I just watched it. There was a snippet with Logan's friend, the desk clerk. I think the rest of the scenes were actually from previous episodes, except maybe one where Veronica asks Logan if something is wrong, and he answers, "Yeah." It was a relationship-based promo, more than strictly an episode promo. The announcer said something along the lines of, "Their relationship isn't broken but it's starting to crack." (not exact)

Right. And there really wasn't anything in the episode that related to it. And nothing in the promo about the cheating all around. (Accusations of, Wallace's recovery from, Harmony & Keith.)

Of course it was the TA. Sigh.

That part actually worked for me. After Veronica showing him up constantly this year, it was nice to see that he actually has some brains and didn't get his position by accident. In a way, it was a test. If Veronica was able to figure it out, she'd clear her name and discover the professor's affair. If she failed, then she wasn't worthy of the praise the professor was giving her (in the TA's eyes) and a thorn in his (the TA) side is removed. It wasn't particularly nice, but it made perfect sense to me.

I agree, Kalshane. I loved that it was a big elaborate test and that, like you said, Veronica was either good enough to figure it out, or she wasn't.

Cindy! I loved this episode too! Let's stay together!

Lemme tell you since -- oh P-C -- since you made me watch it...

*totally misses the reference*

I was afraid that after Keith got out of the car and was okay, that the other driver would turn out to be Harmony's husband and come back from his truck with a baseball bat or shotgun.

The Keith/Harmony hook-up was understandable plotwise and character-wise, but I still don't like it.

From Kristin at E:

Meanwhile, over on the WB, sources tell me that Veronica Mars has received an order for three more episodes--not the full season it deserves, but this diehard fan will take it! And apparently, One Tree Hill also has received an order for more episodes (either one or three more depending on who you ask). Not a huge show of faith, but at least it's something.

Can you believe she still calls it the WB?

---

I think she's conflating two pieces of old news into one piece of possibly inaccurate news.

They've ordered three scripts, and directors have been hired for those scripts. That does suggest that perhaps three actual episodes have been ordered, but I don't know whether it's standard practice to string the show along like that rather than just giving them the back nine or not.

(Tina Turner also covered it, probably before you were born).

This makes me feel a little sick. I kind of feel like if they were going to pick it up, they would have. Whether Kristin is right or it's just a conflation of what you've explained, it sounds very much like what's happened to other shows that weren't picked up.

Damn.
