of the show? I don't know...those two just fit better than VD.

 

[DBM]

Good episode last night. And how about that Joss Whedon cameo?

 

[Coldqueen]

I was dissappointed...I expected it to be more...they said he was going into a rant for like five minutes, but we didn't even get to hear it...and then they gave the America's Next Top Model chick more screen time than him...I felt ripped off.

 

[Abaddon]

bump

 

[The Watchman]

I would have sex with this show, best show I'm currently watching.

 

[3dman27]

wasn't veronicas father wrongly fired from his sherrifs job ? i think thats why he opened a detective agency to make a living after being fired if he was shouldn't the courts have ordered him reinstated

 

[Abaddon]

Because they already had a sheriff take his place.

and the city of neptune didn't want to risk a SECOND wrongfull dismissal suit got cha

 

[Abaddon]

I've been out of the loop.What happened with Charisma's character?

 

[Abaddon]

Bump.

 

[GL1]

I've been out of the loop.What happened with Charisma's character?

[spoier]Well, for the recrod, she is Dick and Beaver's STEP-mom... and ever since their father's fraudulent multi billion dollar real estate practice were exposed... she's been kinda at their mercy. She also got needy with Logan and he seems to be in the process of dropping her. Dick just wants to sleep with her, but Beaver is using her as a puppet owner to run his potentially very successful real estate business. She, desperate, apparently took Beaver's offer and I'm sure we'll hear from her again.[/spoiler]

I think that spoiler answers the question about what happened to Mr. Casablancas (Dick and Beaver's father)

I love this show. I love how despicably hatable Jackie is (The new girl, Wallace's love interest) and I think having a hatable character who isn't quite the show-stealing bad girl teen shows love to flaunt is/was a stroke of genious and hope Jackie gets even more hatable in the months to come. Of course, it'll be great to see how Wallace drops her.

I also don't like Duncan... I don't like the way they've turned Veronica into a '09er again and I don't like the lack of a major overarching storyline... but the show is so dang good that I forget that stuff everytime I turn it on and I actually expect them to bring everything back full circle.

Yeah, I know, but it's actually closer to Bogart or Buffy than Nancy Drew.
