Which reminds me, why did Shanks leave for a season. Was he written off because the writers wanted to try something really dramatic? Or did he want off for some reason?

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
from what i can remember he wanted to try other things. i don't think he ever really did though. the fandom went a bit crazy(as fandoms are wont to do) when he left and he came back for one or two eps and then just decided to come back full time. whether or not (a) crazy fan(s) "coerced" him or not is unclear.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Fay, Veronica Mars is not cancelled, and is not moving to another channel. The second season hasn't started yet.
I know not Lost, but I'm kind of in awe of the excellent button-pushing job they're doing on me with Logan...."OMG. Break him some more. It's so PRETTY."
You're going to have to trust me when I say when this man and this man have a torture scene. It is True Love (in a fantastically fucked up way).

I'm sorry, when the actor wants to leave, you gotta let him go. Really.
Not that his career was so fabulous afterwards...

I seriously doubt that the crazy fans directly influenced Shanks' return, but they may have had a hand in influencing the producers to back a truck full of money up to his door once the relative popularity of Nemec's character became apparent.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Oh, David, you're such an enabler.
...not that this should be a thing that I enjoy. But apparently it is. Within reason. Um.
So, Lost premiers here tomorrow. I should watch, is what you're saying?
