Veronica Mars Investigations

VMI 3.01 Welcome Wagon

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

College! Veronica’s outsmarting her professors, driving a new car, and getting drunk. Conveniently, Logan, Wallace, Mac and Dick are also all at Hearst College.
Along with new roommates/friends: bland white boy Piz, who hires Veronica to find all his worldly possessions, which have been stolen by a fake welcome committee; and Parker, who is punished for being a popular and fun-loving sexperson character by becoming the latest victim of the campus rapist who struck in season 2, and is still attacking women and shaving their heads.
Keith, meanwhile, is picking up Cormac Fitzpatrick from prison and taking him to a desert safe house to reunite with Kendall Casablancas.
Being a Fitzpatrick, though, he’s a violent jerk; so, Kendall is murdered, and Keith might be also. TBD.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 3 episode 1: Welcome Wagon, and consider such mysteries as whether Logan is right that it wasn’t possible to make Veronica more butch, why Lucky the dead season 2 janitor has turned up as an academic in a terrrrrible wig, and when Dick Casablancas learned to cartwheel. Plus we reunite with some old friends: tiny jackets, Brigadoon references, the black and white argyle shirt, and an actual Chekhov’s Gun!

VMI 1.11: Silence of the Lamb

A LONG TIME AGO, ON VERONICA MARS:

A serial killer is on the loose, strangling young women with guitar strings.
But because the victims are “party girls”, Sheriff Lamb’s not too bothered about investigating.
Luckily, Keith Mars IS bothered! He’s on the case! And he’s wearing a suit!
Meanwhile, Veronica is investigating high schoolers’ parents - and discovers shocking information about her friend Mac.
But to cheer her up, she’s got a new friend, Leo, to extract favours from - her favourite thing.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars Season 1 Episode 11: Silence of the Lamb, and get stuck into such mysteries as: why does this episode hate guitarists SO MUCH? What’s Jenny’s connection with Girls Gone Wild? And what’s so bad about nachos??
