locker_monsterUnless by some miracle the CW realizes it has no good TV shows left, tonight was the last episode of Veronica Mars. I can't claim I was a fan right from the first episode, kind of hard to be when no one in Canada was showing the first season, but the show grew on me and who could deny that it wasn't awesome. Heck, it's endorsed by Joss Whedon himself. Who can deny that? :-D
Every fan, I'm sure, is wishing and hoping the CW will change their minds and I hope so to. It's not like Veronica Mars can hop networks though. No one else airs a show like it. But maybe a TV movie? I'd go for that.
I really wish the CW had given the writers some advance warning. I'm not really sure how Rob Thomas could have ended the show. It's not like Veronica was battling demons or gearing up to move to such and such city to follow her dreams. They did bring back Jake Kane and all the emotional baggage he comes with, but it didn't seem like enough. Another reference to Lilly besides Veronica being aghast at her friend's portrait would have been nice, just to tie it all back to the beginning. But I get that the writers didn't know if they were being renewed or not so I don't blame them. Seems to be a lot of that going around lately.
Who knows if Veronica Mars would have survived its FBI school makeover. I think as long as the show stayed about being a young woman solving crimes and trying to make sense of her barely ordinary life then the transition wouldn't have been too bad. At least this episode featured one of the best relationships on the show, in my opinion: Keith and Veronica. Their father/daughter relationship felt very realistic to me. Unlike most families on TV, they weren't yelling at each other in every episode. I liked that Keith was devoted to his daughter; it's been right there since season one. He even goes as far as tampering with evidence in this episode. It seems doubtful Keith would have won the election after doing so, but they kept the Mars Investigations office so it's not a stretch to think that Keith would go back to being a P.I. even after Veronica goes off to train to be an FBI agent.

I thought tonight's episode was great, just not the last thing I ever want to see.
