*hands out chill pills*
Feb. 22nd, 2007 11:22 pmafter suffering thru one too many "omg last night's episode was horrible becase [insert spoiler here]" posts on
veronica_mars, I ended up adding myself to this friending meme going around. So we have lots of new peeps reading the journal today *waves hello*
I dunno, I wasn't part of the fandom community when I was watching Buffy so when the big changes hit on that show, I didn't get to see the fan reactions as much. But some of the posts on the VM comm have been just ridiculous in there anger and attacking of the show (and other fans). I love the people who think this is a personal attack on them. I'm so sure that the writers sat around like Mr. Burns, attempting to get the small fanbase they have to turn on them. No no no. To paraphrase Master Whedon - don't give them what they want, give them what they need.
Let's not pass judgement on what happened last week until we see where this is all going. Perhaps the events from 'Mars,Bars' will lead to some exciting twists and turns in the Veronica-verse. If you want a show that never grows or changes, then just buy season 1 and keep it on repeat. I want a show with characters and stories that can go any way they want to.
Anyway, now that I have all these new buddies that are VM fans -
crazylike_afox,
impalalove,
ladynaberrie,
lostacanthus,
meronica_vars, and
shinetastic - I'm hoping we can have some intelligent and civil discussions about the future of one of the best shows on TV right now. :D
