Veronica Mars is truly outstanding, well worth saving. I voted on a "save Veronica Mars" online petition a week or so ago, but don't recall where it was. The push to save Mars, i.e., give it a second season, was at that time very strong, and probably still is. Critics love it. Remember, Alyson Hannigan is on the show, and may well have a big part in season two.

So, please do everything y'all can to save "Mars."
TheCrazyKind, a week or so ago I posted that Hannigan was going to be on Veronica Mars, on this forum. The thread, "Hannigan goes to Mars," was seen by only about 5-600 people, and has now drifted into obscurity.

Thank you for your insight and for bringing this great show once again to this worthy forum.

Zoic, great idea on the early DVD. Can that actually happen?

VM is a truly great show and even if this post only convinces one person to go check out the show, that's one more fan to support it. I cross posted this on a couple of Farscape forums and a Lost one as well so hopefully it will get some people's attention.

And it's wonderful to hear that there's a good amount of fan support behind the show. I just hope people keep sending in letters and telling people about the show. Oh, also, you can find the petition and a poll through saveveronicamars.com.

Yeah but I have to say the Farscape miniseries came too late and suffered not only from the cast looking as if they were in clothes too small (metaphorical sense here) but the storytelling suffered Sci-Fi's new 'Let's cram good mini-series into two nights' syndrome. They would've been better off with three nights if they were going to focus on the baby so much.

Those guys REALLY need to get back into three nights. Children of Dune was fantastic IMO for someone who hadn't read the books. Look at Earthsea. So much potential :(

I agree that the mini had some major faults but I'm one of those people that believes it was far better then getting nothing at all. The mini did resolve the major storyline. Should it have been longer? Most defiantly but I would take those crammed four hours over 'to be continued' any day. And honestly, when it comes to Scifi, what can you expect? They're not exactly known for quality television anymore.

It's a shame because it really use to be a great network.

Thanks for reminding me about the $2 bill thing.
I just printed mine out. I meant to do it when I first read the TV Guide item, but didn't know where to get one (the mag didn't say). I signed the online petition, too. The only painful part was checking the 35-49 Age Demographic option. Youch! Oh, well it was for a good cause. VM is one of my favorites this year.
Nice to meet you, Crazy!

People have to tell me about these shows at the beginning. I heard about this show way too late. I searched around a bit for a place to download the episodes and get caught up but I didn't find anything. So I gave up. Looks like I won't be let down if it gets cancelled though. That's some consolation.

Aw, Zeek, it's never too late! We can help you get caught up on story lines or answer any questions you have. You can check out Veronica's Desktop at the UPN site. If the show gets another season, there will probably be summer reruns as well. You don't have to give up the ship yet!

Eh I'm a purist when it comes to stories. If I can't get it all first hand then I don't go for it at all.

Don't worry though. I found a source for the episodes last night. We'll see if I can't get caught up before the season ends.

You know "Veronica Mars" is the best thing on TV, right? Do your friends know? Does your family? Are you struggling to find a way to describe the show that doesn’t sound a) cheesy, b) too teenagery or c) just like Buffy or Nancy Drew? Have you managed to persuade them to watch only to have them go “Huh?” because they’ve missed the last [insert number] episodes and the show's intricately woven mysteries and multi-layered characters are too perplexing?

Well we were in the same boat and did something about it. Welcome to Mars Investigations.net http://www.marsinvestigations.net, a beginner’s guide to "Veronica Mars". We have as much or as little as the newbie needs to catch up. Want a detailed episode description? You got it. Need to get a character sketch? It’s there. Want to know who killed Lilly Kane? So do we all, but how about a summary of the investigation to date or a list of all the clues, episode by episode? Come and spend five minutes or five hours and you’ll be as sharp as Veronica with what’s going on.

Between us, we will show the clueless what they’re missing. They will thank us. There will be chocolate.

Veronica Mars is a TERRIFIC show. Like WYK, I maintain a large website and very active messageboard that covers it and ABC's LOST (and also the known Whedonverse *wink*).

If you are interested in weekly reviews by excellent reviewers and intelligent discussion of each episode, updated regularly, I would like to invite you to visit S3: The Soulful Spike Society at:

www.soulfulspike.com

I think you will like our friendly, fun intelligent atmostphere. And of course, FFF.net rocks! Not trying to take anything away from them!
