When lori and I went to see the Paley screening of Veronica Mars, they softened us up with a bit from the Welcome To The Hellmouth.
God, I felt irrationally possessive and nostalgic. My baby show! With chibiBuffy and the Scoobs! Jesse's not dead! Hell, neither is Cordy!

Xander still had both eyes, and hadn't begun dating demons, and Willow hadn't yet tried to end the world.
And Buffy hadn't even died *once* yet!

And Joyce was still alive, and only had one daughter, and Giles was still wearing tweed.

And Principal Flutie was still uneaten.
And Darla was still young.....
Those were the days, my friends,
Our show would never end
We thought it'd last, forever and a day.
They'd live the lives they'd choose
They'd fight and never lose
We would have watched, forever and a day.
Oh that was so great! It made me want to watch all of Buffy all over again, it did.
Didn't realize other Buffistas would be there, or I might have tried to find you guys. Oh well. Still, it made my sister spend the last 24 hours watching each and every one of the other 15 episodes of VM, so THAT was a good effect.
I finally ordered S5 of Angel and S7 of Buffy. Aside from the obvious reasons I've been not ordering them, I was really putting it off because it's so FINAL. They'll be sitting there on the shelf, and instead of having a feeling of completing a collection I'll be thinking "I can never watch these, because then the shows will end AGAIN forever."
Although occasionally I'll be thinking "I can never watch these because that way I can imagine better episodes to end these shows with."

The 2005 William S. Paley Television Festival, Jon. Next year I think I'm going to take it more seriously and plan ahead for tickets -- these were given me by a friend.
