I know the show's creator is a big fan of Whedon...
Actually, I disagree. I was active in Veronica Mars fandom
and during season one Rob Thomas repeatedly stated in interviews
that he had never seen Buffy. He may have checked it out
eventually, but it wasn't an influence on how he conceived of the
show.
The plot of season one is basically lifted from a YA novel that Rob
planned. Which does much to explain why S1 is so tightly plotted
and the rest...isn't.
I could write an entire essay about my bitterness about Season 3,
in particular, but it would involve massive spoilers. I certainly
wouldn't suggest that you buy the season 3 DVDs.
