therealmarajade Dec. 23rd, 2005 09:48 pm)So, I just finished watching VM's season 1, and WHOA! :D
Now I'm DEFINITELY hooked up! LOVED the ending, it was unexpected, but at the same time it WASN'T! There were small things that led to it - and that leads to the second part of my post, but more on that in a moment, now I need to talk about VM, shipping and my favorite characters in the show so far! ;)
Shipping: I'm definitely a Logan/Veronica shipper, but I don't mind Duncan/Veronica. I mean, they were boyfriend and girlfriend once. She moved on - or thought she did - and started dating Logan, and according to what I hear about season 2 she got back with Duncan, for whatever reason, but besides the fact that *that* gets in the way of L/V, I don't want to take my arm off and throw at them! Duncan *IS* a nice kid, nicer than Logan under some aspects, and they are NOT SIBLINGS! Which makes them quite different than Harry/Hermione, which I can't stand simply because they *ARE* like siblings for me - but I'm not![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nandaweasley, so I will refrain from compairing things to Harry Potter! ;) So, I LIKE Duncan/Veronica, and if I remember all the not-so-nice things Logan did, especially in the beginning of season 1, I could prefer D/V over L/V, but I just CAN'T because I keep remembering their first kiss in 1.18! And THE WAY LOGAN LOOKS AT HER! OMG! HE GLOWS! *SHE* GLOWS! IT'S SO F*CKING PERFECT! XD
Favorite characters: I love, love, LOVE KEITH! And Eli! And Logan - when he is with Veronica! ;) LOVE THEM! *hugs*
Now, on to the second part of this post! What I like in series, movies, books and the like!
I just realized, when watching VM's season 1 ending, that what I really like in stories isn't the characterization - not that I hate the characters, no, I love them, but what REALLY does it for me, what REALLY makes me hooked up and interested in the story are the little bits, the tiny details, the small - and not so small - hints that lead up to the end, or to a great revelation and the like in the story. We have those in Harry Potter, in Farscape, in VM, and in SW - yes, in SW. Not in the movies, but in the books. That's why I worship Timothy Zahn so much! He took loose ends from the movies - created new ones - and wrote the EU books! With loose ends, little bits and "tiny hints" from the movies! ;) XD
But to say I don't care about characterizaton at all would be wrong - I do care about it. When it's WAY off - like Dumbledore almost strangling Harry in GoF. Come to think of it, the fact that I don't care - or pay much attention - to characterization is probably why I liked GoF, instead of hating it. I didn't mind Voldemort. Not even Dumbledore - save that one scene of him strangling Harry - the only one that bugged me, and because she was WAY off, was Emma Watson.
On a deeper level, not quite related to this, perhaps my disregard for characterization reflects my inability to correctly interpret people's character and real motives. That's probably why I'm a fool that always gets carried away by people that don't deserve my trust and end up being used by them.
*sigh* Anyway, I need a L/V icon! From episode 1.18! ;)

The characterization in VM is some of the greatest I've seen, personally, because there are times when I'm annoyed with everyone. And there are times when I love everyone. Everyone is very flawed and very human. Oh, and did I mention hot? Oh, the hot....
I love Logan. And I for the most part love Veronica. I like them together, but I also think that what Logan really needs is someone who can love him but also put his ass in place. Which, Veronica did so before they started dating, but when they were together it was all "ohh, love and cuddle him!" when she really needed to be able to still tell him "stop the fucking whining, poor little rich kid". So therein lies the problem with Logan and Veronica. The snappy, love-hate chemistry vanished and it wasn't as good. Which is obviously why they were broken up at the beginning of season two so they can get back that snappy love-hate chemistry that is oh so good and delicious. ;)
