It really was sad that he was only in the one chapter. I would have LoVed to have seen more of how he was doing transitioning back into PCH life!

I would love him to help veronica out like in the old days, it would be great if they had a common "enemy" or something
I am totally in favor of going back to the storyline where he works for Mars Investigations!

I was glad Weevil was there to help. Mostly because I wanted him in the book. Her dad probably wanted to teach her himself.
Plot Point: Instead of asking Keith to help her with shooting practice, Veronica googles how to shoot a gun. She acknowledges that she is both too proud and too scared.

Agreed!

Plot Point: As a result of Celeste Kane shooting Weevil and a stolen gun being planted on him, Weevil is back on his bike:
"He was back on he bike, roaring through the streets of Neptune with his old gang, believing that if the system was rigged, this was the only way to give himself a fighting chance."
THIS MADE ME SO SAD!!

I think that was the most heartbreaking scene from the movie, and it's just as poignant in words in the book.
*Side note Could you please make a comment when we are going onto the next chapter discussion? Thanks.

I wondered the same. Also, how badly does everyone want to see Weevil being a daddy? Wearing a Baby Bjorn or pushing a stroller???

I was proud of Veronica for accepting that her dad was right about her needing to "pay a price" for accepting this way of life.
Neptune wrote: "Discussion Question: Should Weevil stay away from the PCHers? Or is that where he belongs?"YES! he should stay far, far away from them!
Neptune wrote: "Discussion Question: Should Weevil stay away from the PCHers? Or is that where he belongs?"Being back on the "streets" might help him uncover evidence to prove his innocence?
That's true but he doesn't need to return to a life of crime, he just needs to get the PCHers to trust him to be on the inside
Hi Em! I will post a comment when the next chapter topic is posted!

Neptune wrote: "Discussion Question: Should Weevil stay away from the PCHers? Or is that where he belongs?" I wish he'd stay away. I don't know how his wife feels about it, but I want him to stay with his wife and daughter. I want to see tea parties in the next movie.
Good point! I hope he's gathering evidence to help get rid of Sheriff Lamb!

I will now cry if there is not a tea party where Weevil is wearing his leather jacket in the next book/movie. #MoreVeronicaMars

I like how Weevil, in many ways, has always been able to see more of the big picture compared to Veronica. He really does talk logical a lot of the time.
He is absolutely a down to earth down to business kind of guy. He was also in love with Lilly though
page 206: And suddenly the thought made her deeply, achingly sad. Because they were both back in ti. Because it looked like neither of them would ever be able to walk away from the past, no matter how hard they tried."
Weevil and Veronica are so alike.....
Weevil and Veronica are so alike.....
Did this chapter remind anyone else of the scene where Logan went to the shooting range with the Dick Casablancas's?
I love at the end where Weevil asks if they hurt her.... Just felt so caring in the soft tone he used. I love him being protective of V.
Em wrote: "Did this chapter remind anyone else of the scene where Logan went to the shooting range with the Dick Casablancas's?"Yes! Except Logan is a better shot than Veronica. Sigh! Logan is good at everything!
Can we talk about the golden dialogue in this chapter???
Weevil: I saw that fancy car you've been driving in the parking lot, and thought to myself "I gotta see this. Veronica Mars with a gun."
V: Dad wants me to learn.
Weevil: Smart man.
Weevil: Oh you know, I follow you on twitter, @too_nosy_for_her_own_good.

That scene still sends chills down my spine when Logan makes the bullseye!
