This is her first viewing, we just finished Poughkeepsie tramp and thieves & I’m feeling torn on what I should do? 🤔 So I thought why not a poll?

And if so, how could Keith afford to own/rent two properties? He wasn’t one of the richer elites

I have no idea if this is planned. If anyone has heard any rumors I would be happy to hear about them.

But if a season 5 comes out one day, will you watch it?

Season 4 is worse than the original series and the last minutes are terrible but will you resist knowing what happens next?

Personally I will watch because it is VM but without any expectations or hopes of success. And probably only once. Not like the first three seasons which I watch very often.

…Don Lamb.

I'm doing yet another rewatch of the series and like every time I'm disappointed with the ending of this character.

Whether you hate him or love him (like me), Lamb is a perfect antagonist in this series in my opinion. His humor, his corruption, his stupidity (sometimes), his empathy (even less often) make him one of the most complete and realistic series characters I have seen.

His interactions with Keith and Veronica too: sarcasm mixed with a touch of subtle admiration make their relationships very pleasant to watch.

Besides, if the Sheriff's Department were competent, Keith and (especially) Veronica would not need to investigate. He is therefore one of the most important characters in the series, for me.

I can understand the writers' reasons for wanting to remove it. To allow us to see Keith be Sheriff but it's a bad decision. Because with a trustworthy and empathetic investigator like Keith who needs a detective? Except for the cheated spouses obviously.

And it’s an understatement to say that its ending is a disappointment. Certainly, it highlights his incompetence and his exaggerated confidence in himself (the lack of reinforcement, the shot in the mirror, the baseball bat, etc.).

But I still think he deserved a lot better. He was not killed by an important character and his death (far from epic) took place off camera. Finding out from a simple call to Keith… what a disappointment.

And what about his last words: “I smell bread”?? Really ? What is the point? Not being from the USA I may be missing a reference but…

I could also talk about this brother who appears in the film without anyone expecting it in the least... why want a family link between the two?

Small clarification, I'm watching the series again to read the books for the first time, so no spoilers on my future reading please.

I also take advantage of this post to ask for explanations on a line from Wallace at the beginning of the episode. When Lamb asks him if they've ever seen each other and Wallace refers to him as "friend of Dorothy"? Another English reference?

So I’ve been trying to figure this out. I saw somewhere that Aaron Ecchols is 6’1. Harry Hamlin is 5’11. What do these mugshot parameters mean??? 9, 0, 6, 3, all divided by thirds

I’ve used everything I could think of. I know Veronica Mars typically uses “lorem ipsum” Latin text to fill out news articles and such. At this point I’m thinking they just put random numbers there. I just want to get the reference though. Am I missing something or way overthinking it?

Curious how many people on here have read the books?

1st “Thousand Dollar Tan Line” narrated by KB

2nd “Mr. Kiss & Tell”

Did you enjoy them? What were your favorite parts? In comments just discuss whatever you feel relevant to discuss about the books.

I’m watching for the first time and love the show! Should I watch the movie after season 3 & then watch season 4? Please don’t give any spoilers.

Again (for the umpteenth time) in my Veronica Mars period. Do you know if the books have been translated? And where can I get them?

When do you recommend I read them in the timeline? Between the film and S4?

Did you like their music being used???

Rewatching season 4, and suddenly there is a Neptune PD instead of Balboa County Sheriff like season 1 through the movie. Are we to assume Neptune eventually incorporated at some point while Veronica was living in NYC?

Anyone else not thrilled with the way Piz and Veronica’s first kiss went down? It happens at the party Logan is throwing for Parker’s birthday. After Veronica walks up to Piz and pretends he’s her boyfriend to get away from some other guy, Wallace pulls her aside and tells her not to mess with Piz’s head because he has a major crush on her. Veronica (our super sleuth who notices everything and can practically read minds) is completely surprised and has no idea.

So she, not sharing those romantic feelings, asks Piz to step out on the balcony with her where she starts to tell him that she’s not interested in him like that. Only he cuts her off, grabs her face and kisses her, with absolutely zero indication from her that she consents or would welcome such a gesture. In fact, all indications are the opposite.

But then, somehow by the magic of his kiss, Veronica appears to realize that she’s in fact DOES like Piz in THAT way, and, once she overcomes her temporary shock, runs after him.

When she catches up to him, he doesn’t express any concern that he crossed a line or may have upset her, instead he says something like, he was on his way out because he doesn’t know “how the night could get any better.”

But I guess that and the kiss were good enough to win her over because she plants a big one on him right there.

The whole thing kind of ick-ed me out.

He doesn't actually get justice; he gets to die free and happy.
Not that I'm an advocate for torture, but it would have been good for him to know he was going to die. Or at least been given a little scare beforehand.

(Also, how did Lilly's blood get on the Oscar statue?)

Watching “mars,bars” and I can’t help but feel bad for Veronica.

Like Logan, Parker, Mac are having fun just getting to be young while Veronica is solving murders.

Obviously that’s the point of the show but 😂😂

Can anyone help me find an image of the wonky cake that Veronica made for Keith? I want to make a similar one for my father's birthday as a little inside joke, because Veronica Mars used to be our little show we used to watch together on the weekends c:

Lamb arresting Weevil 5 minutes before he walks across the stage INFURIATES me. Maybe because we know he’s innocent for the murder of Thumper. Maybe because we know his Grandma’s dying wish is to see him graduate and that will never be able to redone when he’s found innocent. Maybe because I hate Lamb with a vengeance. Either way- I hate it!

So, I wanted to get my husband into Veronica Mars and he LOVED S1, we're halfway through S2 and he's kinda lost a bit of interest, and while watching with him, here are some things I noticed that also make me not as enthralled as S1.

• It seems the writers just kinda have up on Weevil. Like, he was so interesting in S1 and had great chemistry with Veronica, and in S2... idk what they were doing. He would have been a great POV character for the racial tensions in Neptune, but instead they weave in this weird sidestory with Logan, who he had 0 chemistry with, and seems more like an object the writers are using to move the plot than an actual person at the end of high school developing in this super complicated socio-economic world.

• The whole episode of Ducan disappearing with his daughter was - strange. If the actors who player Meg and Ducan had to leave the show, I think it was a very clever way to do it, but it just didn't make any sense to me. They put an insane amount of money and time into this plan where Ducan can never be seen again instead of doing some PI magic.

• Wallace leaving with his dad, then coming back and his mom, who was a pretty major character like 5 mins ago, is nowhere to be found [I'm not done with s2 yet, so maybe she comes back]

• The writers seemed to get more into having as many twists and turns as possible rather than tell the story. The thing about S1 twist and turns is they worked bc the entire time, it was true, the Kanes WERE covering up the murder for Duncan, they just didn't have the whole story. My husband commented on how in S1, he never forgot what Veronica was investigating, bit with S2, he often forgets about the bus crash bc too many side plots are branching out.

This is just my opinion and I'd love to hear anyone else's. I'm the most sore about Weevil [and Leo a little bit] bc he was my favorite.

Just rewatching Veronica Mars and need to take a moment for underrated queen Mac. I love her. A queer icon actually.

So JBJ always linked in my head because of her best friend’s phone number 555-555-5555. “Cute way of talking, disregard for authority, and habit of speaking her mind,” made her popular among children. Adults at the time didn’t like her “poor social values/not a good role model due to her mouthiness, bad spelling, and grammar”

All that’s to say— stupid smelly bus?

In season 1, weevil breaks into the Kane house to get Lily’s spy pen, to remove a note he left for her.

Was it ever revealed what the note was?

long time fan first time poster 🤭 look i am rewatching season one and desperately seeking Veronica’s boots from season 1, seen here in this season 1 promo. even if they’re not the exact boots could someone point me in the right direction of what to search?? im falling flat somehow the couple times ive tried to search for em and figured it would be easier to ask for help
