On the Cancellation of Veronica Mars...

[newnumber6]

So, it's looking quasi official. Veronica Mars seems to be cancelled (barring some unlikely although still technically possible reprieve before June 14th, the date the network officially has to make a decision by).

It's strange though. After this year... it's not so much that I didn't _care_ if it was cancelled, I wanted it to be renewed, but I wouldn't be terribly disappointed either. My reaction was, "Oh well, it had a decent run". I think that was partly because they'd talked about dropping the longer mystery arcs. In any event, I was okay with it.

But once they started floating the idea that it might survive by jumping a few years ahead in time and having Veronica in the FBI... I was really looking forward to that. I'm more disappointed at not being able to see _that_ than I am that Veronica Mars itself was cancelled.

Looking over the new schedule... the new fall season looks to stink. A couple shows I'm mildly interested in, but none I'm excited about, and some returning shows I'm happy about of course. But no wow factor like last year. I'll give a more complete rundown sometime in the next few days probably.

Bugger.

I've actually been enjoying this season very much. I think the episodic format works really well, and I like the college environment.

However.

Special Agent Veronica Mars? Just the thought of that gets me excited. I'd pay good money to see that in any medium. If not TV, then please, let it be novelized!

Yeah, despite this season I'm going to miss it.

And here I thought the CW couldn't suck any more. Sigh.

I just don't understand why people don't watch Veronica Mars. It's way better than most shows out there. There's only so much reality TV I can take before I go crazy.

I'm still hoping it'll come back! *crosses fingers*

I also think Veronica in the future training for the FBI would be totally cool to watch...*is still hopeful it could come back*

Oh! Did I tell you about how I picked up the graphic novel of Fray and am LOVING it so far?? It's fantastic! :D Have you read it? (I'm 99% sure you have :P)

Well, you'd be wrong, since I've never read Fray. Intend to at some point, but never got around to it. But still, yay for getting comics in general! Now if I could just get you into Runaways my mission would be complete! ;)

I actually plan to read Runaways next! :) So you're very close to your secret-ninja-comicbook-guy mission. :P

You should totally read Fray. It's fantastic so far. :)
