Now, does that mean that Logan and Veronica won't ultimatley end up together? No, of course not. Personally, I hope they do - I'm a fan. But with R. Thomas firmly holding the reigns for this film, I don't see why anyone would think that is what they would see. Did Season 1 do that? Did Season 2? It only occured when they were backed into a corner by their superiors.

Yeah, I don't agree with that. RT was pandering to the shippers long before the CW made him. The entire relationship was pandering from the start, back in S1. She was brushing off his part in her rape in order to keep making out with him on the very night she found out the truth. S2 ended with him getting to save her life and the two of them ending the season together happily (and abruptly). If he writes them the way he wants, I'll accept it and be fine. If he does what I think he was doing with them for the majority of the run of the show and just tries to make the shippers happy? Not so much.

So in turn, I have to disagree. By the point S1 had wrapped, Thomas had very little inkling of how the fandom would shape up. Those eps were more then likely done just as we were building to the initial kiss. Everything he did at the end of S1 was all him and the people around him.

And S2 was built up to that finale, whether the majority of the fanbase wanted them together or not. The building and escalading love story isn't anything new, and S2 was a perfect example of that... it just did it better then most other shows.

The entire season played up the angst and history of their relationship. After the "epic speech", everything was leading towards their getting back together at some point. You thinking it happened too early is your opinion no doubt. But I think the timing was spot on.

Having Logan save her life was the right call for my money. Keith did the deed in S1, at that point in the series Logan had been built up to be the 2nd most important person in her life - especially in that time frame after everything that those characters would be going at that point in time. They had just graduated and individually put their hearts on the line for another all in the span of a few days. It just made sense. Whether or not Thomas did that to please the shippers or because it was a story he wanted to tell, is your own call to make. I tend to lean towards the latter.

I don't think RT ever went far out of his way to make the shippers happy, S3 holds testament to that. I firmly believe that LoVe is one of the few couples in TV history that worked better together, then they did apart. If anything, Thomas went out of his way to piss the shippers off in S3 - you acknoweldged that yourself a few posts back. He always seemed commited to the fact that the show wouldn't work if they were together for an extended peiod of time, which I never really understood.

To sum it up here, if he is to write them the way he wants, I think no matter what, you see a nice amount of emotional and well played scenes between Jason and Kristen in this possible film. And, if I had to bet on it, I would say that when we fade to black, they are together. However, going back to my original point, I don't think you see a 2 hour film devoted to the LoVe relationship. If that is what it comes to, then I think the next news worthy article that will be posted is "Rob Thomas Confirms Mars Movie Dead".
