Well let's just hope Piz is kind of like Marty on Gilmore Girls. Really nice, nervous, lower middle class guy who talks a lot and is all a flutter over Rory Gilmore. But in the end she wants her "bad boy" Logan and tells Marty as such, breaking his heart (if reluctantly). I could deal with that because it would only bring Logan/Veronica closer together. It would prove that her feelings could be tested and she is capable of choosing Logan for once.

I doubt that will happen, but that's my optimism since this article was comparing VM with GG and all.

It is rare that a new love interest is introduced if they don't end up winning the heart of the heroine at some point in the season though. I think GG is the only show I can think of (off the top of my head) that has had new "love interests" several times without the heroine turning from the guy she's with. In this case, I'm hoping proximity to Gilmore Girls rubs off on us.

Sigh.

It's more annoying that they are only selling Piz as a new character, unless Parker was mentioned elsewhere? I did get a chuckle out of the "charming if curiously named Piz" comment. Pfft. I think everyone is noticing that you can't take "Piz" seriously as a love interest if that's what Veronica's going to be calling him. 'Veronica and Piz sitting in a tree' doesn't exactly set my heart a-fluttering.

And yeah, it's starting to sound more and more like Veronica WILL consciously choose between the two guys. "Vie for her affections" implies it will happen while she's still with Logan. RT's already done the triangle-by-omission where Veronica doesn't acknowledge one side of the triangle until she's already lost the other. Surely he wouldn't do it again. I mean, I don't want Veronica to choose Piz over Logan but I also don't want a lame not-triangle.

It's kind of hard to hope we're going to get Veronica feeling sad that she's hurting Piz even though she doesn't regret staying with Logan - who she loves. We know Veronica never chooses Logan so every time I hear something about this stupid love interest I jump five steps ahead to where Logan is heartbroken and Veronica is dating a new guy two weeks later.

I'm really anxious for the new season and not in a good way.

I don't watch GG, so I can't comment on that, but from EVERY word we've ever heard out of RT's mouth and KB's preference, I think it's quite, quite, QUITE likely that we will definitely NOT see Veronica choosing Logan.

Nope, no mention of Parker at all.

I think it was aprilbegins who scanned it? Yea, it was a nice feature and all, but I thought the article was written particularly badly. Someone either took five minutes to complete it or let their 13 year old daughter write it. And they called the show "neo-Nancy Drew". Way to gt my feathers tussled, EW. The bad boy thing, is just another one of those generalism that the rest of the article makes. Though, really, it's that whole sentence makes me scratch my head. So Wallace, Mac, and Weevil are fan faves. And not Keith and Logan? And Wallac and Weevil aren't men in Veronica's life? It's just a bad choice of words all togethr.

Ah, she's not on my flist, that explains that. Yes, it's simplistic, but it also means that the guidelines they were given about the character was "bad-boy" Logan and "charming" Piz.

It wasn't on her journal, but veronica_mars earlier yesterday.

I'm with Shan, the quote is just try to simplify the whole stituation for the idiots who haven't ween watching before. Logan is so much more than a bad boy, and I'm hopeful that once people sit down to watch, they will get that.

There's always the hope that Piz will just annoy the shit out of everyone that we'll be better off with Logan than him, right?

I covered my fear above in my response to Shan about the simplistic nature of it. Simplistic or not, it still portrays Logan=bad, Piz=good.

To be honest, from all I've heard about the character, unless he is amazingly written and played by an incredible great actor with great charisma, I can't see how he won't be annoying to VIEWERS?

In which case, we'll just bitch and moan about how Veronica can choose this loser over Logan.

Fandom will get angry and then RT will make some subtle (if late) changes and all will be better.

Sigh, unless the show gets cancelled. He doesn't have the opportunity to make changes like he did last year. They only have a 13-episode order and it could be gone even before then.

This is true. I'm still being optimistic that we'll get more than the 13, but who knows, really.
