The Bitch is Back...and pleased with herself!
So, "Veronica Mars" has ended its run on the CW network with the final episode of season 3, "The Bitch is Back". It was a bittersweet ending for a number of reasons.

First of all, it's hard to handle the fact that it's over, and that we won't be seeing these characters or their stories anymore. As a fan, I went back through all three seasons to watch the whole thing as an unified whole during the last four months or so. The show works pretty well for all that, despite season 3 neglecting to answer any of the lingering questions from the end of the second season. But with that, we've become really attached to Veronica, Wallace, Keith, Mac, Logan and many others...

First of all, the pacing: season 2 was paced very oddly, compared to season 1. Veronica didn't seem to have a lot of motivation in many episodes, and the central mystery - who sabotaged the bus and *why*? - did not seem to drive Veronica most of the time. When she did investigate further, it seemed more out of curiosity than out of any burning desire to clear her or others' names. Now, I understand that part of this attention-deficit on Veronica's part was necessary to distract us in the audience from figuring out what was going on - as in any good mystery, you need to have a lot of red herrings - but in season 2 this seemed to detract from a sense of an overarching storyline.

Also, the stories focussed much more on other characters than previously. While the characters are a big draw for the show - they're all entertaining, with good backstories and engaging...
