Before we start off with this week's recap, I just wanted to remind everybody that Veronica Mars is switching to Tuesdays at 9PM, starting April 11th. Our poor girl got trounced by idol and barely kept the ANTM audience so it's on (hopefully) to greener pastures. For a show that always has some speculation floating around that it is going to get cancelled, this is not great news, but that still doesn't take away from the here and now. I have been telling anybody who will listen, whether it be at a bar or a dinner party, that Veronica Mars is the best show on television. While that might make me the least interesting person in the room, at least my conscience is clean. Last week, Veronica found some explosives and detonators in the Terrence Cook's hangar. You remember; it's the one where he keeps all of his fine cars.That's not to say that that Terrence Cook is guilty of homicide, but it will make Keith's job a lot harder.
I have never seen a Veronica Mars episode with so many flashbacks at the beginning of the episode before. That's probably because it has been off the air for so long. I will try to fill people in on some of the details as I go along, but remember you can always check the archives for something that you missed, and please leave a comment if you think there is something important that I missed. As we race towards the season finale, we all have to keep on our toes.
Like I said, Veronica found explosives and detonators in Terrence Cook's hangar, but as we know, it really isn't Terrence Cook's hangar. It actually belongs to Woody Goodman, but oddly enough, it seems as if the people investigation haven't really picked up on that little part of the case, which seems strange because you would think that Veronica or her dad would pick up on this. Whatever the case may be, it really causes a conflict of interest for Keith, who is obviously working for Terrence, but is too good of a man not to report evidence that would help solve the investigation. Keith reports the incident to Sheriff Lamb, who loves seeing Keith come back asking for Lamb to investigate days after Keith came into that same office asking him to stop the investigation.
Now even though Terrence may have killed those kids on the bus, it is still only the second most scandalous murder involving a celebrity in this crazy town of Neptune. That title goes to Aaron Echolls, who is being featured on the latest "Tinseltown Diaries", the Veronica Mars equivalent of the E! True Hollywood Story, narrated I believe by Harry Hamelin (the actor who plays Aaron Echolls) for extra comedic effect. I have to say, I actually felt sorry for Logan at the beginning of this episode. Say what you will about Duncan Kane, he was somebody that was there for Logan more often than not, even when you consider their histories with Veronica. Logan's best friend is now Dick Casablancas who is too busy enjoying himself making jokes about how Logan’s dad got lean off of all of those tossed salads to take a moment to think about what his friend is going through.

I thought this was a really good episode. It is a shame so many people are missing out on the greatness that is Veronica Mars.
And next week's episode looks fantastic! Alia Shawkat and Micheal Cera from Arrested Development are guest starring! Which was another show NOBODY watched :(

Just wanted to clarify: according to upn.com, Veronica Mars is still on Wednesdays at 9...BUT a rerun of last week's episode will be broadcast Tuesday at 9.
I'm liking the Logan/Hannah storyline...and thank you for admitting that Jason Dohring can act! The only thing that bugs me about Hannah is that at times she looks about 12 years old, which kinda weirds me out.

Oh yeah, and as a fellow Arrested Development fan, I too am TOTALLY excited about Michael Cera and Alia Shawkat on this week's episode!
I hope there's some kind of inside joke for the AD fans...e.g. have them make out, or have one of them say "it's not like he/she's my COUSIN," etc.

I think that it looked like Kendall either planted a bug or tweezed hair from the shower from Duncan's bathroom, not Logan's. I think that Aaron wants to plant/use Duncan's DNA to get off the hook for Lilly's murder. I'm not sure how this will work considering the crime scene was at Duncan's house and his DNA/hair was everywhere.

I wasn't sure if it was Duncan's or Logan's shower she tweezed hair out of. Also with all of the evidence already collected what good is it for her to have.

maybeimamazed02, the move doesn't take place until April 11th, which is why UPN is saying the episode is on Wednesday this week.

Kendall was definitely in Duncan's bathroom: as she walked in the camera zoomed into a bunch of photos on the counter of Duncan with Veronica and Lilly.

Oh! I don't know if any of you guys watch Big Love on HBO, but the actors who play Lilly, Mac and Cassidy on VM are on that. Awesome.

Okay, I'm new here, but I talk about Veronica Mars all the time too. Unfortunately, not everyone gets UPN, so that doesn't help matters.
I think the "something bad" Logan did was let Kendell into the house. I think he knew she did something.

According to TV Guide's 3/24 Ausiello Report, UPN is moving VM to Tuesdays so that it comes on directly after Gilmore Girls on the WB. Apparently they've been planning on a GG/VM combo on Tuesdays after the new channel is unveiled. This is great news for all us Veronica fans!
