Veronica Who?

Up until a couple of days ago that would have been my response anytime someone mentioned their love of the now off-air quirky television show Veronica Mars.

Somehow, perhaps due that comfy little rock I was living under, I managed to never even have caught a glimpse or peek of a single episode of the phenomenon that is known as Veronica Mars. But as almost any blogger can attest, it's an unusual week when I don't come across at least one reference to that iconic TV show, inevitably leaving me scratching my head or trying to puzzle through just what I was missing out on.

Until two days ago, that is.

On my usual blogsphere rounds, I stopped by GreenBeanTeenQueen's site for a visit when she happened to mention a Veronica Mars re-watch hosted by a couple of bloggers and she casually added you could watch the episodes online for free. Hmmm... Well, I figured, now I have no excuse. Since I was looking at a free evening, I settled in to at least watch the first episode to finally see for myself what all the fuss was about. Three hours and as many episodes later, I can honestly say that that is some seriously addictive awesome stuff. With a side of caustic sass that I could never resist.

So now I'm sorta cursing my little comfy rock for shielding me from this unusual teenage detective for so many years, but I've seen the light: I am proud to be the newest convert in what can only be described as a dedicated and devoted following. But that's all I can say about Veronica's acerbic yet intelligent wit for now - I've got some serious watching and catching up to do.
