'Community' Renewed For Season 4 On NBC
Veronica Mars: Debasement Tapes
(S03E17) Y'know, these mini-mysteries (minsteries?) are growing on me. It's quite possible that not having to worry about a longer and larger storyline gives the writers more time to concentrate on some of the other aspects that make (or made) this show great. Hell, even the relationships are done pretty well -- from me, that's saying something.
In case you didn't notice, Paul Rudd made his appearance in this episode, and a good appearance it was. Heck, the man had some of the best lines of the episode, where -- once again -- Logan takes a backseat. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but Id rather see Piz on the show than Logan at this point. Yikes! Give that boy something to do for crying out loud. And make it fun/funny.
I don't know about you, but a band would have a lot of balls to try calling itself "My Pretty Pony" and, on top of that, be successful. Does anyone know if the band was based on a real band that's around today? I definitely felt the Beatles vibe going on that Keith was talking about.
I made the mistake last week of saying that we had a full reunion of all the key characters from the season, but as was pointed out in the comments, Weevil was missing. He's got an appearance coming up before the season's over, but he's been missed. I can only hope that, should this show get picked up again, it will take place years in the future where Weevil's not a lowly (by his standards) custodian at Hearst. (Note: News is that the chances of the show getting picked up again are better now, as it may be taking a very different turn and retooling.)
Vinnie Van Lowe is one of my favorite characters from the show, and I knew as soon as Keith saw him through the camera lens that he was going to make a play for Sheriff of Neptune. It's definitely a cool twist, and I'm going to put money on Vinnie winning that election. The series does better with Keith as a PI, and to have him as Sheriff again next season would be ... boring.
Oh, and if you're racking your brain like I was over who Grace is, she's Suzanne Cryer of Two Guys, A Girl And A Pizza Place. OK, maybe it was just me.
Seeing Leo back as a deputy is great, and he's looking a lot less dorky. With Piz and possibly Logan pining for Veronica, do I smell a third suitor coming into the mix? Believe it or not, Piz may be warming up to me, but just a tiny bit.
Just for the Vinnie Van Lowe portion of the episode alone, I'm giving this episode a five on the TV Squad seven scale.
Quote(s) of the episode:
Desmond Fellows (to Piz): "Hey, Fez."
(later) Desmond (to Piz): "Hey, Pus."
(later) Desmond (to Piz): "Hey Plax."
(later) Desmond (to Piz): "Hey Pez."
(later) Desmond (to Piz): "Buzz!"
(later) Desmond (to Piz): "La Paz, capitol of Boliva -- get real, man."
