Dick and Veronica forever! (DiVe?) Ok, probably not, but let’s all applaud the final moments of the above featurette for entertaining the thought. Alas, Veronica Mars isn’t an eager-to-please brunette. But she is a super-smart private eye, and exactly the kind of person you’d want to go to if you were wanted for murder, which appears to be the case for Logan Echolls. And that brings us to one of the actual points of the unresolved Veronica Mars love LoVe triangle.
The last peek at the film was probably back during Comic-Con, so it’s great to have another reminder that the film is on the way and due to arrive this Spring. Hopefully we’ll hear an actual release date soon.
If your memory’s rusty on where Logan, Veronica and Piz left off when Season 3 of the series wrapped up, Veronica was technically dating Piz, though there was still some spark between her and Logan. After a dirty video of Veronica and Piz made its way online, Logan beat up Piz, believing it was he that leaked the video. He was wrong and Veronica was angry. And then this happened…
Logan learns that the guy who leaked the video is "connected-connected" but that doesn’t stop him from making amends with Veronica by giving the guy a good old-fashioned cafeteria beat-down, complete with spilled food. After expressing amusement and indifference over the kid’s threats — which may or may not have come to fruition in the years since — he sees Piz, gives him a genuine apology and walks away. All the while, Veronica has about seven different facial expressions, all of which say a lot more than words probably ever could. Or maybe it’s just sappy people like me that will interpret her reaction as an indication that she still loves him, even if he isn’t the safe choice when it comes to men.
Of course, the series was cancelled and we never did get to see LoVe reunited. But the optimist in me hopes that by bringing Veronica and Piz back together for the movie, the proper closure will happen. And by proper closure, I mean the film will find some way to finish the story, however it’s meant to end up. If that means Veronica ends up with Logan, well, I’m not complaining.
In more pressing news, Logan’s wanted for murder. That’s not new-news, but the featurette clues us into Sean Friedrich’s involvement. We knew Kevin Sheridan was set to reprise his role as Sean, the guy who tried posing as an ‘09er and got away with it until Veronica busted him for stealing the poker game money and revealed that he’s the son of a butler and not actually wealthy. Sean’s name and face pop up when Veronica’s looking at Logan’s predicament…
Sean’s a music video director? Well, good for him. But it also looks like he’s connected to the murdered girl, which I’m thinking makes him a suspect. But I bet he has an alibi. And I bet it turns out to be a lie. But I also bet Sean still didn’t still didn’t do it. Too obvious.
