Skip to: [Greeting with many past greetings linked together. Cameron will not transcribe it because this podcast aired on her birthday, readers, and for her birthday she will do what she wants. Go listen.] [BIRTHDAY!] [OPENING THEME MUSIC: Vancefurd- Pirate Song] SCARLETT: It’s Scarlett, Pirates, and I’m back. You’re listening to Neptune Pirate Radio. Yay! THEO: Yay. Welcome back, everybody. So guess who’s not here this week? Guess who left us on our own? To our own evil ends. SCARLETT: I’m here. So it can’t be me. THEO: I’m here. SCARLETT: And it’s usually me. THEO: That’s right. And we also have Bailey here. BAILEY: I’m- I’m here. THEO: So. It’s our fearless leader. SCARLETT: Sandy. BAILEY: Sandy. THEO: Sandy. BAILEY: You know, I’m so happy for her but I can’t staunch this jealousy. THEO: That’s right. And if, if people don’t remember, Sandy is actually at Comic Con and you will be hearing from her later in this podcast, because she is calling us immediately after her interviews with the cast of everyone’s favorite show, Veronica Mars, and we should have some great news from uh, season three. So I just thought I’d warn everyone out there that uh, we’ll probably have 1800 spoiler warnings this episode, but we’re hoping not to give anything big. We’re not; we’re hoping not to give away the story. BAILEY: And we know it’s gonna be good. SCARLETT: We’ll only give away what they give away. THEO: That’s right. And we’re actually gonna not even give away that much so if you’re really worried, we’re gonna warn you, number one. And number two, we’re not gonna, we’re really not gonna ruin anything big. Or anything at all, really. So. SCARLETT: That’s ‘cause I’m a spoilerphobe and I won’t let them. BAILEY: Yeah, me too. THEO: Yeah. Yeah. We’re all kinda, we all got spoiled a little bit this week and we were all very disappointed. BAILEY: We’re gonna keep Theo in check. THEO: Absolutely. Then again, it just drives us on to uh, becoming more and more excited as the new season approaches, so. BAILEY: Right. And I have been. SCARLETT: Also, the new season’s coming on late, so. THEO: Oh, that’s right! Our first topic of discussion. Season three of Veronica Mars will premiere on Tuesday, October 3rd. Which is a little late in the game, don’t you think? BAILEY: It is. It’s a week later than the Gilmore Girls premiere, which is kind of strange. THEO: That’s right. Yeah. BAILEY: And it’s also, it’s like really late in comparison to the times that it’s aired before, or the other shows that are starting up this fall. THEO: That’s true. That’s true. And it’s one week- did you say one week after the Gilmore Girls premiere? BAILEY: Yeah. SCARLETT: Yeah. It could be a good thing though, because the DVDs will be out in August, so that gives people tons of time to get caught up, new viewers and stuff. THEO: That’s true. That’s true. BAILEY: That’s definitely true, because this year the DVDs came out really close to premiere time. THEO: Yeah. SCARLETT: It was actually after the premiere, was it not? Just after. BAILEY: I think it’s like, I think it was just like right before. SCARLETT: It was either the same week or like, yeah. I think so. I don’t know. THEO: Oh. Where is Sandy? She’s got this information engraved in her brain somewhere. SCARLETT: See this is what happens when our facts girl leaves us. THEO: That’s right. We should be- SCARLETT: We just have spec. THEO: Everyone’s sort of on notice, we could just be inventing stuff right now. And, uh… BAILEY: We are. SCARLETT: Yeah guys. Actually there is no season three. BAILEY: There is no season three. We’ve been lying. SCARLETT: It’s all denial. THEO: Okay. Don’t do that because we’ve tempted fate enough already. SCARLETT: No, sorry. There is a season three. We love it. BAILEY: Well I have to say that everything is gonna be good, because when Sandy got there on her drive from the airport she- the first thing she saw was a yellow X-terra, so. That’s the best sign. [Laughter] SCARLETT: Yay! THEO: Excellent. Excellent. Also, region two DVDs are coming out for season one for Veronica Mars. SCARLETT: Woohoo! Yeah. Early next year. THEO: Excellent. Excellent. So our friends overseas can buy another set, I guess. SCARLETT: Yes. I’m going to have all of them. THEO: Well, you’ll have to let us know whether there are any differences. SCARLETT: I will! I, I hope there’s some extras or better extras, you know, maybe complete scenes that we didn’t get on the, the U.S. ones, ‘cause eh, British DVDs do tend to have more extras. As a whole. But, you know what I’m gonna use my DVDs for? I’m going to use them to build a dream house for my action figures. [Laughter] THEO: Oh God. I can’t wait. I saw that. BAILEY: Oh God. SCARLETT: Come on, guys. Logan and Veronica and Weevil action figures. THEO: These are really coming out, right? I mean this is not a cruel joke you’ve played on me? BAILEY: No, it’s real. SCARLETT: No, yeah it’s a website. Cinequest. Cinequest.com This is the site that’s gonna be selling them. They already do the trading cards. THEO: Awesome. SCARLETT: And they’re making action figures and busts. BAILEY: And busts. SCARLETT: If you just want their heads and their chests. [THEO laughter] BAILEY: The busts make me laugh really hard. And you know what, I’ll probably own some of those too. THEO: The busts. How big are these busts? Are they like, you know, Shakespearean busts where they have like, you know, on a pedestal you put in the middle of your, you know, marble hallway? SCARLETT: In the hallway! You know to greet people, Weevil. THEO: Exactly! Exactly. BAILEY: Well I thought- SCARLETT: That would be awesome. BAILEY: Well when I first heard it I was like picturing like, life-sized Veronica head. But they’re like 6 inches, I think. I think I read that they were 6 inches. THEO: Wow. BAILEY: Which is kinda lame, because a bust is supposed to be, isn’t it supposed to be life-sized? THEO: I think so. SCARLETT: I don’t really know. I’ve never been that obsessed with the show that I would buy one before, so. THEO: A bust, yeah. BAILEY: I thought you were gonna say I’ve never been obsessed with busts. I was about to- [Laughter] THEO: You know what? I think I’ve got Sandy’s Christmas shopping done. So uh. Excellent. She’s gonna have a couple busts. SCARLETT: Let’s hope she doesn’t listen to this when she edits it. THEO: Obviously she won’t do that. This week we’ve had a lot of, I guess the last two weeks really we’ve had a lot of news coming. We’ve had a lot of uh, Rob Thomas interviews. BAILEY: Yeah. SCARLETT: He’s everywhere. THEO: It seems like he can’t, you can’t turn around without finding an interview with him. BAILEY: Why isn’t he here? He needs to come here. THEO: Well. We’ll see how close Sandy gets to the action today at Comic Con. BAILEY: Yes. THEO: So uh, with any luck, knock on wood, fingers crossed, she’ll have some really good scoops for us. So. SCARLETT: Obviously we sent the most sensible member of our podcast. The rest of us would scare them off. THEO: Yeah. Clearly. BAILEY: Yeah, well she’s, she’s extremely charming, so. THEO: And professional. Very professional. BAILEY: And professional. THEO: So hopefully, God knows. SCARLETT: I like how she’s gone and all that we can say is like, she’s charming and professional. [Laughter] SCARLETT: Let’s do the trashing. THEO: She’s, she’s an asset to our group. [More laughter] SCARLETT: I feel like we’re writing a report card here for school. A-plus. THEO: I think we’re giving her a job reference here, you know. BAILEY: Relates well with others. SCARLETT: Sandy is a pleasure to teach. THEO: She plays well with others. She does. So uh. SCARLETT: Let’s hope she plays well with the cast. BAILEY: Yeah, let’s hope she will. THEO: Oh, I’m sure she will. I’m sure she will. She is brave. She is bold in the face of adversity. [Laughter] SCARLETT: You think that meeting Ryan Hansen and eh, Jason Dohring is adversity? THEO: I think I- no comment. SCARLETT: No! BAILEY: I think that when Sandy sits across from Jason she is just gonna melt. She’s just- THEO: Let’s hope. BAILEY: -she’ll, she’ll pull through it but I think that first second’s gonna be a little rough on her. THEO: Oh I can’t wait to hear about this. BAILEY: I know. SCARLETT: Me too. I- I wish I was there just to shout Hands In Pants and make it really awkward. [Laughter] THEO: Can’t wait. BAILEY: I kept having this vision. She was talking about how Jason has this very intense stare, and I was like, okay I just have this vision of you sitting across from him, and him just staring at you intensely, and you just suddenly, just suddenly going: Hands In Pants. [Laughter] SCARLETT: Oh dear. THEO: Is it too much to hope that she just, you know- she is the paragon of sort of professionalism and dignity and just, just a great person, hard worker. We love you. We miss you. Whatever. But I would love to see her get up there and just, just have a moment where she’s completely flustered, and I… I think that would be great. [Laughter] SCARLETT: She’ll never tell us. She’ll never tell us. THEO: She would never tell us ‘cause she knows we would tell you. So. You would all hear about it if she did that. But, no. She is grace, dignity. She is uh, Audrey Hepburn. [Car horn beeps in BG] SCARLETT: Ooh! The car horn outside someone’s house! [Hysterical Laughter] BAILEY: Beep! Beep! SCARLETT: That was so appropriate! BAILEY: It was. [Laughter] SCARLETT: Honk if you love Sandy! THEO: That’s right. Anyway, so back to the Rob Thomas interviews. The ones that were not given to Sandy. SCARLETT: No. THEO: No. Um. SCARLETT: Which is probably for the best. THEO: Which is probably for the best because it, they would probably fully transcribe. So we find out a lot about season three. And uh, this is- we’re not gonna spoil anyone. The whole sort of, I guess segmented season we’ve already discussed. BAILEY: Mhm. SCARLETT: Yes. The three mysteries. THEO: Right. And uh, we have it from the writer himself that there will be three mysteries to next season. The first mystery- and I think this maybe explains, this maybe explains why it’ll be starting a little late. Uh, the first mystery arc will be 9 episodes long, and it will run straight through without preemptions, so thank God for those of us who live in New York and L.A. BAILEY: Yes. SCARLETT: Best thing ever. THEO: And uh, no repeats. Even better. SCARLETT: Ooh. THEO: So hopefully that’ll be- SCARLETT: It could be the perfect part of TV. THEO: It could be the perfect part of TV, that’s right. BAILEY: A lot of people, when Rob first mentioned the idea of having, of breaking them down into smaller mysteries, a lot of people were kind of against it, but the more you think about it, I think the better it is, because without like- take this year for instance. We had like, a three or four week break in between and you totally- you kind of lose interest in the season-long mystery with that much time. You aren’t thinking about it. Your brain isn’t working. You aren’t as involved when the show comes back. THEO: That’s true. BAILEY: You forget things that you’ve seen. I think keeping ‘em a little more compact, also things won’t be as slow in the beginning, it’ll be resolved rather quickly. You won’t have those dry episodes where you feel like nothing’s happening. THEO: Yeah. SCARLETT: Also, hopefully it’ll- the story writing will be a bit more tight-knit. THEO: Yeah. BAILEY: Right. SCARLETT: I mean, you find- what often happens with American seasons…. Because like, a British season is maybe 13 episodes long at most. An American season is 22, sometimes 24 or 26. And uh, you know, I mean I think we all saw even in season one there are episodes that are just there. THEO: Yeah. SCARLETT: And they’re kinda duds. The Girl Next Door, you know, stuff like that. BAILEY: Right. THEO: Yeah. [They talk over each other. Bailey wins again. It must be the power of music.] BAILEY: Well it’s stuff that- those episodes were interesting and you enjoy to watch them, but they aren’t moving the story along. THEO: Absolutely. SCARLETT: Exactly. And if you’ve got kinda more compact seasons than everything can be full of, you know, clues and stuff, because they’ve got so much less time to get it. THEO: That’s true. Yeah. SCARLETT: It’s concentrated. Tastes better. More intense. THEO: Yeah, and if you start watching in the middle of a mystery, a mystery arc I should say, you only have 4 episodes to catch up with as opposed to say, 12 or 13. SCARLETT: 20. THEO: Yeah, 20. BAILEY: Oh yeah. THEO: So uh, no I think this’ll be good. Because I think this gives people a chance, and I know this is one of the big reasons they’re, they’re breaking it up, is it gives people a chance to jump right in. And I know that’s a problem though, ‘cause I know in the interviews he said, you know Rob Thomas said that, you know, it’s kinda like e thought of last season to be more like 24, where if you miss the first 10 episodes, you’re screwed. BAILEY: Right. THEO: It’s hard to catch up. It’s hard to follow. And especially with such an intense mystery like this, like last season, where you have two main arcs that go the whole season long. And, you know if you’ve, you really can’t, I mean I- you can and you can still enjoy it ‘cause of the mini-mysteries or the mysteries of the week, but you can’t enjoy the whole season as it should be if you’re, if you’ve only just seen episode 12 from the whole season. BAILEY: Right. Definitely. SCARLETT: I mean, even season one, the mystery was so simple: Who Killed Lilly Kane? BAILEY: Right. SCARLETT: You could pick it up at any point because, you know, every week it was who killed Lilly Kane? Who killed Lilly Kane? THEO: Yeah. Yeah. SCARLETT: Oh, by the way, who raped Veronica? THEO: Yeah. BAILEY: Right. SCARLETT: You know, the two mysteries were so solid that this last season the mysteries were just so convoluted- THEO: Yeah. SCARLETT: -and you didn’t know if they connected with each other. BAILEY: Right. SCARLETT: There were so many throwaway things like the Fitzpatricks, you know, how did they get in? You know, there was just a lot to process. So. THEO: I think so too. I agree. SCARLETT: I- I couldn’t have dropped in on season two. I couldn’t have done it if I hadn’t seen season one. THEO: Yeah. And I think it’s, it’s very telling for Rob Thomas as a writer and a creator that he says, you know, this is my work and I love it, but there are problems with it and I’m not afraid of changing it to make it more accessible to viewers. Because I think- I want this show to be on eight more seasons at least, so I love the fact that he’s very willing to sort of look at, you know, what works and what didn’t and change it accordingly. I know a lot of people have like, such great pride or such great; I don’t wanna say pride, but uh… BAILEY: Arrogance. THEO: Arrogance. Yeah. Sort of, yeah. SCARLETT: Yeah. THEO: And uh… SCARLETT: No I really respect that he’s willing to take a step back and say that didn’t work, let’s try something new. THEO: Yeah. BAILEY: Well I think it’s very admirable of him to admit that. SCARLETT: Yeah. BAILEY: I mean, it’s his baby. I’ve seen online that a lot of people kinda were saying that he was condescending and saying that, that he didn’t like, his thoughts on how the season progressed and what he felt, and the mistakes he made, but I think it’s very noble to admit those mistakes and say hey, we made this mistake. What are we gonna do from here to not make it again, to make it better? THEO: Right. BAILEY: You know? I think it’s very admirable to be able to do that. SCARLETT: I should say along with this kind of theme, of the, you know, the mini-mysteries and everything being more intense – I don’t think this is a spoiler – I heard that Veronica is gonna be more involved again. THEO: Oh good. BAILEY: Yeah. SCARLETT: He wants Veronica in like, every scene. Well, not every scene, but you know, he’s going back to the season one of it all being Veronica’s point of view. THEO: Absolutely. I think that’s great. BAILEY: I think so too. SCARLETT: I read that online somewhere. THEO: And I think that- I read a lot of complaints. I don’t necessarily agree with the point of view, but I read a lot of complaints about season two that she just didn’t care. And that she was too withdrawn from the mysteries, and it didn’t have the sort of personal connection that who killed Lilly Kane had. BAILEY: Right. THEO: But uh, I can’t wait for that to be remedied. SCARLETT: I think we just didn’t see enough from her point of view. THEO: Yeah. SCARLETT: You know, it was just that we saw a lot from Logan’s point of view or from Weevil’s point of view that we didn’t in the first season. So we weren’t kind of eh, so knocked on the head with: this is Veronica’s point of view. THEO: Absolutely. SCARLETT: This is what she thinks. And I think people missed that. BAILEY: I think there are, there are things that were negatively affected by that. But I also think that it was kinda nice. I think that it might’ve been to some extent, on purpose. Like, this season was less about the victims of the bus crash and more about Veronica dealing with her feelings and then the killer who turned out to be a victim… I think it might’ve been done on purpose but it just kind of backfired a little bit. I think like, they wanted to take some of the workload off of Kristen, but it also- she was kind of, she was going through her own changes after the resolution of last season I think. She was trying to deal with that and trying to get her head together. She was dealing with guilt. She was dealing with fear. She was dealing with trying to be normal again. I think that’s- it was heavily concentrated on that, and it- I think it was a good idea in theory, but it just didn’t come off I think the way they expected. [Cameron would like to point out that Bailey is very verbose. This is the trimmed version. She also speaks very fast, which makes Cameron abuse the rewind button. Bailey said all of this in six seconds.] [Lies are okay on a birthday.] THEO: Yeah. All right. Since we’ve been talking about some of the uh, changes in season three, we can’t talk about those without talking about some of the uh, character changes and things like that. So what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna take a- SCARLETT: Ooh. THEO: -Yes. Absolutely. [More oohs] THEO: I’m very excited about some of this. SCARLETT: Sorry. It needed a mysterious noise there. THEO: I think so. And you’re the girl to do it. We’re gonna, we’re gonna take a quick break. And we’re gonna come back. We’re gonna talk about these things. And some people may be very sensitive to the spoiler issues. Uh, we’re not gonna go in depth about anything. We’re gonna talk about who’s back, who’s not, who’s new. Uh, we’ll give you names, things like that. BAILEY: I have a secret. THEO: Nothing- BAILEY: I have a secret. Kyle Gallner’s not coming back next season! It’s big news! Top secret! Nobody knows! [Gasps and affronted glares] SCARLETT: You spoiler! Spoiler! THEO: Nope! You- No! Spoiler, spoiler! Sh! Going to a break! We’ll be back in a minute! We’ve gotta stop her! We’ll see you in a bit. [SONG. It is Wave Goodbye by Steadman. Cameron waves.] BAILEYVO: Attention spoilerphobes. The next portion of this podcast will contain casting spoilers for season three of Veronica Mars. We won’t be doing anything too specific but we will be talking about who’s gonna go, who’s gonna stay, and we’re gonna bring up a couple new characters, but not get into anything specific involving them. If you would like to skip this portion of the podcast, please zip on over to minute 32:35, and you’ll be good to go. [Cameron skips.] [Sandy yanks her leash.] [Cameron changes her mind.] THEO: Welcome back, Veronica fans. Uh, Theo here. And we are now going to discuss the new and the old cast members who are gonna return or appear. [There are sounds. They are Bailey and Scarlett being regal. Or something.] THEO: Insert ominous music here. BAILEY: Scarlett is our own little sound effect machine. THEO: That’s right. SCARLETT: That’s the only reason I’m here. [CAMERON: You could have a worse reason.] BAILEY: And cue applause. THEO: I think that should be your title. Cue applause. [Laughter] SCARLETT: I’m the effects machine. THEO: Anyway. SCARLETT: I could be a boom box. If like, one of you guys can rap than I can do the boom box. [If this happens, Cameron quits. A person has to have limits.] BAILEY: Um. THEO: Yeah. No. Sorry. I- I… BAILEY: Yeah, I’m no good. THEO: Bailey, I don’t think I can rap. You’re on your own here. BAILEY: I- you don’t want me to rap. [Laughter] THEO: I don’t think I want you to rap either. [Laughter] BAILEY: I guess our rapping will be contained to the shower. THEO: Yes. SCARLETT: I guess we should start talking about these characters then. THEO: Yes. Three people we know won’t be back. And that is Duncan, Jackie, and… as it was spoiled earlier… [Many gasps] THEO: And I’m so telling, I’m so telling Mom when she gets back, by the way. BAILEY: Theo! SCARLETT: She’s gonna be so angry with you. THEO: I’m telling Mom. BAILEY: Man. THEO: Uh. And Beav. Beav’s dead. Beav’s dead, baby. Beav’s dead. [Bailey sounds of sadness. Still.] BAILEY: You know I- SCARLETT: Mwahahahaha. BAILEY: I almost forgot. THEO: I know. Well in, in other sad news, we also got word this week of another cast member that probably won’t be returning as a season regular. SCARLETT: I was devastated. THEO: Which made us, we were- and the person we’re talking about is uh, Aaron Ashmore, who played- SCARLETT: He played Troy. THEO: Troy. And well, you know, it’s sort of a bittersweet thing because he’s going, he actually got a job. He’s gonna play Jimmy Olsen on uh, Smallville, next season. SCARLETT: So we’re happy for him, but we wanted him on our show. BAILEY: Absolutely. THEO: Yeah. BAILEY: I’m sorry, but he can’t play Jimmy Olsen. He is not Jimmy Olsen. I mean I’m not doubting his acting capability, but he is not Jimmy Olsen. He is too cool for Jimmy Olsen. THEO: Yeah. Jimmy Olsen’s a bit of a nerd. BAILEY: He is. THEO: Um. Jimmy Olsen. Not even really a nerd. BAILEY: Can you picture Aaron with a bowtie? I can’t. SCARLETT: Yeah, and slicked back hair. It would be awesome. I mean, he got- he went all soft and got punched in the face, and was like, help me Veronica. I’m sure he can make that one step into a different character. BAILEY: No. He got punched in the face. He got punched in the face and was like, screw her, I’m going to The Daily Planet. SCARLETT: Yup. THEO: Yeah. SCARLETT: Wouldn’t you? THEO: You know. SCARLETT: Wouldn’t you? BAILEY: That’s exactly what I would do. SCARLETT: We need to treat our guest stars much better. THEO: Too much sacrifice to make a steal of the heart. I think so. I agree. But I will say= SCARLETT: We do have some people staying with us. THEO: That’s right. Mac, Tina Majorino’s character, is going to become a regular, I believe. BAILEY: That is so exciting. THEO: Someone back me up. That’s what I’ve heard. BAILEY: Yes. THEO: And uh, we also know that Mac, Wallace, Logan, and Dick Casablancas will all be back next season. And I’m not, I’m not gonna tell you how, ‘cause I think that’s a bit of a spoiler. But I will tell you that they will still be season regulars. So I look forward to seeing them all next season. SCARLET: Yay! BAILEY: I have to say, I’m very excited about Mac being back. But more than anything, I’m happy for both her and Ryan to be back because I’m so interested to see how they’re dealing with the aftermath of what happened with Cassidy. THEO: Oh yeah. BAILEY: I think that will make some really good… just to see. They don’t have to draw it out, but. [Murmurs and agreement] THEO: I agree. And especially the relationship between those two. I mean those were, I think those two were the closest to him. BAILEY: Definitely. THEO: And so now they gotta- I wonder if there’ll be a friendship there. BAILEY: I don’t know. Half the Internet fandom seems to want a relationship. SCARLETT: Think they’re gonna hook up. THEO: Oh really? SCARLETT: Creepy. BAILEY: Yeah. It’s all over. THEO: Yeah I- you know what? I don’t think I can see that. BAILEY: I can’t see it either. THEO: But you know what? I’ve been surprised before. And I don’t wanna count anything out. SCARLET: I would never think that Logan and Veronica were gonna hook up and look what happened there. BAILEY: Yeah. THEO: Well. It’s true. BAILEY: I just, I think- SCARLETT: But you know what? You’ve missed a very important casting spoiler. BAILEY: What? SCARLETT: Veronica’s gonna be back, guys. [Gasps] THEO: Oh my God! Really? BAILEY: Oh my God! THEO: I wasn’t sure there, for a minute. With her being the title character and everything. SCARLETT: Exactly. Kristen Bell is gonna be back for season three. BAILEY: Yay. THEO: Woo! I can rest easily at night now. BAILEY: I know. THEO: Critical acclaim and a big spot on uh, the new network, I didn’t thank that’d be enough to draw her back into the TV show. BAILEY: I didn’t either. SCARLETT: No. THEO: But uh, nope. Good for them. And I also, I also found out some interesting news this week that I remembered. Uh. That the upfronts, that, you know, when a network tries to sell their shows to advertisers for the next season, the upfronts from the CW were way beyond what they expected. BAILEY: Really? THEO: Yeah. I, I was reading that they expected something like, um, and these numbers are probably wrong, but about $695 million in advertising, and they got about $730 or $725. BAILEY: Wow. That’s great. THEO: And that exceeded all expectations. And a lot of other networks- I think FOX didn’t meet their expectations. I think some of the other networks didn’t either. So. A very big vote of confidence for the new network, and a very big vote of confidence for Veronica Mars. BAILEY: The CW’s where it’s at, baby. THEO: Absolutely. SCARLETT: That bodes well. THEO: It does. It bodes very well. Because I think advertising dollars is just as important as demographics or, you know, ratings every week. So. BAILEY: Well the thing is, is that’s just what’s gonna boost the show. That was the biggest problem with Veronica Mars being on UPN, I think. The advertising. SCARLETT: It didn’t make them any money. THEO: Yeah. Wow. I’m very impressed. I’m very happy. BAILEY: Yeah. SCARLETT: Me too. It’s the little show that could. THEO: That’s right. And this, I know in all the interviews I’ve read, in all the publicity I’ve read about the new season: this is the make or break time. So this is a good step forward and hopefully it’ll be followed by a really great, you know, first arc mystery, and that’ll get people from Gilmore Girls, and it’ll just take off. SCARLETT: Well if you think about it, around the third season most shows- kind of when you get to the third season that’s when they usually get picked up for maybe a double season contract. THEO: That’s true. SCARLETT: You know. You go like, contract for a season-to-season, and then if season three goes well you usually get four and five at the same time. THEO: Yeah, because by that point you don’t wanna have to renegotiate the contracts for the actors every season. SCARLETT: Exactly. THEO: ‘Cause they’ll be wanting more as it does better, so. With any luck we’ll be uh… God, that’s such- we’ve gone from a very real fear of being cancelled to talking about, you know, potential for multi-season contracts. So maybe we should just be grateful for what we have and just cross our fingers. BAILEY: I was gonna say that. SCARLETT: Yeah. THEO: Yeah. I know if Sandy were here she’d yell at us for jinxing it. So I’m gonna be the voice of, I don’t know. SCARLETT: Un-jinxiness. THEO: Pooh-poohing it, I guess. But uh. [Giggles] BAILEY: Isn’t that a great word? THEO: I love it. Everyone out there should use the word pooh-pooh this week. And not in the intestinalogical sense please. [Cameron requests that the hosts stop making up words. Her spell-check may go on strike.] BAILEY: You know, when you say it it kind of makes you feel- everybody’s voice changes when they say it. You always get a little, you know, haughty sounding. You’re like- [THEO laughter] THEO: That’s right. BAILEY: -pooh-pooh it. Don’t pooh-pooh it. THEO: Yes. Absolutely. BAILEY: Wow. SCARLETT: I’m being quiet here for a reason. But there we go. THEO: And thank you for that. SCARLETT: Do we have any other exciting news? THEO: I think that’s all the casting uh- SCARLETT: No? Yeah, there we go. [Confused silence] THEO: What? SCARLETT: Is that it? Is that- it’s good to go? [Laughter] SCARLETT: I thought there was gonna be more excitement here. I feel an anti-climax here. BAILEY: We’re trying to keep the mystery alive! THEO: Okay, Scarlett. What exactly did you bring to the table, then? SCARLETT: I told you Veronica’s gonna be back. THEO: Oh, thanks. We got that the all-important Veronica Mars will be back in her own show. [Talking all at once] SCARLETT: Just be glad I got my Internet working to be here. THEO: I am so glad. We’ve missed you quite a bit. BAILEY: Have we heard any news about um-? [Fumbling craziness] BAILEY: Sorry. I dropped my drink. [CAMERON: Of what? Can I have some?] SCARLETT: You sound like you’re having a little seizure there. [Seizure humor sound] [Laughter] BAILEY: I dropped my drink all over myself. Do we have any- do we have any news about Charisma Carpenter, the character of Kendall coming back? Because we had a little cliffhanger that she was involved in. SCARLETT: Oh, of course. THEO: Absolutely. Um. I haven’t really heard anything about that, and I could be very wrong. I’m sure Sandy, upon listening to this, will be screaming and jumping up and down on me. But I’m thinking, I don’t think she’ll be back as a regular. I think that she may be back as a regular for a couple of episodes just to sort of explain that mystery. BAILEY: Yeah. SCARLETT: It would make sense. THEO: But like I said, I don’t know. That’s just my best guess. So I could be partly wrong. BAILEY: I think she’ll be back to serve her purpose in regards to the mystery and then we won’t see much of her. THEO: I think so. BAILEY: There isn’t really a reason to see much from her, except to wrap that mystery up. THEO: Yeah. SCARLETT: I mean really apart from her kinda tryst with Logan, we didn’t see a lot of her, you know for any other reason. BAILEY: Right. She didn’t really play a huge role until the very end there. SCARLETT: No. THEO: Yeah. SCARLETT: I want Big Dick Casablancas back. BAILEY: Oh, I do too. He’s so great. SCARLETT: To mourn his son with his other son. THEO: Oh, this just in, Scarlett. This just in. Veronica Mars’ father will be back. [Gasps] SCARLETT: Really? THEO: Yeah. SCARLETT: What about Backup? THEO: Um. No word yet. BAILEY: Backup. THEO: I think he’s renegotiating his salary at this point, so it’s all touch and go. [Giggles] SCARLETT: He’s such a diva. BAILEY: He is. THEO: I know. SCARLETT: That dog. Do you think he would come and talk to us? BAILEY: I don’t know. THEO: I don’t know. SCARLETT: Ruff ruff ruff ruff. THEO: You know- [Derailed by laughter] THEO: You know, in the realm of minor characters, I hope Leo comes back. BAILEY: I love Leo. SCARLETT: Yes! Lovely Leo. BAILEY: Yeah. THEO: Yes. I heard that um- [Interruptions] SCARLETT: Go on. THEO: The uh, the- Michael Cera from Arrested Development is filming a movie at the moment and they’re not sure whether he’ll be back. So uh. SCARLETT: See I would quite like him back maybe just for a tiny role. BAILEY: Right. THEO: Or perhaps in the third mystery arc. Sort of the last segment. SCARLETT: Yeah. Just in bits and places. THEO: Yeah, and it’s only six episodes so if he were in four of five of them I think that would be great. BAILEY: Right. SCARLETT: But I wasn’t too uh, amazed by oh, can’t remember actor’s name- Maeby? THEO: Maeby, yeah. SCARLETT: Can’t believe I forgot her name. Yeah. I- her role in it I wasn’t really… didn’t like it. THEO: And well you know what, I have one more thing for you. The big thing that we didn’t mention yet, the two new characters that will be on the show. BAILEY: Oh, that’s right. SCARLETT: Oh. I’m so- I don’t. THEO: That’s right. Now these have been released. I- you can la la la so you don’t have to listen to this one. SCARLETT: La la la la. No. BAILEY: Cover your ears! THEO: Um. The two new characters that were announced by Rob Thomas uh, in the last couple weeks. I’m gonna give you there names and, you know, basic- a little bit of information. Not as much as he gave you on the website. Uh. I mean on the interviews. So if you’d like to know more you can find out online, and if you don’t wanna no more, you don’t have to be spoiled. You can just be happy knowing their names or completely forwarding this segment. Whatever. It’s up to you. BAILEY: And if you’re forwarding this segment you won’t hear this. THEO: That’s right. So, you know, we don’t like people that forward the segment. SCARLETT: It’ll be fine! BAILEY: The people who forward this segment suck! THEO: That’s right. [Giggles] THEO: We like to make fun of those that can’t defend themselves. That’s pretty much our prime target here at uh, Neptune Pirate Radio. BAILEY: That’s right. THEO: The new- there’ll be two new characters that we know of. The first is named Stosh Piznarski or nicknamed “Piz.” P-I-Z. [Laughter] SCARLETT: Sorry. What- what the hell? That’s like Pez. Like, what is he? A candy? A candy dispenser? THEO: Yeah. I’m sure with the word “Piz” they were clearly trying to imply Pez candy. Yes. [More talking at once] THEO: He will be Wallace’s roommate. And uh, there’s more to him, but if you don’t wanna be spoiled, and I know uh, Bailey and Scarlett- SCARLETT: I didn’t want to be until everyone told me. THEO: -yeah. So I suggest you be very careful if you search for him. And then there’s a new, a new female character named Parker who will be Mac’s roommate. And uh, very excited. There’s also a little more information about her online. So if you wanna find out more, go there. We won’t- we’re trying to be good. We’re trying to be anti-spoiler. So that’s pretty much all we’re gonna give you on the podcast. BAILEY: I’m still hung up on Piznarski. [Cameron is reminded of Pinsky, who replaced Michael on Salute Your Shorts, and later grew up to form a band called Rilo Kiley. Perhaps this bodes well after all.] THEO: Yeah. Yeah. SCARLETT: Now what’s his first name? What’s his first name? THEO: Stosh. S-T-O-S-H. BAILEY: Stosh. SCARLETT: Stosh. THEO: I’m not sure if that’s a nickname or if that’s a given name. SCARLETT: If his nickname is Piz than, you know. How many nicknames does he have? THEO: Well- SCARLETT: I just feel sorry for this guy. [BAILEY laughter] BAILEY: I know. THEO: I agree. Maybe he needed more than one nickname. Maybe when his parents brought him home from the hospital they didn’t really- SCARLETT: I mean Wallace and Piz? That’s the most unfortunately named roommate situation ever. Wallace and Piz. THEO: That’s true. Yeah. SCARLETT: I just hope that Logan and Dick never meet these guys because they’re just gonna kick the absolute piss out of them. THEO: But that- [Laughter] THEO: You mean the Piz? [Said with Bailey] BAILEY: Piz? [Dopey laughter[ THEO: Anyway. But no. I can’t wait for Logan and uh, Dick to meet them. ‘Cause it’ll be two good comedy moments. So. [Giggles] SCARLETT: Frat parties. Hurrah. BAILEY: I’m looking forward to toga parties. THEO: I bet you are. SCARLETT: Toga parties are scary though. THEO: Yes they are. SCARLETT: Well like, I remember one time I was staying in these student halls, and I wasn’t actually a student, and I’m nearly knocked over by all these guys running down a corridor screaming, like, with toga bedsheets on. They like, didn’t even see me. They just ran over the top of me. I was like, pressed up against the wall going oh my God, oh my God. I’m gonna die. [Laughter] BAILEY: Attacked by the killer frat boys. THEO: That’s a very disturbing experience. SCARLETT: I was like, 15. It was scary. THEO: Wow. BAILEY: That’s another thing that I want to bring up- THEO: That, you know that begs the question: if you were 15, what were you doing in dorms? BAILEY: Yeah! SCARLETT: Because eh, British dorms hire in the summer. They hire them out, the empty ones out to people. THEO: Oh, okay. SCARLETT: And I was there for an academic purpose. I was- THEO: A little bit of English trivia there. Excellent. SCARLETT: I was in a theatre production just down the road so it was the cheapest place to stay. BAILEY: That’s cool. THEO: Excellent. Very cool. I think that’s all the uh, casting information we have now. BAILEY: I think so. THEO: I believe I got everything out. SCARLETT: Do you think we could bag ourselves a few small roles? THEO: I think I’m waiting for them to offer me a regular part. I think I’m gonna hold out until I get the front billing. You know. BAILEY: What are you gonna be? SCARLETT: You’re such a diva, Theo. THEO: I really am. Uh, what am I gonna do? That’s a good question. Um. Of course I expect complete artistic control over my character. But um, other than that, I don’t know. Maybe I’ll just be the wise sort of uh, standoffish… BAILEY: The person who just stands there and looks smart and nods. THEO: That’s right. BAILEY: Yeah. THEO: That’s right. I like that. SCARLETT: You know, Logan and Wallace both have, their names both come from the same origin as mine. So I could be related to one of them. THEO: It’s true. It’s true. THEO: And uh, I don’t know what to say. [BAILEY laughter] BAILEY: I don’t either. THEO: I, I have a feeling that uh- SCARLETT: I don’t know if that’s true at all. I think that’s LYING! But, you know. THEO: I think you meant- I think you may be related to both of them. SCARLETT: That would be strange. No. I- I think I’d be like, you know, someone’s little sister from far, far away. Oh, or like, I don’t know, an exchange student at Hearst. THEO: An exchange student. The mysterious Scottish stranger. [Bad accent] [Laughter] SCARLETT: [Laughing] That was the worst accent I’ve ever heard. THEO: It was supposed to be! It was supposed to be horrible. Thanks. BAILEY: Scarlett, did you by any chance hear our horrible um, British accents last week? SCARLETT: Yeah. THEO: Awesome. SCARLETT: But British accents are like English accents. They’re fine. I’m not English. I’m Scottish. Let’s not mix it up. THEO: That’s true. [Cameron will abbreviate “That’s true” as “TT” for the rest of this transcript.] THEO: All right. Well, I think that’s all we’ve got. And I think the next thing that you will hear from us is the uh, Sandy. It’s actually Sandy, when she’ll be calling us later and uh, letting us in on all the scoops of uh, Comic Con. SCARLETT: Woo! THEO: So we’re gonna take a little break and when we come back, we will hopefully with any luck, and uh, prayers to the technical Gods, and the Internet Gods, and the lesser deities of cell phones, that uh, that this works. And we’ll be able to bring you a nice, a great interview. Fresh from Comic Con. She’s actually there as we’re speaking, right now. So she’s gonna call us. SCARLETT: And we’re jealous. THEO: We are so jealous and that’s why we’re so happy that she’s not around. Because if not we’d be very bitter right now. She’d be like, rubbing it in our faces like, oh my God, when I was there, I saw everyone. And like, Logan took me out for a drink, and then we made out, blah, blah, blah. So uh. That’s exactly what she’d sound like. So. [Laughter] SCARLETT: If that’s what’s actually happened… ‘cause I’m gonna be like, really shocked. THEO: I would be very shocked. SCARLETT: You know, since he’s a fictional character and all. That would be pretty impressive. [BAILEY cackling in background] THEO: I would be impressed. But I think if anyone can do it, Sandy can pull it off. So. SCARLETT: TT. THEO: Anyway. So we’ll be back in a minute. [Another insane scratch sound. Why no song?] BAILEY: Welcome back, Pirates. Unfortunately, Theo had a bit of a power outage and it’s way past Scarlett’s bedtime. But here with me now, I have Sandy who is calling live from Comic Con. Hey, Sandy! [SANDY laughter] SANDY: Hey! BAILEY: Are you having a good time? SANDY: I’m having a blast! Um. It’s so crazy here! I had never been to Comic Con before. This is my first time. And it’s total insanity here. People in costumes everywhere, um, the line for people who had tickets was still an hour this morning. It’s insane. It’s the most- and the fire marshall came and they had to stop selling tickets. It’s out of control. BAILEY: Oh my God! Well it’s- I can hear in the background it sounds like a good time though. SANDY: Yeah. I mean, you can hear like, there’s just stuff going on everywhere and there are people everywhere, and I’m sure you can hear them all talking. I mean there’s- it takes fifteen minutes to cross the street just because of the large crowd of people. BAILEY: Oh my God. SANDY: It’s pretty crazy. Yeah. BAILEY: Okay. Well of course, I want to know, and I’m sure everybody else wants to know about the interviews. ‘Cause um, you got to speak to Jason, and uh, Francis, and Michael, and Ryan, which must have been very exciting. SANDY: Yeah. It was. Actually um, Francis got stuck in traffic, um, so he didn’t make the interviews. He came in actually late to the panel as well. Um. I don’t know how he did that ‘cause he’s been in San Diego filming Veronica Mars for the past three years. But um, yeah he got- I guess he just got held up. Traffic here is a nightmare so it’s understandable. It’s totally understandable. He didn’t um, he didn’t get to make the interviews but I did get to talk to um, Jason Dohring, and Michael Muhney, and Ryan Hansen about the past two seasons, and the upcoming seasons, and it was really, really fantastic. BAILEY: Oh, I’m sure. Were they having a good time? Did they look like they were having a good time? SANDY: They looked like they were having a blast and they looked like they really love each other. Um. They were, you know, joking around and teasing one another, and jumping on the backs of each other’s chairs. I mean you could just tell that there is a lot of affection between the people who make that show, which is great ‘cause I think it translates on screen to genuine chemistry, you know? BAILEY: Definitely. Definitely. SANDY: Um. And Ryan had the sweetest things to say about, about Kyle Gallner. We talked about the fact that Kyle had been on the show, and he’s so bummed that, you know, not only that Beaver’s a killer, but that Beaver being the killer means that Kyle isn’t on the show anymore. BAILEY: Yeah. SANDY: And he, you could just tell he was really heartbroken about that. BAILEY: Aw. SANDY: Yeah. It was really sad! I was like, aw, I wanna give you a hug. [BAILEY laughter] SANDY: Please. Because I have to say, you know, Ryan Hansen is wicked hot in person. I’m just gonna put that out there. [The world laughs] SANDY: He’s hot in the show, but it’s like covered in the mask of, of Dick Casablancas. BAILEY: Right. SANDY: And when you just have Ryan Hansen, you’re like, overwhelmed with, with the just pure hotness without the- BAILEY: Dick-ness. SANDY: -behavior. Yeah! [Ah, Sandy. The consummate professional.] BAILEY: Well I- he’s got like a megawatt smile. I can only imagine what it would be like in person. SANDY: Oh yeah. He was an absolute doll. Loved him. BAILEY: Yeah. Well I am not gonna ask, um, about the responses you got, because that’s actually gonna be up on our website soon, but I’d like to know- I wanna know all about the panel discussion. SANDY: The panel session was uh, was really informative. They talked- I have to say, to start off with, they showed a promo for um, the show. It’s not an official promo, it’s sort of a sneak-peak promo- BAILEY: Right. SANDY: -that is the same promo that they showed to the CW execs when they were trying to convince them to pick up Veronica Mars season three. And if we could raise money for those people to be doing the promos for Veronica Mars, there’s no way nobody would watch the show. It was such an amazing clip and reel, and it just highlighted the best aspects of the show. So I don’t understand- the CW has no excuse now for not making the best promos on television, because there’s certainly the material there for it. BAILEY: Yeah. They’ve definitely got a lot to live up to then. SANDY: Yes. Oh, it was amazing. BAILEY: That sounds great, and that’s only the beginning. SANDY: Exactly. Exactly. And um, you know, there were a lot of questions um, that were answered by the TCA panel. And I’m gonna warn- I’m gonna give a little warning here. Well first of all, I’m gonna give information that doesn’t contain spoilers. BAILEY: Right. SANDY: So that people who are spoilerphobic can avoid them. Some of the highlights of the panel which did not include promos were Weevil uh, Francis showing up about halfway through wearing a bright orange T-shirt that said, “Fugitive.” [BAILEY laughter. Aw. Cameron laughs too.] SANDY: Which at least shows he has a sense of humor about uh, Weevil’s predicament, situation. BAILEY: Yes. [Cameron reminds Sandy that this is the reason why Francis was so late. He was coming all the way from behind bars. Badump-bump!] SANDY: Somebody who lived at Kristen Bell’s old apartment here in uh, or in L.A., got a package delivered that was meant for Kristen. So they brought it to the panel and it’s for her. I’m not joking. It’s an actual, genuine package that was sent to Kristen from her agent, to an address she hasn’t lived at in two years. BAILEY: Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. SANDY: Kinda crazy. Yeah. BAILEY: It is. SANDY: Um. One of the things that I’ve learned, but I don’t think it’s too much of a spoiler, um, is that there is gonna be um, there are gonna be a lot fewer flashbacks in season three. BAILEY: Right. SANDY: Um. They are gonna pick up right where season two left off. BAILEY: Oh that’s good though. That’s good. SANDY: Yeah. Yeah. No. That’s terrific. Like, we’re not gonna be starting- they assured me that we’re gonna be starting, this is actually from the interviews, not from the panel. But um, I thought it was important enough to put here that, you know, they’re gonna be starting from, from where we left off, which is really great. BAILEY: Yeah, that’s really great. Because last year we kind of missed the whole summer and a lot of stuff happened. SANDY: Yeah. Exactly. And, you know, one of the points that Jason made was that, you know, a lot of the flashbacks look really good on paper but they don’t translate as well on screen. So. BAILEY: Right. SANDY: They are going to use less of the flashbacks in the way that they used them in season two. So I think that that’s probably beneficial. BAILEY: Definitely. SANDY: Um. Rob uh, was asked about his response to the fan reaction, because at the TCA panels he said that he sort of changed the way he wrote Jackie based on fan response. And he said that he still is going to- as much as he’s going to monitor his fan response, he’s gonna do his best to just keep sort of one eye on, on what the fans had to say. BAILEY: Right. SANDY: Because he still does think it’s important to use that as sort of a measuring stick um, with regards to how quickly the mysteries are getting solved and things like that. BAILEY: Right. SANDY: And I think um, that is… oh. Another bit that I don’t think is really spoiler-ish is apparently the network really um, has been pushing for the show to work in a direction where it is a good companion piece to Gilmore Girls. BAILEY: Uh huh. [Cameron likes Gilmore Girls. But… she already has a Gilmore Girls. Got it, network?] SANDY: Which didn’t make the cast or the studio really excited, and the studio has thankfully defended the show, and the network hasn’t axed any of their ideas. So. It’s still gonna be Veronica Mars. It’s still gonna be like Veronica Mars, and they’re not gonna let the lead-in influence the writing of the show. BAILEY: Thank God, because you had me worried there for a minute with that. SANDY: I know. Well, when he started in I think the whole crowd was like, “Boo.” ‘Cause everybody loves Gilmore Girls, but we have Gilmore Girls, you know? [Cameron asks Sandy to Back Away From My Brain.] BAILEY: Exactly. SANDY: And Francis’ comment was, “Where are you gonna see a guy like me on Gilmore Girls?” [BAILEY laughs in a ridiculous “huh huh” way. Go listen.] SANDY: And I think that’s the point. BAILEY: Well yeah. Veronica has fans that like it because of what it is. We don’t wanna change it into something else. They would lose fans. SANDY: Yeah. Exactly. Um. And the last thing I have that’s really not spoiler-ish is Rob just talked a little bit about what sort of ratings are expected, and he said that he- that they don’t really know – because it’s a new network – what sort of numbers. They’re not looking for particular numbers. It’s really all about lead-in retention. So. BAILEY: Right. Right. SANDY: If we retain a good percentage. I think we all knew, but it just confirms the fact that even the people in the suits don’t know what kind of rough numbers should be expected. BAILEY: Right. There’s nothing to compare it to because it’s a baby network. SANDY: Right. BAILEY: Yeah. SANDY: Right. So everything else I have is spoilers. So I can give ‘em, but I would advise uh- and they’re mild spoilers. They’re, they’re some uh, mystery of the week information, um, some casting information. Things like that. So if that kind of thing is, is not your cup of tea, you wanna stay totally blind; I would advise you Pirates to tune out. BAILEY: Okay. Well I can- SANDY: At this point. BAILEY: -I’ll go ahead and edit in right here telling you guys where to, where you can come back in like I did earlier with the spoilers. So you won’t have to miss anything else. You’ll just miss this stuff. SANDY: All right. Perfect. Okay. BAILEY: Okay. Let’s go. I’m ready. BAILEYVO: To skip the spoilers that Sandy’s gonna be talking about regarding the panel discussion at Comic Con, please skip forward to 44:29. SANDY: All right. So I think uh, we all heard at the TCA panels that Michael Cera is not available for the first section of episodes because he booked a movie. BAILEY: Right. SANDY: But just Friday, Rob confirmed that Alia Shawkat will be on episode four of Veronica Mars this season. BAILEY: Ooh! That’s awesome! That’s good news! SANDY: So we will see her again. Yeah. BAILEY: That’s great. SANDY: They’re not gonna stop trying to get Michael Cera but for right now he’s booked in a movie. BAILEY: Right. SANDY: Um. We will see Charisma Carpenter in episode one. BAILEY: Ooh! I was just asking about that earlier. SANDY: Yeah I- well I think that we have to pick up with the briefcase, you know? BAILEY: Right. Yeah. SANDY: So. Okay. Um. The next thing I have is… oh, this is not a spoiler, but Jason didn’t do any projects over the hiatus. He just went back and did acting classes three days a week. That’s what he did during his uh, vacation. He doesn’t have any new projects that are out right now but he has a lot of things in development. BAILEY: Right. SANDY: Keep that in mind. BAILEY: Okay. SANDY: There are I think four new series regulars. We’ve already heard about most of these. Tina Majorino, Michael Muhney, are both being brought in as regulars. BAILEY: Right. SANDY: Um. Piz, who is Wallace’s roommate um, and a basketball player. He’s being played by Chris Lowell from Live As We Know It. BAILEY: Oh wow. SANDY: Yeah. So. That’s who’s going to be playing that role, and the role of Parker who is uh, Mac’s roommate, is being played- and I don’t have her name, but it’s the girl who was the love interest of um, in Dodgeball of- I’m totally blanking on his name now. BAILEY: Ben Stiller’s wife? SANDY: What? BAILEY: Ben Stiller’s wife? SANDY: No no no no. Um. Uh. The guy who’s in that, why am I blanking on his name? He was in Galaxy Quest… BAILEY: Oh okay. I know what you’re talking about. The cheer- in the movie it was the cheerleader girl. SANDY: The young guy, the guy- the cheerleader. The girl who’s the cheerleader. BAILEY: Right. Right. I don’t know why I was thinking Ben- SANDY: That girl. She’s gonna be playing- I can’t believe I’m blanking on people’s names, but there you go. Um. In episode two, Veronica is going undercover through sorority rush. BAILEY: Oh no. That’ll be great. SANDY: Yeah. So. That is gonna be a really exciting episode and Kristen is particularly really excited about it, because she felt um, often times Veronica is put in sort of a vulnerable position um, by the actions of other people that sort of force her into that position. And this time she’s going to sort of put herself in, in that vulnerable position. BAILEY: Right. SANDY: So she’s really excited about getting the chance to do that. BAILEY: Yeah. That’s awesome. SANDY: That’s all I have from the panel. Everything else is from the interviews, and they’re not too spoilery once they’re- like I said again, I mean basically there’s some information about where characters are and things like that. But definitely check those out. It’s, you know, if you just want more information about what these guys are like and how they interact with each other, I think that the interviews will be really fun and interesting for you all to read. BAILEY: Right. I can’t wait. SANDY: They’ll be up on our site. BAILEY: I can’t wait to read them. SANDY: I’m excited about sharing them. I wish I could have had it on video so that you guys could all share in the experience entirely, so. BAILEY: Yeah. SANDY: Anyway, that’s it. That’s all I have. BAILEY: It sounds like you had such a great time, and it sounds like it was a really good experience. SANDY: It was. It was a blast. We had a great time. BAILEY: That’s so great. Well. Um. Thank you for sharing with us, and thank you for letting us kind of live vicariously through you. SANDY: No problem. BAILEY: And I suppose we’ll finally get you back here in two weeks. SANDY: Yes! I will be back for the next round and I hope that everybody didn’t miss me too much. BAILEY: Oh, we did. SANDY: I’m sure you guys held down the fort appropriately. BAILEY: We did a pretty good job I think but we still missed you. [SANDY laughter. Car honks.] BAILEY: We devoted at least half the time to talking about you. SANDY: Oh, well I hope that um, that nothing was- nothing mean was said, and that Scarlett didn’t do any impressions, and… um. I hope my reputation hasn’t been damaged. BAILEY: We were very complimentary. You’d be proud. SANDY: Excellent. All right. BAILEY: I hope you keep enjoying yourself and get back to us in one piece. SANDY: Thank you. Yes. BAILEY: Bye. SANDY: All right. Bye! [MUSICAL BREAK! Crank it Out- Ari Shine] BAILEY: All right, Pirates. That’s it for this week’s podcast. As you can see, it was a good one because there’s only one of us left standing. I hope you enjoyed all the information that Sandy brought us from Comic Con. I know I certainly did. And I can’t wait until the interviews are up. They should be up on the website early this week, so look out for those, and I hope you all have a wonderful week. We’ll see next time. SCARLETT: Hey, Pirates. This is Scarlett with your inspirational quote of the week. Jealousy is all the fun you think they had. – Erica Jong SCARLETT: We’ll see you next time, Pirates. Bye!
