Veronica Mars (Kristen Bell)
of Neptune, California is one of the most kickass female protagonists
among kickass female protagonists. Although the series ended
prematurely after only three seasons on the air, Veronica Mars ended
with a vengeance in the episode entitled “The Bitch is Back.”

Though the quality of the series languished somewhat in the third
season, the series finale brought back elements from the brilliant
first season that made us die-hard fans swoon over what could have
been, if only the show was renewed for a fourth season. After a sex
tape starring Veronica and Piz (Chris Lowell)
was leaked to the Internet, Veronica went on a hunt to find and stick
it to the culprits, reminiscent of the first season when she tracked
down who raped her at Shelly Pomroy’s party. Other shoutouts to the
first season were bringing Jake Kane (Kyle Secor) back as a member of
the super-secret society known as the Castle that Veronica ultimately
bests. Veronica even finds herself face-to-face with an oversized oil
painting of her dead best friend Lilly Kane, whose death provided the
season-long arc during the show’s freshman season.

The series finale brought a dark, ambiguously unethical atmosphere back to Veronica Mars, after a lighter, cheerier third season. Veronica broke the law to get revenge on the Castle, and her father Keith (Enrico Colantoni) broke the law to protect her. We even got to see Logan (Jason Dohring)
embracing his self-destructive ways again, beating the crap out of the
guy who posted Veronica’s sex tape on the Internet. The episode ends on
an open-ended note, with Veronica simply walking down the street in the
rain, after voting for her father for sheriff. Does Keith become
sheriff, or did tampering with evidence cost him the election? Does
Veronica eventually work for the FBI? These questions can only be
answered in our imaginations now.
