I’ve just caught up on the last 3 episodes of Veronica Mars, a teen drama on UPN.  After watching these last episodes, I’ve realized I really like this show and one of my guilty pleasures.  At the moment, it’s the only show I anticipate watching every week.  Of the 175 GB of TV programs I have, it’s the only series I have the complete season to, and plan on watching again later.  It’s not like your typical teen angst, melodrama drama like The O.C.  The only redeeming character on The O.C. is Seth Cohen, who is always ready with witty, pop culture remarks.  That’s the same way with Veronica Mars, portraying a teen as smart and not as a belly bearing, coffee toting shopper.  And I’ll have to say, after these last 3 episodes where Logan and Veronica (aka LoVe in fan forums) hook up, Jason Dohring is my latest TV crush. 

Download a song I’ve been listening to constantly since watching episode 18.  It’s by an Irish band called Something Happens, who incidently sounds a lot like U2.  The song is called "Momentary Thing" and is available for the next 7 days, or first 25 downloads.

Below are some of the show’s dialogue:

Principal: "Mr. Echolls, may I have a word?"
Logan: "’Anthropomorphic.’ It’s all yours, big boy."

Veronica to a paranoid Wallace about getting caught with school records: I have a cyanide capsule in a false tooth. Don’t worry, if I’m caught I’ll do the right thing.

Veronica says to Wallace:
"But if you do it…I promise to be your best friend forever. Come on, Wallace, don’t you want us to be BFFs?"

Logan to his sister Trina: "If you’re coming home, who’ll play Dead Hooker #2 on CSI this week?"

Veronica giving advice: "All you really have to do, Kimberly, is be yourself. Unless, of course, you suck. Then maybe befriend someone who doesn?t and copy them."

Trina: I can’t get him off my back.
Logan: Did you try standing up?

Logan: Ah, mass transit. Why take the bus when you can drive your very own rust bucket? I had my dad’s driver pick it up. Full of fresh stolen parts ready to go.
Veronica: Wow. I’ll just try to keep this little gesture in mind this weekend when you and Dick and the Beaver are off getting blasted scamming cheerleaders (in Cancun).
Logan: Yeah. Actually I had to tell Dick I’m not available because I had other plans.
Veronica: There are cheerleaders with low self esteem available domestically?

Veronica: Do you think we’ll ever be a normal couple? 
Logan: You mean ones that hold hands, go to the mall, and buy each other teddy bears that say, "I wuv you bear-y much?
Veronica: Exactly, but I want my bear won through some demonstration of ring tossing ability.
