Ye I got VM on 2 discs,watched 22 eps in 4 days I was so hooked! lol

Arrested Development is brilliant as well,they do a great Star Wars kid skit in season 2,I was laughing my ass off.

It's no surprise the wrapped it up quite well. They probably had no way of knowing if the show would get picked up for a second series.

Ye it will,but on the other hand it would have gotten annoying if the Lily Kane Murder Mystery was dragged out for a long time. The story over the whole season was very well done.

Ok so ive just seen episode 18, while being very surprised bout veronica's actions (i shall spoil not) im even more surprised about the inclusion of a something happens song - momentary thing! woo yeah!
like... wtf? did it just fall into an obscure music time warp? the song rocks tho...

For those of you still interested in seeing this fantastic show..

'Veronica Mars' will start on 3 October in the UK on LivingTV. It will be shown, daily, at 6pm.

Hmmmmm.... not to spoil too much but considering the fact the first episode alone features murder, rape and drug paraphenalia, ye will probably see about 30 minutes of a 42 minute show!

Do yourself a favour: buy the Region 1 DVD!

Balls. This doesn't bode well. Joan of Arcadia started off in a slot like this recently and was moved back. I never watched it but I did notice that. Plus if this is how a digital station treats it, it won't lead to the likes of the Beeb or C4 taking it very seriously. Hopefully TG4 will buy this and give it a good slot...

Finally finished watching the first series, and am also wondering what on earth they can do to make a second series worth hanging around for.
While KB was a fantastic lead throughout, I felt many of the supporting cast were very poor, and despite the well-paced central thread, a lot of the B-stories came close to ruining the series, especially around the middle. There are still a few things that just don't add up

how on earth are we supposed to believe Leo is only 19 and vice sheriff? just what happened to make Veronica and Logan click? Weevil's whole wiseass/dumbass character; what exactly is the attraction to that multimillioniare dullard Duncan? How is Veronica dual-booting Xp and Mac OS on that latptop?

Ummm...well I thought it was great tbh,the B-stories will always be a part of it,like the Dead Zone,they go with single stories then Stillson,then single stories and back to Stillson. When the B episodes are very good,it works,and I think they were great on VM.

I think the Duncan guy can't act, and I thought

the ep where Logan and Veronica hooked up was a dream! lol I was tired, Randy from Home Improvment was some kind of agent,Veronica's dad and Wallace's mam hooked up...and for some reason I thought the ep would end up being all a dream

which it didnt! lol

and speaking of Wallace,I think he is probably the best of the supporting cast,but they seem to under use him a bit.

Have been wondering how season 2 of Veronica can match one of the best long-running season arcs for years (by comparison, the Desperate Housewives mystery seems very weak and simplistic). Veronica Mars' first season managed the right balance, I thought, between B-stories (none of which were uninteresting) and giving us tidbits on the Lily Kane murder.

I was quite pleased with the resolution, but they could still have sown more seeds for a season two mystery. If this show doesn't get another long-running one, I think the week-to-week plots may get irksome.

Agree they need to bring in Wallace much more. And for the other secondary characters (Logan, Duncan, Weevil) - they lose an element of our interest in that none of them are any longer potentials for having killed Lily. The writers will need to find new ways to tie them into Veronica's newest mystery.

All that said, I'm glad they didn't stretch out the Lily Kane murder into a second year. It was wise to ensure it had a tidy wrap-up. However, too most of its other plots were wrapped up neatly as well:

Veronica's paternity, her mother's return...

I'm glad they left a few things in there:

Logan's mother, Logan's own standing on the bridge, who turned up at Veronica's door

to keep us guessing for a few months.

Hope the show can rediscover that magic in season two. Whedon is right - this one had cult written all over it in season one. Here's hoping season two is half as good.

Speaking of Whedon,when asked if he would like to write an ep,he said "they are doing fine without me!",but he will guest star in episode 6.

Just finished watching the season thanks to the cousins. Nice show. Didn't much care for the slightly hollywood ending, and they underused Weevil something awful, but nice little cliffhanger, and as doh says above, there are still a couple of issues outstanding, and I'm glad that they solved the mystery of

Veronica's 'rape'

Looking forward to next season.
