Question: With the recent news that Kristen Bell and Rob Thomas discussed a Veronica Mars movie (which would be great, but I'm not holding my breath), my question is do you think this would be a good idea creatively? I mostly agree with your opinion that the Sex and the City and X-Files movies both could have been much better and/or better off not being made. For the record, I am still a huge fan of both shows and couldn't wait to go see both movies when they came out. But those shows were able to tell their story during their TV run and had just about as much closure as one can expect to get from a TV series. But I feel that the fact that Rob Thomas decided to leave things open-ended so it would be "harder" for the network to cancel the show puts VM in a different situation.

Now here's a Heroes newcomer I can get behind — if only because it could offer Veronica Mars fans a very special reunion. Francis Capra, aka the toughie 'Ron (and Mars viewers) loved to hate, is joining the NBC hit this fall in the recurring role of Jesse.Who or what is Jesse? Not much (including his power) is being revealed, of course, but thus far I've found out two things: One, TV's former Weevil is playing evil, and two, his villainous storyline will find him crossing paths with Peter Petrelli.Capra's arrival of course promises to reunite him with Veronica herself, Kristen Bell, who is rumored (though not yet confirmed, drat!) to be reprising her own Heroes role this season.Mars fans, are you with me in welcoming Capra back to cool and culty TV? — Matt Mitovich
