we loved Veronica Mars too much

ironymaideni saw the Veronica Mars movie today, and had a great time. (one of my companions was a Kickstarter backer, as were several others in the audience judging by their matching t-shirts.) it was clearly written for the fans, and i think that it brought the joy that the Browncoats didn't get from Serenity. even though i could have just watched it at home, being in a crowd of fellow fans was delightful.
the fanservice was gratifying. the whole thing felt more like a pilot for a new series than a standalone film. i'd watch the heck out of that on Netflix or Prime. but i felt disturbed as i watched the film, and more so as the day has gone on. to press the reset button for the series, we have to scuttle Veronica's life and drop her back into high school status quo.
i've never quite beaten the irrational fear that i could go to Pennsylvania and somehow be barred from returning to Washington, that years of my life could be undone. i picture it rather like Ursula's garden.
so i have to keep reminding myself that Veronica isn't a person, that this is all about creating an interesting narrative. Veronica is a doll that we move around on our Neptune playset. we'd never do something like that to a real person, right? right?
