Veronica Mars: The Quick and the Wed
January 30th 2007 06:08
The Quick and the Wed was another solid episode of Veronica Mars. The plotlines continued to advance, but there were no particularly shocking revelations.
Right off the bat, I just have to say that they were the longest 'previouslies' I have ever seen.
It really is a testament to the continuity of the show, but I don't think they had to feature every plotline in the history of the show.
The 'Runaway Bride' mystery of the week was fairly entertaining, although considering how annoying Heidi (Virginia Williams) was, I'm not sure why Jane (Valorie Curry) wanted to find her. However, a character I love to hate is the sleazy but amusing Vinnie Van Lowe (Ken Marino), so I enjoyed his part in the investigation.
The involvement of Terrence Cook (Jeffrey Sams) in the bus crash keeps getting stranger and stranger. Just as Keith (Enrico Colantoni) finds evidence to exonerate him, Terrence is shot while breaking into Ms Dumass' house. His actions and lies throughout the season are not those of a man with a clear conscience. They just seem to extreme to be solely to protect his reputation, but perhaps I'm underestimating the cut-throat world of baseball and sponsorships.
I enjoyed the exchange between Kendall (Charisma Carpenter) and Beaver (Kyle Gallner), and there was some wonderfully snarky dialogue between them. The incorporation is obviously going to have an impact on Beaver's business; from his reaction, it is not going to be favourable.
It was great to see Aaron Echolls again; Harry Hamlin plays this chilling character well. His scene with Kendall was particularly disturbing, particularly with the allusions to The Silence of the Lambs. I wonder if this reference has any significance to silencing Sheriff Lamb?
I’m not certain precisely what Kendall was doing in Logan's hotel room, but it appears she may have been getting a hair sample from Duncan's shower. Considering how long he's been gone, the fact that there is any hair there at all says little for the Neptune Grand's cleaning service.
Poor Logan (Jason Dohring) is feeling more ostracised with the airing of "The Tinseltown Diaries" and the rapid onset of his court case. Seeing it all in one place makes you realise how truly messed up Logan's life is. The always hilarious Cliff (Daran Norris) was back, apparently still representing Logan despite his pleas for him to hire another lawyer.
I hope the charade with Hannah (Jessy Schram) ends soon; I don't like the way he is using her, and I have no desire for them to be together in any way, shape or form. Logan's sneakiness in sending the email backs up my theory that he placed evidence for Hannah to find. Dr Griffith (Rick Peters) has agreed to drop his false testimony on the condition that Logan stays away from his daughter, so obviously he believes the worst of him. Logan's actions have done nothing to dispel his fear, though he now seems to be regretting his manipulation of Hannah. I wonder if he will keep to his word?
I liked the exchange between Logan and Veronica (Kristin Bell), and I think there certainly is merit to Logan's accusation of jealousy. I also let out a fangirl squee at the true love reference. Whenever Logan is in trouble, he always turns to Veronica, and she always helps him - that's LoVe.
Veronica Mars returns next Friday at 10.35pm on Network Ten.

I actually have a massive thing for Logan, ever since that charged kiss in season 1, all of a sudden I was melting like a schoolgirl!
