I think some sort of scene of Rebecca outside the office in the pilot would have gone a long way on the first impressions issue.

Perhaps eating Lucky Charms in her pretty pink kitchen with a great big drooly English Mastiff underfoot?

But would she have had a pretty pink kitchen yet? Maybe looking at apartments, finding one with a pretty pink kitchen, and saying, "Yes, this is perfect. Do you take dogs?"

I didn't have enough suspension of disbelief in my arsenal for the muppets, Tiggy. Farscape was a no-go.

understood. the muppets were so life-like that they never took me out of the story though. it took me a long time to give the show a try. i'm glad i finally buckled under the peer pressure because it's also at the top of my favorite tv shows list.

I can totally see the only thing Rebecca emotes with is a big, honkin' dog.

You're harshing my fantasy.

She should feed the dog human flesh.

Just cause.

She should feed the dog human flesh.

Is it a sign of instability that this made me laugh and laugh?

Is the dog named Jeffrey?

I always wanted a scene where Rebecca was reading some thick file and, at first, you assume it's a case file. But then you get closer and realize it's a profile she's done. Of Web. Because it bothers me less that she lets Web play her if I know that she's letting him play her.

I'm a VM fan as well. It's a very rich show, with well-rounded characters, and in the beginning I was very hyped about it....and then I went to normal levels. I watched every week, enjoyed the humor, the drama, and the mystery, but I never felt a need to really re-watch eps.

(I only did once to refresh myself on clues). It became a nice TV show, with a satisfying first season, but I'm not buying the DVD.

I won't compare VM and the Inside, because they're completely different, but I think I'd choose the Inside to watch over it, if I had to. The Inside gets under my skin. VM is fun while it lasts to me, and then I'm done with it.

Like someone said above, the second season will be the real test. But I don't wanna hang with Veronica like I wanted to hang with Buffy, if you know what I mean. And yes, I even wanna hang with Rebecca.

I wanna help her, I wanna know her. And her Mastiff.

Is the dog named Jeffrey?

Damn, I'm missing the reference.

Ooooh. That would be cool.

I think that scene where Rebecca was all chipper without coffee was a nice in for the audience to see a little of her personality, even if it was still her personality as tied to her work.

To recant my earlier quasi-criticism of VM: I just read the pilot recap on TWoP and now I'd really like to see it. So well done, VM fans. Clearly not a show best watched by catching one ep in the middle of the season.
