Veronica Mars (TV Series) The Bitch Is Back (2007) User Reviews

Terrible how a great show was canceled without a proper send off episode at least

#SPOILERS#

I've never watched this show before, I've binged it over the past two weeks and it was one of the best teen series I've seen, especially because it was so fundamentally different from all of them. But alas, this show was on before TV's "second golden age" and it was even more common for shows with low ratings to just be left hanging there, without answers or a proper finish, just with the cancellation upon them. This episode is truly great, concerning the unexpected involvement of Jack Kane, and also the last interaction between Veronica and Logan, that proves LoVe was surely gonna return in a future season, as Piz was kind of a side note/nice sweet rebound in the last few episodes, not really a relationship that would trump one with a character that was on every episode since day 1. But, as satisfying as this episode is, it isn't a series finale, it's a season finale, it shows in the way it is constructed, it shows in all of its loose ends, it shows because a lot of things happen in the last 10 minutes, but never enough regarding what needed to happen with the characters, like with Keith mar's future, for instance, that was just left a mystery. (because it would be a theme for the 4th season). This secret society was interesting, and there was so much to know about it, like that crime with the bodies in the shed and so much more....

Even if I'm watching this 10 years after it aired, it's still horrible to see that such an inventive show, especially for 2004, was just canceled like that. I'm glad the movie existed so many years later for some closure. Gonna watch it now.

Veronica Mars at her Best!!

This is probably my favorite episode of Veronica Mars ever! This episode 'the Bitch is Back,' (Veronica annoying the rich and powerful!) sees Veronica search for the person who put a 'sex' video of her and Piz on the Internet. That everyone at Heart viewed. After Logan attacked Piz in the previous episode because he believes Piz was responsible but he is not. Then veronica ends up uncovering a secret group known as 'the castle.' I'm also been a big fan of LoVe (Logan and Veronica) since the first season, so it was great to see that Logan still has feelings for Veronica! You also see Veronica sing and stand up for herself against very powerful men. The episode leaves important questions unanswered but importantly does not leave everything a mess, which other shows do in season finales.

A worthy ending to an excellent series

I really like the ending. Somewhat similar open ended ending as Sopranos have, though perhaps a bit more preparing for the possible future seasons here. I appreciate endings that make you think and wonder. The life goes on, mysteries keep on coming, anything is possible.

The episode itself has a gripping mystery, Veronica on warpath that you do not want to cross, and some really touching moments. However, I feel it is a bit too packed, just too many things happening. I do think it still is an excellent episode, even for the high Veronica Mars standards. However I feel the final mystery is a bit too big for one episode. Though, I guess it would have been justified in the season 4, which unfortunately never got to see the daylight.

Finally, the human relations. They really hit the nail on them, all the people from this season got nice resolves, if not closure. I could have lived with less smiles for Logan at the end, but even that fits the open ending for the Logan fans, so I can't really complain.

Sadly, our brief glimpse to the life of Veronica Mars is over. But, one cannot be too sad, we did see three full seasons of excellency.

The last episode will leave you with questions...

I have sat at my computer now for days...I watched the entire series this week. It was good! I can't see how this episode could leave you hanging so badly! I want the Fitzpatricks not to get away with endorsing Vinnie for Sheriff. I want Veronica off the hook for the break-in to the Kane's. I would like Keith to be elected Sheriff. I want to know more about the Castle! The pictures painted of his kids (Duncan/Lily) in the house were creepy.

It was nice to see Keith still standing up for Veronica. I would love to see his face if he could see all that was on that hard drive! Holy Cow! Veronica should be able to use that info for something...

There have been rumors for some time about there being a VM movie. I would go see it!

This series does not end with a nice pretty bow on it like Buffy, Alias or Gilmore Girls. I could use some kind of closure....

The Bitch Is Back, Not A Good Series Ending, Good Episode Though

[korbyquan · 10/10 · 19 July 2007]

This was a perfect Veronica Mars episodes but not a good series ending, it doesn't answer if Keith gets the sheriff postion and so much more like whether Piz leaves Veronica for his new job and if they break up to live their lives. It left me unhappy to see a great show go down without a bang. I wish they decided to do another season because that sucks that we lost the show and don't get a chance to end it with respect that the show needed to be a great ending for the characters. I First started watching the show in the second season and was like "what the?" but I got so hooked and kept watching following till the end no matter what people said about it, now it's over:( Well I still have the shows "Supernatural, Nip Tuck, Family Guy and Dirt!" Ya!
