Veronica's Back Tonight! Some Scoop and Speculation
Veronica’s back! We’ve been dying to see her return. We can’t wait to see how the Dean O’Dell death mystery plays out. Was it the wife? The criminology professor? A bookie? A disgruntled student? Colonel Mustard? Miss Scarlett? Only time – and Veronica and Keith – will tell.
Plus there are all the other questions – what happened to Mercer and Moe after Logan joined them in the cell? How are Veronica and Logan going to deal with the fallout from their failed relationship? Will Piz take the plunge and ask Veronica out – and will she say yes? And will we finally see more of Mac and Wallace in the second mystery arc?
We got some hints of what’s to come from a long, loooong interview with VM creator Rob Thomas on Television Without Pity. There are some mild spoilers, so don’t read ahead if you don’t want to know!
According to Thomas, the Dean O’Dell mystery will play out more like a classic Agatha Christie tale: “[W]hereas all our big mysteries so far have been detective, detective, detective, detective, THRILLER in the finale, this one's going to be more of a true parlor-game mystery. We start shooting the finale tomorrow, and it's not going to be Veronica being chased around with a knife,” Thomas said. I’m sure Veronica will be relieved to hear it.
And we can expect to see more of Veronica’s famous fans, including Paul Rudd in episode 17. “He's gonna do it in a British accent, and play the singer/co-songwriter of a band that was big in the mid-'90s, and now he's out on the road solo, and sort of self-loathing.” We can’t wait.
Finally, about Mac: Yes, we’ll be seeing more of her, along with Wallace, Piz and Dick. “Tina's in all of the last five episodes. Parker is somebody we've used more, so she's only in two, but I think we've got Piz and Wallace in all of our final ones. So we did a pretty good job of spacing those out -- I think we've got Dick for all of them as well.”
What are you looking forward to for the rest of the season? Are you excited about the Dean O’Dell mystery, or are you more looking forward to the stand-alone mysteries of the final third of the season? Share in the comments!

I can't wait for the rest of the episodes this season. Are they going to have a new murder for the last 1/3 of the season? I really hope so. Does anyone know yet if this is going to be the final season; that would be awful.

Season one was the best. I was little iffy on season two but season three is majorly disappointing. It feels like any other regular teen show now with all the scandals and lame, dramatic twists. I'm also very biased because I rather like this couple, but I hate how the writers constantly switch it back and forth between Veronica and Logan. Either keep them apart or have them stay together; stop playing with our heartstrings.

I've only seen a couple episodes of Veronica Mars, and while it isn't 'appointment TV' for me, it's comparative intelligence versus other 'college/highschool dramas' was very refreshing. Good to see that.

I want the Dean O'Dell mystery badly! The last episode ended in a perfect place. I'm so excited to see what happens next. I like how the whole O'Dell storyline from adultery to murder is based in a great Noir style that we didn't get to see much of in Season 2. So I'm pumped to see where they go with all that. I'm excited also just to get back into the whole college world at Hearst, to see mac and parker and stay invested in the Veronica/Logan storyline. AWESOME, AWESOME SHOW!

I love Veronica Mars. It is one of the best shows ever! I'm really excited to see what happened to the Dean! I also hope Logan and Veronica get back together because I love them together! I will be so sad if they dont get back together!
