Good-bye Miss Mars

Just a reminder that tonight is the final two episodes of Veronica Mars, and while the bastardized version w/o an over-arcing mystery isn't as good as Seasons 1 and two, I'll still miss it.

But hey the good news is next year we can watch the adventures of those geico cavemen. sigh

The Beginning of the End?

Just a reminder, that Tuesday sees the return of V Mars for the first of what very well could be the final 5 episodes.

The Fate of Veronica Mars

Apparently there are 3 options for Veronica Mars for next season.

The least likely option being considered is that it's left as is, with next season picking up where this season leaves off. (Or at the start of her sophomore college year.)

The next option is that it is moved 4 years in the future with her in FBI Academy. The only comfirmed cast member for this scenario is Veronica herself (Kristin Bell).

Final Option would be cancellation.

An article about it is here. With an address if one cares to send a Save Veronica Postcard.

It Gets Worse.....

The CW is going to ruin VMars. First they are bumping it from some crappy Reality show, about some Crappy no talent pop band, that no one cares about. Now they are going to get rid of the Overarcing Story and make it stand-alone stories.

Once again TV Execs prove they should all be fired. Than tortured, than Drawn and Quartered.

It's true. VMars to be bumped after second Arc.

Well what AoD mentioned is true. This just once again proves that TV Execs are stupid.

The good news is though that it will allow VMars to complete it's second arc of the season prior to hiatus, and will be back for it's final 5 eps this year. It also sounded positive for a 4th season renewal, at least better than it sounded at the end of last year.

But still do we really need another stupid brainless reality show, about a group no one really cares about, or do we need a decent tv show, that's getting some of the best ratings on a fledgling network, that's really well written with strong characters.

You know, It's times like these, that make me realize why I hate everyone and think people are stupid. The majority would probably rather have the pussycat dolls.

Ugh!

Season 3

As one who has no trust in the executives who decide what is and isn't shown on T.V. I've been following the show renewal season closely. Especially since the fate of Veronica Mars was still up in the air, as the CW hadn't decided whether to give it a 3rd season or not.

Well fortunately the news came down today and the CW has ordered a full 22 episode third season, but they do reserve the right to reduce it to only 13 eps depending on ratings.

Here's hoping that The CW advertises, doesn't put it up against House, American Idol, or Lost, and doesn't have it take extended 5 week breaks during the season.

Also let's hope they get wise and pair it up with something like Gilmore Girls as a lead in instead of something dumb like this year's lead-in of America's Next Top Model. (Sorry Wren)

... But I Haven't Thought Of You Lately At All...

On Tuesday we had talked about getting together to watch the finale.

We can do it at my house if you all are interested. We can maybe make it a pot luck type deal.

Since we have TiVo we can maybe eat around 7:30 ish., than start watching VMars around 8:20, 8:30 ish to give it enough of a bumper so we can avoid those advertisement thingies.

This also goes for the members of the Homestarmy who aren't watching VMars if you'd like to come.

21 episodes down, 1 to go. With the great setup getting us ready for the finale there are still many questions?

Is "Mr. Good Wood" just a pedophile or is he a mass-murdering pedophile?

What kind of reveng will Aaron try to get on VM?

What's up with Beaver and Kendall Casablancas?

What's up with Kendall and the Fitzpatrick's?

What's up with Terrance and the Casino Owner?

What's up with Veronica's name on Curly's hand?

And more importantly, who do you think did it?

Personally I'm not buying "Mr. Good Wood" as the final culprit. It still leaves too many questions. Right now I'm leaning towards Kendall and the Fitzpatrick's Insurance scheme.

However recent developments also make me wonder if the first theory of the year isn't the truth. Could this all have been a revenge scheme by Aaron?

What's everyones opinions, so that we can see next Tuesday who was right, who was wrong, and who will be shocked.
