Veronica Mars Season 3.10: "Show Me The Monkey"

"Show Me The Monkey"
Airdate: January 23rd, 2007

[This iTunes TV review covers some vaguely adult themes in the show, and those easily offended may want to pass on it. - Editor]

College is all about experimenting…with monkeys. At least that's what Veronica learns as she returns from winter break. Now if she would just apply that same maxim to dating, she might be able to pry herself away from broody Logan and take a dip in the Piz.

Not that Piz is really right for her. He's still a boy and Veronica surely needs a man, but by my count Veronica has had two nearly identical boyfriends in her life. Duncan: nice, but bland and definitely not smart enough for Ms. V. And Logan: the "obligatory psychotic jackass" who hangs out with rapists, gets blow jobs from silly surfer chicks, and likes bashing on cars with crowbars. At least Piz has a productive hobby in music and deejaying. But then again, he's way too earnest for her snark. She'd eat him alive.

OK, so if Veronica isn't going to be moving on, thank god Mac's macking on someone. The Beav was too sweet to light her fire, that's all. No worries below the waist, my dear, you just need a hot vegan activist to get your Fakin' Bacon sizzle on. Mac deserves happiness. Now please let him not be a serial killer. He looks very familiar. Did he play a bad guy in something else?

Now, I'm thinking Mac is, while sexually immature, at least emotionally mature enough to keep some perspective even while on the verge of new love. So why does she go behind V's back to warn PHATman about the police raid? She's not going to be one of those girls who abandons her girlfriends as soon as a boyfriend is in the picture, is she? She's not going to start prefacing every comment with, "Bronson says this and Bronson says that," is she? Probably not. But she might have to give up her jerky-pop and go the veg route if she wants to keep kissing him. She wouldn't be the first kid to experiment with tofu in college.

Aside from the romance angles, monkey business, and some hilarious frat-boy sense-talking by Dick Casablacas to Mr. Pouty Echolls, the Dean O'Dell mystery is on the move in this welcome back ep. The Missus obviously isn't missing her man, but we knew she was getting it on with Professor Landry, so no big surprise there.

Weevil found the dean, but thinks he was a good guy (Who stripped Mr. Macho Banger of his edge? Weevil seems perfectly happy to be a zitty, girth-challenged janitor and sociological study subject of Miz Mars. He was hot when he was mean. Now he's just goofy.). Landry is the too-obvious choice, and Keith makes a pathetic attempt to feel that out. And then we're left with Landry's TA, the psycho grad student in a bad wig. Perhaps we'll see more of that angle in weeks to come. 

With the dean's murder based on Veronica's plan-a-perfect-murder paper, she should be able to outwit the killer by tapping into her own sick fantasies. After all, college is all about experimenting.
