Veronica Mars Renewed
Yay! In a sign of the impending apocalypse, UPN has renewed Veronica Mars! The show is an odd duck, hard to classify; it is both witty and noire, at times heartfelt, and at others, gothic. In short, it is the kind of show critics like and people don't watch (ratings-wise it draws fewer viewers than Enterprise, although it also probably costs a third as much to produce). It is nice to see UPN invest in good, albeit cheap, shows with bad ratings.
The show has hinged on several related year-long arcs — it will be interesting to see what happens when they have to come up with new conflicts. A large part of the characterization so far has been accomplished through revelation, rather than through growth. That's clearly not sustainable; I can't wait to see what happens next.
