Veronica Mars

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

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.

macx?

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

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

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

total bummer.

guys what happened???

wow

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Ignore Leee, he's a whiner. Rent it.

wow, what a bleak ending.

It's actually an incredibly bleak show, under the sun and quips.

Thanks for the recommendation, Lee!

(Goes to video store.)

Oh, this show remembered how to be good, right at the end! I felt like it was actually better when it came back after the break.

Did anybody else feel like they were almost shopping it around to be picked up for another season by somebody else? I don't really know if that's likely or what's gone on or anything - it just all felt like set up to me. I wish we'd had some stuff like that from the beginning of series 3, that would have set the whole thing up well.

Rob Thomas is already talking a VM feature film ala Firefly/Serenity tradition.

I am excited, if there's no Logan. Please God let them ditch Logan.

I was actually just remarking that I could get down with a spinoff of Logan and Dick (no homo).

those two were depressingly good. reminders of s1 brilliance OTM.

I think my post was too high-concept!

very crap

I am in love with Logan.

no !

My TiVO deleted the second storyline, I think, but I started on the last group of eps (with the Arab family) and it was really, really good. Looking forward to a more-Logan-free last six or seven.
