It’s Not Wednesday, but Here’s a little Veronica Mars For Ya
March 21, 2006 by Kath Skerry
As I promised, every Wednesday I will be passing along a new pic and some background sccop from my day on the set of Veronica Mars. So yeah, I know it’s not Wednesday, but I’m heading back to California tomorrow, and I’m not sure I’m going to have time to post much before my flight.
A few nuggets…

Ever wonder how Dick and Beav Casablancas got their names? Well during lunch with Rob Thomas, he told us (and I’m paraphrasing here) that back in the day, every so often, the writers needed Logan to have a friend, besides Duncan. This friend was always kind of a dick, so in the writer’s room, they just started referring to him as, Dick. That made its way into the script and the rest is history. After Dick Casablancas became more of a presence on the show, the writers decided to give him a kid brother. They wanted him to be on the other specturm of his older brother. Someone sweet and innocent – you know, like the Beav, from Leave it to Beaver. I believe that Rob even said that it didn’t occur to them immediately that they would have brothers named Dick & Beav. But when it did, there was no turning back. You know how the writers of Veronica Mars love their double entendres…just as we do, often and hilarious.
Speaking of hilarious, albeit nasty – you could have picked my jaw up off the ground when Logan threw us a little “shocker” earlier in the season. I couldn’t believe that got by the network censors. Rob Thomas was a bit surprised too. The “shocker” was all the handy work (no pun intended) of Jason Dohring & Ryan Hansen. They threw it in the middle of the scene…on every take. Had the network censors taken issue, the entire scene would have had to be reshot. But it made it to the air, in one of the funniest scenes on the show. Oh yeah, the after effect of the “schocker” will be seen again. I’m not going to spill it now, but look for Veronica and Weevil to have a little “shocker” scene in a future ep. Oh…get your minds out of the gutter. Veronica Mars gets away with a lot, but THAT is pushing it.
Remember to check out Veronica Mars every Wednesday at 9pm(est) on UPN. What’s on tap for tomorrow night?

Wallace’s new girlfriend asks Veronica to find her sister, who appears to be either a “runaway bride” or a victim of foul play.

Um yeah, the thought of Jason and Ryan performing the shocker on me is almost too much to handle. Thought that other finger would go where? I’m out of inputs!

OK…I’m confused about what that gesture means…
index and middle finger tight together and the pinky are the only fingers held out. Now, two of those fingers are for a female’s va-jay-jay and the pinky for the chocolate factory.

Well my mind is always in the gutter when it comes to Logan + Veronica but with Weevil + Veronica…not so much.
I am a bit baffled how another “shocker” scene could be referenced now that more people have been educated about it. (Gee thanks!)
Is this some kind of misunderstanding where someone *thinks* Weevil + Veronica had a raunchy hook-up? You’ve got me intrigued with the phrase “after effect”.
