Mar. 16th, 2013 08:45 amWe’ve now reached the last four of the fandom March madness thing. Getting the obligatory all women comment out of the way, we have Britta vs. Hermione and Martha Jones vs. Joan Sherlock. Full names for characters in fandoms I don’t really know! ( Read more... )
The obvious question following the Veronica Mars movie getting Kickstarted news has been will this be a trend and what project would you like to see green-lit? I’ve seen some suggestions that seem way less likely than VM, where the show’s creator and star were on board and had been actively working on scripts. It’s also the kind of project that could realistically be made on a low budget (depending on the scale of the mystery.) Of course, if this is a success – and it’s a step up from Arrested Development getting made by Netflix on the basis that if they make it, the fans will come in terms of fannish involvement in funding – maybe other projects will happen. I'm sure 'the industry' will be watching.
My answers: Because it’s so recent, I’ll mention The Hour, which was cancelled after a cliffhanger. I saw a suggestion that they should have allowed it to wrap up with a feature-length episode that I liked, where said cliffhanger and other characters’ stories ( spoiler for series 2 ) could have been resolved.
In the realms of total fantasy: Jake 2.0. But I don’t think it ran long enough or had enough of a fanbase.
Another thing about the Veronica Mars movie stuff that’s giving me pause is that I’m reminded that the show first aired in 2004!
Last night, I had a Nashville double-bill
