‘I Already Look Guilty!!’ SWEEPS DAY 20!! The Almost-Last New VERONICA Till April!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
Last week’s installment, with the smelly, narcissistic Logan Echolls charged with caring for the 11-year-old sister of Dick Casablancas’ new squeeze, was a five-star affair. Teleplay for that episode was credited to Rob Thomas’ fellow “Cupid” vet Joe Voci.
The CW says of tonight’s installment:
Without any evidence to hold her, Sheriff Lamb releases Veronica from jail. Josh (guest star Jonathan Chase), makes contact with Veronica and insists that he is being framed for his father's murder and, though Veronica has sympathy for him, she doesn't know if she believes him. Keith learns that the coach's wife, Kathleen Barry (guest star Tracey Needham), hired Vinnie Van Lowe (guest star Ken Marino, "Reno 911") to find out if her husband was having an affair. Meanwhile, Logan joins Mac and Parker on a Valentine's Day scavenger hunt. Percy Daggs, Francis Capra, Ryan Hansen and Chris Lowell also star.
We get one more “Veronica Mars” episode next week, which will wrap up the Dean O’Dell storyline, then the show disappears from the CW until mid-April to make room for a new reality show about the search for America’s next top Pussycat Doll.
9 p.m. Tuesday. The CW.

I will be very sad.
-
...taught me not to wear white tennis shoes with jeans ever again. Oh, and can't VM take some Buffy/Spike dark turn and have Veronica and Weevil do the nasty for a while? Enough of the pouty pretty boys, give Veronica some darker meat.
-
Hate Piz with a passion. Horrible character. Can his death be the next mystery? It'll take Veronica a while. I'm sure everyone has a reason to kill him.
-
Spoiler: Piz actually gets it on with Veronica sometime this season. Good god. (I hate him too.)
-
...that's barely been seen since the beginning of the season? Anything's better than the perennial on again/off again of Veronica & Logan. Let Piz get some sweet, sweet poontang, already.
-
They are seriously putting on a show about the search for the next "Pussycat Doll" over this show? What a country.
-
They're putting a program on about pussycat dolls instead of Veronica Mars? What kind of moron does that?
-
who watches Veronica Mars will be captured by the raw intrigue and ingenuity that is "The Search for the Next Pussycat Doll"... right? There will be blood. Torture. Screaming... and that's just in the office of the guy who bumped Veronica for this bullshit reality crapfest. Seriously though. He should just kill himself. He's obviously a waste of precious resources like food, and... responsibility for television programs. Get me his name! It's going on... THE LIST.
-
forward momentum with the O'Dell storyline. I know they "lost" an episode from their arc ,but very little has happened with it. I'm not necessarily complaining, they just have a lot to set up is all. And yeah, Piz and Veronica will piss me off, as it seems inevitable that it will happen, but it seems worth it for the prospect of it making Logan doing something awesome, but I'm sure he can't kill Piz or something. Maybe she'll get together with Piz, just to learn that he actually killed Cyrus...and blew up the bus...and killed Lily Kane...and raped her, again. I suppose all of that is more reason to break up with someone than sleeping with Madison. I hope that if they get together it doesn't show them having sex. She had such an attraction to Logan (see the bathroom making out scene) and it took her a long time to have sex with him; I'd hate to have her just immediately fuck Piz.
-
Is that it's just unbelievable that a woman like Veronica would go for him or his type. Sorry but that's the facts. It really does reek of a lame attempt by the writers, who are probably mostly male, to hook up the show's titular hot chick lead with a "nice, funny guy." I doubt many of the female audience care for Piz. Ultimately the lesson is: If you are a middle-aged male screenwriter, please do not hook up your cool hot female protagonist with a guy who's a surrogate for you. It's just kind of a sad.
-
The search for the next International Singing Prostitute?
-
i hope not, cause im a bloke.
i can wrap up this pussycat doll search in 3 minutes. go to your local lapdancing club and find a gal. simple. and hey! it worked to find the rest of the current pussycat dolls.

Hey Herc you should give your take on GG this season!
by carmillavondoom
I *know* you are still watching! How are they wrapping things up???
-
Won't be returning for a fourth season. Kristen Bell has signed on to do Xanadu on Bway, so I'm guessing the announcement will come soon.
-
Are you sure that CW has told them? She may just be working on it during the summer, like she's done in the past. If it IS ending, it better get a proper ending, as opposed to some just random standalone.
-
I keep forgetting that VM not only maintained GG's audience, but IMPROVED on its ratings from last year. They've done everything asked of them by the network, and have a longer lifespan than the majority of CW's programming, and there is little reason why it shoul be cancelled, when considering things like this. However, things continue to seem bleak for whatever reason. Losing Veronica Mars and Studio 60 at once would be too much of a blow for me.
-
Well she's going to be originating the role for Broadway, so I would ASSUME it's not just a summer gig. Jane Krakowski had to bow out after the previews because of her 30 Rock gig, so that makes one assume it would interfere with the TV season. I'll hold out hope until something is announced, but her siging on to Xanadu doesn't make me hopeful for a 4h VM season.
-
This Xanadu thing is just a backup in case VM is cancelled. She does have a 5 year contract, so maybe if VM does get renewed she can just bow out of Xanadu, and perhaps that's the reason there hasn't been any kind of press release about her joining the show.
-
I had the misfortune of seeing this movie It sucks. Really sucks. I am talking puke sucks. "Supertrain" was better than the movie. She won't be on Broadway long.
-
that the end of this season with no underlying story arc will make even diehard fans *want* it to end. I admit that this season started out slow, with the sucky new characters and the lack of old favorites (Jesus, Wallace and Mac have been in what, like 3 episodes all season?) but it's gotten better. Probably not quick enough to avoid the axe tho. Sad, really. If they just had faith in the audience and the writing staff... The fact that the life of the show was hanging by a thread definitely affected the nature of the beast. I mean, the whole point of VM was the idea of this big, epic case underneath all the day-to-day goings on. This season just seems to lack the gravitas of the previous endeavors. She has no personal stake in any of this stuff. It's just kinda odd jobs to pay the bills with. Some nice moments, but overall hasn't been the best. Logan returning to the self-hate-fest that defines his character is helping a bit. But I agree, the only way having Piz and VMars get together is if he dies in the season finale because of something Veronica is involved with, revenge for outing the Dean's killer maybe. Make her miserable again! She does her best work as "crazy Veronica". Sane Veronica can be pretty boring most of the time. *sigh* I miss those Lily Kane mind-fucks.
-
Is awesome, i was just rewatching the first season the other day and in the 3rd or 4th episode (one with paris hilton) she goes into the neptune grand with keith to ask for some CCTV footage they inform her they delete every 2weeks or summin! So, she asked them again recently for CCTV and they told her the same thing, yet she seemed suprised, i thought she was uber intelligent :p haha
O yeh i really love this show! -
If veronica mars gets good enough ratings with their "standalone ep" trials, it will be brought back next year as a shallow shell of it's former self. No overarching mystery = shit. I don't watch this show for the relationships. I don't give a fuck if Logan and Veronica end up together. I care about the huge mysteries they come up against.
Then, on the other hand, if these standalone episodes don't work out, the show is getting cancelled. That's called going out with a whimper. Veronica should be ending on a fucking bang, and instead it's just limping to the finish line.
I would have liked veronica to take on a huge mystery as her final one. Fuckin shame. -
It's not going to be like the movie. The reviews of the previews (with Krakowski) were amazing. It's supposed to be a great show. I hope she and the show are a success.
-
I hope so as well. So far it has been a great show.
-
Lamb...
-
"I smell bread." I didn't see Lamb's death coming AT ALL. Great back-to-back episodes, fantastic even, and hopefully a great one coming up. Please don't let this show get cancelled, go ahead with mostly stand-alones even, I take it all back.
-
Seriously, no fracking around.
-
LAMB! WTF! I LOVED HIM!
-
Herc is right. This is one of, if not the, best shows on TV.
-
Totally was not expecting that..although when i saw all that blood coming out of his head I briefly thought that he might die. And even though I'm really tired of the LoVe thing...wtf LOPARK? That's just nasty. Blech.
-
Better rolling-off-the-tongue-ish.
-
Stupendous episode, and time to put VM into play for a Best Drama Series Emmy nomination...in an ideal world, that is.
-
I apologize for being a moron. However, I LOVE THE BELL!!!
-
Thomas really hates his audience, doesn't he? He's just spoiling for cancellation. First he kills Lamb, then he turns Wallace into a jokey homophobe. Way to go, RT -- you'll get your wish and be divested of the show which obviously now bores you to tears. Wow, I haven't seen a showrunner torpedo a show so thoroughly since the glory days of Marti Noxon on BtVS. RIP, VM -- you had a *perfect* first season.
-
It cannot be denied. As for the Dean's killer, I'm still guessing that its his troubled son.
-
Pretty good wig if she can swim in it no problem.
-
The conclusion to the dead coach was satisfying, and in spite of how I'd hate to see Veronica and Piz together, not only did I not mind seeing Parker and Logan together, I actually ENJOYED seeing it. I'd be all for it. And yeah, Lamb dying, Jesus. A lesser show would have had him get out of it, and this is obviously going to lead to some shifts with Keith presumably taking over Sheriff. My vote also rests with the Dean's son being the killer. Thomas stated due to them losing one episode of their arc that there was one angle that they couldn't expand upon, and I'm assuming it had to do with one of the details revolving around the son. Landry is also too interesting to get rid of just yet.
-
maybe Parker's hair grew back.
Either way, fantastic ep. RIP lamb, though WTF was with your last words? -
but phenomenal episode, one of the best of this season, probably one of the top 5 (or 3) of the whole series. Story arcs, I hardly knew ye...
-
the weekly mysteries can be hit or miss, but the long arcs make it a better show. This was one of the best eps in a while. Everybody except Piz was accounted for (but why couldn't they have made him the hunt coordinator?), and both the micro and macro arcs worked well. Parker could have stripped down further for her swim, but that's a minor quibble. And Lamb's death was a surprise--shocking, but still plausible and not too contrived like some of the more famous sweeps deaths.
-
If one of Sherrif Mars' first orders of business is to stop the insurance fraud on the dead coach's part, I've lost all faith in the writers. How can he be sherrif while knowing that his daughter flagrantly violated the law by aiding and abetting a murder suspect, while tacitly endorsing insurance fraud? Regardless of the fact that the kid didn't do it, Mars' job is now to uphold the law.
-
Its a fuckin tv show..and I too believe its the son who did it to the Dean.
-
I've really enjoyed the Dean O'Dell arc so far (and honestly I didn't dislike the rape arc as much as others seem to), but I'm curious to see how the one-off episode structure will work for the last five episodes. It seems like the season finale will feel fairly anti-climactic after the past two years. I've got no problem with them experimenting with standalone episodes, but right now I feel like the large arcs were what made the show feel special.
-
whoa, didnt see that one coming. RIP dude. mark of great tv, no song and dance about an upcoming death, just make it happen.
would have liked to have seen an ep where lamb teams up with veronica.
richard fracking gricrco damm you! -
Think we'll be getting a Lost or Jericho talkback today?
-
Bell is hot. The writing doesnt insult my intelligence. Fuck american idol.
-
I rave on about Timothy Foyle being the killer, every week a *tiny* fragment of a clue points in that direction. This week; the bug on Landry's cell phone. If neither Veronica or Keith tapped it, he's the likely suspect.
On another note, hands down one of the greatest hours of TV I've ever seen this week. -
he works so much better when he's on the outside, stretching the law a bit. I have a feeling that this is a temporary appointment to cover while they elect a new one. And how funny was it that Logan knew his Kama Sutra?
-
When three weeks ago she was hesitant to even KISS him?
-
I didnt' have a problem with that. I figure it's just one of those cases of 'In for a Penny, in for a pound'. She was very hesitant because of the whole Cassidy thing, but once she got over that initial fear and was comfortable, I think it's reasonable. I'd have more of a problem with it if Cassidy had raped her or something, but Cassidy's only real attack on her was to take her clothes and leave her in the room. She was very lucky, but it's not like she made an overtly bad decision or anything that should make her question her own judgement. She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, with a kid who had virtually everybody fooled.
-
I agree with you, and I'm not saying what she did was out of character, I was just surprised to see it happen.
-
...after the Mars' that is. Shame to see him go. Hell, shame to see the whole show go. Veronica jumping around in that jail cell made me realize how much I want this show to stay, arc or no arc.
-
about being offed:http://tinyurl.com/347rdz
-
During the show I was thinking it would be great if Keith was sheriff again but that it would be ages before the next election. Guess they worked out the best way round that! Shame because Lamb was actually doing some work for once.
But still the point remains that Logan Echolls is the most attractive man ever and I want marry him - unfortunately he's a fictional character. -
Maybe it was Vinnie, not Foyle who bugged Landry's phone. It just came to me. Guess we'll see.
-
Come on, he didn't left the series. You had time to do something better, Rob. He deserved to be the third mystery.
A few interviews ago, he was arguing that any mystery would be as intense as Lily Kane's murder, because he won't kill any of the regulars every season. Well, Lamb was you opportunity, and you let it go ¬_¬
