RIP Veronica Mars
Veronica Mars was one of the truly great shows on TV-witty and clever with a great actress at its heart, it could not be beat. Except, of course, in the ratings, where The Search For the Next Pussy Cat Doll got better ratings. Truly, the dumbing down of America when a show that has real characters, internal coherency and some of the best and wittiest lines on TV (Veronica going into a room of fellow students who are thieves who want her join them "Is this where you turn me into a vampire?"). VM had the courage to have as its heart and soul a girl who sometimes was not that nice " It's all fun and games till one of you gets my foot up your ass.". I loved Veronica and acerbic conversations with Logan "Veronica: Look at you, all helpful.
Logan: Hey, your peskiness being unleashed on Conner brings me joy. Annoy, tiny blonde one, annoy like the wind!".
And Kristen Bell was at her best when she recognized who she was and just didn't know how to stop it...and maybe wasn't too interested in stopping it. "Tragedy blows through your life like a tornado, uprooting everything. Creating chaos. You wait for the dust to settle and then you choose. You can live in the wreckage and pretend it's still the mansion you remember. Or you can crawl from the rubble and slowly rebuild. But if you're like me, you keep chasing the storm". Bell could sell her emotions with just a look on her face-you didn't need to hear her say her heart was breaking because you could see it. I hate to say goodbye to Veronica and her father (I have to admit that when they both found out that he was her biological father when there had been some doubt...I teared up) Enrico Colantoni and Kristen Bell made one of most believable father/daughter relationships I've seen, while Jason Dohring was, by turns, charming, hilarious, touching, mean, infuriating and always with a smart mouth and witty remark which usually hid how pain he was in. Goodbye, everyone...I'll miss you. But anyone who hasn't seen this show should go and get the first season on DVD now-I mean it! What are waiting for?
