Memories both misty and watercolored

The 30 Day meme continues!

Day 04 - Your favorite show ever: veronica mars - despite our turbulent relationship, and my hating everthing that it became. The fact that I STILL get depressed just thinking about what it could have been HAS to say something, because even with all of my bitterness and annoyance over what RT turned Veronica and the ( Read more... )

I'm so looking forward to Wednesday and Thursday.

*giggles*

I'm on the fence re: tomorrow's, so I'm having an ep-off tonight. I think thursday will prove much more difficult, b/c even the eps I hated had something I liked in them.

I've had a strange urge to watch Veronica Mars again. I haven't really watched it since it ended which is odd considering how consumed I was by it at the time.

I still haven't seen the last eps of S3 and I'm not really in any rush to.

I did a re-watch of S1 about a year ago when I introduced my roommate to it, and I've caught the odd ep on On Demand when there's been nothing else on. That first season was classic and I still love going back and watching those original episodes. They were just SO GREAT

Oh VM how you broke my little heart, shattered really but S1 was so freaking GOOD!

AHH!

S1 was GOLD. And then RT set out to destroy it and it's fanbase. Obviously I still hold some very deep-seated resentment lol - BUT THAT'S JUST BECAUSE IT WAS SO FREAKING FABULOUS AT THE BEGINNING & THEN WHAT HAPPENED TO IT?? JUST D<

ITA to everything you said!!!

I loved that show. S1 really was The Season of Awesome.

Currently re-watching S2 and I want to slap some heads. I don't know if I can even bear to get through The Season That Should Not Have Been again.

The first ep of S2, then later ones (when they seemed to remember that they had a season-long story arc they were supposed to be telling) along with a few in the middle were pretty good, but NOTHING compared to the first season - and some of the shit they pulled in S2 just tainted the show forever. And S3 just prolonged the slow agonizing death of a once great show :((((

The first ep of S2,
Except for that WTF moment I had when I realised she was back with Donut. Ugh. There were really great individual eps and moments in S2, agreed.

Loved this moment:LOGAN: Well, there was this one girl. She was uh, blonde, petite. He closes his eyes and takes a deep sniff.
LOGAN: Smelled of marshmallows and promises.
VERONICA: Promises?
LOGAN: Yep.
VERONICA: That’s the name of my perfume!

And then the final ep, with the spin-kiss (eeee!), held so much more promise for S3, which they then proceeded to rip out from under our feet, cover it in caustic substances, then used to flagellate us!

*sigh*

It still hurts. THat show really captured my heart, and we all stuck with it so desperately at the end, just because we were hopeful it could get better. Would, should, could!
