Does anyone think the large Veronica Mars cast was a bad idea? It seems alot of characters are being under used, while others (*coughlogancough*) are being overly and poorly used?
Veronica - 12/12 Logan - 12/12 Keith - 12/12 Dick - 8/12 Wallace - 7/12 Lamb - 6/12 Piz - 6/12 Parker - 6/12 Weevil - 6/12 Mac - 4/12 (!!!)
Remember the days when being in the opening credits ment you'd be in a majority of episodes? Good days right? Well so far only Logan, Keith and Veronica have appeared in all of season 3 (Veronica and Keith have appeared in all the episodes of the series).
With 8 episodes to go it seems that the cast is just being under used. As a recurring character Mac felt like she was a main star, but as a main star she is just simply... not used.
I dunno what to say, it just seems... I understand missing one or two episodes, but a majority of the season? Why have them main if we arn't going to see them?

I totally agree, it's like they have this rule of X regulars per episode, and only use the entire cast when it's a "big" episode. I don't get it, why is so hard to use the entire cast each episode? Buffy and Angel had a very decent amount of regulars and yet they all been in most of the episodes.
Perhaps the problem is money (as always), but still, very irritating.

I don't understand why Piz and Parker are series regulars on their first season on the show while Lamb and Mac have been on the show since season 1 and only became regulars this season.
DL - I just found out Mac will be in the Feb 20th episode "Mars, Bars"

Season 5 of Buffy had 8 series regulars, plus Tara who appeared in a majority of the season and Glory. Its just upsetting that we waited so long to get Mac as a regular and she is being under used, at least as a recurring guest star she seemed to be getting more story. If it is money, well then they should remove Parker and Piz, and Weevil and Lamb as recurring I think would work. Weevil, even last year, seemed more recurring then main. Thats upsetting... Mac should be in episodes, I should have to wait, last year I had to wait for her episodes and now she is a main and the chances of her appearing are still slim! I understand Tina is on two series, but its like they arn't even trying to do anything good with Mac's character.
