Scooter McGavin on Facebook and MySpace

This week I uploaded all of my pictures from my set visit to Veronica Mars, some that were never uploaded here, to my Facebook and MySpace accounts, so if you want to see them you will have to befriend me.

Veronica Mars Banners

Here are a couple of banners promoting the return of Veronica Mars. Feel free to put them on your own blogs as you wish. Many thanks to Jonathan P. for creating them.

Veronica Mars: Priceless

With just two more weeks until the next episode of Veronica Mars airs, I found this great video on YouTube thanking MasterCard for sponsoring this great show. Be sure to tune in May 1st when Veronica Mars returns.

Veronica Mars Promo

We are four weeks until the return of Veronica Mars and I found this real cool fan made promo on YouTube, so if you don't currently watch the show just take a quick look at the promo and if you like it, be sure to tune in on May 1st. If you already watch, just sit back and enjoy.

We are a month away from the return of the best show currently on television, Veronica Mars. If you don't already watch, tune in May 1st to see what all the hype is about. If you do watch the show, be sure to do your part to make sure the show gets a much deserved forth season. You can head over to SaveVeronicaMars.tv and head over to E!

Also people are distributing the flyer above (click to enlarge) to raise awarness for the show so if you have the time go ahead and print it out and post it at your high school, college, or around town.

The Gang and Of Vice and Men Promo

The more screen time she gets on Veronica Mars, the more I love Parker. After her great introduction, I thought she might be ruined by the whole being raped (or was she even raped at all as Not-Lucky may have suggested) and having her head shaved thing. But she remains entertaining and thanks to Parker, this was the best scene from the past episode courtesy of YouTube. Below that is the promo for tomorrow's episode which looks like it could be the best of the season so far. Let's just hope that Dick, Mac, Lamb, and Weevil all bother to show up for it.

Dick's House Call to Ronnie's

I had almost lost my faith in the internet when I kept looking for this scene to no avail. But two weeks after the episode aired, the greatest scene in Veronica Mars history finally popped up on YouTube. So here it is, Dick's first appearance in the Mars apartment:

My Big Fat Greek Rush Week Replay

Here's a real cool referesher of last weeks episode of Veronica Mars, a good way to keep you up to speed so far. There's also one for Welcome Wagon so check that out too.

Ladies and Gentlemen: Ronnie Lesbian Dancing

Ronnie lesbian dancing, chicks dressing like their favorite Pussycat Doll, the return of Chip Diller, Dick in bizarro world; best Veronica Mars scene ever. Unfortunately whoever made this clip, from YouTube, cut it before Vee could utter the best line of the episode: vomit, it's the new mace. Oh well. And don't forget to check out my latest Veronica Mars/Lost Toss Up over at my sister site. Now onto the lesbian dancing:

Veronica Meets Parker

Of all the great scene from last week's season premiere of Veronica Mars, this one was one of my favorite if only it was the introduction of what could be my new favorite character Parker. Hopefully the whole being rapped and having her head shaved brings her down and she finds a wig that looks suspiciously like the actress' real hair. Don't forget to watch the new episode tonight on The CW at 9:00. Now here's the scene thanks to YouTube:

Welcome Wagon Review

Scooter Note: this is a preview of the Veronica Mars portion of the weekly Toss Up with Lost that will appear on the 9th Green (see sidebar) tomorrow. Be sure to check out my sister site for the whole post tomorrow.

Then there was the return of two time Scooter Television Awards winner for Best Show, Veronica Mars. In one of the worst kept secrets of the summer, Veronica ended up at Heart College despite being accepted to Stanford. And if that was the worst kept secret, the second worst was that the first mini-season arc mystery would be that of the serial rapist Ronnie encountered last season. But before that happened, we got our first college level mystery of the week which involved Wallace’s new roommate Piz. Anyone find it odd that Piz is from Beaverton. Get it; Beaver-ton. You know; (Cassidy) “Beaver” (Casablancas)-ton. Oh, nevermind. Many great Vee moments following the mystery of the week with Ronnie speaking Spanish and futuristic languages, camping out in lawn chairs (such a college thing to do), and her anti-chick conversation with Mac.

Speaking of Mac, she also got a roommate, Parker, who quickly shot to the top of the list of contenders fore Best Cast Addition for next year’s STA’s. Her first scene with Ronnie brought back some fond memories of college (man I miss undergrad). Unfortunately it looks like we won’t get to see that Parker in future episodes of the show as she fell victim to the serial rapist. Too bad they didn’t hold the rapist storyline to the second or third arc of the season, because I would have minded see more of Perky Parker.

At least we got basically two years of classic Dick before he went on his downward spiral. And if you didn’t realized that was Dick in the Union Jack Speedo before he was unmasked then you must never seen the show. One thing I didn’t understand is why Dick had to shack up with Logan at the end? Did something happen to Casa de Killer II? But there was nothing more harsh spoken ever that his “beard” comment to Mac. I cringed ever time I watched it.

Whereas those storylines seemed written for newbies, the other storyline looked be more for the faithful with Keith chauffeuring the eldest Fitzpatrick to hidden away Not-Kendall. The ending here was more shocking than the other storyline with Kith between a rock and a hard place after it looked like Fitzpatrick took out Not-Kendall and left Keith for dead. Will Vinnie Van Lowe come to the rescue? Is Not-Kendall really dead? And most importantly, why did Keith leave his gun in the glove compartment while escorting a felon right out of jail? Here’s my harebrain theory: Not-Kendall was the one that hired Vinnie and is playing all the boys (and was wearing a bullet-proof vest) because she need something from Fitzpatrick before she reunites with her true love, Big Dick.

Up next week, Ronnie heads to sorority row. Seriously, how great is that episode going to be. Too bad Perky Parker, (presumably) won’t be in full perky mode for the festivities.

Veronica Mars New Credits

With Veronica Mars on her way to college (as well as a new network) the show has some new credits as well which are below courtesy of YouTube for those that haven't checked out the season premiere on MSN. I like the new look of the credits, but I'm still not sure on how they re-worked the song. In related Veronica Mars news, check out for Kristen Bell on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson tonight.

Watch Veronica Mars Now

I'm sure most people know this by now, but you can watch the season premiere of Veronica Mars on MSN. If you have never seen the show, this is the perfect time to jump right in as I have seen the episode and it could work as a series premiere as you don't need to see the previous season for it to make sense. So if you have some free time this weekend, check it out.

In other Veronica news, I partook in a press conference this week and have a recap up on my sister site so click the link to read that.

Also my world famous Toss Up pitting the second season of the show vs Lost, so check that out too to see who had the better season by the numbers.

Season Three Pictures

Just got my first exclusive pictures from my contact at UPN The CW of the season three premiere of Veronica Marsso here they are as well a press release for a Special tha kicks off the new network:






TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19
“ET PRESENTS THE CW LAUNCH PARTY”
(9:00-10:00 p.m. ET)

PARTY WITH CW NETWORK STARS ─ Hosted by “Entertainment Tonight's” Ryan Devlin and “One Tree Hill” star Hilarie Burton, this special includes footage from the CW Network’s premiere party on the Warner Bros. Studio lot. Featuring red carpet interviews with the network stars, the show also includes exclusive footage from inside the party.

New Veronica Mars Season 3 Promo

A couple weeks ago I brought to you the Tuesday night CW lineup featuring both Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars and mention how uninteresting the Veronica Mars part of the edge making me a little worried. Now there is a Veronica mars only commercial and it is a much better than the previous one and feature Ronnie dance (possibly for a Dick dream sequence) and maybe a slight spoiler into the Vee/Logan relationship (he's the one she asked to borrow something from if you look closely). Take a look courtesy of YouTube.

Happy Go Lucky Redux

Yeah, I didn't watch Veronica Mars last night on account that UPN is no more in my market, but here are my favorite caps from the episode. Okay, so I've forgot whatshisname already but this may have been the biggest hint of the season for those who remembered whatshisname from season one. Darn you Evil Beaver.



But the big new was when Lucky went all Columbine, well, except he was shooting blanks...



But the school's guard wasn't. Poor Not-So-Lucky.




I could talk about how Mac and Beaver got back together here, but the "I (Heart) Pie" sign in the background makes me chuckle. I have a feeling that was meant to be dirty.



But how heartbreaking was the last scene. Seriously how did Kristen Bell not get an Emmy nod?

Veronica Mars a Week Early

Checking out Duckyxdale I just learned that we will be able to watch the third season premiere a whole week early on MSN. So head over to the website September 26 to stream the show commercial free for the low cost of free-99. You can also see premiers of the new show Runaway (Sept. 18) as well as Everybody Hates Chris (Sept. 24) a week early too.

Look Who's Stalking Redux

Only three episodes left in season two of Veronica Mars and Evil Beaver is conspicuously absent. But the episode had to do with Gia's not so Lucky stalker. A few scenes had me puzzled including this one where Ronnie and Lucky seem to know each other even though they only met once and Vee couldn't recall that when Logan brought him up. Another is when Not So Lucky told Vee he knew her dad. Odd. And since Lucky is dead, I doubt it will lead anywhere.



This episode also saw the return of Deputy Leo. I still put him number one in favorite Ronnie beau's. Well that will end if Vee ever puts on an "I (Heart) Dick" t-shirt.





But this episode was all about the alterna-prom. Easily top five scene ever for the show. First you had the great elevator ride that did a much better at uncomfortable comedy that The Office has ever done.



The the capper for Ronnie's on the Lamb speech followed by Dick nonchalantly trying to catch a glimpse. Really a picture can't do the scene justice, so here it is in moving pictures courtesy of YouTube:

Gilmore Girls/Veronica Mars Promo

I mentioned a couple days ago that The CW had a new commercial featuring the duel Tuesday night line up of Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars. Now for those too lazy to click over to its website, here is that ad courtesy of YouTube.

Nevermind the Buttocks Redux

Now Evil Beaver this week and basically this episode was just one big red-herring as they try to make the Not-Kendall and the Fitzpatrick clan as the culprits. What struck me about this picture was how 80's Not-Kendall's photo is yet the two beside her look like the were taken last week.



I'm sure I've mentioned this story before, but when I was touring the set of Veronica Mars we came across this deer cross and prompted me to say "I have a feeling Dick was involved." I turned out to wrong, but at least a gave Rob Thomas a chuckle.



When I watched this episode again it made me wonder who exactly the anonymous IM'er is. I'm sure if Ronnie really wanted to know, she could find out because all she has to do is trace the Paypal account, but it still makes me wonder. Molly Fitzpatrick maybe?



One of the coolest scenes in terms of production value. Who knew Keith was such a badass?



But the best part of this episode was the start of the Mac/Butters relationship. I didn't really like Butters when he first arrived, but I came around when Vee and Mac interrupted his radio show, but this was the episode that put him over the top. I can't wait until the alterna-prom.
