t waits for P-C to pimp marsinvestigation.net

I hope Mac gets a bigger role next year, because Veronica REALLY needs some good girlfriends. I wouldn't mind seeing Carmen again either. Meg is more problematic, but that's through no faults of Meg's. Veronica, much as she is my girl, has more issues than National Geographics and more buttons than a NASA shuttle control room.

ETA: HA! I knew it.

Excellent new thread! I am one of those canucks finding the VM love through summer repeats. I've missed a few eps along the way, but am loving what I've seen so far.

And now I have to avoid this thread until the summer reruns are done. Hopefully I'll get to see the second season...I should check my listings to be sure...

Veronica found out that Duncan was chasing Meg before Meg even knew. By hauling Meg to the dance and sending her off with Duncan, she absolutely gave her blessing. Just because Veronica feels ackward around the two of them, doesn't equal betrayal.

Well, I think Rob Thomas has basically said in some interview or another that it's either Duncan or Logan at the door. Because otherwise the fans would feel "betrayed" - though, gotta say, I read that and actually... felt betrayed.

It NEEDS to be Wallace.

But that's neither here nor there. Given the creator's comment, it's got to be Duncan. I still think that means the last 4 seconds of the finale were poorly done (maybe Kristen didn't even know who it was?) because Veronica looks too happy and un-conflicted for it to be either of the love boys.

Veronica gave Meg her blessing, 100%.

Mac does need a bigger role. I ♥ Mac.

Yay VM thread!

Umm, I agree with the "should be Wallace"s, but also tend to doubt it.

Exactly this. She just looks so relaxed and relieved, that Wallace just seems more logical.

Hey, I got to pimp the show to the former VP of the Co. I used to work for last week! I ran into him & family at the mall, where there are Veronica Mars banners hung everywhere (presumably because it films locally). Sitting in the lunchcourt he said, "So who's Veronica Mars?" And I told him about the show. Where's my toaster?

Oh, no, there's a chain of malls (Westfield? something like that) that has those banners all across the country.

Either RT or KB said this in an interview (I can't remember which one or where I read it). So her reaction is meaningless.

Yeah, just for the record, I lurve the show but didn't like that damn cliffhanger business. Especially knowing the reaction was meaningless. Gives me shades of the annoyance of the Buffy S6 cliffhanger, when they didn't tell James Marsters what Spike was actually going for. I hate that shit.

It is one of our "Westfield Shopping Towns."

Huh. I went off on how part of the fun of the show is knowing so many of the locations. When they found Duncan in Argentina (?), I was all, "That's Balboa Park!" The building he was sitting outside - Casa del Prado Theatre. I walk past it every week on my way to dance class.

So her reaction is meaningless.

This is lame.

Speaking of gender, there is also the question of "Does RT have as much Mother Issues as Joss has Daddy Issues?". But I think in VM, it's more like Parent Issues. The intergenerational conflict is an essential part of the show, so while you have Lianne Mars and Lynn Echolls abandoning their kids and Celeste Kane with her rampant favoritism and general bitchiness, you also have Aaron Echolls and all his horrors and Jake Kane, who may have loved his kids, but still a criminal and a terribly flawed figure. At least the show has Keith, and to a lesser extent Alicia (Wallace's mom), to counteract the whole "the parents are bad, mmkay?" thing.
