They just have ABC. You'll have to hop over to Paramount.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

(why do people care about the door so much anyway, that's what I don't get, but whatev...)

Heh. You sound just like Diane Ruggiero:

Diane: He's pretty good about listening to people's opinions and hearing them out. There's been a couple of times where I've disagreed with him, and I was so completely wrong. [chuckles]

MI.net: Would you like to elaborate?

Diane: That "Who's at the Door?" thing last year. I thought, I'm like, [skeptical, you-are-so-wrong voice] "No one is going to care."

MI.net: That's all anybody asks!

Diane: And everybody was like, [high-pitched fangirly voice] "Who's at the door? Who's at the door?" But I was saying, "That's not big enough." I so didn't think that was big enough. He was like, "Trust me. People are going to be talking about it, talking about it." I'm like, [whiny, eye-rolling voice] "No they're not." And I so wasn't on board with it. But I think I only mentioned it like once and admitted it to him later. He's like, "Really? I thought you were really into that." [bashful voice] "No...I really didn't think it would work." I was so completely wrong.

Oh! We have a thread! So I can pimp our interview with Rick Pickett, the graphic designer. It's really interesting. Rick is great.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

The final line is perfect. I'm going to steal that for a future tag.

Friends don't let friends dismiss Veronica Mars unjustly.

YES! A VM thread! Finally I can discuss VM on the boards where P-C forced me to watch it. Ack, brand new thread and I'm already sooo behind.

My random musings:

On LoVe: For whatever reason, I totally buy it. I actually startled myself because when they kissed, I literally cheered out loud. And then I was like "Was I rooting for that?" The writers just lulled me into it so gradually that I never realized I was expecting them to get together. I think the banter throughout the season, coupled (snerk) with their moments of bonding over Lilly and their mothers, really sold it for me.

On Veronica's ethics and such: Some of my favorite moments throughout the season were when Veronica was being her hardcore ends-justify-the-means self and someone either called her on it or somehow derailed her. Carmen calling off the revenge in "M.A.D." is one of those moments. Meg telling her she's not alone is another. And of course, the finale is the ultimate of these as she runs into a situation even her smarts and savvy can't solve and we see beyond her tough exterior and remember she's a 17-year-old girl. So I enjoyed watching Veronica snoop and pry because it fit her character, but I also enjoyed watching her worldview be upset by the other characters, demonstrating that her path wasn't necessarily ideal.

And man, it took some serious effort to skip this whole page of whitefont and not read the stuff about the promo I'm making myself not watch.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

it's honestly not spoilery in the least. i don't really think promos, in general, are spoilery. mostly because the network is generally clueless about the shows.

watching those three minutes of the show told me nothing. they just served to get me more excited than i already was(and that's saying a lot).

What is even happening?

Are the promos airing on TV, yet? If so, we don't white font them, here. Our spoiler rules are slightly different from other sites. Basically, if it's on air, it's fair game.

two of the promos have aired. most of what we whitefonted was discussion of the three minutes of the first episode up on UPN's website.

Hey, I wrote that line. I've been quoted!

In case you haven't read Rick's interview, he is taking fan suggestions about background props and incorporating them into the show.

I watched all twenty two episodes in the last two weeks, completely unspoiled. Just finished watching the finale about twenty minutes ago. Head go 'splodey now.
