ReWatchable is here for another episode! We continue our recaps of Veronica Mars in this episode, where we cover 1×03 “Meet John Smith” and 1×04 “The Wrath of Con.”

Shownotes:

-We promise that we're not sponsored by Warner Brothers.

-Mitch and Ariana bash on Veronica Mars for their unrealistic driving.

-The transgendered storyline was handled extremley well for an early 2000s show.

-Veronica's scene with her mother's friend was some of the best acting we've seen on the show so far.

-So what in the world is Veronica's mother up to?

-Mitch asks some important logistic questions, like about who is belived to be Lilly's killer at this point?

-Ariana makes a breakthrough comparison to Kim Possible.

-Troy's continuing to be sketchy AND he's not on the DVD box, further incriminating him.

-Veronica's voiceovers worked well for the pilot, but they're slowly starting to die down as we get to know her a bit more.

-We compare Veronica Mars to Aaron Sorkin's writing in that we always care for characters.

-Duncan's relaxed attitude as he went off his meds for a while on 1x03 was really fun.

-The Lilly hallucination was eerie, but revealed just the right amount of her personality. Why was Duncan seeing her at all?

-We were really excited that the voice of Penny Proud from The Proud Family, Kyla Pratt, played Georgia in 1x04.

-Veronica's multiple personas in this episode made this one of the best episodes of the show ever, according to our super fan.

-Lilly is the anti-"beautiful corpse," which Ariana explains from an English major's viewpoint.

-We really liked the Lilly flashbacks, because they showed that she wasn't the good girl that the memorial tried to show.

-We loved Gamergirl as a personality so much!

ReWatchable is here for another episode! We're starting our recaps of Veronica Mars in this episode, where we cover 1x01 "Pilot" and 1x02 "Credit Where Credit is Due."

Shownotes:

-We discuss the intricacies of the pilot, and how Veronica's hair and outfits define new scenes and different periods of time.

-The intro song "We Used to Be Friends" has a great ironic tone for Veronica Mars.

-We rediscuss our Pretty Little Liars comparisons.

-The pilot worked great as a story independent of the show itself.

-Is Veronica a likable lead? Can we forgive her for her lying, stealing, and cheating?

-Duncan came off as a token brooding teen in the pilot, but thankfully, there's more to him than meets the eye.

-Is Veronica's dad a good parent? Where should he draw lines for her allowances?

-Almost all of us love Logan. What were his motives behind smashing Veronica's headlights?

-Wallace's hair is full of love and hugs.

-Weevil is a likable bad guy, who's very witty for a biker gang member.

-The gang violence in the show can be disturbing, showing that Veronica Mars will go there.

-Who's Veronica's rapist? Heavy accusations are made against Troy.

-While going through 1x01 favorite lines, Mitch realizes that Mars fits into the word marshmallow.

-The class differences that are bridged in 1x02 are very relieving and mostly unheard of in television.

-The importance of family is something tackled in 1x02, with Weevil's humanity put on the line during the gang beatup scene.

-Paris Hilton was in 1x02, and played a rich girl — imagine that! She was good for what they needed her for, but it's unlikely that we'll see characters like her again.

-Duncan's mother overacts to everything involving Duncan, but the superfans swear that it's for good reason.

-Pretty Little Liars was the egg to Veronica Mars' chicken.

-We discuss some pretty amazing pilot facts.
