Veronica Mars has been canceled and last night was the season finale (filmed before they knew the show was canceled).  I agree with everyone who has said that the 2nd season was not as strong and edgy as the 1st, and that the 3rd was weaker still....  But still I have to say that the characters and writing on Veronica Mars is better than 99% of ( Read more... )

Well my Tuesday was pretty weird, I posted about Flan2 after midnight and stayed up really late (it was much later for those on the East coast) watching the fall out on various sites.  Yesterday ended up being mostly about the convention and of course we won't know until Friday what will end up happening (but it doesn't look good).

So last night, ( Read more... )

I just finished Terry Pratchett's The Fifth Elephant, and I'm feeling very moved.

Last night the Powers that Be ran Veronica Mars and House on against one another, something I was really hoping wouldn't happen.  I ended up taping both (I watched Veronica Mars but I was worried about getting interupted by late trick or treaters.... I needn't have worried).  Both were first rate, and confirmed the things I enjoy about them.

I know that periodically (too often) I post about how much I love Tuesday night TV...well this is one of those posts, but comment anyway....

4 pm - I had to meditate early so I could really enjoy this afternoon’s episode of Oprah’s drive across country with Gayle; it turns out that they had a huge prolonged argument about the meaning of Paul Simon’s ( Read more... )

Oh I forgot, on my Veronica Mars post (below) I had a couple of questions...which I need to ask:
1.  What 18 year old would just get on the plane and fly to NYC on their own when they were supposed to meet their Dad?
It is true that VM wouldn't be afraid to do it...but it seems very odd to me.  I mean Keith just not showing up sounds like he could be ( Read more... )

I first saw the Veronica Mars pilot episode on MTV (or was it VH1?) because they ran it and we didn't get UPN in Southeastern Iowa, and I was blown away.  In that first hour we met a girl who had been happy and popular and then who had lost everything.  We learned that she had lost her best friend, her boyfriend, her Mother, her home, and finally ( Read more... )

Veronica Mars season 2
just came out on DVD last Tuesday, and I just watched the sixth disk tonight (borrowed from netflix) and I have to say once again (because I know I've said it before) what a brilliant show Veronica Mars is and what a brilliant young (okay, turns out he is the same age as Joss Whedon, but he looks way younger...) writer/ ( Read more... )

okay, I have to cut for my reviews of Tuesday night television...

Gilmore Girls: Lorelai is a big slut who followed up her ultimatum to Luke by cheating on him w/Christopher!  ACK!
Well they have their work laid out for them in the last season:
will Rory ever even think about Logan or will she start dating someone who is NOT 5000 miles away?
Will ( Read more... )
