"Cautiously optimistic" is the way I'm approaching VM too, Angela. I am falling more in love with it weekly, and have, in fact, started trolling for fanfic, which is not a good sign. But I totally agree about Rob Thomas quite clearly respecting his audience. He just seems like a great guy - not as full of himself as Joss (that "what they need" comment STILL grates, because, in fact NO, I didn't need a complete lack of resolution to Buffy/Angel, but thanks Joss!), or as moronic as JK.
In fact, I was on RT's website the other day (http://www.slaverats.com/) and was unsurprised to discover that he wrote the teenybopper movie "Drive Me Crazy." It was one Allie and I enjoyed a few years ago, because it was so much smarter than the usual crap that was aimed at teens. I can totally see seeds of Veronica and Logan in the two main characters of that movie. You should check it out.
