Veronica Mars: Getting Down to (Monkey) Business
Ok, we know, there are all sorts of things we should be pondering after this episode, but first we've got to say: Mac's getting lucky! Wheeee! We're way too invested in her – she may be our favorite person on the show right now, and that's saying a lot. Bronson seems to be quite the cool guy, and he'll be good for her. We we're so glad that she's starting to get over the nightmare that was Beaver last year.
And then there's that other major eeeeeeeeeee! moment – Veronica went back to Logan! She knows he's the one she really wants! It's true love forever and ever! Um, until you get to the teaser for next week, which makes it look like their reunion doesn't last. This is one hell of a rocky relationship. Which couple do you think is the cutest?
So what did you think of Logan this episode? We actually felt sorry for him even when he was hooking up with the skanky surf chick – it must be depressing to have someone basically rub your nose in the fact that they're only fooling around with you because your daddy's famous. Poor guy. (We still think he should have kept his pants zipped, though.)
Now that we've got all the relationship news out of the way, we can focus on that whole mystery thing. We're intrigued by the Dean O'Dell death, and we find Professor Landry's behavior suspicious as hell. Who do you think killed Dean O'Dell? We're also amazed by the chutzpah of Mrs. O'Dell – we suppose it's admirable that she wasn't pretending to be looking for justice, but to just come out and tell Keith she needs to prove O'Dell was murdered so she can get at his insurance? We kind of feel like she can't be the killer, because she's just too obvious a suspect. We're glad Keith's on the case.
As for the monkey mystery, we were chiefly interested in it just because it introduced Mac to Bronson. We're not surprised that one of the lab assistants ended up being the culprit – that was one adorable monkey. We do wonder if Gil-Thomas should just switch majors to zoology right now, though, because we doubt he's going to last long in
the lab.
What did you think? Are you thrilled about Veronica and Logan? Did you squeal with glee over Mac and Bronson? Do you feel sorry for Piz? Are you collecting clues in the O'Dell murder? Share your thoughts in the comments!

Piz is great and all. But I'm sorry, Logan and Veronica have one of the best TV relationships I've seen. I don't want them to be together all the time, because I also love the angst but they have to be together when the show ends.

Katie, I am going to have to respectfully disagree with you concerning Veronica Mars being watercooler worthy. I find the show fascinating and intelligent. It is one of the only two shows on the CW that I will take the time to watch the reruns - Supernatural is the other show.
As for whether or not Veronica and Logan should end up together, I believe that they should. However, it would be nice if they were able to be friends first. I am a little tired of the one again for one episode and off again for two or three episodes. I would like to see the awkward progression between dating to trying to be friends to being friends and then realizing that they love each other more than before.
As for Piz and Veronica, I don't see the romantic chemistry between them. I do see a lot of chemistry with them being friends and Just Friends. Piz hasn't worked for me as a new character this season because everyone has been pushing him to hard at me. However, Parker is someone that wasn't talked about a whole lot and who I love as a new character. It just goes to show you that sometimes things in television have to take a more natural course. Well that is my 2 cents worth.

I personally find Veronica Mars to be a fascinating show. When I watch it, I'm not sitting there with the thought "why the frack am I watching this?" running through my mind. Finally there is a show that doesn't make me feel stupid and utterly brain dead after viewing. Plus, the cast is amazing!

Will this blog ever realize that Veronica Mars is NOT watercooler worthy? Just because it gets critical acclaim doesn't mean people are talking about it the next day. Look at how many people post comments on VM posts versus, say, Smallville... literally about 40 times as many!
Sure, it's nice to see the reviews of VM for fans who really really love the show but there are other CW dramas that have much larger and more loyal online (and TV) audiences.
