Comparisons and References
Speedwell's character is typically in comparison Chloe Sullivan from Smallville, the likewise inquisitive girl world health organization investigated mysterious occurrences at her various high, world health organization sports the similar coif, attire, & have of a computer for comprehensive fact-finding function. Fans of the indicate forget about this comparison when superficial.
Lilly Kane's role is typically in comparison Laura Palmer of Twin Peaks, a girl world health organization was as well murdered under mysterious circumstances & whose execution investigation found dark secrets around her preceding. Prefer Laura, Lilly just appears around flashbacks or even dream sequences, although a indicate is far less mystic than Twin Peaks. Even as Laura Palmer was murdered by her father (patch under a control of an additional existence), early indications seemed to point to Lilly's father when her killer. Lilly too was seeing at least trine different men, similar to Laura. Lilly's killer was sooner or later revealed to become her have secret lover, her ex-boyfriend's father.
Speedwell's glib wit & anti-establishment attitude draw comparisons to Buffy Summers of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Perchance by coincidence, Alyson Hannigan made two guest appearances in the number 1 year of Veronica Mars. In addition, a character of Cindy 'Mac' MacKenzie recurred from earlier in the season and was seen to be quite reminiscent of Hannigan's Buffy character Willow. A select few Buffy fans resented critics' comparisons of the deuce shows. Nonetheless, Buffy author Joss Whedon was not one of the two; he posted in the fan-do places devoted to his have operate that Veronica Mars was a "Best. Show. Ever."[http://whedonesque.com/comments/7502], &, though he seldom acts, may pop up within a cameo in the period of the indicate's 2nd year.
Logan's character seems to become heavy drawn from either Steve, a hero of Veronica Mars owner Rob Thomas' own immature adult novel Rats Saw God. Rather Logan, Steve is disaffected, sarcastic, the user, & depressed. Such as Logan, Steve has the hard relationship sustaining his notable father (the previous astronaut), although Steve's father does not turn dead set exist as abusive & homicidal rather Logan's father.
