summer shows get different ratings scales

[orangerful]

According to my inbox, I'm 72 entries behind on LJ/DW...oops.

BUT ANYWAY!

While I LOVED the first season, I wasn't actually thrilled with the second and third season of Veronica Mars. The second season has too much "retconning" of what "really" happened in season 1 and Season 3 was better but just didn't have the same level of intrigue

I'm in the same vein as you re: Veronica Mars. The first season was fantastic and probably the best season overall. The second season was a cluttered clusterfuck that was such a huge mess, and the third season, while slightly better than S2, still was rather meh overall. And while the kickstarter was a success, the reunion movie didn't really interest me since it felt like their goal was to bring everyone they possibly could back but really had no plot.

As a whole, I'm not going to be watching this new series. I'm just not interested anymore. There was something uniquely special about S1 that nothing else after that ever recaptured that magic, which is a shame.

I hate Logan/Veronica. I'll admit to liking the initial setup in S1 since it was more gradual, but after that it felt so shoehorned to appease the intense rapid shippers, who were equally as annoying with how they treated anyone who liked any other pairing, including the actors who had different opinions (those were dark days in the VM fandom, let me tell you, and it probably hasn't changed despite the fandom being marginally quiet over the years....)

It fits the pattern that I have seen with most TV - any show with a 100% awesome first season is doomed to fail because they had one good idea, full formed characters and no where to go after that. Season 2 proved this was true of Veronica Mars and it was too bad because they had such an amazing cast.

But I love Kristen Bell too much and I want to see her face. I'll cringe through the LoVe stuff (GAG I HATE THAT SHORTENING) to see my girl. And Ryan Hansen.
