Mars and Summers, V and B

It occured to me while I was using my break to watch reruns of Veronica Mars, that she reminded me a lot of someone (No, not me... although now that you mention it) She reminds me a lot of another plucky and strong blonde girl cerca 5'2". Buffy and Veronica are very similar in a few ways.
  1. They have one parent - this makes the show more interesting, makes it easier for the teens to have free reign and let's face it, there's one less casting call.
  2. They are both very special. Where Buffy is the chosen one, Veronica has super sleuthing brains. Duh, that's why the Universe, or atleast their show revolves around them. (well, that and the fact that its named after them)
  3. They both have very good senses of humor and get atleast one joke in every scene. Hey- that's what keeps the show light and reminds you this is for teens, not old ladies watching Lifetime or soap operas.
  4. The lovers- The big three, composed of two unstable bad boys Logan/Spike or Duncan/Angel or vise versa... I am not quite sure which is which because somehow I fell in love with Angel/Buffy and will always have a hard time letting go. Duncan and Angel both fathered illegitamate children and had the mother die in childbirth so.... Then there is the nice and normal guy (sorta... give it time) Riley and Piz. Good looking and charming and can be counted on to do normal things. (until they get too insecure)
  5. They have friends-
  • Mac= Willow (the early days)
  • Wallace=Xander (except, thank god Wallace never mopes especially not about Veronica)
  • Madison= Cordelia (except Cordelia isn't really such a Bitch)
  • Keith=Giles (father figures and go-to guys for guidance)
  • Jackie=Anya (dating main characters best friens. reformed bad girl)
  • evil demon mayors (child molesting or more litterally unleashing demons)
I feel bad about not finding a guy to parallel Dick Casablancas, but there are a couple characters in the background that have some of his qualities.
Then, there are the other various people who float in and out as love interests and bad guys.

The shows have season-long arcs with mega bad guys as well as individual episodes where the beloved blonde kicks small time butt and saves the day. They are both outcasts, but not really because they are badass and hot and where at one time cheerleaders.

They live in fake towns in California that have obvious connotations because of the places surrounding them. Neptune is practically New Port beach and Sunnydale is North and in the Valley.

The most important thing they have in common is that I love them and so do other girls my age because they remind us independent butt-kicking girls are awesome and even though they worry about what everyone else thinks, they don't let that fact control their lives. In fact, these tiny sassy blondes can save the day.
