A long time ago, we used to be friends... The Veronica Mars pilot aired 20 years ago today- on the 22nd of September, 2004.

i don’t think anyone understands logan and veronica like i do, they say logan is toxic and bad and ok he may be! but you think veronica doesn’t like it? you don’t think she’s worse??????????? it’s one of the things that attracts her actually, it’s like what logan said when he beat the shit out of piz (not saying it was right, it was very bad and uncool) that he took justice it’s the rule that they live by. that veronica lives by. and the end of the season 3 just resume everything, she smiling at him after he beat another guy… that’s kind of their connection, a lot of history and a lot in common.

i'm not saying i dress to match the shows I'm watching but halfway through my Only Murders in the Building rewatch I have busted out the black tights, boots and soft sweaters it is definitely still way too warm for and the big earrings, heavy eyeliner and short skirts I never wear so

i guess i'm also not not saying that

The Veronica Mars pilot is really like here's all the ways this girl's life is fucked up

Who me? No I’m SUPER normal about this moment. Not at all insane about the way he locks in his grip on her when he starts talking because he knows that will give him away and he wants to hold her as long as humanly possible and he literally waits until she says to let go and then does so instantly IM FINE when all he’s likely wanted to do for months is just hold her and he gets five whole seconds 😭😭😭 it’s literally so embarrassing how much this moment effects me during EVERY rewatch like OMG THEY TOUCHED AGAIN AHHH !!!

one tree hill simultaneously the best show ever and also full of CrimesTM. standard experience for a CW show. i wish more ppl actually watched early 2000s network television. then maybe they'd understand why spn is Like That sometimes and that it's Not a unique phenomenon and in fact, in comparison to many of its contemporaries, spn was tame on the early-2000s-problems of it all.

Ive seen the take that people seem to move on from fandoms a lot faster these days than they did in the past and I was thinking about it because it's definitely true of me and part of it I think is the fact my attention span has not been helped by the constant onslaught of new things All The Time, like it's definitely an aspect- droppingentire tv shows that I once would have watched over months a week at a time, games with 100+ hours of content being speed ran within a day of release but I also just think fandom spaces have started operating more like businesses? Like if you're a gifmaker or an artist or a writer or even someone who just blogs about it, you're sort of expected to be up to date on all the new details immediately and if you aren't well be prepared to get spoiled within days of the new game/movie/episodes/books being released because that's just how it is now- so maybe you aren't quite in the mindset to read that book right away but you also don't want to miss out so you force yourself and then end up getting a little burnt out on the series sooner and moving on to something new- it almost starts to feel like work- Oh I have to clock in and make X, Y, or Z as soon as possible or all my friends and followers of that thing will move on without me- like everything is so fast you just end up getting burnt out easily and moving on to something new much faster than in the past.

Doing a little season 3 rewatch of Veronica Mars to make sure things line up right in The Backup and oh boy . . .

So many of my lingering complaints immediately resurfaced there's also stuff I had forgotten about (and even some stuff that rewatching is like "oh, they were actually doing a thing") but here's a couple thoughts four episodes in:

The cast is still too jam packed, the years haven't changed my opinion on that, and it makes so many things seem forced or spread thin.

Some of this is things like spending all this time of Dick but (after an initial episode where it seemed like maybe he was going to have some actual character arc following what happened in season 2) just having him be the same old Dick. Some of it is trying so hard to make Piz matter or whatever. Some of it is no one's plotlines actually truly entertwining.

And you can definitely see the fanservicing rounding off of Logan's character happening, but hot damn I forgot I missed him. Like Rose Tyler of Doctor Who, the fannish monomania over the years has made me reflexively flinch from his very name but Logan is so damned compelling. He's so wounded and self loathing, messy, but also somehow still so tender. A victim of so much loss and abuse and he does fucked up shit and Veronica is right not to trust him sometimes, but he's also just such a damned woobie (I have not used that term in so long I almost forgot it) in the way that is so addictive (and destructive because the impulse is always ultimately to lose all the things that actually make that vulnerability interesting in the interests of saccharine perfection.

My boy, Weevil. I weep. I scream. I tear my hair. I dream of Mars, Mars, & Navarro Investigations. He's flawed and he's angry and he makes mistakes, but Eli Navarro is also so smart, dogged, insightful. He hates injustice, drugs, and abuse. He's crazy hyper competent. want someone to figure out the truth, fix the body of your car, get the AC working? He can do any of that with a facility you didn't ask for or expect. (Maybe don't have him take your phone calls though, at least not without some actual training.) And what does he really want? A chance. The opportunity to do something that matters. Someone to look at him and see something of value (because he sure doesn't right now).

Which really should have been the through line of this season and these characters. Logan is terrified of being his dad, of actually trying and failing at college, of being alone. Weevil is trying to keep his head down and get by, but it is humiliating and awful and he wants so much to prove he is more than that. Like both of them, Mac is afraid she's broken, that she can't move past what happened with Cassidy, that she doesn't know how to be close to anyone. Dick should be confronting the fact that what happened with his brother and dad did shake him and he's not impervious. Wallace's half assed plot line about struggling to maintain both school and basketball could have been so much more about the transition from high school and college and worrying that you aren't actually special or good enough. Even Keith is doubting his judgement, as a professional and as a father to a certain extent. And Veronica, Veronica is afraid that she can't move on: can't trust, can't hold on to friendships, can't move past her high school relationship. But I know that the show doesn't actually go there with any of these plotlines, so to speak. It doesn't have time to, nor does it want to.
