yeah, i wondered about that as well. i thought maybe he had some insider knowledge about a fourth season though. i never expected him to be killed off.
At one point, I wondered if Lamb would be killed off, but I figured it would be the final mystery, or something like that. Then, when I heard about Muhney up for other pilots, I just figured he was hedging his bets, in case VM didn't make it back, or that maybe he was not happy with how little screen time he got. I never expected him to die this soon. I was so surprised.
I broke down and put a VM wallpaper on my desktop. I guess I'm really hooked now.
What's the wallpaper, vw?
ION, I cannot believe how upset the fandom is. I think MM is a peach, and I loved to hate Lamb. I think MM did a fine job with the role, but I also think it's courageous of Rob & company to kill off such a well-received character, played by such a popular actor, and the potential this opens up, storyline-wise is nearly limitless.

This, for now: [link]
I think there was a lot of potential with Lamb's character by not killing him off. of course, most of it would be flashback-y and RT seems to want to move away from that, but whatever. i guess the opportunity is still there because with flashbacks it wouldn't matter if he was dead in present time.
i'm also annoyed that they just dropped the potential of giving Lamb some backstory. after the hint of abuse in Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner, i was expecting something. once again though...no emotional fallout.

I was just about to post something like this. He'd also be a good one to turn up and taunt Veronica in her dreams occasionally.

We'll just have to go ask the Eye of Botox for details.
I'm actually glad to see Lamb go. I get the whole actor is great and stuff, but I never liked the character. He grated on me, and not in a pleasurable way. And, I don't think he's that good looking.
There. I said it.

I think this, too. But since he is dead, I just see so many dynamics changing in Neptune. Will Veronica and Keith end up at odds? What will happen with Mars Investigations? Vonnie hit a lot of what I'm thinking about, in her LJ.

That's the show's fatal flaw -- it skimps on emotional resonance. Once season 2 ended, I really didn't think we'd get any more out of Lamb's story from NPBiaC, so I guess I already had that disappointment a while back.
These last two weeks, for me, have really made me feel like my show is back.
There. I said it.
Hee. You're adorable, vw.
ION, I cannot believe how upset the fandom is.
I don't even go out of my little corner of LJ for VM discussion these days, because I just cannot deal. God knows I've had my issues with this season, but the relentless negativity and the extremely *personal*-sounding animosity against Rob T kind of freaks me out. I mean, Lamb was a fun character in his way and I know Michael M was a sweetheart, but that particular character has always served as a goofy comic foil and incompetent adversary to Keith and Veronica; what few hints of depth we've seen were nowhere near enough to counteract what a shallow, raging (if entertaining) jackass he has always been. It's a freakin' noir-verse. Not every dickhead has to hide a heart of a woobie behind his jackholitude, you know?
Personally, I loved the way he died, and the way his death totally shook the status quo of the show. Keith & Veronica show has always been defined by their outsider status, and now, Keith is The Man, and Veronica is... going to be on the opposite side of the law from her father very frequently. Talk about a paradigm shift.

Wheee!

Me, too and yes. I thought the show was firing on all cylinders (sp?) these last couple of weeks. I'm so pleased with it, again, and I like how things look from here.
I think this was the first time in the entire season when I felt like I wanted to see where they might go with all this in the fourth season.
Yes, yes, and yes.
My apologies for the contentless post, but this show has been so frustrating lately I almost cried at how good last night's episode was.
