and what about the part where he called immigration on the dude for handing out the flyers? and what about the part where I didn't really care about the actual 'mystery' of the episode at all because I'm more into the dialogue and the characters I actually know? and what about...um...okay so I never said it was the greatest episode of all time. still though, did you want him to go all 'ay yi yi yi' and execute his daughter in the public square? he's iraqi-american, not talibani; iraqis who have been in the u.s. for a long time are probably some of the most pro-u.s. patriotic dudes in history, probably shah-affiliated, etc.

oh why do i bother, i sound like a jerk.

ugh I definitely need to not see this episode.

― horseshoe, Friday, 4 May 2007 15:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Dimension 5ive, was that really in response to me?

― RJG, Friday, 4 May 2007 15:14 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't even know, anymore.

― Dimension 5ive, Friday, 4 May 2007 15:21 (seventeen years ago) link

You're not the one sounding like a jerk, believe me.

according to what I just read, the creator was allowed to shoot a pilot for a new version of the show that goes ahead a few years and has veronica working for the FBI (as speculated above), but whether that is finished and whether or not the CW has decided to pick that up next year, I don' tknow. I think the word is that if they don't, the show is dead.

gilmore girls isn't coming back either.

― akm, Friday, 4 May 2007 16:38 (seventeen years ago) link

wait i want to know who is the one sounding like a jerk

No roffles over Piz's internship with "the most prestigious music writers on the planet"?

I think wrapping up the Kendall Casablancas storyline is probably the best chance this show has to go out more bang than whimper.

― goth casual, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 19:43 (seventeen years ago) link

I believe it was "the most highly regarded music publication on the internet," but yeah, roffles. I'm kind of amazed that CW is still on the fence about renewing this show, it's not like they have much else going for them, might as well stick with something that has a small but loyal audience.

― Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 19:48 (seventeen years ago) link

oh I was roffling all right

"It's like I'm in the porn version of Groundhog Day."

Mac's admission that "love makes me lazy" but then choosing to be lazy albeit with scruples that will eventually become stumbling blocks in themselves rang true to me. Lots of great relationship stuff in this ep actually, characters making different subtle little choices about commitment that played well against each's history. I can't imagine the show being as detailed or interesting in its peripheral characters if they continue it at the FBI. Actually I can't imagine an FBI VM at all, have there been any FBI shows since the X-Files?

Say my name and I appear (usually).

the problem is the stupid pussycat dolls 'get me another skank' show outdrew veronica mars. apparently the cw's new strategy is programming shows that like the america's funniest home videos of youtube. i swear to god i wish i was kidding.

Oh man, I can totally update my "21st century so far" list:

1. Robot hegemony
2. Monkey comeback
3. Re-established robot hegemony
4. Zombie revolution (zombies in, robots out)
5. Failed undercurrent of pirate
6. Wizard remains confined to child-fan ghetto
7. Ninja resurgence
8. Skanks
9. Cowboys
10. SPARTANS (I totally failed to predict this)

New predictions:

1. Skank oversaturation
2. Marines
3. Vikings (with a bullet)
4. Bike cops
5. Ghost comeback
6. Skank backlash

Classics holding strong:

1. Douchebags

It's Over

― C. Grisso/McCain, Thursday, 17 May 2007 16:28 (seventeen years ago) link

The new "Gossip Girl," about a group of prep school teenagers in Manhattan, will be given the biggest push. The CW scheduled it for Wednesdays at 9 p.m. after its top-rated program, "America's Next Top Model."

The CW's only new comedy, "Aliens in America," is about a high school student trying to adjust to a Pakistani exchange student. "Life is Wild" is a drama about a New York City family spending a year at a game reserve in South Africa

The new drama "Reaper" features one of the CW's oldest new characters: a 21-year-old. His parents sold his soul to the devil and he's assigned to track down evil escapees from hell.

On Sunday nights, the network will debut "The CW Now," an entertainment-oriented newsmagazine for 18-to-34-year-olds. "Online Nation" will talk about what's hot on the Web.

In midseason, the CW will bring on a reality show, "Farmer Wants a Wife," about a country guy choosing among 10 women fed up with big-city prospects.

fuck. i really kinda wanted to see the FBI idea, could've turned out cool. maybe they can put those 4th season 'trailers' on the season 3 DVD?

can we start handicapping the odds of a) Rob Thomas getting another series or b) Kristen Bell having a movie career that involves better projects than 'Pulse'?

― Alex in Baltimore, Thursday, 17 May 2007 16:35 (seventeen years ago) link

or c) VM getting picked up by another network? Or does the CW own the show?

― Rock Hardy, Thursday, 17 May 2007 16:39 (seventeen years ago) link

these last two eps (just saw them today) were better than the previous one but not hard

there was even a funny bit, when veronica said to keith, about the fall in robberies, "I smell trend!". much better than the awful refs and rubbish jokes that fall flat

parker is so annoying. the only characters I like are cliff, wallace (underused and boring, this season, though), keith, sometimes, and veronica, occasionally. I think scientology has ruined this show for me. logan w/ his lazyface-stupidvoice and piz w/ his...well, he has a stupid face, anyway

not bothered if it's finished

― RJG, Thursday, 17 May 2007 16:44 (seventeen years ago) link

what the hell is "the CW"??

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 17 May 2007 16:54 (seventeen years ago) link

The CW Television Network, casually referred to as The CW, or most recently as The New CW (due to it being a new network) is a television network in the United States launched during the 2006 television season. It features a mixture of programming from both UPN and The WB television networks, which ceased independent operations on September 15, 2006 and September 17, 2006 respectively.

― RJG, Thursday, 17 May 2007 16:56 (seventeen years ago) link

does it stand for anything?

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:09 (seventeen years ago) link

The CW is a joint venture between CBS Corporation, owner of UPN, and Warner Bros. Entertainment, a subsidiary of Time Warner, majority owner of The WB. Its name derives from the first letter of the names of these two corporations (CBS and Warner Bros.).

Canceling Worthwhile Television :(

― nabisco, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:18 (seventeen years ago) link

I liked Piz. I am glad Logan was doing away with all of his jazz hands this season. SAD.

― Yerac, Thursday, 17 May 2007 18:50 (seventeen years ago) link

It's gonna be a lonely Tuesday night. RIP Gilmore Girls & Veronica Mars.

― Virginia Plain, Thursday, 17 May 2007 21:35 (seventeen years ago) link

piz really bad

― RJG, Thursday, 17 May 2007 22:19 (seventeen years ago) link

piz okay. Logan turned so useless though! v. sad

last week's was great. mystery sucked, but Paul Rudd was way funny. Mac/Logan as well.

― HPSCHD, Thursday, 17 May 2007 22:30 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, I hate mac and max, too

yay

― Melissa W, Friday, 18 May 2007 05:46 (seventeen years ago) link

The only good thing about Mac+Max - it's pretty much impossible for fans to fuse their names into a "Spuffy"-like word.

― V, Friday, 18 May 2007 12:48 (seventeen years ago) link

macx?

― RJG, Friday, 18 May 2007 20:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Shit. That finale actually demonstrated a bit of S1-style brilliance.

― J, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 02:00 (seventeen years ago) link

the mets get clobbered by the braves and veronica mars ends with an episode that brings back the ******s

what a shitastic end to a craptastic day

― maura, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 02:06 (seventeen years ago) link

dear maura an' j - can you tell me how they can end it. like. that?

― BleepBot, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 02:54 (seventeen years ago) link

total bummer.

― s.clover, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 02:57 (seventeen years ago) link

guys what happened???

― horseshoe, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 02:57 (seventeen years ago) link

wow

― Dimension 5ive, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 04:26 (seventeen years ago) link

It was so cruel for them to end with an ep that so reminded me of why I so love this show.

― i, grey, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 07:53 (seventeen years ago) link

damn yall, i am now totally tempted to order this. it's import so hellaexpensive but i am craving for some veronica mars.

― nathalie, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 08:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Can any Europeans on this thread tell me if they have the region 1 version of season 1, and if it works? I've heard people saying that it works on region 2 players despite being labelled region 1, but I want to be sure.

― V, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 11:01 (seventeen years ago) link

I have the region 1 and 2 boxes and it works on my UK player - there is usually a simple, googleable hack to make your DVD player multi-region.

― Stevie T, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 11:06 (seventeen years ago) link

(region 1 boxes for seasons 1 and 2 I mean)

― Stevie T, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 11:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Thank god I didn't press order: I didn't know there was a reg.1&2.

― nathalie, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 11:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Never seen this -- worth renting the first season DVD?

― Chuck_Tatum, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 19:10 (seventeen years ago) link

No, because you will be so heartbroken and distraught that the subsequent seasons are sooooo awful in comparison to the utopian splendour of season 1 that the difference will cause you to wish you'd never seen the show and then kill yourself, or failing that, complain on a message board.
