Mona van Duyn writes, "For what is story if not relief from the pain, of the inconclusive, from the dread of the meaningless?" Yes. Exactly. And that is precisely why the season (and now, series) finale of Veronica Mars is unacceptable. Too many loose ends, too inconclusive. What happened to epic? (Okay, so even though they're not together, Logan will still beat up any guy who might be responsible for streaming videos of VMars en flagrante delicato...but I need something more substantial than that!) I want resolution, damn it! And now I'm not going to get it. To be fair, they taped the final two episodes prior to the announcement of...er, non-renewal. So...I guess you want to keep a bit of dramatic tension to get viewers to tune in for the next season. But seeing as there won't be a next season, I think we need a 2 (or 10) hour special to wrap these things up. More specifically, we need plenty of time for Veronica and Logan to get back together and buy a cabana and live happily ever after (in between fights and sarcasm). I'm just sayin'. There is a lot of chatter about writing virtual seasons or endings, and that's cool. If people get those done, some will probably be better than any "real" alternative.
Just because about 10 people ask each day, I'll update you on the grants. So far, no news. Well, except for the Hamburger Helper Hometown Helper grant, which we didn't get. They did, however, send me a consolation prize-- a single serving of Hamburger Helper. Somehow, I wasn't all that consoled (especially since I don't eat hamburger).
