My Veronica Mars Season 3 Premiere Review

How about you try not to piss anyone off this time around.

Oh, but what would Veronica Mars be without people pissed off at Veronica? And this season started wonderfully with Veronica solving a fake crime for a class. The pissed off person in question is the Teaching Assistant, Tim, who thinks a little much of himself (although I'm pretty sure he needs to rethink shaving). I wanted to kick his butt when he started talking about Elementary Education, so it was very gratifying when she said, "I know who did it" with a dismissive glance. The professor was a cutie though and I like how he looked when Veronica asked about using the internet and when she said he helped her pick the blind guy. Pissed off 1, Friends 0

You a bounty hunter boy?

I think this is my favourite Veronica line. I loved the way she said it. I enjoyed the interaction between her and Logan in this scene. Pissed off 1, Friends 1

Wonder Twins power activate.

Vinnie Van Lowe's line to Keith. My favourite line not spoken by Veronica.
I have a continued appreciation for the Vinnie character.

Did you make any friends? Lord No!

My favourite Keith and Veronica scene (or was it the only one? C'mon! More Keith and Veronica scenes!). Keith is after a bounty and Backup is in charge, set to maul Logan if he stays after midnight. I think Backup would do it to. But what about the bitch he's been seeing?

Qu'est ce que c'est? Frak?
Battlestar strikes again. And for you people who don't watch Gilmore Girls, Luke's brother in law brought up BSG at the dinner table. BSG is so in there!

Wallace meets his roommate, Piz, who loses all his worldly possessions in a heinous scheme that only Veronica can solve. Piz wants to go to the police, until he meets Veronica. Veronica gets information from the sheriff's office about other suspects, questions them and is lead by a clue on Piz's car to a concert. With Mac and her "boy-nip" roommate, Parker, they head to a concert. (favourite Mac line? If college was a boy buffet, she has two plates full and boys wrapped in napkins in her purse) Three young boys go up after the show when Veronica asks for witnesses. Their story is that a blonde who seemed fat, but had a slammin' bod and two black guys stole their stuff. A guy who has Piz's Holy Grail Guitar also says he bought it from a blonde with a smokin' bod. Well, it turns out the guy with the guitar, who was part of the criminology department and was a mentor to young delinquents, had used his young delinquents to help rob freshmen of their possessions. Bad mentor! Yes, Veronica found you. Friends 3, Enemies 5


I'll be sure to call unexpectedly again.

I love Keith. Keith, on the other hand, is getting a convict, Cormac, to Kendall. And who saw that ending coming? After Keith gets him there, and he and Kendall seem cozy, Keith goes out to get some papers and discovers Vinnie bugged his briefcase. He runs back to the house to warn that Liam might be near, and finds that Cormac has killed Kendall and is about to come after him. Here's hoping that Vinnie comes in at crunch time.

Well, frak! Give me your keys.

It's official. Veronica Mars loves Battlestar Galactica. She also walks in on Parker with a guy - is it the guy who ends up shaving her head?

Piz was so cute having his crush on Veronica.
And that poor excuse for hackey sack...
And of course, kudos to Kristen Bell for the look she has when Piz asks her if Logan was her boyfriend. I could (and have) replayed that look. It says so much in less than 5 seconds. And the ending is still chilling, even after so many views. Of course, we knew Veronica wouldn't really turn into the Nancy Drew of Hearst, working on small time crimes. She's back in the big girl leagues with the case of the head shaving rapist. And she will get 'em, don't you worry. She will get 'em. Great episode! I love this show.
