Veronica Mars: The Finale
So long and thanks for all the memories, I guess, as Veronica Mars bows out after three seasons.
I enjoyed the two hour episode I felt that all of Veronica’s supporting chums got a chance to shine. Mac got some geek love with the super computer, Piz got to be Veronica’s current squeeze (and thankfully blameless over the providence of the sex tape), Weevil got to be cleared of fraud, Wallace stepped up to help Veronica with the mysterious secret society and Logan was Logan.
I thought that the busting of the campus cash fraud ring was beautiful. Did they really think that no one would pick up on “Sylvia Plath” and the rest of the fake names? But, I felt the secret society, The Castle, was labored and a clunky way of tying things back to tall, creepy guy with a beard. (I assume he was a nemesis of the Mars’ in an earlier season.)
The best bits were, as ever, the endless snappy dialogues, Ms Mars packing a tazzer and her relationship with her father. Keith once again proved himself to be father of the year by tampering with evidence (what father wouldn’t?) and subsquently throwing away the election. Wouldn’t a fourth season be peachy - just to tie up these loose ends?
