VERONICA, NOOOOOO!

Son of a whore! What the hell happened?? Moonrat said she'd mourn Veronica with me, which confused me, so I went straight to my V-Mars inspiration and she confirmed it for me.

Now herein lies the problem with getting into a show late in the game. You can't stay on top of new developments unless you want to spoil crucial plot elements from the current season, so you're obviously not going to watch TV or read all the blogs until you've voraciously Netflixed the previous seasons and you're caught up. However, if the show is teetering on the brink of destruction, by not watching the current season, you're not adding to the show's viewership.

Veronica: I heard your plea for help and I stood idly by. I'm sorry I failed you.

I HEART Veronica Mars

Before I gush, I must give credit where credit is due. Nikki has recommended so many shows that I've subsequently Netflixed voraciously and then fallen in love with: Wonderfalls, Dead Like Me, The Wire, The 4400. Thank you, my TV twin, for your amazing taste in TV. I am your TV Padawan, your apprentice, and I have much to learn from your pop culture tube taste.

This lead came from a House o' Blogger blog, and I still can't believe I never watched it before. I freaking LOVE Veronica Mars. I've only made it through the first two discs of the first season, but it's love at first sight. Here's a little sample of Veronica's tough girl, smart mouth awesomeness:

Veronica: (defending a friend) Leave him alone.
Weevil: Sister, the only time I care about what a woman has to say is when she's riding my big old hog. And it's not so much a bunch of words, just "oohs" and "ahhs," y'know?
Veronica: So, it's big, huh?
Weevil: Legendary.
Veronica: Well, let's see it. I mean, if it's as big as you say, I'll be your girlfriend. Aww, we could go to prom together.

Love it. Watch it! But, is it over or not? I haven't kept up with the gossip and I don't want to dig around for news too deeply because I'm afraid of spoilers.
