Two Truths and a Lie

In Arrested Development Veronica Mars
1) Michael Cera, George Michael of the late Arrested Development, is really hilarious, and was the high point of last night’s Veronica Mars.
2) In the abstract (without pointing to specific examples), Veronica Mars is my favorite show on television.
3) Last night’s episode was so fulfilling and coherent! Best ever!
And the lie is… Number Three. But before I tell you why, here’s child prodigy Michael Cera. Comedy genius!
By the way, last night my cable was still out, and in order to watch Veronica Mars, the intrepid Kyle constructed an antenna out of a hanger and some tin foil two minutes before the show started. It totally worked. It was amazing.
Okay, so… I don’t really want to talk about last night’s episode. Let’s just say that it felt like the first episode of the third season, Veronica Goes to College, not a real part of this one. We met a whole bunch of awesome new characters who we’ll probably never see again, and Veronica failed to solve the case, setting us up for what seems like a decent long-running mystery, except that she hasn’t even convinced herself she even wants to go to this college, so why should she (or we) care?
Also, Logan, I am very disappointed in you. Apologizing to Hannah? Just BE evil, already! I promise everyone will still love you.
And now let’s just put this all behind us and hope for better things to come. Dean and Troy, series regulars?
For the tifauxers at home, that fine piece of invention was a short coaxial cable with the pointy wire at the end touching a tube of loosely crinkled aluminum attached to a clothes hanger. The reception was significantly better than the low-strength analog “cable” that was our other alternative.
Fear not, the cable is now fixed and we have a new Scientific Atlanta 8300 to replace the old 8000. We might have to update the logo. Probably not though.
