Veronica Mars (and a little GG)

[jetpack_monkey]

I caught the (I assume) rerun of Gilmore Girls last night. Oy, how I miss watching this show. Lauren Graham can call me any day of the week. Adorable adorable adorable.

Now, onto Veronica Mars:

Interesting revelations this week (or pseudo-revelations, because there's always more questions than answers), but I fear that the mystery-of-the-week was, well, weak. For one thing, the whole undercover at another school angle could have been played for so much more. Secondly, the perp, as it were, was somebody we had barely even seen. It reminds me of an Encyclopedia Brown case I once read where we didn't even meet the guilty party until the "read the answer to the mystery" section, which kind of missed the point of guessing whodunnit.

I'm liking Veronica feeling all kinds of confused about Duncan's new girl, and I do so love how they manage to get in a little more about the Lilly Kane murder every week, but let us not forget the importance of the mystery-of-the-week! It's part of the reason I like the show. Mini-mysteries with resolutions so I'm not screaming at my television for a little relief.

Anyway. I think it's cool that Wallace is gettin' in with the popular crowd. Could be useful. I also loved that Veronica was the one making the spirit baskets. That's just too cute.

I loved the Veronica-Wallace friendship stuff in this episode, and I have to say it's about time. For the past few eps, he's just been someone she hits up for favors on occasion, and I wouldn't have blamed Wallace if he was starting to feel used. But this one did a great job of showing us that yes, they are friends, and there is more to their relationship than just "Do this for me and don't ask questions." (Though there's a good deal of that, too).

But yeah, I agree that the parrot plot was only so-so. I liked the Archie references, though.

Yeah, I do wonder on occasion why Wallace puts up with Veronica. I mean, other than the fact that she's too cute to resist. Oh. Maybe that's all that's necessary.

Lauren Graham totally kicked ass on Celebrity Poker Showdown last year by using the lethal means of adorableness and aggression. She had all the other players wrapped around her finger!

Now that I've actually seen it (all blessings to the power of BitTorrent), I totally agree on the Wallace and Veronica friendship. It's great to see just why the two of them still hang out with each other, especially with Wallace's rising status thanks to the Basketball team.

And they totally got me with the number 13 gag. *head-desk*
