VERONICA MARS - The Quick and the Wed

Cliff: Well, if it helps you decide on your wardrobe...I'll be wearing an 'I'm With Stupid' t-shirt.

That was tough...So many great quotes this week! I have to say...This week was Veronica Mars at its best, highlighting, at least for me, the disappointment of last week. It's alright though, let's not dwell...back to how much I laughed my ass off last night.

B plot - fantastic. One of the best of the season. I was turned off by the initial description of the 'runaway bride' scenario, but it was so well done and the twist at the end got me. Virginia Williams was awesome as Heidi...she was cracking me up at the end at the altar and with her rendition of "I Want You To Want Me". Vinnie Van Lowe is, as always, the perfect 'love to hate him' character...witty banter ensues. Something else worth pointing out I think, is that for the first time since I can remember Veronica makes a significant amount of "doofus" mistakes that a teenage apprentice P.I. might, and is called on it by the bride, which I thought was a tad bit out of character, but I appreciated the realism nonetheless. And did anyone see V's shirt when she was talking to the friends of the bride-to-be? Hilarious! Ultimately, Veronica does help out Jane, in the "sock it to 'em" kind of way, which turns out to be even better than she'd hoped, so its all good. Life in Neptune is sweet again.

My love for Jason Dohring will never cease...ever. At first I thought it was just a Logan/Veronica thing, but this Hannah deal proves otherwise, because with Veronica, with Hannah...I don't care. It's all about JD. Alright...we've presumably come to the predicament that ultimately had to happen. Guy needs leverage with sleazy doctor, guy messes with doctor's cute daughter, guy gets leverage and doctor agrees to back off, oh wait, guy already fell for daughter. Crap. I want to be mad at Logan for what he's doing to Hannah, but eh...I can't. The kid is so needy and he's got no friends, and then he listens to this sweet girl tell her mom that she's sure he's a good guy. Which he is...deep deep deep deep down. Every one just messes with him all the time. I'd be a jackass too. But what does he do now? Break it off or go to jail? Enter Veronica... He's gonna screw her over in the end right? I mean he's Logan. Yeah...

Ok...bus crash. Way to put the pieces together five minutes too late Keith. I know you aren't supposed to keep evidence from the police, but we're talking about Lamb here. You know he's not going to do anything within reason. You gotta take matters into your own hands! Use a brain cell. Think before you act. (By the way, the quote that came in second for the top was, "Keith: Lamb, I've been trying to get a hold of you. Lamb: And I've been dodging your calls...man that felt good to get off my chest.") So finally he realizes how unreasonable it is to think that Terrance would leave that damning evidence out for anyone to find, and how many people have probably looked in that cabinet since September besides Detail Mike. Here's a random thought/hunch/idea from me that may turn out to be nothing, but I see two possibilities. Assuming Detail Mike is telling the truth, and I'm assuming he is because I don't think Terrance did it, someone planted those explosives there to implicate either Terrance/Woody or both or one set up the other. I'm still not completely convinced it wasn't that last one. BUT...up to this point we're a little fuzzy as to who drives Terrance's cars or who has access to the hanger other than Jackie, Terrance, Detail Mike, and I'm assuming (again) Woody. So...if someone planted them for someone to find, they would need to know who was going to be in there. The person we know who's in there regularly is Detail Mike, and he was supposed to come the next day. Keith points out that if V hadn't found them, he would have. BUT...was Veronica supposed to find them?? If so, the person responsible for putting her there was Jackie. Hmmmmm.......she's not too fond of dad. And Terrance getting shot? Again...now he's graduated to a giant sandwich board that reads RED HERRING. I'm betting he was trying to find something to prove his innocence.
Anyway, enough speculating...great show, although, like last week, it raised more questions than it answered. Shout out to Michael Ausiello, my favorite TV columnist...he was the underwearless guy in the orange shirt at the beginning!
