For me the stakes of the film were more about Veronica’s relationship with Neptune (and Logan was part of that.) Your comment about what is best for her vs. what is most interesting is spot on. Like others have said above, the uniform on Logan looked rather silly at first. I thought him joining the military made sense overall, but those dress whites were a bit much for his first scene. Even one of the less ostentatious uniforms would have been an improvement.

Loved the film overall and all the characters they were able to bring back. One of my favorite comedic lines: “Words with friends?” “Some people call it texting.”

THIS. I have long said that if Veronica were my friend, I would want Piz, and New York, and all that good stuff for her. But she isn’t my friend! I can want her to do the worst possible thing (move back to Neptune, give broken Logan a chance at wholeness with her, fix the injustices of Neptune one dirty cop at a time) for her because it makes for an excellent Netflix series that I would watch forever and ever amen.

You’re right about Paul Newman. I actually went and looked at pictures and you have the rightness.

I really, really liked the movie. It was like some of the X-Files movies in being very like a long, satisfying episode. Poor Piz; he was like the Mars series Lloyd Dobler and he didn’t belong. We knew it couldn’t last.

I had a “really?” reaction with Logan in the military, but Jeanne’s and your comments above have won me over. Besides, I can’t think of anything else he’d do better. Surfing instructor? Special guest on The Wild Kratts?

Dohring. Then Francis Capra (of course he would lean on a motorbike but I think he still gets to be in the race).

Ok the big thing I want from this Netflix series is to see Mac work through her problems with being employed by Caine. Just giving you a heads up for when you start getting Rob Thomas involved 😀

In reply to Julia. Hahahahaha, okay, yeah, you're making good points. Those are two different kinds of lean. I maybe stacked the decks against Jason Dohring on this one.

In reply to Athira. Yes, you should change that! It's an awfully good show.

Fun! Make sure to come back here later and tell me what you thought of it!

I feel like you misunderstood the contest. It’s not a contest of who has been the best at leaning against cars ever in the history of people. You have to choose one of the above two!

(Paul Newman, btw. Over Robert Redford. Every time.)

In reply to Stephanie. Hahahahaha, is Deadwood-era Timothy Olyphant better? I haven't watched it yet so I can only speculate.

In reply to Jeanne. That seemed totally fair to me also! I thought that although it seemed at first like a slightly cartoonish development, it actually makes sense. It's the family money thing, the adrenaline thing, and also the thing where you know Logan just likes saving people and feeling like a hero.

In reply to Care. Hi! Also, yeah, Timothy Olyphant can come lean on my car any time he wants. It's kind of boxy, though, so he might not find it comfortable. Neptune's the town. Oh, you should watch Veronica Mars properly! It's awfully good.
