VM2x01: A Short Review

[coalescent]

It would not be an exaggeration to say that I'd been dreading the season premiere of Veronica Mars as much as I'd been looking forward to it.

Spoilers below, obviously.

What is up with creepy Leo fondling Veronica when he comes to arrest Logan? (totally disturbing)

Also, I thought the drug testing storyline was rather lame and didn't seem very plausible, so I am glad they didn't spend a whole lot of time on it.

I must be your Bizzaro-world twin, because I thought Leo was the best choice of the guys she dated (smart, armed and highly unlikely to be a killer). I also wanted more of the mystery, and felt a little cheated when it was solved around minute 40.

I felt sorry for the actress who played Meg. I can just picture her calling her parents, telling them how happy she was to be asked back for another season. Maybe she'll get to be a ghost, too.

And if I was Veronica, I'd do pretty much whatever my ghosts told me to do. Lily hasn't steered her wrong yet.

I would also support a reunion with Leo. But I have long since accepted that heroines in TV shows will never go for the stable relationships, because most viewers think that's boring ... ;)

not boring, creepy - I bet he's a stalker by the middle of the season. :P

Logan's appeal has always been a mystery to me. Duncan is a fine boyfriend for someone else, but the actor doesn't have the charisma to be The Boyfriend (tm).

What mystifies me, and always will mystify me, is how we're supposed to believe that Veronica and Wallace have a purely platonic relationship. They don't even pretend there's a little tension there. It's a dead spot on the show.
