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.
News found at TWOP:
Ausiello reported that the FBI trailer is going to be on the Season 3 DVD's, so at least we'll get to see what that might have been like.
I suppose I should have doublechecked over at TV Guide.
Well played, writers, well played.
Aww. What a sweet chica.
That's adorable.
Personally, I'm happy about both of her other roles mentioned in that article. Gossip Girl is going to be a huge guilty pleasure for me, I can already predict. And Kristen in a Judd Apatow flick sounds like a match made in cinematic heaven.
Well, the last flame of hope has flickered out. [link]
Maybe now the healing can begin...
The CW has officially pulled the plug on Veronica Mars. Series creator Rob Thomas confirmed the news for me via e-mail just moments ago.
"I'm afraid I have to report that Veronica Mars is officially dead," he wrote. "At least in TV show form. There's really no way that it can happen now. I'm not sure the CW should've given the glimmer of hope. I think Dawn Ostroff genuinely would have liked to have continued on with a version of the show, but there was too much resistance around her. At the end of the day, it would've been kinder had the band aid simply been ripped off rather peeled away in than this agonizingly slow manner."
Ironically, the news comes just as Veronica Mars fans — emboldened by Jericho's 11th hour resurrection — are in the midst of bombarding The CW with thousands of Mars candy bars in advance of that June 15 deadline.
In light of this development, it might make sense to redirect those deliveries to Warner Bros.' feature division — specifically, the folks who would be responsible for greenlighting a Veronica Mars film. Just a thought. If you've got a better idea, by all means, post it below.
