What I’ve Just Finished Reading

Vintage Murder, one of Ngaio Marsh’s New Zealand-set murder mysteries. I realize she could probably only come up with so many excuses to send her Scotland Yard detective around the world to investigate murders in New Zealand, but I really think it’s too bad she didn’t set more of her mysteries in New Zealand, ( Read more... )

Day 27 - Best pilot episode.

This is a tie between the pilot of Veronica Mars and The West Wing. Not only did both pilots make me want to see more of the show, they made me want to see more of the show right now, how about we sit and watch six episodes AT THIS VERY MOMENT ( Read more... )

Day 21 - Favorite ship.

Logan/Veronica. This is the only ship I have ever written a manifesto for, because my feelings about the eternal rightness of LoVe are just that strong and will not be swayed by even articles like Femslash Friday: Veronica Mars, which builds an extremely cogent case for Veronica/Mac. I find myself agreeing with all its ( Read more... )

Day 07 - Least favorite episode of your favorite TV show ( Read more... )

Day 06 - Favorite episode of your favorite TV show

How can I pick just one episode of Veronica Mars? I love them alllll (well, most of them. Certainly I can’t think of any that I would chuck out of season 1), and also everything in the show is so dependent on everything else that it’s hard to pluck just one episode out and say “This one. This is ( Read more... )

Day 04 - Your favorite show ever.

Veronica Mars, Veronica Mars. Maybe I should at least briefly consider other options, but no, it’s Veronica Mars all the way ( Read more... )

I stole this 30 Day TV Meme from laurelcrowned, because the questions looked like so much fun. First up: A show that should never have been canceled.

Which is a hard question! I was woeful when Pushing Daisies got canceled, but I think Fuller wrapped up all the plot threads nicely (even if it was a bit rushed), and the show had such a delicate tonal balance ( Read more... )

So I rewatched the Veronica Mars movie! I rarely rewatch things because I am easily bored, but this was totally worth it. I worried that it might not hang together on the second rewatch, but it does rather well, aside from one spoiler.

( Spoilers for the movie and all of V Mars, really )

I finally saw the Veronica Mars movie! Actually, I saw it a few weeks ago, but I finally calmed down enough about it to write something more coherent than “KEYBOARD SMASH PERFECT OMG <3 <3 <3 ( Read more... )

I find Duncan a lot more interesting on this rewatch of Veronica Mars. The first time the fact that the writers inexplicably shipped Duncan/Veronica completely soured me on his character - and I still think he’s completely wrong for Veronica - but as a character, he’s interesting and rather tragic.

I’ve read that Duncan was supposed to be the ( Read more... )
