I saw a lot of early reviews similarly warning that there was something that fans wouldn’t be happy about, and Kristen also mentioned the same thing, but at the time I thought there was no way that Rob would kill off Logan when he is such a fan favourite. I was almost sure that it was going to be Keith, especially with all the talk of his health issues and considering early retirement, so I was predicting that he would be killed off right at the end leaving Veronica as the sole person in charge of Mars Investigations going forward
And yeah I’ve never been that passionate about the relationships in Veronica Mars for some reason, similar to iZombie actually, I just don’t think it’s Rob Thomas’s strong point. So it was interesting to me how LoVe almost took over the fandom and everyone was sooo invested in it, when I always cared more about Veronica’s friendships and her relationship with Keith. I was reading someone yesterday complaining that nearly all of the fandom has given up on the show now, and it’s mostly just a few men on twitter who want a fifth season apparently XD
It will be a shame to leave it on this note, so I do hope that Hulu give a fifth season a chance and see if they can pull the new format off, but a lot of people seem convinced that Hulu won’t be interested. So many people have said that they choose not to watch any of the season after hearing the spoilers, and that presumedly affected the ratings a lot as we’re a small fandom anyway, but of course it’s always hard to know with streaming services when they don’t release the numbers.
In the run-up to the season, I considered that it might be Keith who would die, especially knowing that his health was going to be an issue for him, but the idea of very angry fans just kept bringing me back to Logan.

Agreed. I care a lot more about Liv, Ravi, and Clive's friendships than I do about Liv/Major. And honestly, I feel like Rob Thomas has been over Logan/Veronica since S2.
I think there will be a fifth season. Hulu has gotten a ton of publicity from this, and the critical reviews have been positive. Now, if the ratings (or whatever metric they use) tank for S5, there may not be anymore, but I bet they're willing to take a chance on one more season. The shippers are loud, but in the end they're just one part of the audience.
I’m hoping you’re right, presumedly Hulu were already prepared for a backlash when they agreed to the season that Rob had mapped out, so that must mean that they have confidence in Rob and Kristen’s plans? The only thing that gives me slight pause there is that it sounds like there was some miscommunication going on with how much swearing Rob was originally planning to include, he said that Hulu were caught off guard by the swearing/they wanted season 4 to still be accessible to seasons 1-3 viewers, so I wonder if that’s a bad sign on Hulu actually being on board for a grittier reboot?
