A few thoughts on Geraldine Jupiter (What Darcy calls Veronica Mars - he likes it though!)

So the VM fandom kinda imploded, huh? I don't know why and I don't care. It's nice to be me. :)

Have been watching VM recently (::smooches to [livejournal.com profile] marsterslady again::) and have been enjoying it very much. But I'm easy that way - I'm like Juliet: "I shall look to like, if looking liking moves."


Have only watched 12 episodes, so DON"T SPOIL ME!!!!

I think the show could be summed up as 'pretty, but gritty.' Or maybe the other way round. I like the stories and the overall arch and Veronica is very good heroine. Nothing much like Buffy, except she's blonde and in High School.
(I could write a whole essay on the subject, but funnily enough I don't have the time...)

I'm beginning to see where all the Logan love comes from, as well as the Logan/Veronica shipping, but to be honest I'm not too bothered about any ships. Actually almost all relationships seem to happen off-screen: 'Here's Troy. He's nice and Veronica likes him. Now they're dating! Oh and now he's a two-timing, drug-trafficking bastard.' The way some characters are not fleshed out is probably my main grumbling point. Wallace is sort of Tara at the moment - 'he's really nice and Veronica likes him.' And that's really all I know about him. But I'm sure he'll get an episode sooner or later.

I don't really have time for much more, except to say: "Why did no one ever mention Weevil???" I think I need a Weevil icon! Seriously. (*So* much more Spike-like than Logan! And Logan is cute, but Weevil is hot. Have I alienated enough people yet?)

Must run, I shouldn't be here!

because who needs a replay of all that was the nastiest of Buffy fandom?

That pretty much turned me off of the show period. I know so many people in VM fandom who like to blame everything they don't like on Joss and Marti (?). It's bizarre. Rob Thomas has said before that he never even watched Buffy, but somehow, people still think he's taking cues from the evil Whedonites. *sighs* Whatever.
