VERONICA MARS (10/5/05 episode)

I’ll admit that I was a little underwhelmed by the big season premiere. It was still clever and snarky but there was just too much going on. Plus, I didn’t buy the whiplash Logan/Duncan love switch. It made Veronica seem too needy- like she had to be with someone, regardless of whether it was believable.

The second episode was much stronger. The “Logan sinks back into his bad old ways” plotline looks promising. That Kendall Casablancas affair is going to get ugly (I hope). Nice to see Wallace getting a sniff of some play, even if the girl looks like trouble. Nice also to see Kristin Datillo getting a little work. The Whedon-Buffy-Angel connections seem to even have rivulets that finger out to guest-starring roles. And any epsiode that ends to the strains of a Pixies tune deserves The Rant's respect.
