Some random thoughts about Veronica Mars finale and a Moonlight note

[ginger001]

I still have some episodes of Veronica Mars season 3 un-watched, but I can't help it since I know what is coming after Veronica resolved the r*pe case. I've seen things here and there, like Parker's birthday party, when Logan find Veronica and Piz making out... and most of the last three episodes.

I really like the Veronica/Logan tiny moments in those three episodes. I adore Logan's love loyalty for Veronica. How he goes straight to Piz and beats the hell out of him because it was Veronica's honor we were talking about!

I think I haven't commented what I think about the end of the series. I didn't want to watch it because a lot of people were disappointed. I am disappointed that they cancelled the series, and although there could have been a better end for the series, that meaning an obvious Veronica and Logan getting together again (and a passionate kiss or similar would have been fantastic), it wasn't terribly bad.

I mean I'm pretty sure it is not just in my head that Veronica looked at Logan in a different way, smiled like she just remembered all she loved about him, and when Logan apologized to Piz, 'for everything' I read/heard: 'I'm sorry I hit you and I'm sorry I'm going to get Veronica back because we're meant for each other'. And the look in Piz's face says he knows it. In that moment he knows he has no chance with Veronica. It's always been Logan, although she tried, and for that I'm kind of content with the end, although it's not perfect or totally close (as Roswell was).

Besides, in that last fight I just confirmed what I've been thinking since I started watching Veronica Mars, and that is that Jason Dohring is really good at feigning fights. The way he moves and everything makes totally believable. I remember thinking that he'd been great in 'The Fight Club' if that movie was filmed now (then he was too young, maybe). And that also remind me that I thought he would be great in a show/movie where he played a tough guy like Logan. Definitely he's not a pants with suspenders kind of guy.


Oh, and in another Jason Dohring related note, somebody posted at moonlight_tv spoilers from episode 10, that is Josef centric. Yippee! Although I'm not sure I should be happy since it can be the possibility of limited Josef's presence in the series and that is a 'no, no, no'! So I have mixed feelings: I'm happy there is a Josef episode, but I really hope is a good one.

I've now seen the first four episodes of season 2 and a few from season 3. I only started watching a bit in season 3 because there was nothing else on at that time and I was really unimpressed with the writing and storylines even though I had nothing invested in a Logan/Veronica ship. But I ended up watching season 1 and enjoying it, so I am slogging through the rest.

I am not sure if I will ever watch all of season 3 because, as I said above, the whole storyline irritated me ( I got rather annoyed at the evil feminist plotline! :)). And I think it would irritate me even if Logan and Veronica got together. Which they don't... Hmm. I will have to think more about it if I am swept away by the rest of season 2.

I must confess that what got me through season 3 (what I've seen of it) it's because the Veronica/Logan thing (or to be totally honest, just Logan). Even if they're not together I can't help but watching waiting for the Logan scenes or some interaction between them.

Season 3 isn't as good as the two previous season were but I don't know if I feel so incredibly upset as other people are about it. I'd say that even with the bad treatment given to the r*pe case, including the evil feminists angle (I agree with you it was bad) the first 10 episodes of season 3 aren't that bad, mainly because there is a mystery that link them together. I think one of the flaws of season 3 (apart from the characterization of Veronica and Logan, especially Veronica) is that the mystery to solve this time wasn't interesting or good enough to keep it unsolved until the end of the season. They had to create a second one and that to me was a mistake. Why do you change something (a mystery arc for the whole season) that you it works? No idea but the proof is that the series got cancelled.

In fact, I still think is unfair that they cancelled the series just because season 3. There are plenty of tv shows out there that should have been cancelled ages ago and they're still airing (I'm not naming any of them just in case people reading this are fans of them ;) )

I also think that well season 3 was really a change because they left Neptune High and started college and that was a season of changes and new adjustments... I'd definitely would have given it a chance, but well, it's done (although I keep the secret hope they make a movie as they're doing with Sex and the City *blushed embarrased*)

I keep myself happy watching my favorite moments from every season, including the finale, just for the Logan fighting thing and the look Veronica gives him.
