Thanks guys... I'm glad you appreciate it!!!
Here's the Hollywood Jesus Review...
Blog Critics review of season one...Of course, Veronica is not Buffy (who could be?), but there are some similarities. Like Buffy, she is an outsider, very gifted, and tough (but tender). She is beginning to acquire her own little “Scooby Gang” to help her. But the real similarity is the battle between good and evil.
In Buffy, that battle took place in a supernatural realm. The good and evil were cosmic. For Veronica, the evil is not from some cosmic evil, it grows from within people (which is far more sinister.) Buffy was always saving the world (literally); Veronica saves people that no one else really cares about.
Sure, there's complex characters, an interesting, twisting story, but what makes it all work is that it plays back up to the real gig, private investigation. It's not all fun all the time. Veronica helps out her dad with his new business, a small P.I. shop. She gets to spy on people, snap their photos, and bug their offices.
All in all, it's one of the best TV shows I've seen in a while. It doesn't follow the normal script. Characters who die, stay dead. The story is good, the acting is superb, and Lily Kain's murder mystery is actually solved in the first season. No more bleeding a show to death trying to stop the inevitable event from happening. So, if you didn't catch Season One of Veronica Mars, you'd damn well better see the re-runs before Season Two begins.Last edited by yellowqueen22; 11-19-2005, 03:29 PM.Comment

The Metacritic review gave the 1st season DVD an 82 - universal acclaim... for those of you who don't know Metacritic, it is out of 100, they combine scores from a whole bunch of reviewers, including their own, and anything above a 60 is pretty much excellent.
Awwww... you guys are so sweet. I'm just glad that all of you keep coming back... otherwise I'd be posting all of this for myself. LOL. Thanks again for all the kind words & thoughful praise!!!Originally posted by LaineSV11

No problem... the 82 score is good, if 60 is considered to be really good!Comment

A great place for TV recaps is www.tvgasm.com. The writers weave their own personal reviews within the recap and it makes it really unique. You can even leave comments!
On another note: They also have Smallville recaps and America's Next Top Model ones.Comment

Veronica Mars (8-9 p.m., KTXA/Channel 21) Last week, politically oriented comic strip Mallard Fillmore called this modern Nancy Drew story the best-written show on television. It's at least one of the best-written, and witty, touching, suspenseful and multileveled. But don't take my word for it -- take a Libertarian cartoon duck's. UPN.Yes, Veronica Mars has indeed been widely compared with Buffy: the Vampire Slayer, but despite sharing similarities – the strength of the lead, the witty dialogue, the episodic nature fitted into a larger story arc - Veronica Mars is definitely strong enough to stand out on its own. For a start, there's no reliance on the supernatural, and there's enough differentiation for the series not to be simply dismissed as a 'clone' of any other. Joss Whedon himself has roundly come out stating Veronica Mars is one of his favourite TV shows, and it's probably true that Veronica Mars may not have been written in the same way (or, if so, greenlit) if it hadn't been for the Buffy's success. But either way, there's enough room in the market for two sassy blonde female protagonists – don't let the comparisons drag you down; each show is special in its own way and Veronica Mars pulls you in right from the beginning with its dark tone and secrets.Comment

I wrote in to tell them about the many, many mistakes in that article. I was REALLY nice about it, gentle even, and they sent back an *extremely* snotty response. They claimed that Scott Ellis screwed everything up on purpose so as "not to ruin things for people who hadn't seen the rest of the series." Um, he mostly screwed up the details of the pilot. BUT OKAY!
