Where were we?: Veronica Mars

A refresher on what was happening with Veronica, Logan, Wallace and the rest of our Neptune friends.

Doesn’t it feel great to have the gang back together again? Oh, sorry Sheriff Lamb.

First of all, Sheriff Lamb is dead. Done in by a crack in the head by a melancholy cameo by Richard Greico who is playing up his retro-kitsch for work. Hey, Greico’s gotta eat too. So there’s not a whole lot to remind you of about Lamb, aside from the fact that he’s likely fighting crime in that great big squad car in the sky with fellow dead TV cops like Ana Lucia Cortez and Bobby Simone. Keith is still the interim sheriff, having been appointed through a highly questionable display of governmental power by the county “commissioner.” (Nerd alert: I’ll have you know that in California, they have “supervisors.” Anyone who knows me knows why I would be particular about this.)

Second of all, the TA did it — but you remember that. They were in class and TA Tim was all “let’s break down how Landry killed Dean O’Dell” and Veronica was all “it all makes sense to me now” and the TA was all “no I didn’t” and Veronica was all “I’ll show the entire class that you did it, chump.” Then she went into the bit about the bug in her phone, the ambition of the young TA, etc.

Despite Veronica’s sleuthwork, it doesn’t work out well for the exonerated Prof. Landry, because he “accidentally” killed Dean O’Dell’s wife/his secret lov-ah and is now facing manslaughter charges. I’m a little skeptical of the “accidental” nature of the crime, as you can tell by my damning use of quotation marks.

Back in the world of teen drama, Logan and Parker are sort of dating but both of them feel weird about it because of the looming Veronica-shaped cloud lingering over them. Logan asks if its okay for them to see each other and Veronica, like a champ, gives them the go-ahead. And then she swallows her own head. Will they get back together eventually? Guessing not.

In supporting cast news, Weevil is still Weevil, Dick got a quickie Britney marriage, Mac is presumably still seeing the nerd boy and Wallace has wandered off the face of the earth.

Oh, both Piz and Piz’s hair are in love with Veronica. She has no idea — or does she?! OMG! ROFL!
