jlhI got a comment from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
scrabble (thanks, Rach) alerting me that Kristin of E! was reporting that VM was cancelled, so of course I ran over to see, and since then there's been an update:
Kristen is asking folks to comment on her blog entry with support for the show, or send a letter or postcard to Dawn Ostrow at the CW (the address is in the link).
I'm going to write in, but I'm of two minds about the proposed changes. On the one hand, I already wasn't looking forward to them returning in her college years though I was waiting to see those last four episodes to make up my mind. Seeing her as a young FBI agent would be interesting because she'd be at the low end of the totem pole and a frustrated Veronica is a motivated Veronica. Needless to say, we'd get out of the Veronica/Logan death spiral; while I'd greatly miss Logan as a character, if they're not going to do anything with him except have him make up and break up with Veronica then sheesh, let him live his own goddamned life. On the other hand, it could become just another police procedural, NUMB3RS with a younger protagonist, which would be a shame. Given our love of the rest of the cast (and with the possible and still unlikely exceptions of Mac and Keith, who could really remain?) it could be an horrific shark-jumping moment.
So what do you think? Here's a poll, and talk to me because I'm all sad now.

scrabble (thanks, Rach) alerting me that Kristin of E! was reporting that VM was cancelled, so of course I ran over to see, and since then there's been an update:And according to CW insiders, the CW has not officially canceled Veronica Mars. However, here's the catch: They are currently considering a different format for the fourth season. From what I hear, that format would leap four years into the future and focus on Veronica Mars as an FBI agent. Aside from returning star Kristen Bell (duh), the rest of the cast is yet to be determined, but it isn't likely that many of her current co-stars would be on board.
So bottom line: Veronica Mars could be: 1) spinning off into a new format, 2) returning in her college years or 3) getting canceled.
