With its future with the CW network still rather uncertain and rumors regarding a possible time elapsing of two or three years should the series get the green light to return next season, Veronica Mars is a show whose last few episodes you won't want to miss this year.

Whether they're series ending or whether they're the last few times you'll get to see a college-aged Veronica in action (rumors are swirling that show creator Rob Thomas may pull a rapid-aging trick and enroll Veronica in the FBI training program, as a college graduate in the hypothetical '07-'08 season), these standalone episodes that aren't part of a larger season's mystery should be a fun and unpredictable ride.

Veronica Mars returns to its Tuesday at 9 pm time slot on May 1.
