Yeah, I didn't watch Veronica Mars when it was airing either. I remember being on a forum for something else and someone was excited, because "VM" was being cancelled and I had no idea what they were talking about. I'm not sure how I ended up watching the first episode, but I have this tendency to buy seasons of shows that I've never seen and just start watching them. I can pretty accurately guess which shows I will like by just reading the back covers. I'm a little less accurate with movies. However it happened, I was watching an episode early in season one and my brother noticed it. I think he had seent he first season already and he just kind of decided he was going to watch it with me. So we watched the first two seasons. Then, we just stopped for some reason. Eventually, a couple years later I think, we finally started season three. I remember that I'd heard a little bit about it, not much, because I really didn't know what would happen in the season, but I did know that the finale drove people nuts, because it was such a cliffhanger type ending. And I remember getting to that episode and I kept waiting for that. We were five minutes from the end and everything seemed like it was tied up pretty tight or if it wasn't, it was inconsequential. I was at a loss as to what they were talking about. . . and then there it was. I was just stunned, because they couldn't leave it that way. They couldn't.

A few months later, I was on the comment section of a kickstarter I had backed and someone posted a comment about the Veronica Mars movie kickstarter and I just stopped. I immediately went to find it. It had been going for less that thirteen hours at that point and it was already funded. I immediately backed it. Got a call from my brother later that day telling me about it.

I watched the movie on my brother's computer as soon as I got a code for a digital download. And then when they finally had a theater close enough to us that I could watch it, I saw it in the theater with my mom. . . who had no idea what was going on, because she'd never seen the show before, but it was pretty awesome watching it at a theater.

It is kind of crazy how many major stars were on Veronica Mars back in the day. And it's fun seeing some of their reactions to the movie being a thing, not many of them, but some of them. And I loved watching the reactions of some of the actors and actresses who were on the show for longer term. My favorites were the video that Ryan Hanson did. Here if you haven't seen it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADKKZA5twgI I especially like when Kristen shows up in the video. The other is Max Greenfield's reaction. Allegedly he offer to pay is own way if he could just be in the movie. He was in the movie and they assured everyone on the kickstarter, they were paying him. It was pretty cool that he was that excited about it, though.
