#veronica mars season 3

Agree or disagree: fighting his ex-girlfriends new boyfriend because he might of filmed a sex tape of her clearly means he still loves her but has horrific decision making skills?

One of the funniest "Hilarious in Hindsight" things for me is with the show Veronica Mars

If you've never watched it's an early 2000s (with a movie in 2014 and one season revival in 2019) noir-aesthetic SoCal mystery series that aired on UPN with a final season on CW. Part of the deal with the CW acquisition (the series was NOT doing well ratings wise) was to simplify the format.

So the first two seasons had one long mystery with season 2's bus crash being particularly convoluted. This is kind of hilarious in the binge era but they felt this made it hard to market the show so it kind of got a soft reboot with the cast in college.

They whittled it down to dividing the season into 3 parts, with the first two following shorter self-contained mysteries and the last handful of episodes having nothing. It was a detective show with no detecting outside of standalone case of the week stuff.

So with no arc (outside of Veronica's father Keith running for the town's Sherriff which wasn't that engaging) they needed some more hooks per the episodes. And they actually did what the kids would have called a Very Special Episode where they got involved with a charity and all!

They even ended the episode-I Know What You'll Do Next Summer-with a bumper for a charity that was involved with the episode's production which was about Ugandan child soldiers.

The charity in question? Invisible Children

They would five years after this episode's airing go on to gain infamy with what was known as their Get Kony 2012 campaign. Yes this is THAT charity

And if you don't know Kony 2012-and therefore why them popping up in a random VM episode years prior is so funny to me-that, my friends, is a story for another time....(or just Google it I'm probably not gonna do another post about this campaign and it's heavily documented)

love how when my family was watching the vmars pilot and veronica's like "that's duncan. he used to be my boyfriend but not anymore" and it cuts to a shot of logan sitting on duncan's lap at the lunch table and we were all like oh i get it. it's because that's his new boyfriend

#spoiler alert: it is not #i mean im on season 3 if he was mlm it'd probably be revealed way before now LMAO. he is not even here #unnamed friend.txt #veronica mars

bring back season three of euphoria as a graphic novel + accompanying soundtrack by labrinth feat. zendaya (w/ dominic fike?).

give fexi the happy ending they deserve (rip angus cloud). retcon ashtray's death because 😢. or maybe don't. idk.

get rid of nate jacobs because 🤮. send cal to jail. mention the other brother and make it NBD (idk away at college somewhere?).

maybe cassie stops chasing terrible boys and turns to drugs or alcohol like her parents. maybe she struggles to get herself together.

retcon kat's awful ending. have her tell ethan that she freaked out about him getting close to her and she didn't mean to break up with him and she really doesn't have a terminal brain disorder because WTF SAM LEVINSON. give her a storyline that doesn't revolve around her weight.

i'm not a writer so idk, but anything is better than waiting around for another year+ for sam levinson to pull something out of his ass when the best he could come up with so far was a knock off of veronica mars.

i’d like to thank whoever on the veronica mars team realized that logan’s hair needed to be dyed before he and veronica got together. they knew what we all know to be true. that veronica would simply never kiss a man with frosted tips.

#i’d also like to thank whoever reviewed the first half of season 3 #and put the kibosh on the weird curls and the flippy bangs and the ed hardy-core wardrobe #her hair and wardrobe seriously improve so much in just a couple episodes #veronica mars #julia.txt

i need to rewatch veronica mars again. i miss her. i wish there were more shows like that. the show’s depiction of women was far from perfect but the writing for veronica mars and lilly kane was genuinely great and they remain some of the best written female characters ive seen. honestly the depiction of lilly kane is genuinely one of the most impressive things about this show the way they portrayed her as a fairly realistic self-centred teenager who did dumb things but still had empathy for her and the narrative never once judged her or blamed her for her murder. 

#veronica mars #veronica too was such a great character #like she was tough and smart and was allowed to be angry and grieve for lilly and the way her life used to be #and was just nosy teenage girl poking her nose where she wasnt supposed to and pissing off authority figures #plus after seeing the way woman who have stood up against abuse this past year have been treated #lilly's character and the way she was treated with such sympathy and care feels like such a relief #like the writing for the show wasnt perfect and the mysteries weren't always do or die #and sometimes could have been written better #and season 3 was just 😬 at times #she definitely reminds me of nancy drew despite the totally different genres and tone of the story #but like nancy drew the mysterys were pretty fun and they both had dads who were private investigators #and there was variation in each mystery #i fully blame nancy drew for my love of mysteries and girl detectives and general nosiness

often part of my hate for a character is fueled by the reaction they awaken in the audience, and/or the perception that the writers REALLY want me to love them and think they're the best, most heroic guys ever.

other times the way a character is written is clearly meant to embody literally everything I hate, with purpose, and boy. I won't think about them while I'm not watching/reading the source material, or remember them when I make my "top most hated" lists... but once they enter my view again or get name-dropped, the homicidal rage is back on in full force!

this post has been brought to you by a conversation about veronica mars with a friend that reminded me of just how much I wanted sheriff (don) lamb to die (and he did! because sometimes, tv-land is generous like that). but I also appreciated that he was written specifically in this way, with no pulled punches. because if they'd softened him even a little? it wouldn't be the wonderfully cynic little show that it excels at being.

like, in particular, I'm remembering the moment weevil BEGGED him to let him walk up the stage at his graduation, so that his ailing grandmother could finally see him do it, before he arrested him. it would have taken less than half a minute. and lamb refused because he's a vindictive, callous little man. and because veronica mars is not about giving its audience warm fuzzy feelings by trying to convince us that people are good and understanding and really really caring, deep down! they're selfish and mean and petty; real goodness and kindness is rarer than gold and will take you (and veronica herself) aback every time you encounter it. but most of the time? it wants you to see just how shitty and unfair the world is and react to it, with nothing cushy to soften the fall. and it's a better story for it, imo.

#just thinking about the show #not perfect by any means and it definitely lost in quality after each season* and wrote some really ??? shit (season 3...) #but i loved THIS about it so much lol #(((*just so we're all clear: i love season 4/the revival. this is a no revival slander space xDD))) #talking to the void #my thoughts #vmars thoughts #veronica mars #eli navarro #weevil navarro #don lamb

I love Veronica Mars but they did not know how to write a love triangle at all. I didn’t realize that’s what they were even trying to do until I read about more about the show and interviews. Like it’s Logan. Even when she’s with Duncan or Piz it’s gonna be Logan. Because they did nothing with the Duncan or Piz characters. They’re barely characters to begin with. They are boring white bread nice guys with no issues or interests except they like Veronica. No chemistry. No nothing. At least Duncan had a real purpose and storyline and being best friends with Logan and dating Veronica first added some drama. Piz was just there and he liked her and she didn’t care and then she broke up with Logan and she kinda cared? Idk just a rant. Rob Thomas should have focused on other aspects because the love triangles were a fail and a waste of time.

#watching Veronica Mars for the first time #have only seen the first 3 seasons so far #but I hate how much time they waste on piz #wtf kinda nickname is piz #veronica mars #Veronica Mars spoilers #I won’t lie I just want my ship to be happy #and the show waste so much time making them not happy for no reason #logan x veronica #LoVe #how cute is that ship name btw #long rant no one cares about

[dingus0401]

Im trying to settle a debate with a friend, and what better way to do that than with a poll on tumblr :)

#who would win in a fight #they’re both great at fighting but I think Logan could honestly destroy Ryan with his built up anger issues #the oc #ryan atwood #veronica mars #logan echolls #vm #oc #it also kinda depends on the time #like maybe ryan could win if it was the season 1 versions of the characters #but season 3 logan would beat a season 4 ryan I think

The thing about Good Omens season 2 that throws me off, more than casting the same actresses as different characters than season 1, more than the Nazi zombies, more than Aziraphale getting on board with graverobbing, more than feeling like Jon Hamm is playing a mashup of Good Place Janet and Michael, is the Maggie/Nina plotline.

It's the crux of the plot (or A crux) but they are both rude and annoying people. Maggie is openly judgy of Nina for having a little wine when they are trapped in the coffee shop. Nina is incredibly rude to ask Maggie WHY she doesn't drink (that is no one's business ever!) and also so scornful of Maggie's family business. Maggie openly (and badly) pursues a woman in a committed relationship while insisting that she's not doing that at all.

I like both actresses but I dislike the characters intensely. It's especially frustrating in a show that centers around a queer gay-male-presenting romance that the lesbian romance be so asinine.

#the casting decision is Veronica Mars season 3 level nonsense #good omens season 2 #complaints

logan echolls the original i support womens wrongs guy. i love him

#logan echolls #veronica mars #im never gonna shut up about him #hes my babygirl and i love him #im on season 3 theyre like TOGETHER together finally and im losing my mind

[soupwife]

soup what are your veronica mars opinions?! i need to knowwww (i haven’t met anyone else that likes VM in sooo long)

OH MY GOD yes so many. First of all I love the show, it will always hold a special place in my heart. I still remember watching the pilot the day it aired!

My biggest gripe with VM is the overuse of sexual violence as a plot device, and I'm not sure the writers were well equipped enough to handle it very well. Like having the identity of Veronica's rapist be a "twist" at the end of season 2 after she had already reached some sort of closure about the whole thing in S1 was just mean and gross.

Then to have sexual violence be a main theme of the first part of season 3 as well... Even in high school with my limited media literacy and bad taste (I watched glee willingly at the time) I was like... come on guys. What is happening in the writers room! Is there no other high stakes plot you can come up with?!

The best part of the show was and always will be the friendship between Veronica and Wallace. Number one friends of all time, even when one or both of them are being dicks.

What are your opinions!!

#veronica mars #additional opinions include: season 4 was actually OK! not the best #but cleared the extremely low bar of being better than season 3 lol #ask
