Question: What is your opinion of the Veronica-Logan dynamic on
Veronica Mars recently? I was an avid supporter of the pairing back in the first season. Their on-screen chemistry was undeniable, and they seemed like a good match. Lately, however, it's been feeling like more of a Dawson-Joey soul-matey melodrama. It's so much of an on-again/off-again romance that the dynamic between them has shifted, making me wish that for now, they would just pull the plug on the relationship. They play off each other much better when they're apart, with both snark and spark making their relationship much more complex.
Answer: This question came in before last week's breakup episode, so I'm assuming Kerry is now a happier camper than either Veronica or Logan. Personally, I'm OK when they're together (some of the best pillow-talk banter anywhere) and when they're apart, but I agree it creates more dramatic tension for the show when they're not all happy and snuggly. I guess if they'd just let the couple be at peace, there wouldn't be much of a show. And this series is, after all, intended to be something of a young-adult noir, a genre that's all about tormented heroes, so keeping Veronica in domestic bliss probably isn't in the cards.
