Veronica!

May 04

I need to talk for a second about how ass-kickingly awesome Veronica Mars is right now. Aaron Echolls? Not guilty? WOW. I think a lot of shows would have cast that character off right after season one: he’s the bad guy, he did it, ace girl detective Veronica can prove it! He’s going to jail, right? And he’ll never be heard from again, right? Well, no. Because everything in Veronica’s world is more complicated than that. And because Harry Hamlin is really, really — no freakin’ joke! — good.

I would also like to give Kristen Bell an Emmy based solely on her reaction to Wallace getting shot — that little gasp/sob thing was beautiful. And I love how Veronica instinctively shielded Gia during the chaos — maybe they’ll give her a class protector award at graduation.

I can’t wait for next week’s season finale (here already? Dang). And then the third season on The CW, because that is totally happening, right Dawn Ostroff?
