When a show has drifted as thoroughly into the doldrums as Veronica Mars has, cancellation is probably the best thing for a fandom which had felt vaguely betrayed ever since the first season - and, yes, I can see the case for the last episode of that season being the start of the betrayal. After all, in a few weeks, the show will be a closed canon, and that means that fanfic can run riot with it, and cross Veronica over into every fandom imaginable...She was always a very classy Mary Sue and now she has the universes at her feet to wisecrack at.

I'm very intrigued by the above. Mind going into detail a bit? (I read TEEN DREAMS, but it seemed to have been written when VM was first starting, I think.)

Me? I thought the show was *horribly* uneven in its first season (swinging wildly between episodes that were amazing and some that were bad tv), consistently satisfying if overly complicated during the second, and still highly enjoyable (though definitely a bit "off") during the third. I'm frustrated and sad and I'm going to miss it.

And yet so much worse drek lives on. *gnash*

Clarification: I felt the first half of the first season was horribly uneven. Halfway through they figured out what worked and what didn't, and from then on till the end was golden, I thought.

I feel that they had to end S1 the way they did to give them the Aaron portion of the plot for S2, which was about the best part of S2. S3 has gone from draggy to sucky, I'll watch through to the end to make sure my story doesn't contradict canon too badly if I ever write a sequel to Subcontractor, but won't miss it.

As a fan of VM I can safely say that your post has been the loveliest reaction (to cancelling) that I've seen. Most people are cheering that it is gone (former fans, even). I will miss it dearly. I don't mind taking the good with the not-so-good when it comes to this show. My annoyance comes with the way in which the CW handled the entire situation. They obviously have no respect for the cast and crew.

I was hoping they could revive the show, because I do so dearly love the characters. But, I'd rather see it go than continue the drift.

Just wanted to say a quick "thank you" for pointing out that Veronica can now go where she wants in the hands of those who love the character.

I have already seen a crossover fan fiction story in which the Buffybot meets a Veronicabot.
