I've Seen the Veronica Mars Premiere!

What do you get when you cross Veronica Mars with Battlestar Galactica -- aside from my head exploding? The third season premiere of Veronica Mars, that's what.

As usual, I'm not allowed to say much about what transpires plot-wise in both episodes. In fact, the PR department's traditional "Don't Reveal" list is twice its normal length. But feel free to send me questions at ask_ausiello@tvguide.com and I'll do my best to answer them in Wednesday's Ask Ausiello. In the meantime, here are a few asterisked lines from the "Don't Reveal" list to whet your appetites.
