5. “Do you ever think maybe he’s dead because of us?” (3×18, I Know What You’ll Do Next Summer) – I’m a sucker for the Casablancas angst. For the second time in the whole show, Dick is shown to us in a light not to make us laugh, but to make us pity him. And it works perfectly, a good deal due to Ryan Hansen acting the hell out of it. The boy is human, and has clearly been in all this pain for a year, and not dealt with it, not Dad shows up and he can’t keep it down. GAH.

4. “Right Here, Right Now.” (3×09, Spit & Eggs) – This scene was just so intense. Veronica is just terrified and needs help, and the techno music works perfectly to get that feeling of desperation.

3. “I want to know what happened.” (1×21, A Trip To The Dentist) – This whole thing is just so screwed up. Duncan messed up epically, and it’s not even his fault, and he hurt Veronica so bad but he couldn’t have known what she’d think, and he clearly still loves her so bad it kills him, and no matter how hard he tries, he can’t make it stop, and he hates himself for the whole damn thing. She’s just so angry and has been so scarred by this whole thing, and neither of them can figure it out.

2. “My name is CASSIDY!” (2×22, Not Pictured) – Or, “Why Kyle Gallner owns my soul.” It’s the perfect “Alas, Poor Villain” moment, and despite everything he did, you want to take him back all this time and make him, uh, not a train wreck. The “my name is” line could have been so cliched, but KG delivers it exactly to get all that pain and anger out. The end of a psychotic woobie.

1. “You know how things are going to be from now on, right?” (1×22, Leave It To Beaver) – Aww. Veronica finally gets some closure on Lilly’s death, and the chance to say goodbye. I really can’t say why this is my favourite. Maybe it’s the naivety in V’s voice when she says “Just like this?” Maybe it’s Lilly’s relaxed smile. Maybe it’s how pretty the damn thing is. Maybe it’s something else entirely. Who knows?

I can’t pick a top 5. You’re better than I am. I do so love the Veronica and Wallace one, though.

So here are the other four moments that would end up on my Top Five Dialogue-less VM Moments list. (Today anyway.)

I love the shot of Veronica on the back of Weevil’s bike as they approach the scene of the bus crash. From cool and hot to devastating heartbreak. It’s so Veronica.

Or what about the many knowing looks between Logan and Veronica? My favorite comes at the beginning of the thaw, when Logan is working on Lilly’s tribute video in “The Wrath of Con.” It’s a quick and subtle moment, but it’s where IT all started.

When Veronica breaks down in her car after visiting Abel Koontz in “Like a Virgin.” I didn’t start watching the show until “Return of the Kane” so this is when I joined Team Veronica with a vengeance. Years later, I still can’t even think about it without welling up.

And finally, even though I am an enlightened and self-sufficient woman who doesn’t need a man to fight her battles, years of Princess stories and love songs have biased me toward the man who sticks up for his woman. Nothing embodies that more than the shot of Logan entering the jail cell where Mercer and Moe are after he got himself arrested by beating the crap out of a cop car. Classic.

Oh, and the final look between Logan and Veronica.

And the shot of Duncan and Baby Lilly being driven off into the sunset with Vinnie Van Lowe.

And the…….

I’d have to give more thought to my top five moments than I can do right now, but I’ll try to think and let you know later.

And I loved the video blog! You should totally do it again. It was like watching a friend, you’re so personable.

Some of my favorite moments…

When Wallace realizes that Veronica is the one who’s been leaving spirit boxes with snickerdoodles in his locker.

When Logan tells Veronica about their “epic” relationship at the anti-prom.

When Deputy Leo arrives at the 80s dance! I love Deputy Leo.

When Veronica tapes the fortune from Duncan on her mirror. I can’t remember the exact wording — true love stories never end or true love stories don’t have endings.

When Sheriff Lamb monologues to Meg’s dad, and you realize there’s a LOT more than meets the eye there.
