Grr. Annoying Veronica Mars news. But potentially wonderful Firefly news

[yendi]

From Kristen at E: I do believe they may be doing what I said--holding off on new episodes until the show has a better lead-in, so people will see them and the show can survive! Trust me, the network is behind the show and wants to do right by it. At least, that's definitely the sense I've gotten. I just heard back from UPN. And yes, the new episodes of Veronica Mars that were supposed to air Feb. 15, Feb. 22 and Mar. 1 have been pushed back. It hasn't been announced yet when they will air. Sorry! I know. It sucks to wait, but I honestly think it's a good thing for the show.

ETA: But great Firefly news: I've heard the CW is considering bringing it back as a series, miniseries or movie for next season. Hurrah! For you who missed my message board posting, on Tuesday, Nate Fillion, Summer Glau and Gina Torres were seen coming out of one of the exec buildings at Paramount, where they are putting together the new CW unit.

I love Veronica Mars, but since I'm in class on Wednesday nights and can only tape one show I tape Lost. I wish they'd move VM to 8pm on Wednesday. ANTM has a strong enough following that it could move to 9 and survive against Lost.

Vas ist das "CW"?

CW is the still-glistening mutant offspring created when UPN and WB ate eachother.

Ew.

And, yes, I did originally prepare a fake Germanglish reply, but it was too much like bad German and not enough like parody German. I fail at the Internet.

Of course, you also failed to answer the implied question...

Part of me is thrilled at the idea of having Firefly come back, but another part of me is lukewarm because of the loss of Wash... that's a major loss in the winning dynamic, IMO.

As for Veronica Mars, I hope Kristen is right that it's a "good thing for the show".... it better be....

I don't see firefly coming back, because it would be Buffy S4-on, with the series missing Whedon, who is off doing other things.
