    This is arguably one of the best episodes of Veronica Mars. The episode is surprising and at the same time is exactly what you (as a viewer) have been waiting for. The episode makes you feel a wide variety of emotions, and always leaves you in suspense of what is to come. The moment with Veronica and Logan begins their tumultuous relationship in the one of the most amazing scenes of the series. The rest of the story line does not disappoint either. The suspense brought upon by the bomb threats at school and the danger Veronica finds herself in constantly keep you guessing and unsure of what is to come. It is one of the prime examples of why this series was so spectacular because it gave its viewers a little bit of everything.moreless

    If you had told me before the episode that very little attention would be paid to the Lily Kane murder case then I would have told you that this epsiode was going to be placed in the wrong section of the season. I really felt that taking time off from a storyline which was getting so much steam would have been a huge mistake on apart of the writers.

    I was wrong. This episode is a stand out episode of Season one for me, though nothing this season has given me the "perfect" satisfaction at the end of the episode just yet. Duncan and Veronica arguing and then Duncan leaving was the only real attention paid to the Lily Kane murder case in this episode. And while it was a small scene, it does make you wonder why Duncan did what he did. With only four episodes left in the season this episode really sets the tone for the remaining episodes down the stretch. The kiss between Logan and Veronica was very unexpected. I didnt think that there relationship was ever going to get to this level. Reading some of the reviews it seemed like everyone kind of saw it coming. Maybe because I took a two month break in between 15 and 16 I just forgot about all of there devolopment in the season to that point. Very interesting because I didnt see Veronica making out with Logan (Duncans best friend) while she was dating the cop guy. Im not sure if they are like official boyfriend and girlfriend, but thats the way it certainly comes off.

    The case in this one was more serious then in episodes past and I think they wrote it very well to bring in the Logan / Veronica payoff in the middle of the episode. Very interested to see where everything goes from here.moreless

    I love this episode! The primary story line is good and who doesn't love bomb threat to a school to bring out a little crazy in everyone. Jonathan Taylor Thomas is amazing and it's good to see him on TV again, his character is conniving and will do whatever it takes to succeed, but he should of known not to mess with Veronica Mars. The part where she is investigating Pete is hilarious and the Busty Blonds magazine is hilarious. He's perfect as the gentle giant who tried to protect Veronica last year. Then when it is revealed that Keith and Alicia are dating it is hilarious and they make a good couple.
    But the reason that I really love this episode is the first kiss between Logan and Veronica. They've been hinting at it all season, but when it happened I was still shocked and the moment is so sweet and great, that you really want them to end up together. A great episode.moreless

    A very good episode that sets up the stage for new storylines.
    The episode had 2 key scenes for me. First Duncan and Veronica arguing. I liked how Duncan suddenly got angry over Veronica's really subtle hint that he's one of the possible killers. Even he realized I think that he may have done something because he doesn't remember a thing.

    The actors were really great there, I was especially surprised at Teddy Dunn's performance. He was really giving his A - game there. Duncan's storyline was pretty short(he ran away after the arguement leaving Meg and V and his whole family wondering where is he) but it was efficient. The main mystery of the episode was really cool, and had a very satisfied ending. I thought the whole school bombing thing would be cheesy but to my surprise there wasn't any bomb actually, just a smart con. When Veronica's "abducted" by the FBI agent, and Logan came to the rescue I was really sensing that suddenly the relationship between Veronica and Logan is going to be taken to a whole new level and I was right. They kissed. This was the second key scene for me.

    In the first half of the season ,they were mostly seperately developed expect for the flashbacks. Then when Logan asked Veronica to help him to find his mother they bonded a bit. And now they kissed. I'm not a kind of person who's into shipping but oh man that was a perfect moment. Despite them being REALLY different, they do really fit together. Awesome chemistry and... it just felt right.

    Now this love rombus though is very unsettling. Leo+Duncan+Logan-Veronica.. oh and I almost forgot Meg. Luckily these writers are smart enough to handle it in an unsoap-ish manner. Only after watching this episode for the second time I did realize there was hardly any Keith scenes. I kinda missed them but the episode worked well without him. Him hooking up with Wallace's mom is interesting. But right now it only adds more layers to the friendship between Wallace and Veronica. Which is awesome. One thing I loved about the episode is the ending. I liked the teacher standing up for what she believed was right. She got fired but definitely felt good about it.

    Overall, really cool episode! No progress on the murder case apart from Duncan's runaway, but it worked just fine without any further developments.moreless

    This episode was great , it was adventurous and exciting.
    Loved he start ...first with a kiss and just after that keith s secret relationship with alissia...
    veronica s investigation for the school newspaper was such a hit. the bomp thret was a very good case especially with
    all the funny scenes such as the one in Mr Clemons office after the publishing of the story...
    the violent outburst of dunkan... well not violent but it was an outburst, anyway it lead us in the conclusion that dunkan was the murderer.!
    anyway my best part is when veronica is following the undercover detective and when she is in danger logan popos up and saves the day!! well saved veronice but thats another issue...
    my favourite moment was when logan and veronica kiss
    there sure was chemistry. it was great i never saw it coming.. well i did but i didin t think it would be so soon... another funny moment is when "bomp"boy hits on veronice !! it was hillarious!!!
    as always she solved the case she broke some hearts and left as a lot of questions.!.!.!moreless

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Veronica: Exxxxcellent. Veronica channels the weasel-faced, amoral megalomaniac Mr. Burns from The Simpsons, as she hacks into Norris' Wi-Fi computer with just the right inflection and gesture of that character's favorite expression. Of course, what's excellent for Mr. Burns is never excellent for anyone else and hence his place in popular culture as the epitome of corporate America. Edit
    • Veronica: Ever see the first ten minutes of 2001: A Space Odyssey? It was a lot like that. In 1968, Stanley Kubrick's version of Arthur C. Clarke's short story hit cinema screens to the praise of critics and the confusion of much of the public. Visually stunning and innovative, it was the story that one might both start and end with a "Huh?" At the start, rival bands of monkeys, under the watch of a strange black monolith, learn how to use bones as weapons and kill each other more efficiently. Veronica is telling Mac that before they met, she was clueless when it came to computers. Edit
    • Ben: Failure's not an option. Apollo 13 was the space mission that went wrong in pretty much every way possible, as the words of astronaut Jim Lovell on April 13, 1970 orbited the globe, "Houston, we have a problem." Flight Director for NASA Mission Control, Gene Kranz, was reassuring: "Failure is not an option." Edit
