| Veronica Mars: Prickly or Bitchy? |
| 11.01.06 (10:22 am) [edit] |
The buzz I have been hearing for the third season seems to be how less likeable Veronica is this year. The major complaint is that she is coming off as harsh without major justification and that she's being unnecessarily snotty and smarmy. At the same time that I am hearing these complaints, I am also hearing people calling veronica a poseur or a wanna-be 09er. Never thought I would see the day that this would be said about Veronica Mars.
My personal feeling is that Veronica is in transition. I find her more prickly than bitchy and given her history, I don't expect her to be cuddly and sweet. There have been times when I disagreed with the things that Veronica did (googling the solution to the class exercise in the first episode of this season, indiscriminate tazering of people she doesn't like, repeatedly accusing Weevil and Logan of evil-doing like she's Clark Kent on "Smallville") but I personally find that her imperfections make her real, and for me that makes her likeable.
May be it is in the acting and direction. Kristen seems to do her best work when she's with Keith, Wallace, Mac and Logan. With the rest of the cast, her facial expressions seem off and her delivery abrupt. Otherwise, I think Kristen Bell rocks.
My main fear is that this increase in dislike for Veronica will translate into lower ratings and the show will be cancelled before our heroine has a chance to complete her transistion and become generally more sympathetic.
Just my twenty-five cents.
