Veronica Mars/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • When Logan took a baseball bat to a police car in order to be arrested so he could beat the crap out of a guy who had been arrested for trying to attack Veronica.
  • Keith Mars, in this editor's opinion, is generally made of awesome but he has his crowning moment during Aaron Echolls' murder trial. Aaron's lawyer tries to discredit Veronica's testimony by making snide remarks about her sexual life and reputation. Keith finally loses it, snatches the lawyer's tie, pulls the lawyer towards himself and calmly advises him to be more restrained in making statements regarding his daughter.
  • Even Sheriff Lamb gets one, in season 2 when Veronica and Duncan break into Meg's house to discover evidence of child abuse, and find her little sister is kept in the closet by her parents. Sheriff Lamb only pretends to arrest them, and lets them go once out of sight of the house.

"Funny, I remember my father giving a speech exactly like that."

  • A personal favorite of mine was Logan fooling his father into having to give a substantial amount of money to a homeless shelter. There may have been cheering.
  • She may be a tiny character, but Meg's slutty little sister Lizzie owning Meg's asshole ex in "Like a Virgin." Don't you love sisterly love?

AH Ex: You were always immature.
Lizzie: Funny, according to her purity test, you were always premature.

  • In the third season/series finale, Logan beats the snot out of & publicly humiliates Gory Sorokin, who was responsible for posting a sex tape featuring Veronica online. Whilst the fact the guy Logan assaulted had family ties to the mob (And Logan was aware of them) was pretty awesome on it's own, it's the dialogue afterwards that makes truly elevates to CMoA status:

Gory: You're gonna die.
Logan: Yeah. Someday.

  • Also concerning Logan, in "Weapons of Class Destruction", Veronica is talking on her cell phone with him, when a suspect in her current case gets in her car and, at gunpoint, tells her to drive to a motel. Unbeknownst to the suspect, Logan is still on the line after Veronica puts her phone down and he makes out the name of the motel. He then manages to beat them to the motel, pull the suspect off Veronica and proceeds to beat the shit out of him.
  • Samuel Pope, Season Two business class teacher. Veronica tells him that he needs to dump stock to a certain company and why. His response? "You don't dump it, Veronica. You sell it...to somebody else. I'd just be sticking some other sucker with the consequences. I don't think I can live with that." Crowning. Moment. Of AWESOME. God, it hurts, though.
  • Season one, where Logan heard Veronica being kidnapped by the federal agent and saves her with a sucker punch. This troper may have literally jumped into the air, much to the distress of his cat and girlfriend. The kiss afterwards was icing on the cake. Really awesome icing.
  • The scene in 3x09 where Parker realizes Mercer is the rapist. She yells "RAPE!" and all of the guys on the floor come out of their rooms. Partially awesome because of the fact that she's confronting her rapist, partially because it saves Veronica and partially because all the guys come out ready to kick his ass when she yells.
  • Everything Veronica does in Clash Of The Tritions -- especially her choice of song to the bad guy of the week.
  • One woman -- a teenage girl to boot -- against an entire group of bikers? Guess who pwns who.
  • Wallace tackles Lucky in "Happy Go Lucky."
  • Duncan orders the assassination of Aaron Echolls in "Not Pictured." There was much cheering.
