but I then wonder why we even had the voting booth scene at all.
I think just to remind us that voting was happening right THEN.
I think for what -t notes was an Angelesque moment. It showed Veronica doing what she could, even though she could do nothing. I think it was also there to drive home that she lost the election for Keith. Poor Veronica. She started out the series saying the people who love you let you down. She finished the series letting down the person she most loves.
The finale knocked my socks off, by the way. I don't have much to say about it, because every single time I start, I get lost in thought about it.
Now that it's over...my favorite episodes:
hmmm...i really need to think about htis.
Thanks, le nubian. And that made me want to try VM again (I bailed out in the first season as I just forgot to keep watching)
What? Kevin, don't make me hit you. Get to watching.
It's okay, you can hit me. Truth be told, I sometimes wait for shows I think I might like to get canceled before watching them, as I know I can pace myself through it and know where the end is going to be. Plus, too many shows at once leads to erratic(er) Kevin.
Re: The article
"Veronica lacked the budget, and the wild visual and narrative pyrotechnics, that make the likes of Lost and Battlestar Galactica so buzzworthy."
I know VM was made pretty cheaply, but didn't it still have about twice the budget of BSG? BSG airs on the Sci-Fi channel, after all.
BSG has a pretty generous budget. It is shared by Sky One (someone correct me if I am wrong). I'm sure it is at least double that of VM.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure BSG is now about the level of Firefly's budget on FOX. It's not cheap. Hence all the speculation season 4 will be the last. All credit to Sci-Fi for keeping that on the air.
Rewatched "Welcome Wagon" -- I wish that they could have given us one more scene of Back Up. I like Back Up.
