I loved that Veronica's "perfect murder paper" was the murder of Lamb!

I LOVED the end of the episode with Logan and his baseball bat. The Obligatory Psychotic Jackass has returned!

I was really satisfied with the resolution of the rape mystery and I really enjoyed the fact that Parker was the one to save Veronica in the end.

And I have one more thing to say: MAC!!!!


GREAT episode!

Love Love Love Love Love!!!

I've watched this episode twice so far and I've cried both times. THIS is the Veronica Mars I have been missing!

~*~SPOILER ALERT~*~

* Totally guessed Moe and that there were 2 people, but I had discounted Mercer as too obvious. Although Couch Baron was making me change my mind after the recap that went up today...
* Pegged Dean O'Dell as the victim as soon as the episode started. I'll miss the guy--I've always loved Ed Begley, Jr. in the Christopher Guest movies.
* It broke my heart to see Logan and Veronica break up, but I loved how they did it. Logan's reasons were perfect and I LOVED the shot of Veronica breaking down in the shower. She hasn't showed emotion like that in a very long time.
* That said, V better not hook up with Piz any time soon.
* I miss Mac and Weevil. The show just isn't the same without them!
* The ending with Logan was perfection. I pity Mercer...he is about to get the beating of his life.

GAH! I just loved it!!! How long until the second block starts? *sigh*

I am so glad that everyone else loved it as much as I did.

I agree with what everyone has been saying. I wish I had a DVR so I could watch it again!

The best episode of the season!

This is classic VERONICA MARS at its best. With a season that has been lackluster at best, this episode put our favorite Marshmallow back on track.

SPOILERS:

Mercer being the rapist at first was obvious then he fell off the radar and smacked us all in the head with his guilt

Tim flipping out at Brooke with being with Dick- classic. I love how they have created a foil in Tim to Veronica.

Piz, his dork dance was fantastic. Is love in the air for him and Veronica, I'd like to see it happen maybe, but not yet.

Parker saving Veronica was perfect. It was a classy touch.

The scenes where Veronica was drugged were amazing. The camera work was fantastic. Very eerie.

MAC is BACK. Period. the end.

Dean dying, saw it coming, but I thought he shot the Professor and his wife- Did he?

Logan breaking up with Veronica. Sad, but had to happen. I mean really who finds their true love in high school, and don't say Macualy Caulkin.--- {GET OVER IT reference}

Logan smashing the car to go to jail to kick Mercer's ass was amazing. You can take the boy out of Neptune High, but you can't take Neptune High out of the boy.

Overall, an amazing episode. Let's hope this episode has set up for the return of it in Janurary.

VERONICA MARS returns in JANURARY.

Kitzy -- I LOVE "An Echolls Family Christmas." Classic...and when I first fell for Logan. "Annoy, tiny blonde one -- annoy like the wind!"

sweetest--that's just about my favorite Logan line of all time! Plus I love how Veronica sums him up during the big reveal. "Looks like an evil-doer, smells like an evil-doer, but surprisingly...not so much."

Clumsy--maybe we should change the thread title? Seeing as we're already done with the first mystery and all

Okay, I have to ask- what the heck is OPJ?

OPJ= Obligatory Psychotic Jackass

It was Veronica's description of Logan in the second season.

Darn it!

I meant pilot.

Did you hear?! Veronica Mars got 3.5 million viewers last night!! Source: http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?id=20061129cw01#Scene_1

I know that the CW only ordered 20, not the usual 22 episodes, but if the show keeps averaging this many viewers perhaps it might get a fourth season!

I love the big mysteries when they're done well, and they have been in 2 of 3 attempts. But RT does have one good point- there's only so many times you can slaughter someone Veronica cares about. Maybe they can compromise on "biggish" mysteries? 2-3 episodes long, not too complicated but still fun?

Obviously, we're never going to have a Season 1 again. Veronica Mars started out as a YA novel, and S1 was, broadly, the plot. All the main characters tied into the mystery, which also cut right into the main character's deepest concerns. But even if we can't repeat those circumstances, I'd hate to lose big arcs altogether, because without them we lose the ability to have episodes that pack a punch like "Spit and Eggs".

What Veronica Mars has that CSI doesn't is depth to it's characters and very strong acting choices. Plus, the dialogue is always very witty.

If VM does go more of the procedural route, I see it becoming more like House than CSI. I still hope that DOESN'T happen, because it makes the insertion of arcs all the more absurd. Some of the worst House episodes for me have been the Vogler arc, the Stacy arc, and the current Tritter arc. It's not that I don't get tired of House always almost killing the patient just to miraculously save them in the last 10 mintes--I do. It's just that the writers are so used to that sort of a focus that trying to tie the episodes together usually doesn't work very well. What sets House apart from all the other procedurals is that it has truly interesting characters that are actually on a progressive arc. Season 1 Cameron is VERY different from season 2 Cameron (thank God).

I'm not concerned about that with VM. Even in the first season, there were episodes that focused much more on the MotW than on Lilly's murder. If they keep up this style, it runs the risk of turning into Buffy--you can only save the world so many times before it stops being this big, special thing.

I don't care either way. I'll watch this show until its cancellation--which is hopefully years down the line.
