Veronica Mars Rewatch – “Return of the Kane”
This is an episode of fatherly relationships — namely Jake Kane, Aaron Echolls, and Keith Mars. Jake Kane, until this point, has really been shown in mixed light as he’s still considered a suspect in his daughter’s murder. But it’s hard to see him as a cold-blooded killer after watching his interactions with Duncan in … Continue reading
Veronica Mars Rewatch – “You Think You Know Somebody”
While watching this episode, I can’t help but think of the Wizard’s First Rule from the Sword of Truth series: “People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it’s true, or because they are afraid it might … Continue reading

“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you’re all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn’t happen much, though.”
Veronica Mars Rewatch – “The Wrath of Con”

Veronica Mars Rewatch – Credit Where Credit’s Due
The second episode of Veronica Mars brings us deeper into the culture clash of Neptune, with the haves versus the have-nots. In this case, the haves are the 09ers… those who live in the desirable 90909 zip code. The poster children for the 09ers are Logan Echolls and his current girlfriend Caitlin Ford. Unfortunately, this … Continue reading
Keith Mars inks his deal
Rob Thomas has informed all of the Kickstarter backers that Enrico Colantoni has officially signed on to the Veronica Mars movie. Currently Veronica, Logan and Keith are all sure things for the movie. Can’t wait to see who’s next… I imagine it will be Ryan Hansen (Dick Casablancas) Classic Keith Mars “Tonight we eat, like … Continue reading
Veronica Mars Rewatch – “Pilot”
You can watch the Pilot episode for free on TheWB.com Television pilots are a tricky business. All at once they have to establish everything about the show–the characters, the tone, the ongoing story–while hooking in viewers for the long haul. Some shows end up looking A LOT different from the pilot, even just a few … Continue reading
