That's funny!

Hey, thanks for the kudos for my blog post. I'd forgotten all about it and was surprised as anyone to click on the link. I always forget how accessible blog posts are, and hope that others read past all the typos and poorly worded sentences as quickly as I wrote them.

Anyway, I just watched the show and enjoyed many of the elements y'all have already mentioned. There was a particularly nice moment when Mac realized that she was going to call Max and the barest hint of a smile played out on her face, like she had been waiting for an excuse. Piz's call-out to Austin's late, lamented Liberty Lunch was also a nice little moment.

He's not the love of her life,

Oh, why do you say that? I think he's lovely and the handholding was all kinds of 'aww'.

No, I thought it was very sweet too, and I like Piz a lot -- much more than I expected to when he was first introduced -- but I do think they're not meant to stay together. It seems to me that their relationship is being used on the show as a foil for Veronica/Logan, rather than as a viable thing in its own right. I could be wrong, and in fact, I hope I am, but that seems like the likely outcome.

Who just happens to be JOEL SILVER, producer of Veronica Mars.

Ha! Okay, that is awesome.

You know, I can't say I'll be sad if the rest of the show's episodes are as fluffy and fun as this one was. It's a totally different show from the neo-noir I fell in love with, but I'm liking the lighter tone, and I've given up on ever getting another Season 1. If I can't have dark, morally ambiguous characters, class struggle, and the seedy underbelly of a sunny California town, I'm happy to settle for snappy dialogue, romantic angst, and in-jokes.

Are any of you posting as "RandomCoyotes" on TWoP?

why do you ask, Cindy? (i'm much too lazy to try to sift through threads. so it's not me.)

why do you ask, Cindy?

Because the person is sane.

Ha! I really thought you wanted to say the opposite, but wanted to make sure it wasn't a Buffista first. Guess that's the my pessimistic nature.

What? You mean they still find VM a pretty enjoyable show even if it does have missteps, doesn't "want to puke" at the idea of Piz and Veronica but still admits there's some smouldery action with Logan and doesn't decry "END OF THE SHOW!" every week?

That kind of poster?

(I have maybe ever posted on TWOP once or twice, but forgot my login and decided it wasn't that important and I liked it here better anyway)

Yes, the ones who are saying it "deserves" to be cancelled.

isn't this kind of TWoP's raison d'etre though? they hate on shows nonstop. that's the main reason i never really bothered to sign up. i've found that even if i love a show, when fandom starts to rip it apart, i tend to lose quite a bit of that love if only by osmosis.

Heh. Yeah. Exactly. It was disconcerting.

Plus the person makes insightful comments. I was kind of wondering if it could be victor, or anotherista.

edit...

If it's victor though, he's making his smiley faces in a non-victor way.
