Veronica Mars: Season 2: Episode 10: One Angry Veronica

The problem with UPN
Sure, Veronica Mars may have a small audience, but UPN isn’t helping. For one thing, some people can’t get that station. Also, I haven’t been able to see the last three episodes, because on Wednesday I watch Lost, and than I can’t catch them when they’re replayed on Sundays. Problem is that I can’t tape Veronica Mars when it’s first on and the last three weeks they had basketball games on Sundays, and on one day they had this idiotic Security Installation screen up. So if I say something that doesn’t make sense- remember, I haven’t seen the last few episodes. It’s a sad thing- I really love Veronica Mars. (It’s a 10 out of 10 show.) Thank god for DVD sets!

Duncan and Meg
I was wondering why Meg was being such a jerk, though being pregnant doesn’t mean she should of been that way to Veronica. It’s not like she knew and purposely stole the father of her child away from her. After this episode I find myself really not liking Duncan now. He does this to his first girlfriend, and than he takes the risk of doing it again with his next! I find that he’s just another irresponsible teenage boy. If I was Veronica I wouldn’t have found it so easy to forgive him. He kept all that big information away from her. I’m also wondering how Meg thought Veronica could keep her child from being sent to that orphanage. (Wait a second! Isn’t it the choice of the mother? Maybe I just don’t know my law very well.) Anyways, Meg’s parents seem like horrible people to do that to their own grandchild. There’s one of the things I love about Veronica Mars- it has great ideas for ongoing storylines.

Jury Problems
While you may think that an episode taking place almost entirely in a jury room wouldn’t be very entertaining, Veronica Mars (as always) does it very well. One question though- if the jury is deadlocked don’t they have to stay in a hotel? Maybe I’ve just watched The Simpsons a bit too much. Also, did Veronica come into the jury when the main part of the trial was over, when it was open for jury debating? This part of the episode was entertaining. (Keith Mars anybody?) Anyways, it was very funny when he showed her the jury duty notice. Also, I found that one man in the jury was incredibly prejudicial. (He is a few words I won’t even type.) Then there were those stupid vandals who wrote those very insulting words on Veronica’s car. The ending of this episode with Wallace coming back at New Years was incredibly wonderful. (Though I have to wonder if this means that Veronica was on jury duty Christmas Day.)

The Lilly Kane Tapes
This is maybe my favorite part of the episode, due to the fact that it focuses around Keith Mars. (Go Keith!) I could kind of guess that it was Leo who stole the tapes… it’s just this 6th sense that I have. I find his justification was pretty lame, (Stealing porn to get money for his sister with down-syndrome) but I thought it was honorable that he didn’t try to fight it off. (Though he still should have received some jail-time instead of just being kicked off the force.) Another part of this episode I loved was how Keith trapped Logan. (“That’s Mr. Mars to you.”) Didn’t Logan hate his father for what he did? Logan, destroying those tapes isn’t going to cause that whole thing to not of happened. Or did he do it for some other purpose? Hmmm. That was also a pretty stupid thing for that one guy (I forget his name) to put those papers on the desk when Logan was there. All I have to say for my closing statement is that UPN had better not cancel Veronica Mars.
