My Big Fat Veronica MARS Update
So let me start off by saying that I have not been the biggest fan of Season 3. It is without a doubt the weakest of the 3 Seasons this amazing show has had. But that does not mean that Season 3 was a complete waste.
This season gave use some pretty kool things. We got Mac as a season regular, we got the great rapist arc that was introduced in season 2, we got the excellent evil professor ep (and who can forget veronica's confrontation with foyle in the classroom), the return of Jonathan from "Life as we know it" aka Chris Lowell aka Piz. Then we got alot of bad...so much bad that it would clog up the post, but negativity is not what this post is about.
The final 2 episodes of Veronica Mars hooked me again the same way Season 1 did. Never at any point this season was the show this on mark and on point than in "Weevil's Wobble" and "The Bitch is Back". Veronica Mars, the one i fell in love with was back last night. She was the smart ass angsty angry "smarter than me" bitch we havent seen in a very long time. The episodes had all the elements of classic Mars. A secret society, veronica snooping and almost getting caught, familiar characters and most important the mystery was not dull and boring like most of this season has been. It was suspenseful and genuinely entangling.
What makes this feel like salt in the wound is that The CW even after watching these two eps, still chose not to renew it, and rob thomas wrote this whole new arc for the show that we will never get to see in any way shape or form. That is what is truly sad.
The current news on VM is that CW can still resurrect the show if ratings for last night were huge but dont be surprised if they were the season low because yesterday was IDOL finale part 1, and apparently may be considering bringing VM back for 13 episodes mid season next year. With the recent news of a possible Gilmore Girls Tv movie, one can only hope.
If anyone is interested in spreading the VM love or recommending the set to someone Season 1 and Season 2 will be on sale this sunday for all of next week at Best Buy for 19.99.
*disclaimer: The difference is box size is not a sign of seasonal preference, it is merely the result of photobucket...Although season 1 is the best! ;)*
That my friends is a steal. Too bad i own them already. And most of my close friends own them too.
Here is a sneak peak of the Season 3(final season) box art...
I love it! It's much better than Season 2's Artwork mostly because of the color scheme. This cover and the even more amazing final 2 eps may have solidified me getting this set at full price on release week.
It was awesome while it lasted...
Veronica Mars, she's a marshmallow. The best kind too.
