My loyalty to Veronica Mars has been sorely tested this year by its atrocious depiction of feminists as unreasonable, vengeful, and, of course, ugly. Still, VM is (ironically) one of the strongest, coolest, smartest female characters on TV. The show is on the chopping block, as, apparently, people would rather watch the contest to become the next Pussycat Doll. But here is some news:
A) From Watch With Kristen:
1. Creator Rob Thomas is shooting a five- to six-minute featurette of a new version of Veronica Mars, which is one of three options the CW is considering for next season (cancellation, renewal or new format).
2. This new Veronica version takes place four years in the future, and features Veronica as a full-fledged FBI agent. (This morning's Hollywood Reporter incorrectly reports that in the new featurette, Veronica is still in the FBI Academy.)
3. Kristen Bell is the only castmember who is part of this "FBI years" trailer/featurette. It is not yet known which other castmembers would come on board if the CW chooses this option. Veronica's current cast and crew were informed of the featurette yesterday (hence, the widespread panic and cancellation rumors running rampant—and my panic attack).
To help save the show, send a postcard to:
Dawn Ostroff
President of Entertainment,
The CW Television Network
4000 Warner Blvd., Bldg 168
Burbank, CA 91522-0002
B) From a fellow Veronica Mars fan.
If you need a Kristen Bell fix, she will be on 2 episodes of Designer to the Stars on the WE network tonight (the 24th). The designer helps Bell "transform her backyard into a doggie paradise that's also a people hangout."
