Friday 24 September 2004, by Diana : I saw the show and liked it very much. I think the comparison to Buffy is valid in some ways - both are strong characters who had to grow up fast and take on some difficult responsibilities due to a change in their life’s circumstances. The dialog on BtVS may have been more cutting edge with its pop references, but VM has a brisk pace and enough wit to make it stand out amongst the soap-opera schmaltz you see on most channels nowadays. The plot had a nice unpredictability, too, which I found refreshing. I hope this show continues for a long time - there is so little "good television" left.Saturday 25 September 2004, by Fortyseven : The planet joke alone made me roll my eyes and almost overlook this one, but reading all the positive press about it, I gave it a shot and was pleasantly surprised. She almost kinda sounds like Buffy at times, to boot. ;) But yes, much good. I’ll probably catch it again. Also, check out ABC’s "LOST", which is quite surprisingly good, as well. Naturally, both of these shows will probably last at least 3 episodes until they’re canned, so watch ’em now before they vanish. :P Sunday 26 September 2004, by Soleil : Veronica Mars is not the new Buffy Summers, she’s the new Chloe Sullivan.These comments are an anwser to this article : ’Veronica Mars’ - UPN’s new Buffy ?
