Joss goes all fanboy over Veronica Mars
Best. Show. Ever. Seriously, I've never gotten more wrapped up in a show I wasn't making, and maybe even more than those. Crazy crisp dialogue. Incredibly tight plotting. Big emotion, I mean BIG, and charsimatic actors and I was just DYING from the mystery and the relationships and PAIN, this show knows from pain and no, I don't care, laugh all you want, I had to share this. These guys know what they're doing on a level that intimidates me.
He's an adorable dork and I'd totally pinch his cheeks if he were standing next to me.
I found an article from USA Today that explains it. (Stupid me, I was using yahoo not google before).

Last night, we were watching a disc of Season 1 Deadwood (really good show, isn't it? shrift, you're going to have to pick this up at some point so you can write me Seth/Sol), and husband said, "Hey, that's Veronica Mars."
And it actually was. It's a show full of wonderful actors, and she really held her own.
I don't think I've ever seen Joss be SUCH a fanboy before. I'm sure he has, but I can't remember (except maybe over the cast of Firefly).
I can't remember the details, and my Googling abilities seem to have left me, but there will be a "switch off" date when everything will go from analog to digital.
But I think that's just broadcast TV. The change is being forced by the FCC. I don't think that cable is required to switch over to digital (although they might do so on their own).
It sounds like Comcast in my town has a bunch more channels non-digital than elsewhere, but then Somerville is a two-cable-system town (RCN is the competitor) so that may affect what they offer and how they offer it.
At any rate, I've got digital, as part of my cable/internet package, but this is going to hurt a number of fans that I know....
OTOH, maybe I can get them to come over to my house for Friday night viewings.... ::plots::
I finally watched Alias. I got the 1st disc from Netflix.
Wow. I don't know why I haven't been watching the show from the beginning. I can't remember why I resisted. I had to send the disc back right away so I can see the end to the cliffhanger.
Well, if they are attempting to get their stations all over to digital than doing one at a time seems a little bit ridiculous and JUST at the point at which Sci Fi is getting critical acclaim and increased attention for BSG. . . the timing seems suspicious.
Gateworld's editorial about the change.
OK, I read all that article and it looks like cable providers have to switch too. Didn't know that....
