Well, finished Veronica Mars S1 and it was *definitely* worth the $18 they're selling the box set at nowadays. I'm not ready to go out and write fic or obsess to the point of madness about the show, but I was very entertained. So much so, I went out and bought S2 this morning. And it takes a lot for me to actually marathon a show without getting bored and/or feel the need to go do something else.

• Veronica. How could I not love this character? She's really a modern, angry Nancy Drew. Heh heh.
  
  
• I knew Veronica/Logan was coming from having watched a couple of S2 eps recently, but still it seemed...a bit odd. Not that I was against it or anything, but one second they hated each other and the next they were making out. I admit, the drama gets high during the high school years, but it would have been nice to see some sort of hints of it to set it up ahead of time. Again, not against the pairing - I find it entertaining. Just the setup was jarring.
  
  
• Duncan is *way* more fucked up than Logan. Just felt the need to say that. Not that Logan isn't as well. The whole "I just want to protect you" line was, well, Logan needs therapy for Dad issues and women issues (which are a result of Dad). Duncan just needs therapy. Period.
  
  
• Keith Mars is all kinds of AWESOME.
  
  
• One slightly irking point - whenever Veronica would imagine what had happened to Lilly, different things were used, like a table edge, in killing her. Wouldn't Veronica have at least known what was used to kill her? They would have found that thing in the pool and it would have made headlines. What was that thing anyway? A radio?
  
  
• The finale with the fire was a bit over the top. :D Ah well. Teen drama. Plus, Keith Mars is still awesome.
  
  
• I'm a bit confused about the plot involving Veronica's mother. Was that completely unrelated to Lilly's murder? The reason they were threatening her was only because she was threatening to sue to get a paternity test? A bit of a red herring?
  
  
• ETA: *Very* cool seeing all these San Diego sites in the show. Recognize *lots* of places. The place along the beach where Veronica found her upstairs neighbor? Just down a ways from my favorite breakfast place. They went to Belmont Park too. One thing I totally forgot to mention was that a while back I saw one of those hand-made posters with "V Mars" and an arrow - you know the ones used for film productions - a while back when driving through a very rich neighborhood. Meant to mention it to poohmusings but forgot.
