okay i havent watched vm in so long & was trying to find time to watch the 4th season but your post & that gifset just gave me a giant No Thank You, It Sucks. like wtf, what did they dO TO HER, & LOGAN??????
YEAH. YEAH. ITâSâŠ.. ITâS BAD.
Like, there was so much about Veronica in particular during season 4 that I didnât like. And it was lowkey super uncomfortable because sheâs my favorite character and I had to keep doing harder and more complex mental gymnastics to get around the things I did not like, but I was willing to do it because I thought the season was gonna ultimately be about Veronica growing up, realizing her attitude didnât work and was losing her the people she cared about. I thought it was going somewhere.
Things like Veronica looking at her boyfriend, someone she knew had a whole shitton of trauma and who struggled with anger management issues and who had gone through a whole lot to fix himself long before she came back into his life and then likeâŠ. deliberately provoking him into getting angry enough to put his fist through a cabinet which apparently turned her on because she liked him better like that???? Like, she was getting angry at him for having reasonable, measured responses to what was going on, she wanted angry mal-adjusted Logan back and tbh at that point in that episode (âŠ. i wanna say ep 4 or ep 5) I had to walk away for a while because it made me feel vaguely ill. But I thought she was going to learn from that and realize that it was a good thing her boyfriend was getting therapy and fixing his issues and calming down (all things which, before heâd done them, had ultimately caused their relationship to fall apart back in season 3).
There were other things, too (like the drinking episode, and Veronicaâs sex dream with Leo whichâŠ.ugh), and they were getting harder and harder to ignore but then, but thenâŠ. Veronica accepted Loganâs proposal. And I thought finally, weâre getting the pay-off, it wasnât all for nothing, itâll be ok. And then they got married (after a pointless and honestly cruel gag where Veronica, Wallace, and Keith all immediately assumed Logan was leaving her at the altar via text because one of his texts didnât send and frankly that shouldâve been the final straw for me but I still naively hoped it would all serve a purpose), and I think I knew, about half a minute before it happened, what was coming. But I was in denial until the car Logan got in blew up.
Actually, I was in denial for the rest of the episode, and right up until the one year later time skip where it was confirmed Logan was dead I was positive he hadnât actually died, because the way the scene was framed and shot was like any other show where someone âdiesâ in a car bomb except it cuts away with enough time for the victim to get away. There are still people who believe Logan somehow escaped and would come back in another season, but Rob Thomas said that Logan needed to die so that Veronica could go back to being a PI, solving mysteries, and âdoing that with a boyfriend or a husband just felt less interesting, less sexy, less noir.â (his exact words, from this interview and honestly, iâm still seeing red about it) Proving that not only does he not know what noir really is, he doesnât know who Veronica is.
AnywayâŠâŠ.yeah, just. Save yourself the pain. The entire series is on Hulu and I really, genuinely hope that some day I can go back and watch the original series without this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach, because the first two seasons especially were so amazing and still stand up as some of the best hours of television Iâve ever seen in my life.
But right now, itâs all tainted, and I hate it so much I can barely breathe.
