Whedon to guest star on Veronica Mars

Did you see what Joss Whedon posted on Whedonesque.com about Veronica Mars?

I did. Several people sent me the link. His extraordinarily generous comments really made my week. I sent him a thank you e-mail, and he sent me back a note that said that, in watching Veronica Mars, he’s come to understand, better, the fervor of Buffy fans.

The things he complimented about our show -- the plotting, the dialogue, the relationships, the acting – are all elements I’ve admired in Buffy. Joss’ comments actually meant so much to me that I e-mailed my parents the link though I’m quite sure they don’t know who he is.

I’ve also put Season 2 of Buffy in my Netflix queue. I think I never let myself get fully-hooked by Buffy for the same reason that I feel a lot of people don’t watch Veronica. By the time the enthusiastic word-of-mouth reached me, I felt like I’d already missed the bus. I was afraid of being so far behind in the mythology that I couldn’t follow the ongoing storylines, though I would occasionally see episodes and admire the snappiness, the pacing, the angst.

For those of you who didn’t see Joss’ post, here’s the link:

And then – you heard it here first – Joss has agreed to guest star on the show. We’re firming up plans to have him play a testy, rental car manager in episode six.

Just acting right? Not writting, no directing, no making anyone sleep with a teen, not putting anyone into a coma right?...........
JUST ACTING, RIGHT?????????????????

No writing Joss said this:

Question: So in your last AA column, you said you were going to try to talk to Joss Whedon about writing an episode of Veronica Mars? Did you get in touch somehow? What say he? — Michael

Ausiello: Yes, and here's the response he gave me via e-mail: "I think they are doing fine without me." Well, let's face it, they are.

Maybe he's selling a rental to Kendall.

And maybe she says, "Kiss my feet and maybe we'll talk terms," and he does.

I hate the way everyone's an ass kisser.

Gag. And it's not just his comments about Joss, it's all of this you're so wonderful/brilliant/god like that they all heap on each other.

I'd never make it Hollywood.

Maybe she hits him with the car (passing over him several times) and that's the big crime of the season...... Sorry I'm drooling at that image

Heh. Maybe they'll go for comedy and go all Man With the Screaming Brain and just have Kendall knocking off every guy she runs into that won't marry her.

I read about this in the Houston Chronicle. They also have Kevin Smith of Clerks fame planning to do a guest spot. The article said that he is going to be playing a convenience store clerk. Apparently both Whedon and Smith are huge fans of the show.
