Veronica Mars


My favourite show is Veronica Mars, we watched the pilot in Media class but I watch it religiously. Anticipation is building for the finale as it may end up being the series finale if Veronica mars ends up getting cancelled. The first season of Veronica Mars is centered around her life: being an outcast of the popular group, her best friends murder leads to the downfall of her father's career as the sherieff, her work with her dad in their P.I. office, and the mystery of who killed Lily Kane (her best friend). The second season is just as good: In her senior year Veronica tries to solve how her classmates were killed when their bus went off a cliff. The third season which is currently on the CW is in shambles, it has gone away from the basic one long mystery over the entire season and basic cases throughout one episode, instead there are three mysteries happening. So far the two have been who has killed the Dean of the univesity and who was the rapist on campus. Main characters of the season excluding veronica (weevil, wallace, mac, lamb, piz, and parker) are not seen for long periods of time and no explanation is given as to where they have gone.

This show has the best dialogue, i have to write down a couple quotes because they make me laugh a lot (hopefully you as well.)

-Van Clemmons: Mr. Echolls, I was wondering if I could have a word?
Logan: Anthropomorphic. All yours, big guy.

-Mr. Tom Daniels: [walk in to find Weevil and Logan playing cards] Is this Reno or detention?
Logan: Can you believe the best of both.
Weevil: [Daniels takes away their cards] Oh, come on, man.
Logan: What the hell, we were playing a game here.
Mr. Tom Daniels: This is punishment gentlemen, not party time.
Logan: Well, that would explain the absence of balloon animals.

-Veronica: You prank-called Mandy?
Lenny: What if I did?
Veronica: Well, I want to congratulate you. Shake your hand. Congratulations! You've been named the world's biggest cockroach. This award is given in recognition in your unparalleled lack of decency and humanity. Bravo. You're going to die friendless and alone.
-Wallace: I was gonna hang out with some of the guys on the team at lunch.
Veronica: And ruin the sanctity of our lunch duo? You know that'll send me crying to the bathroom.
The cast of the show includes: Kristen Bell, Percy Daggs the third, Jason Dohring, Francis Capra, Enrico Colantoni, Ryan Hansen, Teddy Dunn, Michael Muhney, Kyle Gallner and Tina Majorino. Not only is the dialogue awsome the cast is one of the best casts i have seen in my entire life, they all are such great actors. Guest stars include: Aaron Ashmore, Johnathon Taylor Thomas, Paris Hilton, Alyson Hannigan,Max Greenfield, Jonathan Chesner, Sydney Tamiia Poitier, Ed Begley Jr., Johathan Bennet and many others.
Currently rumors of Veronica Mars are being circulated as is usual with the end of the season approaching however this season there is a lot more going on as the creator Rob Thomas is considering changing the show making it four years later while Veronica has entered the FBI training program. For all those watching the third season it finally returns on May 1, the season finale will be two hours long on May 22. The next few episodes must also include the exit of both the characters Piz and Parker as they are both leaving to do other pilots.

The bottom line: However much the third season is not overly as good as the others, both seasons one and two are worth buying on dvds because the dialogue is so clever, the plot is awsome and you can watch it over and over again. Plus the theme song We Used To Be Friends by the Dandy Warhols rocks!
