The Cruelest Cut of Them All - TVgasm

Veronica's little chat with her dad does make her think of Woody Goodman, the essay contest, and what you win for the essay contest. That's right, you win a chance to destroy Shark Stadium, which takes explosives. Woody Goodman owns shark Stadium. Woody Goodman owns the hangar where the police found explosives and detonators in order to implicate Terrence Newman (also MIA this week, apparently recovering from his gunshot wound).

Taking a tour of the construction site, Veronica manages to take a look at the C-4, and the explosives and detonators are exactly like the ones she saw at Terrence's Hangar. And to make things even more interesting, she sees that Danny Boyd works there. Danny is a Fitzpatrick, and if he had access to the C-4 that implicated Terrence Newman, than things are really, really interesting.

So, I thought it was a great episode. I was pleased that it had a lot to do with college because I participated in an online blogger press conference for Veronica Mars last week, and I actually asked Rob Thomas a question on how the writers planned to transition the show to college life, seeing as how Neptune is such a great setting for everything that goes on now. To make a long story short, Rob said there was plenty that the writers could do with the character because they aren't constrained by age considerations. Veronica has always been too mature for Neptune, so I guess that means she can really become an adult after graduation.

I only mention that because another blogger asked how intertwined the Fitzpatrick/Felix murder story line is with the bus crash, and while Rob wasn't committal, he said that one would be resolved before the ever. That's very vague, but I am betting we are starting to build towards a solid season finale. I am guessing with everything that is going on with Logan that the Felix murder will be the first one that is handled, but you never know. I do know that more and more roads are leading to Woody Goodman’s as being the center of a lot of the controversy this year.

What did you think of the episode? Why was Sugar Jones hired to steal Cliff's briefcase? How is Woody Goodman connected? Will Veronica really move away for college?

I hope the whole cast goes to the same college. I don't tolerate change well.

I don't tolerate change well either. That's why, since 1985, I have insisted on watching only movies and television involving Steve "The Gutte" Guttenberg.

I was so glad to see the kids from Arrested Development on another great show (although another it's another great show that gets ratings far lower than its brilliance deserves.)

I agree, AbbyAnn! I'm kind of hoping they become recurring characters next year. Surely, you'll at least have to see Alia Shawkat's character again.
And Michael Cera was so cute and dorky. :)

As hot as Logan and Hannah's looove scene was (fairly explicit for network TV as well, I thought--not that they showed anything, but they REALLY alluded to oral sex, which you don't see too often when it's not HBO or Showtime), I'm kinda glad to see her go. She just got too damn CUTE for me...that and at certain angles she looks 12 and that's just gross.

Another great recap, as always, J-Unit. My favourite line: "After hearing about the demolition, Dick Casablancas was upset that he "didn't write good", maybe he should try to speak much gooder too." Haha, priceless.

And I was also very happy with Micheal Cera and Alia Shawkat guest starring. George Micheal was always my favourite character on Arrested Development. He was cute in an awkward sort of way.

VM really is the best show ever.

I fourth the Arrested Development love! I geeked out when Michael Cera showed up and about lost it when Alia Shawkat was in it too. Glad to see I wasn't the only one.

I was also glad to see Hannah go; she was painfully thin. Veronica may be petite, but she's healthy looking. Hannah was just... creepy.

Love this show and I hope it gets picked up for the CW. And J-Unit, I think Keith and Wallace's were through when he stole personal documents from her house.

That should read Wallace's mom....sorry for the missing word.

Good recap. Boy am i glad im not the only person who thought that girl look weird, and childlike.

It's not just you, she does look like she's 12.

God I can't wait for tonight's episode!

I love VM. It's one of the best shows around but lately I've felt disappointed. The episodes aren't wrapped up very well. I think you had a great point by mentioning the fact that they didn't solve who the rapist was in this episodes. There is just too much going on this season. It feels sloppy.
