That's why i heart u! I've always thought that the relationship between Keith and Veronica was key to the success of Veronica Mars. Keith was a struggling father; struggling to keep his baby girl safe from the dysfunction of their family; struggling with his own preceived shortcomings as a man and a father. And ultimately struggling to retain his world-weary daughter's innocence. I really think that the Keith/Veronica and Wallace/Veronica dynamics were the most important relationships and most realistic in the show.

You have a wonderful grasp on all of this. 'Nothing is simple: it's complex, complicated, subtle, and dynamic.' Sounds like you, m'dear!
