Closing on Mars

I’ve finished season 1 of _Veronica Mars_ and I think it is some of the best television I have ever witnessed. Episode 21, “A Trip to the Dentist,” is one of the best if not *the best* things I have *ever* seen on television, period. Episode 22, “Leave It To Beaver,” is one of the most intense. I’m not very good at writing reviews, especially in trying to balance what makes a piece of art tick without blowing important plot points. And there is so very much important plot that you do *not* want blown. So I promise that I’m going to post a review of _Veronica Mars_: Season 1 very soon, and I promise that I am not going to reveal *anything*. I’m also going to caution you that if you are at all interested in watching _VM_, please let me give you all of season 1 (or better yet, buy it on DVD) but *don’t* read anything else about it, online or elsewhere. It is way too easy to be spoiled, in fact I know from reading them that many of the published reviews contain major spoilers, and you don’t want to be spoiled. Trust me.

It’s just. So. Good.
