Veronica Mars Fodder

'Veronica Mars' Meets Her Match: Network TV

That's all folks. Our begging and pleading has been thoroughly ignored by the network execs and they've decided to send Veronica & Friends to the guillotine. Oh, the horror, the shame, the injustice. The CW unveiled their fall lineup (which, of course, includes some kick-ass emmy-worthy reality shows...) which was completely void of VMars.

According to Kristen Veitch there is the possibility Rob Thomas and Kristen Bell may be working on another project together (whether or not it is the FBI spin-off is unclear), but VMars as we know it is dead and gone. E! also reports that K.Bell has a spot on the new hyped up CW show, Gossip Girls.

Looking on the very very hard to see bright side, part of me feels like the cancellation a testament to the show's quality. Virtually every amazing tv series of the past few years has been tragically killed by networks after a short run because of so-so ratings, despite critical acclaim and a devoted fanbase. [See: Firefly, Freaks & Geeks, Wonderfalls, Arrested Development.]

And there's always the Seasons 1-3 dvd boxsets to watch over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. Note to Rob: I know this is not your fault. You've done your best and we all appreciate what you've done, but Season 3 better have some amazing extra features or there may be a torch-bearing mob descending upon your house.

Maybe now Kristen will do a movie that doesn't suck...[uncalled for, I know, but did anyone see Pulse?!]

So, savor every last second of the last two episodes. Every quip, every venetian blind shadow cast in the background, every Keith/Veronica moment, every Logan Echolls brooding puppy dog look, every everything. Because this is it kids.
