Veronica Mars: 2.14- Versatile Toppings

Well, every episode of a great TV show cant be perfect and Veronica Mars proved it last night. The words "predictable", "boring" and "WTF" come to mind.

I wish I was familiar with Kristin Cavallari before last night's episode because now every time I see her on another show (and if the TV Gods have any power, this will not happen) I will hiss and scratch at the screen, cursing the bimbo for ruining a perfectly good season of my favorite show with her elementary-school-play method of "acting". Honestly, whoever wanted this girl on VM should be dragged out into the street and pelted with rotten fruit. She was just terrible and I think her performance brought the whole episode down. That's especially sad since last night was a great opportunity for Lost viewers to try the show, since the Island of Crazy was a rerun. Very frustrating indeed.

Admittedly, Kristin is no the only one to blame for Versatile Topping's failure. The writing was just not up to par. IMDb lists John Serge as the culprit, I mean, writer. Yo, John! It's a mystery show. I shouldn't be able to figure out who did the blackmailing in the first act. That's just not how this show works. You should think about watching a couple of episodes...

The episode wasn't a total wash. I know it's not a popular opinion, but I love what's going on with Hannah and Logan. I'm convinced that he is doing everything he can to get close to her so he can use her proximity to Dr. Griffith to his advantage. As long as I can convince myself that Logan has no feelings for her, I'm good. Another high point was Jackie. I love her. I'm sorry, but I do. She brings the witchy snark like it's nobody's business and, with Logan acting like prince charming, the show needs it.

As for the big bus crash reveal that was promised on the promos: meh. Terrence Cook didn't do it and neither did Woody Goodman! It's too obvious. This show is smarter than that! Snap out of it, fans. Do you really think they would reveal the killer this soon in the season? Not a chance.
