Veronica Mars *squee*

Kristen at E, talking about season 3 of Veronica Mars:

Speaking of, Rob says he already knows which actors will--or, gulp, won't--be back next year. "The cast members who are series regulars this year but aren't next year knew from day one," he says. "So, that hasn't changed. The only thing that may change is that we really want to make Tina Majorino [Mac] a series regular. We just adore her, and we're already planning episodes with her. We're going to try to make that happen, and if we don't, it's just because we don't have the money, because we love her."

Who doesn't?

The article also assures us that Season 3 is close to a done deal, and that we'll see lots of returning favorites on the season finale.

I watched Veronica Mars for the first time ever on Tuesday. I didn't realize Kristen Bell was in it! Now I may well be hooked. I think that show may be the electronic equivalent of crack cocaine.

Wow, that article makes me happy.

Indications that next year will feature the return of the AD kids, and what looks like a solid plan for expanding the audience on the new network.

Argh! I have a Mars jones right now! Why must I wait until Sunday for the replay of Tuesday's episode!

wait, are you implying that arrested development is coming back?! or just that alia and michael (yeah, we're BFFs) will be reprising their vm roles?

Did you read the article?

In episode 16, the first mystery will introduce the rapist, who shaves women's heads, which Thomas says "allows us to keep some characters we've grown to love on the show."

That seems to implicate at least Alia in their designs.

i read the article, but i rarely watch veronica mars. while i tuned in for that episode, the novelty of seeing maeby and george michael was outweighed by my inability to follow what was going on. hence the brief bit of hope i had after reading your comment.

because of your damn influence I've started watching the show, it's compelling but all the obvious commercial tie-ins and placements get really dreary and the "people old enough to be grad students playing high school kids" thing is pretty depressing

which one is mac again? the kinda pudgy brunette geek?

Yes. Played by the same very likable actress who's the Molly Mormon character on Big Love.

Yay for more VM. And maybe I'll even get to watch it in nearly-real-time next season. *fingers crossed*
