Sooooo random. Just came across your blog and see you haven't posted in a few years. Kinda dying to know your thoughts on "Season 4".
That is so flattering, @ayy-ohh thank you!!!
I haven’t watched season 4 yet. To be perfectly honest, I’m not sure if I ever will. I’ve heard a little tiny bit about what happens and it’s enough to make me feel like I would be a lot happier never seeing it.
Veronica Mars is a great show that has a lot more to offer than just Veronica/Logan but Veronica/Logan is what matters the most to me so I think I would just be better off without seeing season 4.
When I rewatched the series for the first time after it had been on originally, I watched the bonus features and there was this pitch video that Rob Thomas did for season 4, with Veronica going off to the FBI Academy and it had a whole new cast of characters and a new love triangle and everything. It made me feel like, “Wow, this guy would literally do anything to keep this show going. He doesn’t even care about the characters who aren’t Veronica.”
And then I read the novels that take place after the movie, and Logan and Veronica were having issues (there were cute moments too, though) and something seemed to be developing with Leo again. And I thought to myself, “He’s so obsessed with his bittersweet noir endings, he’ll never let Logan and Veronica be happy.”
And then Veronica Mars got a season 4 on Netflix and I was worried, and then I heard a little about it and all of my worst suspicions were confirmed.
So I’m happy with the movie and I think I’ll just leave the story there.
I’m one of those people who takes sequel and renewal news and especially spin-off news, for anything, with mixed feelings. I just have too much experience watching the integrity of a story and character relationships get ruined just for the sake of keeping a story going.
I like the Veronica Mars movie a lot, but even the movie compromises a few things I liked about how the season 3 finale left off.
But I don’t mean to have a negative attitude about it. For those who liked it, great. I’m happy too...by ignoring it.
