but we were only strangers cornered in a dark room

So, I watched the Veronica Mars movies this evening.

And it was honestly really enjoyable, even though it kind of pummeled my heart.

Random thoughts:

• I had such a hard time buying Logan as a military pilot. How did he, with his issues with authority, pass basic? Like, how?


• Veronica as a lawyer makes sense only in the sense that it was something she'd believably go into to try and escape who she really was. But the hardest part of her returning to Neptune was her returning to Nepture with thousands and thousands of dollars in student loans.


• That said, it was just in general really great to see Veronica Mars again.


• And Keith Mars. I am so weak for that father/daughter relationship.


• I loved Weevil growing up and being happily married with a daughter. Not sold on him suddenly going back to his biker roots at the end.


• I loved the whole sequence with Keith getting hit by the car and Logan taking Veronica home and the sex scene. Perfectly scored and so sexy and intense and intimate.


• And that scene where Veronica says she's leaving and then stays and walks out of the house and Logan was just waiting? I had a lot of feelings.


• I've heard this described as an extra-long episode and it really was, in the most complementary way.

Yep, I didn't have any problems with like, the timing contrivances, but Logan in the military was like, 'what now?'

Yeah! I've been thinking over the past week about how few good father/daughter relationships there are on the shows I'm watching now.

In my mind, it is a CRIMINALLY under-used dynamic.
