Movie Reviews of Veronica Mars - The Complete Third Season
Movie Review: Goodbye my beloved show...
Summary: 5 Stars
Veronica Mars. Short. Blonde. Petite. Sassy. Detective? A young incapable looking girl is a tough, action figure private detective in a town full of sin.
In the show's third season it adopted a new format. Instead of the season long mystery it had three mysteries that played out one after the other along with each episodes 'mini-mystery'.
The season starts out with Logan and Veronica finally together, letting the audience see what they really are like as a couple. Giving a good majority of the fans (self proclaimed LoVe shippers) exactly what they wanted: their favorite diminutive detective together with their favorite abused bad boy. The relationship, as always, is rocky and doesn't last. Logan is depicted as the ever accomadating boyfriend, only wanting to please his oblivious girlfriend. Veronica starts off in the good girlfriend role, attentive to a point and loving to a point, but eventually succumbs to her fear of commitment (something that seems to only happen when she's with Logan) and her inability to fully trust him (even though he saved her life and risked his own only a few short months earlier on the roof of the hotel he calls home). The relationship ends but is briefly revisited before Veronica learns that Logan has slept with her arch-nemesis: Madison Sinclair. She ends it this time and adds that she'll never forgive him.
The first mystery is the 'Hearst Rapist' story arch, which was introduced in the second season with the reappearance of Troy Vandergraff (the drug dealer Veronica briefly dated in season one). The Rapist terrorizes campus, and Mac's roommate (and Veronica's new friend) falls victim to him. The rapists' attack on the women of campus remind Veronica of her own rape and spurs her into action, along with getting vengeance for new friend Parker. The rapist goes after her and is basically the cause of Logan's breaking up with her (other than the fact that she completely pulls away). She catches the rapist and is nearly raped herself in the process. Sadly it turns out to be another associate of Logan's, making me wonder exactly why the writers want him surrounded by the dreges of humanity.
The second mystery is the murder of the dean, which is introduced in the same episode as the first mystery is concluded. During this mystery, Veronica loses her new mentor, her crimenology professor, when he is accused of the murder due to the fact that he was having an affair with the dean's wife. The reveal is shocking and comes after the framing of another character. Also, Veronica's father, Keith, is reinstated as temporary sheriff after Sheriff Lamb is killed in action.
The third mystery arch, well, there wasn't really a mystery that spanned the final episodes of the season/series. It was filled with mini-mysteries and romantic entanglements as Logan starts dating Parker and Veronica begins dating Wallace's roommate, Piz (yeah, that's the name they gave him).
It comes full circle in the last episode with Jake Kane and Clarence Weidman return. And you see huge oil painting portraits of both Lilly and Duncan Kane.
I loved this season as well as the first two and wish that it hadn't been cancelled. There was so much more they could have done with it. It reminded me of my previous favorite show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and surpassed it in it's three short seasons. Sadly the ratings weren't there, most likely because it was pitted against American Idol for most of its run. Some argue that the monstrosity that they aired during VM's hiatus, The Pussy Cat Dolls, did better in the ratings in the time slot, but that also coincided with the American Idol hiatus too. Sadly it was not enough to save a show that many people loved.
There is, however, talk of a Veronica Mars Movie.
Movie Review: Everybody should watch this series
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want to watch a well written series with a fantasic cast - look no further. This show will have you hooked. And unlike some other shows, you do find out who the bad guys are, although there are a lot of red herrings.
The dvds are in great condition. Were delivered quickly. I am very excited to be adding this fabulous tv series to my collection. Thanks for the great service.
Movie Review: Absolutely Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
They could revive the magic of the first season with proud, elevating the level of the dialogs. The drama's are more mature. The investigation, more realistic. The acting, superb. When you can make these items be together in such a nice way, there's a fantastic story. Too bad that it got cancelled, but I'm proud to be able to have these pieces of art, which surely cannot be replaced.Movie Review: IT'S ONLY ME, BUT:

SUPER SLEUTH TEENAGE PI AT IT AGAIN. DON'T KNOW HOW SHE CAN FUNCTION WITH ALL HER LOVE LIFE CATASTROPHIES. JMMovie Review: Veronica Mars
Summary: 4 Stars
I thoroughly enjoyed Veronica Mars for its flawed heroine and story threads. Veronica was capably played by Kristen Bell, sarcastic, witty and judgmental, I cheered and commiserated with all the characters and was disappointed that the end was so up in the air. Why is it always the intelligent shows that get canned? Perhaps the 'powers that be' are asking the wrong people what they watch.
