Season 1 of Veronica Mars was a pretty good example of the perfect season. Once that first episode started it gripped you and you wanted to watch straight through. And when it ended there was uncertainty over it being picked up again, so there were aspects of that final episode that were left open, you could choose who was at the door if it never made it back.

But it did get a second season, and so it was revealed that it was Show Spoilers ▼

at the door.

But the first half of this season never really got going properly. Yes there was the mystery of the bus crash, but it wasn’t as important to me as Lilli’s death in the first season. But mid point in the season it really took off again. I’m not sure exactly when. Some people might suggest the episode Donut Run, when Show Spoilers ▼

but I’m not too sure. That was a turning point in that Show Spoilers ▼

was out of the picture, and now the door was wide open for Show Spoilers ▼

but that episode, and whole storyline seemed a bit sloppy to me. Surely Show Spoilers ▼

Maybe it was the episode Aint No Magic Mountain High Enough when we get to see Logan go all sweet and luvvy dovey Show Spoilers ▼

Plots within plots.

And then there is the Lilly Kane murder trial. Show Spoilers ▼

but it was a great storyline to bring back.

I could bring up other issues, like the Show Spoilers ▼

or the return of Show Spoilers ▼

, altogether this started slow, but the reason raised its game more than enough to make up for that. And rewatching will probably help.

Final episode: Show Spoilers ▼

Could you PLEASE send somebody up as quickly as possible? He opened the computer with a screwdriver and is looking for his missing fonts

  • I’ve been covering, cataloguing and stamping books all afternoon. My hands feel icky, despite having been just washed. Not dirty, but sorta gritty or something.
  • IT guy came down to blow up some computers.
    That’s only half a joke. He actually came down to take a look at the two that just won’t switch on. So he goes down, does something[1] and there is this huge bang[2] like a bomb just went off or something. All the students go “woah, dude”[3] and he wanders back up to me. “Yup, they’re on fire. I’ll get them replaced tomorrow.”[4]
  • Veronica Mars season 2 dvd has, and I quote “amazing extras”. Now, I know that’s got you interested. What could they be? Special money releasing devices, cause that’d be amazing. Or the cast in miniature so they could do extra scenes just for you? Which’d be equally amazing.
    Sadly, no. The extras are Behind the scenes featurette, gag reel and deleted scenes. All good, but hardly amazing. From that srticle it also seems likely that it has gotten picked up for a third season. But not definite yet.
  • the end

Linknotes:
  1. who knows what, it is that arcane IT dept
  2. look, I’ve said it before, exaggeration is a GOOD thing
  3. again with the lying but I can’t help it
  4. what do you mean you want truth? Okay so, some power-thingy is fried most likely due to a power surge. he’ll fix it tomorrow, maybe
