attitude character defensive philosophy pleased within
We're most pleased with it when it's revelatory character stuff, when we're getting her attitude and philosophy out of that voice-over. I'll even have her being deflecting and defensive within first-person narration. She's a prickly girl.

As I start to think about what I want to do next, there are eight or nine networks I would be thrilled to work with. I remember developing at FX and the executives there telling me, 'We don't want to do shows that 20 million people kind of like; we want to do the show that 2 million people really like.'

The world domination plan goal is that I would love Veronica Mars to become a brand like Sherlock Holmes is a brand, like Nancy Drew, in a way, is a brand. When people start listing who are the great fictional detectives, I want Veronica Mars to make that list. That would be the dream scenario.
