I’d just like to give a shout out to the creator of VERONICA MARS, Rob Thomas. I think his dedication to the fans is simply awesome (even though I have yet to be included, no, I’m not at all bitter). But seriously, last night, Rob Thomas and VM star Jason Dohring (Logan Echolls) hosted an exclusive video web chat with lucky media members and fellow TV bloggers. They answered questions and talked about the show. Since I wasn’t included (no seriously, I’m not crying all over my keyboard) I thought I’d take the high road and point you to dedicated sites that were lucky enough to be included (who did they sleep with?).
But first, I just wanted to throw in my two cents on something mentioned in last night’s chat. Rob Thomas wants fan feedback on a Season 3 possibility (there will most likely be a season 3, excellent!). The writers are wondering if instead of one large season long mystery (as there is now), should there be 3 smaller mysteries lasting 7 episodes each? I think splitting up the season into three mysteries would be an excellent idea. While I enjoyed last season’s ‘Who Killed Lilly’ plot, I find that this season’s ‘Bus Crash’ mystery has been a bit hard to follow, especially when many episodes have had nothing to do with the crash. More importantly, I believe smaller mysteries will allow for better access for the Veronica Mars newbie, who has no idea what’s going on.
