Here’s a good interview<\/a> with Veronica Mars<\/em> creator Rob Thomas. Teases for the next two mysteries included!<\/p>\n

Also included is discussion of VM<\/em>‘s demographic, which I find fascinating. Back at Comic-Con, one of my fellow con-goers expressed surprise at the inclusion of a VM<\/em> panel, and I was trying to explain why the show seems to attract the culty, genre-loving audience, even though it’s not technically a genre show. One demographic-y thing I have noticed in particular is there seems to be a lot of crossover between VM<\/em> fans and Battlestar Galactica<\/em> fans. At first, I assumed this was wishful thinking on my part, as those are my two favorite series currently gracing the small screen. But then I started noticing the crossover in people who aren’t, well…me. And I introduced my BSG<\/em>-lovin’ friend to VM<\/em> and she was instantly hooked and concurred with my entirely unscientific assessment.<\/p>\n

I think it has something to do with both shows being extremely dense, especially when compared to your average TV drama-rama. They also both have a tendency towards the dark and gritty and more than a few characters sketched in shades of gray. And there’s something about loving either of the shows that’s just…I don’t know, all-consuming? Like you can’t really be a casual fan. You have to be at least a little foamy at the mouth.<\/p>\n

Appropriately enough, Veronica’s new favorite slang word this season is “frak.” You go, Rob Thomas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
