I only watched the first few episodes of Veronica Mars on DVD through Netflix...couldn't really stand to watch it anymore. What also puzzled me was that for some reason I kept seeing references to people wanting Logan and Veronica together....wasn't he the one who was treating her like shit? Is the show advocating an abusive relationship? I just didn't get it. I thought I might watch the show until I saw all those people wanting that pairing together. He WAS the bully in those first few episodes, right? Maybe I'm mistaken.

No, no, no. Logan was the bully but that was all just facade. Really, he was a bad boy with a heart of gold. And you know what? When you try to explain that to someone who has just dipped into the show it sounds pretty bloody moronic. And problematic on all sorts of socio-gender grounds. But when you watch it all the way through? Ahhh, the romance!

Didn't he rape her?

No, but I swear just about everyone else did (not really - but her first boyfriend Duncan slept with her after she was drugged at a party - and while he thought she might be his sister - and then Logan's friend's little brother raped her while she was passed out). I can see the Logan appeal, but he also did some pretty heinous things too.
I like KB okay, but I do think the show went downhill starting in the second season and Veronica was awfully hard to like a lot of the time after the first season (not Bell's fault, it was the writing).

No, but he supplied Dick with the GHB that Dick was going to slip into Madison's drink and, after Veronica was the one that passed out, proceeded to urge folks to take body shots off of her. So sweet, that guy. I like KB and think she's an OK actress but, mah gawd, the show really dropped in quality. I hated Logan so when he became the show's Spike, it ruined it for me - and that was just one of the problems. She is part of one of my favorite interviews ever.

Logan drugged Duncan and drugged Duncan slept with a drugged Veronica. I believe that it was things like this that made Kristin Bell question the Logan/Veronica relationship on the show and earned her the wrath of Logan/Veronica shippers. On a totally superficially level, I like her better with short hair.

That was a great interview Auron.
I admit the Logan/Veronica relationship was a tad dysfunctional (Ok maybe a lot) but dammit I wanted them to be together. Veronica made him a better man.
I loved the witty dialogue & the great relationship between Veronica and her Dad,

I've been considering renting the series on DVD, but frankly, this Logan stuff is just putting me off it, if we're all supposed to kind of root for him and Veronica. What I've heard of him is just so disturbing and slimy.

The actor is a Scientologist too. Logan that is. Bell seems safe.

He's no CTC-type Scientologist. He's a nice guy, who loves being an actor and gives it his all. And there are some people I know who wouldn't characterize Kristen Bell as being safe, but each his own.
Hootenanny, there were layers to Logan. He made bad decisions, but so did a lot of the characters. So judge for yourself. Personally, I didn't like Veronica at the end of the series, but that wouldn't prevent me from rewatching or recommending S1. It was good.
