Damn you, UPN

Last night was Veronica Mars night. We've been too busy to catch up, so after a couple months of not being able to watch the show we settled down to take in the rest of season 2. I had a nagging fear that we were missing the last episode, because the description of the last show we had on our recorder didn't sound like a season-ender. Sure enough, at the end of that episode we catch the announcement that Veronica was moving to freakin' Tuesday, so we're missing the last three episodes of the season. Now someone tell me this-- why the hell would they shuffle around their line-up with three episodes left in the season? Argh.

So what are our options? Well, we can go old-school and wait for it to come around in reruns. We could get hold of the DVD in late August when it comes out. I say "ugh" to both of those options. The show's not available through iTunes, or I would have gladly paid the six bucks to finish out the season. It doesn't seem to be available through any other legitimate channel, so instead I must go into the welcoming (if slightly ooky) arms of bittorrent.

Now I just have to hope like hell VLC can play these files when they come down...
