go pirates!

So I noticed a few cuts in Veronica Mars last night. Apparently there were a couple with Smallville, too, so I must go watch closely to figure out what they were. The 7:30 timeslot needs a PG rating so they do have to edit out some of the violence, and poor old Lilly copped the brunt of the censors. I don't know if the Lilly gore was really

I came in midway through season 1, when things were already established and kicking along so maybe that's why it didn't feel like the premise was clear last night - I'm relying on the knowledge of episodes to come or something.

But yeah, there didn't really seem to be a need for the censoring. I can remember certain censored SV scenes making no sense back in the day and if that happens again, we're in trouble. I'm going to have to send away for that classification information they always advertise on TV, just to see what we're up against. Also, I heard something on ABC radio a couple of years ago, back when the SV censoring was on my mind and possibly when Janet Jackson showed her nipple, where they talked about censorship here and in America. It seems we're more strict on violence, and they're more strict on sex. It was an interesting look at society through pop culture.

Ooh, I just discovered Father Bob has a blog so my day is complete. I just love how he looks so cute and cuddly but then he'll cut you down with one sentence, and any guy who can hold his own with John Safran has to be a legend. I loved his grumbling about them allowing Dr Death (Philip Nitschke) into the studio last night, and am intrigued by how he avoided the gay marriage issue. Meh, it's probably some Freudian thing to do with my Catholic upbringing.

And I think it was the initial premise of Veronica that seemed Chloe-ish - the plucky young girl, the hair, solving cases at school, living alone with her dad. Veronica and Chloe are different to me, too. Though it *would* be fun to see them team up one day.

It could be that too.

I can't even remember any censored SV scenes except the one at the end of Dichotic where the guy falls off and you see him about to fall, then it cuts to Chloe and Lana looking down and it's clear what happened, but...

THat makes sense, the stricter on violence thing.

Hee. He does!

Oh, I lvoe that, I really do. Hee. Possibly.

Kind of Chloe-ish, I guess, but she feels different. Oh, teaming up would be fun.

Why did no one ever tell me Veronica's dad was Elliott from Just Shoot Me, though? Hee. I like him.
