Veronica-Mars-related stories

We
Veronica Mars fans take whatever bones the TV world will throw at us. We mourn the loss of the well-written female super-sleuth series, and we've been kicked while we are down with the cancellation of
Moonlight, where we at least got to see Jason Dohring every week. Could there be a little love coming for the
VM fans?
If you watch
Heroes, you could be in for a real treat this fall, when
Francis Capra, of Weevil fame, joins the cast alongside former
Veronica Mars star Kristen Bell.
We don't know much about Capra's role except that his name is Jesse and he will be evil. Weevil playing evil -- a rhyme I just had to make and a role I'm looking forward to seeing. Even though I don't watch
Heroes, I'll tune in to see what Capra's got for us.
So,
VM fans, enjoy the reunion of Veronica and Weevil this fall, and try not to let that bothersome
Heroes story line get in the way of the
VM nostalgia.

Yes, I still mourn
Veronica Mars. We all know season three wasn't up to par, but that is all the more reason to mourn what once was.
Jane's recent post,
listing six reasons why we need a Las Vegas movie, inspired me to think about, and now write about, why we really need a
Veronica Mars movie.
In some ways, the finale was a shout out to the
Veronica Mars of old -- Logan was a downright jerk again, left only to his aggression and baser instincts; Veronica was stable and a goody-goody girlfriend (remember the Duncan days?) and Weevil got some balls and was up to his old tricks again. We liked all of that.

This is going to be fun.
When I first saw Paul's post about the
Ten toughest Bald guys on TV, I immediately brainstormed who I thought they'd be before I read the post. Boy, was I surprised, not only at some of Paul's choices, but more importantly, his omissions. I was inspired enough to write my own list.
For some of my list, I agree with Paul.
1.
Hawk (Spenser for Hire)I was so glad to see Hawk on Paul's list, as he was one of the first ones to come to mind. However, I would not agree that he is a stereotype. He was deep and sensitive, loyal and protective, none of which fit the stereotype of bad ass for me. Although am I biased because I read the books, which perhaps have Hawk as a far more developed character than the series did?
2.
Jean-Luc Picard (Star Trek :TNG) Total agreement here. Again, not a stereotype. His great leadership skills helped to make him the tough guy that he is.
