The Return of Veronica Mars
Veronica Mars returned this week. I am one among many fans who have lamented that season three is nowhere near as great as season one was. But since season one was one of the best things on TV, ever, maybe I’m expecting too much. Veronica is still sassy, and the supporting cast is strong. I was sad to see Ed Begley Jr.’s character die at the end of the mid-season episode. He brought a lot of much-needed quirky humor to the dark storyline. At the end of this week’s ep, I was thrilled to see Veronica show up at Logan’s door, even though I don’t love the lovesick Logan. It sounds like he’s swallowing every other word. I don’t mind Piz, but Piz and Veronica? No way. He’s not got nearly enough dark side. Riley on Buffy had more than he does, and look how well THAT ended.
For the rest of the season, then, I’m going to try to be less tough on Veronica. We girl detectives have to stick together.
