The Official Veronica Mars - Season 3 Thread

[verbalgirl]

I didn't see any shark-jumping moments. Compared to Duncan and pregnant, sole-survivor Meg in a coma, things seemed pretty run-of-the-mill.

I think they adjusted the tone of the ep a bit to appeal more to Gilmore Girls' viewers but according to critics who've seen the first two eps, it goes back into standard VM mode in the second epsiode.

I've watched the ep a few times and discussed it ad nauseum at TWOP but its really good. Not the best episode they've done though. Almost like a small pilot that manages to keep us old faithful viewers happy. I really hate the new credits, more the remix than the credits, they have to fix that.

Is this the official spoiler free thread?

Did anyone else notice that the Crim TA was Lucky?

Ok, so now I'm done watching and I have a few comments.

1. I hate the new version of the Dandy's song.
2. Nice shirt = best. line. ever.
3. I thought it was a little predictable; it was obvious that the person who was the victim in the end was going to be a victim. The person who is the primary suspect was also obviously going to be a suspect from the first 5 mins of the ep.
4. I liked the Kendall twist.

I've noticed that people bring up lucky a lot as the t.a. and...this is slightly embarassing but I had a really difficult time remembering who lucky was last season. Then I finally remembered after visiting imdb.I don't know why that helped but for some reason looking up his info there clicked my brain back into my head. I'm slow. His wig is the worst I've ever seen. At least he's not all crazy bleaching feet man.

Anyway, enjoyed the episode. The show hasn't lost what made it special in the 1st season. I miss veronica's lebaron though. She doesn't strike me as loving a huge suv, but whatevers...it's all part of her makeover. Long hair, tons of makeup.

I'm happy mac is a regular now. piz is whatever to me...glad he got the argyle leftovers. Veronica and her men liking argyle.

The kendall twist was good...really didn't see it coming. I don't really follow spoilers for any shows (except for the office lately).

I hate the new theme song. The old version seemed to suit the show much better. I hope the execs in charge hear everybody's complaints and change it back.

im thrilled its back but i have to acknowledge that it's different this season, ie, no overarching major crime (unless you consider the campus rape the crime, but thats not as compelling as murder and i think its not going to last the whole season). it can never be as good as the first season, but i still love the dialog and characters.

wasnt Lamb supposed to die in the crash? but he was in the credits?

i loved that they reused Lucky in another role. didnt they used to do that on Popular? i havent seen that yet but someone told me they used that same device. i thought RT worked ont hat show too, but i looked it up & i guess he didnt.

i dont give a flying fuck about the credits or the theme song. just a personal opinion.

why do they insist on torturing us with LoVe drama? maybe its inevitable that it doesnt work for them, but damnit. at least we got a post-coitis scene to make it easier to tolerate.

all in all, the season premiere wasnt great , esp compared to last year's. but it was fun and ive read that the second ep tops the first by a longshot, so we'll see.

btw, love the scene with wallace, piz, and the fucking hackey-sack. fucking hackey sack, classic!
