Veronica Mars: What an Ending!
Holy crap! How’s that for an ending? Were you as freaked out by the last couple of scenes as we were? Our only quibble – Veronica knew she’d been drugged. She said as much in her voiceover – “I can’t believe this is happening to me again.” Why didn’t she stay in the food court, or call Piz or Taylor or someone she hadn’t pissed off lately? (Granted, that’s a short list, but there must have been someone….) Is she so disillusioned with everyone she knows that she couldn’t even call them when she desperately needed help? Veronica, we know you have trust issues, but come on!
And were we the only people who were getting kind of tired of Veronica monopolizing the moral high ground? Yes, granted, it’s a bad idea to take up with a married woman, but did she have to rub Keith’s nose in the fact that she thought he was a bad, bad man? Or was it just that she’d put him on such a high pedestal for so long that she couldn’t stand that thought that he’d have any moral failings? He had been her rock for as long as she could remember, and now she has to admit that he’s not perfect. That part of becoming an adult sucks.
As for Logan … yes, he should have tried to help out in the hotel fire, but couldn’t Veronica at least try to understand the panic he must have been feeling? She can’t possibly have been putting Logan on a pedestal since she’s been sort of sneering at him the whole time they’ve been dating. Or are we letting our Logan sympathies show? We have to admit, he cemented our love for him when he came to Veronica’s rescue even when he thought she was cheating on him with Piz.
We’re glad Veronica’s finally learning that everything’s not black and white – although you would have thought she’d figured that out in season one. Her prof can be a horndog, but still want to be a good professor. The Dean can be an upright and decent man, but still have a gambling jones. Keith can stumble and fall, but he’s still her father and he’s still a decent guy. And Logan can be the same screwed up, morally suspect, wounded creature he’s always been, and still be there when Veronica needs him. Will Veronica let him?
Should Veronica have been so hard on Keith about Harmony? Vote!

I LOVE VERONICA MARS!! It is my all time favorite show, I was very disappointed to learn that the creator was taking it off the air- exactly what was he thinking? The least he could have done was have a fourth season, just to finish everything out- let us know if Veronica stays with Piz or if her and Logan get back together again. I am very bummed, I've heard that there has been talk of a movie and I hope there is. I cant wait and I'll be the first one in line at the theatre.

I love this show and I loved that episode. That was one of the most exciting episodes I've seen from any show this season. If CW ever cancels this show I'd be pissed. It's probably the best show they have on now. I loved Smallville but the writers overuse Lana and things have been getting lame.

This was the BEST EPISODE OF SEASON 3! Keep up the great work, Rob Thomas & Co., and CW, please renew VM for the 4th Season!

I have to say I thought this was the best episode of the season. It was dark and gritty and compelling especially the last part of the episode. Yes Veronica was not acting very nice to Logan but it was completely understandable and that is the way that Veronica is, given everything that has happened to her. And I love Logan because yes, he screwed up in Mexico but he kept on loving Veronica eventhough she pushed him away.
Please keep Veronica Mars on air. It deserves that much.

Well.
One thing.
She could have had no choice you know.
Was the food court still open?
She could've just wanted to go home.
But if you think that she thinks her car is safe, your wrong.
Very wrong.
What happened in the last episode of Season One?
Who ended up in the backseat in her car?
Aaron Echolls.
For all we know.
Anyone could've been in there.
But,
KEEP VM ON THE AIR!!!!

I liked Veronica's voiceovers in this episode. However, I think Veronica needs therapy. I know she is supposed to be this outsider and not trust people. However, she is getting ridiculous. She needs to realize that nobody is perfect and figure out how she can achieve a balance between not being a sucker and trusting people more. I agree that Veronica probably didn't fully realize that she was drugged and was trying to get somewhere that she felt safe (like her car).

You know, I originally thought the same thing about her going to her car even though she had been drugged, but I think she didn't realize it completely until she was out of the building. By then, maybe she thought she would be able to make it to her car and lock herself in before she passed out.
