As I anxiously wait through the wasteland that is Winter Hiatus for iZombie’s apocalyptic return, I gotta ask you, Rob Thomas, where is the LoVe? Why must all shows go so dystopian? Why must they all go so dark? We were having so much fun dancing with the undead in season one (I will resist bringing up Lowell).
With your previous gift to the binge-watching universe, Veronica Mars, we got to see the story of Logan and Vernica, AKA, LoVe, unfold. He was the smoldery, yet troubled straight shooter, she was the pixie who brought the magic and an untamable curiosity. Together, they solved mysteries, crimes, and misdemeanors. Oh, the smolder of it all! We spent three seasons in sunny, sometimes dark, Neptune, California, watching Logan and Veronica banter, finish each other’s sentences, and follow the latest clue. At the end of season three, after years of ups and downs, with eyes locked, on the verge epicness, everything abruptly ended. No goodbyes, no banter– no season four. What is a fangirl to do? I’m still recovering from this, Rob Thomas. Sure Veronica is a mashmellow sprite, who dusted herself off, and moved on to create even greater epic magic as Anna in Frozen, but I still can’t help but hold LoVe close to my heart. That is the kind of fandom you created.
Rob Thomas, all I'm saying is this–temper the darkness, and bring some of that epicness to iZombie. I realize I’m asking for a zombie genre to go non-dystopian, but if anyone can do it, it’s you. This fangirl is missing a little LoVe in her life.
If you need a little LoVe in your life, you can watch all three seasons of Veronica Mars here.
