Veronica Mars, Livejournal Meme

Watched Veronica Mars tonight - the show is definitely growing on me and has potential. Especially when it shifts between Veronica's investigations and her Dads. (I admit, I'm more interested in the adult characters inhabiting this universe, not least because the actors are better and more fascinating than
the younger ones. Have been a Kyle Secor fan since Homicide Life on The Streets (even though haven't seen him tackle as good a role since Bayliss yet, Jack Kane is at least interesting)and enjoy Enrico from Just Shoot Me as Veronica's dad. Plus the real life married team of Lisa Rinni/Harry Hamlin is fun.) The other plus to tonight's episode was the focus on Weevil/Logan again.
(I adore these two - it's like seeing the Spike character split in two.) Poker.
And, the arc, which I find more interesting then the somewhat predictable mysteries of the week. The best thing about tonight's Veronica Mars was its willingness to go to the dark place, to be harsh. I like Lost for the same reason. Very few network shows seem willing to go there anymore. These two do.

Does VM have a future? After visiting Kidbro this weekend, yep, I think so.
Kidbro likes four shows: Lost, Desperate Housewives, Americas Top Model, and Veronica Mars. Last year - his favorite show was the OC. The kid is a trendspotter.

Here's a meme, or rather a few questions I'd like to pose to whoever happens to read this. I'll call the livejournal response meme for lack of a better title. These questions may be unanswerable. Not sure. And they are for everyone who reads livejournal posts, not just those of us who happen to have a livejournal.

1. What draws your attention to a livejournal post? (Be it on your friends list, someone elses, or just scrolling through.)

2. What makes you respond to a livejournal post? Why do you respond to some posts and not others?

3. Do you respond to posts based on the number of comments listed? Is your attention more drawn to a post that has a lot of comments? Or do you, as a rule, not respond to a post with more than 20 comments? Do heavily read posts turn you on or off?

4. What causes you to read one person's livejournal over another's? Commonality of interest? You've met the person? You are close friends? Or
do you just love their writing?

5. Why do you read livejournal? If you read it, do you respond to posts on it?
Why or why not? (Note I said read - not keep one.)

6. What turns you off of a post? What would make you stop reading someone's journal?

7. Are you ever afraid to respond to certain journals - not because of the post or the original writer, but because of the comments and you fear the
friends of that writer?

8. How much validity do you give posts on livejournal? (ie. Do you trust
what you've read?)

9. If there was one thing you could change about posting on livejournal or reading what would it be? (Note this is for everyone, not just those who have a livejournal - what would you change about the journals you've read? (This is not a question about what would you change about the service itself.)

10. What are your pet peeves about reading livejournal? What are the things you love most about reading it?


Per usual with my memes - feel free to pick the questions you feel like answering and post in your own journals or respond here. Assuming you want to answer any.
