Veronica Mars has been spot-on this season: it's still dark and funny and suspenseful, and the tiny little homages to The Big Lebowski don't hurt, either. The recent episode "Lord of the Pi's" contained a wonderful parody of the scene between Brandt and The Dude looking at the wall of photos -- in this case, the role of The Dude was being filled by Keith Mars, one of the best characters on the show. When the abominable sitcom Just Shoot Me was still on, I certainly never imagined I would like Enrico Colantoni as much as I do now.

Other highlights of this season include a snappy send up of stereotypical campus protesters who major in Women's Studies, "The Lilliths;" tongue-in-cheek uses of the word "frak;" and the adorable Chris Lowell as Piz. Isn't Piz the best name?

This week's episode. "Spit and Eggs," was pretty freakin' great, I have to say. It brought a resolution to one of the ongoing cases and launched what I assume will be the next big one. I kind of feel like going back and watching all of my saved episodes, marathon-style. Hmm. I think I have my plan for the evening. If you guys aren't watching this show yet, you should be! I highly reccommend the Season One DVDs.
