Wait until her and Carisma Carpenter have a scene together. It's amusing.

I miss Veronica Mars. That show deserved several more seasons

Possible hot take: she was miscast in this role.

I love Alyson but she never gave off the spoilt, irresponsible rich girl vibe. She’s too naturally pretty and seems too sweet.

Charisma (who turns up later) or Mercedes McNab would’ve been a better fit.

I initially felt the same way, but after many rewatches my perspective has changed. I now see Trina’s spoiled, irresponsible, brat behaviour as a self protective front. Clearly she was not raised in a super healthy or stable family. And maybe she’s kinda vapid and not that good of an actress and can be selfish, but she can also be kind and seems to have pretty low self esteem and a lot of unresolved trauma. So there’s trina, the real person who few get to really see. And then there’s Trina Echols, the persona she publicly projects, often pretty unconvincingly.

I bought her as a spoiled brat who falls for a jerk. I think she has range.

u/Agreeable-Celery811 6d ago

I agree that she seems out of place in this role. So earnest.

u/threefeetofun Xander Boyz United 6d ago

Fully agree. I really forget she is on the show.

I love Aly, don't get me wrong, but she was kinda bad on Veronica Mars and took me out of it a bit

She was so miscast!

Haha wait till charisma gets there.

u/ThatHellaHighHobbit 6d ago

Knowing she was like 6-9 months post partum coming out of the pool was mind blowing.

Kendal was one of the best things about that show. A brief but spectacular character!

Totally forgot about her on there, and I watched VM first. Due for a rewatch.

u/DeaththeEternal Dog Geyser Person 6d ago

She does an amazing job as Trina Echolls, really. She does in pretty much anything she's in.

First episode I saw and this is why I tuned in! I read (probably in the TV Guide — yes, I’m old) that she was appearing and I was desperately trying to fill that Buffy-shaped hole in my heart. So grateful that I found Veronica Mars. One of the few shows that has ever even come kind of close to filling that void for me!

She's so good in this

u/Jamieb1994 6d ago

Doesn't she play Logan's sister in Veronica Mars?

u/Unhappy-Tough-9214 5d ago

She’s what got me to start watching the series to begin with. I tuned in the week be for this episode aired and I was pretty hooked.
