blurb about Mars' end...
Okay, seriously - I will try to make my next entry involve something other than news about her - honest. But I mentioned yesterday that Ausiello at TV Guide had one last piece of quotage from his Q&A with Kristen, so I'll just include it here. It's not really spoilery, so no cut necessary:
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
As always, she's classy and diplomatic in her response to the end of the show. I mean, at the time, no one thought that would be the END end - and all parties (and fans) involved seem to still have that creative spark and desire to eventually continue the story in some form, so perhaps it really isn't. But still, it serves well as a season finale - it just begs to be followed-up with more.
All of what follows is just my opinion, obviously, but I'm gonna cut it just in case:
Alas, all of that pretty much just springs from my own biases and fears - which manifest mainly because I adore the show at an almost unhealthy level. Perhaps a more self-contained story, one that isn't spanning a whole season or several episodes, would have a completely new idea that Rob hasn't disclosed anywhere - even to Kristen herself, who figures the ideas pitched to her for season four are what a potential movie would be about.
I guess waiting and hoping are all we can do right now. *sigh*
Kristen Bell is awesome.

Question: Thank you for the awesome Kristen Bell interview. Now give us those leftover quotes. I'm dying to find out what she thought of the Veronica Mars finale!— Nicole
Ausiello: Here you go: "I kind of feel like the way they left it open was the perfect wrap-up to the show. Because had they sealed it in a nice clean box, that's not what the show is about. The show was not about satisfying the viewers. The show was hard to follow, the show was really witty, the show was really sassy — it was for intelligent people. So I think it was wrapped up really nicely. That being said, I knew some things that were going to happen in Season 4 that I'm not going to dare say, 'cause that's probably what the movie is going to be about." I, naturally, pressed her for even the teeniest of scoopbits, but she wasn't budging. "I wish I could tell you," she responded, "because it's really good." No worries. I'll get it out of her next time I see her.

If you're a Veronica Mars fan who went and bought the season three DVD set yesterday, or know someone who did, or if you have seen the bonus material already somewhere, then you'll know what I'm referring to here. And if you haven't, I'd guess some YouTube user or clever poster somewhere may have the stuff ripped and uploaded before too long.
I already watched the deleted scenes and bloopers (see the post two entries below), and saw the webisode content on The CW's site. But I wanted to include some thoughts on what was totally new to me - the 'Season 4 Pitch' that is also included in the bonus material. Rob Thomas and Dan Etheridge get into some (optimistic) detail about the possible concept/direction for the show in a fourth season, and the presentation itself runs about 10-11 minutes of actual shot footage. My spew is cut below:
And that is my $.02 on the subject, for now.
There's also an hour-and-a-half feature with Rob Thomas's favorite moments/highlights from the show, so I'll have to get to that later.
Kristen Bell is awesome.
