[veronica mars] thoughts | "just remember me when you're good to go..."
SEASON ONE OF VERONICA MARS IS NOW OFFICIALLY ON MY "SEEN IT" LIST! I finished watching the final episode about fifteen minutes ago and have been trying to pull my thoughts together into something coherent so I can make a post while I'm still in the "honeymoon phase" and haven't begun to over-analyse everything yet!

The fact that I'm confused as to exactly what you're talking about aside; we only see Lilly in flashbacks. As for Veronica, I suspect they were too intent on making her look different to really worry about whether 'different' also looked 'older'. At least, that's my conclusion.
Hopefully that answers your question. If there was even a question in there in the first place!

Seeing Lilly and Veronica in the flashback caps there, particularly the one 3rd down on the right, I sort of think they look older than Veronica did in the general show "present tense" chronology, partly because the hairstyle she has I think reminds me of... like when they aged Mer and Cristina forward and had them talking about chicken surgery. And, in the cap at least (I don't remember, it might not be the same effect in the show as it's moving) combined with the sweater set it's somehow combining these two fairly innocuous factors and just giving me a really suburban-housewife feel and not a "we're freshman" feel, is that clearer? To me that makes her look older, not younger, is basically my point. :) Not a question. :)

Same here, except I don't ship her with Leo either, LOL See, this is where I'm REALLY not sure how to draw the line between Leo and Schmidt! Haha! I literally can't be objective about Leo because of all my Schmidt 'issues'. And I'm not saying AT ALL that I ship Veronica with Schmidt, just that I'm experiencing a little transference and can NOT be objective. In other words, take EVERYTHING I say about Leo with a grain of salt!!
IDK, I think it's also the responsibility of the person asking, to not demand all the time, because the, "Oh well he/she could always say no," line of thought can enter gray areas depending on the nature of the relationship. While I absolutely and definitely agree with this notion IN PRINCIPLE, I do think, in the context of the way it's presented in this show, it's not quite as black/ ( ... )

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm. INTRIGUED = ME!
Yeeeessss, but...not much, TBH. :( Well, initially I was worried she wouldn't be in ANY (that whole, "don't forget me" scene seemed kinda like a 'good-bye'), so I will take this! And savour the rare appearances :)

I can agree with that as well. I do really like Logan, but I thought Veronica and Duncan had that interesting surface-level-functionality/seething pit of dysfunction dynamic that I really like. And I was into her with Leo, too!
Give him sarcasm or humour, and it's all fine. Excellent even. Anything more serious, or heartfelt than that and it makes me cringe.ha, that was a big part of what worked for me about Logan? He's made himself so comfortable with the snark because he is so raw and unbalanced beneath it ( ... )

He's made himself so comfortable with the snark because he is so raw and unbalanced beneath it. Yeah, intellectually, I can understand how this is probably how I'm ~supposed to interpret Logan. But like I said, it just makes me cringe and then tune out! OOPS! I've seen that sort of characterisation done well before (see: Justin Chambers as Alex Karev on Grey's Anatomy), but Jason Dohring just makes me feel uncomfortable and/or like I want to laugh. Which is probably not his intention.
I don't remember getting the impression that Lilly knew about Aaron's abuse of Logan. I'm glad you've said this because I DEFINITELY never got that impression. At least, not from anything I've seen so far (whether it comes up in seasons two or three I obviously don't know, but it doesn't in season one, I am sure of it).
I mean, she probably got that ( ... )

This.
I'm glad you grew to like Veronica. I get the part about her supernatural abilities ahah, but I think it was cool to show her more closed off side so to speak. I love that a teenager, while it is the ~thing, really did start out that cynical and kind of did remain so. I think her mistrust opens a lot of doors for some legit weird relationship things ironically.
I'm glad you like her, period. :)

I love that a teenager, while it is the ~thing, really did start out that cynical and kind of did remain so. But I don't think she DID start out cynical. At least, not if we're meant to take the things we get in the flashbacks as 'the beginning' because I do (and maybe that's why we're thinking different things here, because maybe you don't?). I think Veronica, while not as idealistic and carefree as Lilly, was definitely still 'up there'. Circumstances changed her (understandably), but I personally don't think she started out like that.

But I will say, she didn't start out that way, but I think even her idealism had a sort of...reason for it.
Both Logan and Veronica have me mistrustful on this point, but yeah. We are supposed to see her transformation story, so she did change. But I think she had the roots of it in her, for reasons.

I have so much to do tonight but I really wanna go find a stream of the season two premiere!! Haha! I think I've officially been 'sucked in'. Actually, what I really want to do is go and read some fic, but I'm still too wary of spoilers so I'm going to refrain.
