Hey. New board.

She should feed the dog human flesh.

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

She should feed the dog human flesh.

Is the dog named Jeffrey?

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.

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.

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.

Friends don't let friends dismiss Veronica Mars unjustly.

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I just started watching VM because of the reruns, and my boyfriend and I are pretty interested. The pilot was particularly good.

Dahmer would be my guess.

Whee!

Oh, oh, okay. I thought there was actually a flesh-eating dog named Jeffrey somewhere in fiction.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You're thinking of Clifford.

So well done, VM fans. Clearly not a show best watched by catching one ep in the middle of the season.

definitely. this is also what happened with me and Farscape. i saw an episode in the second or third season and it just made no sense without knowing all the history. VM is definitely a character/arc driven show and you need to know both. delving in mid-season is not the best way to go at all.

so need to get to work, but this is much more fun.
