Kristen was so believable in that type of role though, that I couldn't accept her as a dumb little weakling either. No random role would do. Just like it was kind of pathetic to watch I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER or SCREAM 2 and seeing SMG act all helpless and dumb. Not to say that's what she'd play on HEROES, I don't know. I was too upset at the time to read that part. Like I said, I have nothing against that show, but I would have to have seen it from the beginning to know for sure if I would even like it or not, which I have yet to do.
I doubt the role on LOST would've been exactly like Veronica, anyway, but there were definite similarities. As interesting as those qualities are, how do we know it wasn't a ploy just to get her interested, since it's fairly well-known how much she loved playing Veronica?
Also, just want to say to HEROES fans who never watched VERONICA or don't know much about Kristen Bell, I'm glad you finally get to see what the rest of us (and critics) have been raving about. Happy for you, still sad for me.

The Auseillo Report:
Kristen Bell's my Hero!
It's enough to send fanboys over the edge: Kristen Bell, who earned her cult-TV superstar stripes during her three years as Veronica Mars, is joining HEROES for at least 13 episodes beiginning October 22. In this quickie Q & A, Bell dances around the subject of her myserious character, explains why she turned down an offer from LOST, and takes a stand on the subject of a Mars movie.
It's no secret that you've been fielding offers, including from LOST, right?
Being able to stay in {Los Angeles and not relocate to Hawaii] was a little bitof a factor for me [in turning LOST down]. But I was honored to even be considered. I love that show.
Was part of the appeal of doing HEROES the fact that it's a limited gig, thus allowing you to keep your career options open?
That was extremely appealing. Also, everyone I know who is involved in HEROES has had nothing but excellent things to say about what it's like to work there.
There's buzz that your HEROES character, Elle, may be evil. True?
That's a possibility. I hope so. It would be really nice to play the bad guy.
Does she have a power?
Yeah, I have a really awesome power.
Mars creator Rob Thomas has expressed interest in doing a movie version of the show. Would you be up for that?
Oh, absolutely. I'd do anything Rob asked me. I knew some things that were going to happen in Season 4 that I'm not going to dare say, 'cause that's probably what the movie is going to be about.
C'mon, give me a hint.
I wish I could tell you, because it's REALLY good.
