I'm more pleased with Charisma Carpenter's execution of her VM role than I am with Alyson Hannigan's
I have to agree with this. AH wasn't bad, but it was nothing she hadn't already done before. CC on VM (so to speak) was sex-ay, which, despite her gorgeousity, she'd never been convincing at on BtVS or AtS.
Note to Cashmere: I typed "you man" when I meant "you mean". Corrected, now.
I was thrilled to see Aly, and I even get a kick out of the Trina character, but I'm very conscious that it is Aly playing a character, and I'm conscious of her trying to act, if that makes any sense. I'm not sure she was the best choice, but I'm too sentimental about the BtVS cast to be anything less than thrilled to have her on my screen in yet another show I love. I wish I could stand HIMYM. I did love
Kitchen Confidential,
and we know where that got it.
Is everybody getting two hours of VM on Tuesday this week or just me? I wouldn't have noticed and reset my Tifaux to record properly if I hadn't just gotten a new DVR.
Per TVGuide, it looks like we are, too:
My Mother, the Fiend,
and
One Angry Veronica.
I wonder if they're going to try to get all 22 episode shown over the summer. I'd assumed they'd skip some.
they definitely could have skipped OAV. blech.
Unfortunately, some pretty major plot elements occur in the episode.

You know, that's too bad, Simon, because I bet they could pull off a really nice, noir storyline in pen and ink.
A moody b/w story would have been great. It's a puzzling decision by Warner Bros. They stood to make money from it. At the minute, there's (or there's going to be) Angel, CSI, Highlander, Xena, Battlestar Galactica (both versions) and the Stargate comic books. I can't see it why Veronica Mars couldn't become one as well.
Sounds like internal politics at Warner.
