"Veronica Mars" Does it Again

The Slug is in Chicago on our way to Florida, but we just had to take a sec during our layover to chat about our favoritest sleuth show since "Murder, She Wrote." Another huge "Veronica Mars" mystery came to a close last night. Did you guess the killer correctly? Turns out creepy-TA-with-bad-hair Tim not only murdered Dean O'Dell but also set up his beloved Professor Landry, who inadvertently killed the dean's wife! We can't say we saw all that coming (although many of you pegged him as the rapist).

Remember our original theory? We pinned the phony suicide on Karen, the pot-smoking den mother — and she hasn't even reprised her role. Boy, we were wrong. (But not as wrong as Logan. Parker?! What is he thinking?!) For the remander of this season, "Veronica Mars" will be moving away from multi-episode arcs and toward self-contained episodes. However, The Slug thinks there's one big mystery left: Will this excellent show be renewed for another season?
