8 Months On...


I tend, when reading over past posts of mine, to be accosted by the annoying tone of my writing. It seems to try to hard, and furthermore this is not often met with a satisfactory outcome. In respect of this, I will attempt to convey less enthusiasm in my writing and hope for success. 

At the moment, I am again obsessed with Veronica Mars- having just completed watched the third, and sadly final, season of this legendary TV series. In my opinion there has never been a character on TV that can even begin to compare with Veronica, with regards to wit, talent and appeal.  

I find it a real disappointment that such a truly great show had to fight so hard for viewers and was ultimately cancelled long before its time. It says a lot for the general public, especially young people, who obviously only enjoy TV when the plot is straightforward and devoid of subtle, clever nuances. Perhaps where Rob Thomas went wrong, is that he developed a series about young people not appropriate for the typical unwilling-to-think young person. The true greatness of Veronica Mars lies not in flashy story lines but rather in the subtle wit delivered through deeply developed, unusually real characters. 

If I ever post again, I'll be sure to include more about V Mars. Especially the character for that is wherein my real obsession lies.
