I’ve been asked to blog about Veronica Mars, so here goes.
I still enjoy the show, but I’m not feeling the level of insane love like I have the past two seasons for one reason –Â Logan. They’ve given him nothing to do this year. He hasn’t even had that much dialogue. All he does is sort of look sad and quiet and mopey.
His mom committed suicide, his good-for-nothing, abusive dad was murdered after murdering his girlfriend, the other girlfriend was raped – he has plenty to be depressed about. But I still miss the Logan of yesteryear. The smart-ass bad boy that you just can’t help but like. Who always had a snappy comeback for every situation. They need to bring that Logan back. That Logan and his relationship with Veronica is the main reason that I love the show so much.
Wallace has been light on the scenes too, although watching him and Logan go toe-to-toe as guard/prisoner was good. And whatever happened to Wallace’s mom? And the subplot with his dad? They’ve both just sort of disappeared off the face of the earth …
Also, the subplot with Keith and Kendall and the Fitzpatricks was kind of out there, too. I never got the whole Fitzpatrick subplot last year. I thought it was one too many red herrings about the bus crash.
But Weevil returns this week, which is reason to celebrate. 🙂 Now, if they can just give him some scenes with Logan and Wallace …
Honestly, I don’t want to get too attached to the show this year. It’s only been given a 13-episode commitment, and Veronica and Logan are going to break up at some point around episode 6. If it ends with Veronica and Logan on the outs, well, I don’t know what I’ll do.
I just have to hope that the ratings are good and that Rob Thomas, the creator/producer, is as smart as his characters about where he ends things.
What about you? Are you still loving the show? Inquiring minds want to know …
