Veronica Mars

just now noticed my autocorrect issue. Liz was obviously meant to be Piz

S3 ended strong

S4 was A+ but that ending ... :( X infinity

I kinda admire Rob Thomas for the honesty of directly admitting that he mainly killed off Logan cause he had no concept of how VM could be a continuing, interesting story if Veronica is happy/content

Unfortunately he seems to have misjudged interest—Are we getting a season 5? Man reviews of s4 were way more scathing than i realized

I though it was pretty good! Surprised so many people care about logan anyway, it’s not like he blew up Keith

So we have been rewatching Veronica Mars sporadically as it's been on a channel here. Finally got around to re-watching the movie a couple of weeks ago.
Got a Lionsgate trial subscription to watch Party Down, and a ton of Mars Universe actors pop up in that, including Keith Mars.

The past few days, we decided to watch Contagion - thought it might be 'fun' after the pandemic. Anyway, Keith Mars again pops up in it, kinda weird.

Before ditching Lionsgate, thought we might as well watch Station Eleven (not yet convinced that was a good idea, not least right after Contagion). Anyway! Guess who rides up on a bike in that? Keith Mars again.
I'm not complaining, I like seeing him. It's just a bit like he's following us about.

wait until 90s sitcom Just Shoot Me shows up on streaming

Never heard of it! best one yet was Galaxy Quest.

Party Down was created by the non-Matchbox Rob Thomas, who also created Veronica Mars

I, Zombie too. Keith Mars actor shows up there also.

I, Zombie of course is another Rob Thomas show - pretty much all of the main veronica mars actors appeared on that show at some point

I, Juggalo

I revisited high school romance comedy Drive Me Crazy, which I hadn't realized (but have now learned) was scripted by Rob Thomas. When it came out in November 1999, it was third in a series of similarly themed flicks that year – after She's All That and 10 Things I Hate About You – and while it's less flashy than those two, it has a certain low-key appeal and degree of "realism" that generate particular interest. The dialogue is a step above, and there are certain character beats that reflect Thomas's skill & sensibilities. Cool soundtrack, too...
