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.

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.

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.

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!

Dahmer would be my guess.

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

You're thinking of Clifford.

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.

I think the last five or so of VM were bad entry points but beyond that, I'm not sure I agree. The hugely-uneven-in-quality CotW took up far too much screen time for me to say that you can't dip your toes into it here and there and not get it. It's possible I don't see it since I saw everything, but even after the middle of the season very few of the episodes felt to me that it relied on old knowledge.

But it is a nice show -- the Wallace/Veronica-dynamic was really good -- only id didn't have that thing that makes me want to watch and re-watch whenever.

(Probably end up buying the DVD, but then again, I'm a TV-on-DVD-junkie.)

Farscape season three might be the evilest thing ever done in regards to new viewers, especially later in after a couple a episodes. I admire their guts for doing it.
