In honour of one of the best television shows ever created, I was going to do a picspam of my favourite like, 20 moments of the series. Somewhere along this route, however, it changed to my top ten per season.
Now, these are moments that I consider BIG. It would be next to impossible for me to narrow down ten favourite little moments. Parker's perkiness, every word out of Paul Rudd's mouth, Piz's hand gestures, Logan's pina coloda mention, Veronica pretending to be that news anchor on the phone with Lamb.. just to name a few. Plus, those are harder to pin down with a simple screencap.
So. I give you my ten favourite moments from Veronica Mars, third season. In episode order.
damn the lack of DVDs for watermark-less caps.
Show dialogue.
My own lame thoughts.
[one] Veronica walks in on Parker's rape
This scene is so creepy once the episode is over. Love.
[two] Lilly's necklace
Veronica reaches out of the window, grabs the necklace the brat is wearing and rips it off. The girl gasps and puts her hands up to her throat. She examines it to confirm it is hers and without a glance at the brat, rolls up the window and drives away.
I love anything connected to Lilly, even though we never heard about this necklace before. heh. This scene was awesome, the way Veronica just silently tore it away.
[three] Vinnie to the rescue
VINNIE: Say "cheese"! Click! Got it and send. Hey, Keith Mars is gonna love this one, Liam! Think of his face when he opens up this e-mail.
Vinnie is awesome. His connection to the Fitzpatricks is awesome. The way he saves Veronica is awesome.
[four] Dance your pants off
PIZ DANCE! Okay, so it's not really a biiiig moment, but it's pretty much the best moment ever, so.
[five] Right here, right now
Spit and Eggs had the best opening scene all year. The MUSIC. The insanely creepy slow mo and chase and terror and yes.
[six] Misunderstanding
PIZ: I figure, you know, I mean, I know what I like. Why waste my time?
Scene of adorable and heartbreak. Crap happened afterwards, but this scene. Oh.
[seven] Before and After
So really, I'm saying the entire episode of Debasement Tapes is the best episode of the year. I needed to choose one moment for this, so I went with this. Because I love it. Like, a lot. VERONICA takes HIS hand.
[eight] Dick
We used to have contests to see which one of us could make him cry! I can barely live with myself sometimes, and it's so much easier when you're not around!
Amazing. When Dick started talking, I literally jumped up in shock. Brilliant. And that first bit quoted is just paaaainful.
[nine] omfgLilly
And again, I sat up in shock when we saw this. Lilly! I miss her so much. And the look on Veronica's face is just.. yeah.
[ten] The end
Yeah. Noir to the very end.
