I'll post the breakdown here too, just for future reference?



30 seconds long

Song: We Used To Be Friends

Open: Pilot – Wallace on pole.

Not-actually-Veronica Voice-over: “Hi, I’m Veronica Mars. That’s me…”

[Freeze-frame on VM with her in colour, b&w background, ‘Veronica Mars’ written next to her]

“…and that’s Lilly. My best friend ever. We shared everything until one day she was murdered”

Lilly and Veronica at car wash, Lilly saying “I’ve got a secret”

‘Who killed Lilly Kane’ written on notebook paper on screen across
scene where Veronica enters Kane house [but before she sees Duncan]

Veronica walking down hallway in pink/green

Network-Man V/O: “Soon to Ten it’s The OC meets Twin Peaks”
V/D kissing while walking down hallway [flashback to when they were together]

PCHers [arriving at the Camelot?]

Logan smashing the headlight, Weevil beating O-Town-mobile

Veronica by herself at her lunch table

Network-Woman V/O: “Veronica’s mixed up, confused…”

Veronica waking up at Shelley’s after you-know-what

“…a not-so-normal teenager”

Veronica being dragged away from Lilly’s body [?]

Veronica opening case files at Mars Investigations – pictures of a car

N-M V/O: “On a mission to catch her friend’s killer”

At Shelley’s party, Veronica walks past the camera, some girl trying to eat Duncan’s neck

N-M V/O: “In the town where it’s cool to be seen…”

Veronica looking sad after you-know-what

“…everyone’s got something to hide”

End: ‘Veronica’ on notebook paper, MARS on black background in white

N-M V/O: “Veronica Mars, premiering soon, on Ten”

It's horrible but not terrible. In that it could be worse we are talking about ten here

[midnight]

Yeah. I'm grateful that they're advertising it at all, but then I know it could be so much better!!!

I think they could have done a promo for the whole season, and it would have been awesome.

But I really think that they'll screen maybe 6 or 7 episodes and then it'll lay forgotten like all of the other summer shows.

[nyla]

They better play it in order ten isn't as bad as 7 or 9 in that regard but I mean it. This show HAS to be played in order.

I hope they do it justice and play the whole lot. It's not like they have anything good to replace it with.

[midnight]

Yeah, I know!

But the thing is I know One Tree Hill and Summerland were similar to the VM target audience and they didn't even get through half a season of those over the summer, I don't think.
Ten is good to some shows but not so good to others.

[nyla]

Yeah Ten don't really give shows a chance. If it's not rating well by ep 2 it's gone. I think summerland had the VM spot right? and one was on Fridays?

I'm sure tools will tune in ep 2 to see Skanky so maybe it'll carry on thanks to that.
