Tied into the plot while giving us this wonderful, crazy relationship to enjoy. How that's a bad thing is beyond me.
ETA, I'm just talking about some comments I've seen here on this board(news thread) and another place. | I thought the same thing after I read a few of those posts. I was really irritated about the whole "teenybopper" comment. I decided not to post until I had sufficiently calmed down. L/V barely even had a relationship, so how could it have been the focus of the show? If anything I think we shippers are more nuts over the anticipation of a relationship more than what has been shown. Like you said, the angst in the "relationship" was directly involved with the 2 major story arcs (the rape and murder). I don't remember any obligatory angst, other than the reveal to Duncan and subsequent meltdown.
What really bothers me is the so called "fans" who immediately feel the need to announce that they'll stop watching if things don't go exactly like they want. I'm no fan of Veronica and Duncan, but if RT sees fit to put them together, so be it. I'm not going to "take my ball and go home" because I didn't get my way. I'm going to trust in the vision of the man who created this incredible show and let him blindly lead me wherever he wishes to take me. And I will do so gladly, because I am simply... a fan. |
