Veronica Mars goes to check out the college she will attend the next season.
And Michael Cera and Alia Shawkat guest star as college students. Michael is the tour guide, and Alia is just some student or something.
Anyway, it ends with Alia being a shaved-head rape victim, per the last season's ongoing mystery.
The final season, was intended to have Michael Cera as a semi-regular and be Veronica's Hall Monitor (I'm blanking on the proper title/term). He would have ended up as either the rapist or the helper, per the reveal of that mystery.
George Michael asks Maeby if she wants to watch a DVD, but the name of the DVD is bleeped. Subtitles reveal that under the bleeping was a "reference to off-network high school private eye drama censored by FOX", referring to a show aired on UPN whose creator and stars professed their admiration of Arrested Development many times. Michael Cera and Alia Shawkat, who play George Michael and Maeby, also made guest appearances on Veronica Mars. It is unknown if this part was actually censored or just a joke, especially since the next episode contained a full-blown crossover with Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, another off-network show.
G.O.B.: Oh, I missed you, Michael!
Michael: All right.
G.O.B.: Or should I say robot.
Michael: What, ’cause’m not crying?
G.O.B.: Maybe you don’t have enough RAM to understand this, Michael, but there’s such a thing as brotherly love.

I tried so hard to watch this show while it was on simply to support it. But FOX made it so difficult. Bad FOX. Those asinine morons got what's commin' to them. . . in a thousand years.

It really wasn't Fox's fault though. They gave AD a third season when the ratings really didn't warrant it.
It's the fault of the American viewers. They should have been put on cable.
George: Well, I don't think the Home Builder's Organization is gonna be supporting us.
Michael: Yeah, the HBO is not gonna want us. What are we gonna do now?
Oscar: Well, I think it's Showtime.

I'd have to get up pretty early to get drunk by 11.
She had gotten up early and took some medication for a hang-over related headache but mistook the drowsy eye alcohol warning for a winking eye alcohol suggestion.

I attribute most of it to the show not being a tried and true formula with a little too subtle humor for the average TV viewer. Followed closely by brain scratching time changes.
Oh well, be happy with what we got. Because getting the third season was a gift from FOX. I'm sure it only exists because of all the awards it won in the previous years.

CBC, the channel I remember from my childhood as being incredibly boring and canadian (which may be redundant), has this after old episodes of the Simpsons, every day.
The best thing ever was netflixxing both Arrested Development and Veronica Mars, then getting to the episode of Veronica Mars where George Michael and Maeby are attending the college Veronica is looking at, and Maeby gets raped and her head shaved, and they really don't find the rapist (plot saved for the following season).
Then on Arrested Development, George Michael says to Maeby something like, "Hey, let me cheer you up, we'll watch ..." and Ron Howard says "Name of Teen Girl Detective Show on Competing Network" as Michael Cera mouths "Veronica Mars."
That was awesome.
Listening to the VM commentary (or something online), I learned that they tried to get Michael Cera to reprise his role for the final VM season, but they couldn't get either actor. It would have turned out that Cera was the rapist or his accomplice.
oh man, that's fucking great.
In one of the later seasons of Veronica Mars there was a bit where she's hugging someone through the bars of the holding cell in the police department when someone off-screen loudly yells "No touching."
Considering the other references I have to assume it was purposeful.
Lucille: And I’m putting Buster in charge.
Gob: He’s a good choice.
Michael: Buster? The guy who thought that the blue on the map was land?
Lucille: He's had business classes.
Buster: W-w-w-wait. Eighteenth-century agrarian business. But I guess it's all the same principles. Lemme ask you: Are you at all concerned about an uprising?
One of my absolute favourite scenes is when Gob tries to make coins appear in the boardroom but the wrist mechanism jams. He continues talking but then when he moves his arm coins just come flying out and embed themselves in the walls and shit. I always laugh my ass off at that scene.

He breaks that one guy's glasses (the guy who always gets bitched... he also had to "toast" Gob at the Christmas party when he was president) with part of the firing mechanism. So awesome.
I loved the end of the episode where Michael almost marries Rita and at the end after talking several times about just walking across the ocean, she walks across the pool from him.
Michael to Gob: That's one of your tricks, right?
Gob: No Michael

And now that I have, if I ever get a boat, it will be named the seaward.

Michael: All right.
G.O.B.: Or should I say robot.

Patrice Oneal is a very funny man.

What a fun, sexy time for you both.
"...You realize you've been here two months, right?"
..."Sometimes you lose track of time in here-"
"I bet."
In the dark."
" You left out away. You meant to say she blew you away. Otherwise it sounds like something else."
OH MAN.
