Veronica Mars: The Plot Thickens
The plot thickens with the Dean O'Dell murder. Now we know that the Dean's Volvo was on-site – did Mindy drive it there? Or maybe Professor Landry, or the stepson? Or is the car just a red herring? And did any of the Lilith House women see anything incriminating while they were egging cars and offices? Or were they doing something incriminating? Time will tell.
There was some great, thoroughly inappropriate snark in this episode. We have to admit, we snorted when Veronica gave Keith the boom box and coached him on proper bachelorette-party etiquette when he was wearing his old Sheriff's uniform. Plus, the look on Sheriff lamb's face when Keith was in the next car was priceless. We loved that almost as much as Logan bemoaning the waste of money in paying a prostitute and then just sending her on her way with no action. Now you decide to be frugal? Nice try, Logan.
We got kind of caught up in the doomed love story of Max and Wendy. We felt sorry for Max – he did get conned out of a hell of a lot of money, and his roommates acted deplorably. Seriously, did his friends have to be such pigs? But poor Wendy! She genuinely liked – maybe even loved – Max, and she really seemed like she wanted to change her life. But no one would let her forget her former profession – not her madam, not the roommates, and in the end, not even Max. That last scene, where Max gave Veronica the money Wendy had raised? "I hope you don't mind being paid in vertically folded one-dollar-bills…." What a punch in the gut.
Speaking of gut-punches – the Madison reveal was pretty brutal as well. Do you think she's lying, or telling the truth? Logan did admit he'd been with a horrible girl that he'd regretted immediately, but we thought he was talking about the skanky surfer chick from last week. Did a Madison liaison happen as well? And if it did, is it unforgivable? We don't know if veronica can really censure Logan for something that happened when they were broken up. Mock him for it, sure – we get the impression that IQ points would leach out of anyone who stayed in the same room with her for too long. But blame him? We don't know.
And why or why does Veronica have to keep poking the bear? Do you want to be happy with Logan, Veronica? Then quit trying to find out the worst information about him. Decide to trust him, or decide to let him go. Don't keep torturing him – and yourself – by trying to confirm your worst fears about him.
What did you think? Should Max have been able to get over Wendy's former profession? Is Madison lying? Are Veronica and Logan doomed? And who killed Dean O'Dell? Share your thoughts in the comments.

I totaly think you should bring back Veronica Mars. The only reason you didnt get great ratings was because you barly advertised the show. I didn't even find out about it until i accidently left the tv on after watching Gilmore Girls and it came on. That's how i got hooked on2 the 3rd season. Will you please bring it back! It was SOOOOOOOO good, i wana see what happens. O and i think Logan and Veronica should get back 2gether, i don't like Parker and Veronica

I think that there should def be another season of veronica and i agree that there isnt enough advertising for the show and that is probably why people dont watch it if they can bring jerhico back they can give us another season of veronica

I just started watching Veronica Mars this summer my aunt brought the first season up from lansing with her, and i could not stop watching it, before i knew it in a matter of like 2 months i blew through the first 3 seasons even though i havent been watching it long i really hope that they make a fourth season because i really like the show. O and i think that logen and veronica make the best couple for real

I love Veronica Mars and I think if the show was advertised more then more people would know about it and watch it.
People have no idea what it is about because it is not advertised.
I just recently picked up on the series and love it and i just happen to stumble on it. I wish that it could be promoted more.
I love Veronica and Logan together because they are the couple you want to see get together but may never work out.

I cannot express how utterly crushed I would be if Veronica Mars ended. It is, without a doubt, my favorite show on television. It always puts me in a good mood - Please, please, PLEASE keep this show on the air!

PLEASE!!!! YOU MUST HAVE A 4TH SEASON OF VERONICA MARS. COME ON EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS, PR EXECS, GET WITH HEAVY DUTY PROMOS FOR THIS GREAT, GREAT SHOW. IT WOULD BE A REAL DISERVICE TO THE TV INDUSTRY TO LET THIS ONE GET AWAY AND, IF CW11 WON'T AIR IT, THEN I SUGGEST YOU PITCH VM TO SOME OTHER STATION AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T DISAPPEAR!

VERONICA MARS NEEDS TO HAVE A FOURTH SEASON! IT'S THE ONLY SHOW THAT I ENJOY WATCHING! IF THEY CANCEL IT.. I WILL NEVER EVER WATCH ANY TV AGAIN!! AND ABOUT 20 OF MY FRIENDS WILL STOP WATCHING CW AS WELL!!

I agree that there HAS to be a 4th season. I really want to see Veronica and Logan together for more than 5 minutes at a time though. I do love this show so I'm hoping there's enough support for a 4th season.

"It's next to confirmed that Veronica Mars will NOT see a 4th season. Ratings expert (and Programming Insider writer) Marc Berman shared his opinion himself today....it's over!"
Um yeah, Berman also said it wouldn't see a 2nd or 3rd season as well....

Excellent commentary. I particularly agree with your comments regarding Logan and Veronica. Veronica really needs to learn to let some things alone (particularly when asked to repeatedly) if she is ever going to genuinely love and trust a significant other. She's not being fair to Logan by forcing him to reveal information about himself that he does not want to and then condemning him for it, all under the guise of achieving greater intimacy.

OMG!! VM has to be a 4th season!!

Is Veronica Pregnant? The previews for this next episode sure sounded like it. What does everyone think?
Posted by: Aimee | February 1, 2007 2:00 PM
I am one of the 3% that watch Veronica Mars , I hope it does she a 4th season.
Posted by: Jessica | February 1, 2007 11:12 AM
Yep...and as expected, 27% of households watched house, while 3% watched Veronica Mars.
It's next to confirmed that Veronica Mars will NOT see a 4th season. Ratings expert (and Programming Insider writer) Marc Berman shared his opinion himself today....it's over!
