Ryan Hansen’s character, Dick Casablancas, was not originally meant to be a series regular. He was first cast for the second episode, as a nameless, rich Neptune resident with one line (“Logan!”). Hansen was cast purely for his ‘good hair.’ |
Here are some great lines from various characters:
Logan: You’re usually so good at pop quizzes. No, the correct answer is my car. That’s right. My Daddy took my T-Bird away. And you know what I won’t be having. Fun, fun, fun.
Keith: How’s about an early peek at one of your Christmas presents?
Veronica: What about our strict “Christmas morning only” rule?
Keith: This Christmas, we make our own rules. Follow me!
Veronica:I’m so impressed you fit a pony into my room!
Dick Casablancas: Dude, what the hell are you doing? Please tell me this is like some reality show called “My Skank.”
Check out this compilation video of some of Veronica’s most quotable moments.
Veronica Mars had almost as many emotional moments as it did funny ones. There is the scene between Duncan and Veronica we mentioned earlier, there is Logan preparing Lilly’s memorial video, Veronica fighting for her life against Lilly’s killer, and Mac finding out she was switched at birth. So picking one moment isn’t easy.
Throughout all three seasons many of the emotional moments stemmed from Logan and Veronica’s on again, off again relationship. Initially the only emotion the two shared was revulsion but over time things started to simmer below the surface leading to an epic and shocking kiss.
As the series progressed, it seemed each time something drastic happened to the Logan or Veronica the other was there to support them. When Logan mom’s died Veronica helped him investigate, when Logan was beat up on the bridge Veronica held him, when Veronica thought her dad died Logan held her and when someone releases a sex tape of Veronica and Piz Logan beats the guy up even though it is a dangerous choice.
The emotions between Veronica and Logan are intense, even when the two aren’t together the emotions still play into the story line.
The biggest twist of the series had to come at the end of season 2 when it was revealed that Cassidy ‘Beaver’ Casablancas was the killer. Even more horrifying was when he admitted to actually raping Veronica.
Throughout season 2, the big mystery was who sabotaged the bus and why. It took Veronica a long time to figure out what was really going on and once she did she was put in danger. Beaver had intentions of killing both Veronica and her father.
As Veronica confronts Beaver on the roof top of the hotel she sees an airplane blow. Beaver explains that it was the plane her father was on and Veronica breaks down. Beaver then expects Veronica to throw herself of the building to make things easier for him.
Beaver Cassablancas was introduced in the first season specifically as a set up to be the big bad of season 2. |
Nothing Beaver does is excusable but at the same time he was a victim too. Veronica is struggling to fight Beaver and in the end she manages to contact Logan who helps her. In the end Beaver jumps off the roof and you feel for Dick who has no idea his family is so broken. At the same time you watch Veronica breakdown over the supposed loss of her father.
The episode was emotionally draining and shocking for so many reasons we had to name it the biggest twist of the series although a very close second would be who killed Lilly Kane.
Veronica Mars the complete series is available to stream through Amazon.com, if you are a prime member you can watch it for free. It is also available for purchase through Amazon and several other retailers.
This may be a fandom flashback but Veronica Mars fans are extremely lucky because this week the Veronica Mars Movie hits the big screen. It isn’t very often fans get a second chance to see how their favorite characters evolved after the show ended. Take a look at the opening scene from the film.
