Published by Jen Star on October 07, 2005 at 10:28 p.m.Well, there have been two episodes of Veronica Mars so far, and I have to say that I'm unsure how I feel yet. Everything seems a bit off; just a little awkward, like watching a concert on the JumbotronI can see their lips move, but hear the songs a half a second later.
I'm not sure how to take the developments over the summer. I'm glad that Veronica and Logan were together for a little while, and I'm glad his aggressive side came out when she ended things. It's a good sign when producers don't forget the negative aspects of a character after he or she becomes a fan favourite. I'm also glad that Veronica is with Duncan, and that Duncan still solves his problems by walking away. And that Wallace can't really act.
The major story arc is still bothering me. A bus? Really? Who cares? I was kinda hoping that Big Dick Casablancas was going to be offed, leaving his trophy wife Kendall and his two sons looking alternately grieved and guilty. I guess that's too close to the Lilly Kane murderbut at least it would have been more plausible than someone cutting the brakes to kill Veronica (or Duncan, or Dick, or whomever else may end up looking like the intended victim). I just can't feel the pain.
Oh well, I'll give it time.
Was this worth waiting for, Elena? I feel like I've rambled a lot, but said nothing. Ah well, I'm still recovering from the end of Snow and Ashes. Oh, wait! I get it now. The snow and ashes refer to the notice about Jamie and Claire's death that Brianna saw in the paper. Dang! That Gabaldon is a clever lass!
I'm listening to: Imogen Heap, I Megaphone. I love her voice. I love this album. Yummy!
I just got home from: A History of Violence. Hey, since when have we had 14A and 18A ratings? P.S. In case you're wondering, Maria Bello's cuffs don't match her collar.

I can't believe you saw A History of Violence and only remarked about Maria Bello! What about Viggo? Just how delicious is that sex scene? And just how naked is Viggo? Yum.
Now that I'm deep into A Breath of Snow and Ashes I understand completely why it took so long to get around to Veronica Mars. This book is so good. So very good.
Veronica Mars on the other hand is failing miserably to live up to its hype. I still hope it will pick up steam and improve - I had very high hopes for it this season. I wanted a more tightly woven storyline filled with subtle hints leading us to this year's mystery. Better cohesion and less story blunders - Shelly Pomroy and Celeste's mysterious flashback hair anyone? So far, this season is exactly what you said - awkward. I hate to say it, but I think the problem is Logan. What happened to Jason Dohring? Where is that great acting that pulled at the heartstrings last season? Was I blinded by his cuteness? Now I'm just made uncomfortable watching him writhe on top of Charisma. Did anyone else feel like they were watching child porn? Ewwk.
Still, it's only two episodes, plenty of time to improve. And if not, well there's always the DVD of Season One. Which I might add would make a fab Christmas gift...
Jason Dohring was just waiting, to pounce like a tiger in last night's episode. Snarky! I love it!
