I like that the kid who sold his rims was the same kid whose rims Weevil threatened to steal.

And nice catch with the L/V dating disaster parallels.

I didn't catch that until someone on TWoP pointed it out. That's definitely way cool.

And nice catch with the L/V dating disaster parallels.

This episode was very subtley pro-Logan/Veronica.

I really like to think Mac was thinking, "Damn! Why did I have to go and get myself hooked up with the Beav? If only I'd known Veronica was interested..."

And ooh, explosives material! In Woody's garage. That Terrence uses. Which implicates either one of them, although Terrence is on Keith and Veronica's minds at the moment.

That's ludicrous! Mahoney would never blow up a bunch of kids. We already had a rich, white guy be the killer last year. My money is on the ballplayer...or Deputy Sacks...or Weevil's grandmother. I don't have a clue.

Hah! I'd love it if it turned out to be Deputy Sacks behind it all. Especially if he got away with it, twirling his mustache all the while.

I'm betting that Woody and Terrence are both just connected to the person that actually caused the bus crash, and neither one is the actual mastermind behind it all. Because they seem to be very dumb men.

Maybe it's Woody's scary wife!

That definitely sounds plausible. Before the season ends, I should stop by spectral's website and reread the summaries to refresh myself on the clues and theories behind the crimes.

I'm thinking it's Woody's wife, though it's kind of strange that we don't know anything about her at this point beyond what we saw in NPB... he is guilty in that he didn't do anything to stop it (that we know of) though he had advance knowledge of something happening, but exactly what?

I'm still not discounting Terrence. While he may not have called the phone, perhaps he called Curly on a public phone, which would've been a little more inconspicuous, especially by the logic Keith is going by (they're all assuming that Terrence would've been calling the phone directly, when there may have been a proxy).

Hee - see it used to be that Logan was responsible for all the evil in the world but now I see it more clearly, it was indeed the Fitzpatricks. Great line!

I'm kind of with Holly on this one. Again excellent use of background characters, Carmen, Cordy but Hannah is just so Godawful to watch acting wise that it's hard to pay attention to this doomed relationship. I did enjoy the parellels between the disastrous dating life of Logan and Veronica and the whole Rich Dude Krptonite speech is superb.

KC - soooooooooooooooooo horrible. Is it possible to be indifferent and yet truly dislike a character all at the same time. The MOTW reveal was so anticlimatic that I was all okay then, is that it?

With that said - it was still terrific to have a new Veronica Mars to look forward to all day and enjoy.

As usual love your recap. Just wanted to let you know that you list Ryan as the one who faked his mugging to get new rims for his car, when it was actually Kelly, the baseball player, who faked the mugging. Not trying to be mean and correct you, just figured you would want to know.

spectralbovine March 16 2006, 17:07:54 UTC

...no I don't.

The funny thing is that I pegged Kelly as the mugger because he was using the oldest trick in the book: throw suspicion off yourself by making yourself a victim.

I pegged him, but I was wrong.

And yet, I didn't notice that Kylie used that same trick.

She threw suspicion off herself as the blackmailer.

Although I did suspect Ryan, even though I really didn't think he'd do something like that.

And I suspected Ryan of being the blackmailer.

carpedi7 March 16 2006, 17:54:49 UTC

Ryan faked the mugging in order to get money from his rims (I missed some of the dialogue explaining this part, so I don't know whether it was insurance or replacement rims for him to sell). And that about covers it, I think. This is what I was talking about. Up towards the top.

Ooh. I suck. Thanks.
