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.

Is the dog named Jeffrey?
Damn, I'm missing the reference.
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative 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.

"Either it's murder, or this library has a very strict overdue policy."
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.

Skipping to the end to say that I get a toaster! Now, I know that this is far behind many others here, but I think it's pretty damn good considering that the show really just started and I've been on vacation for two out of three episodes. Whoo me! I got more Firefly toasters too (at least one went straight to the bookstore to buy the DVDs), as I brought Firefly and Wonderfalls with me. I am such a Minearverse pimp.

Perhaps eating Lucky Charms in her pretty pink kitchen with a great big drooly English Mastiff underfoot?
I think this would make me root for the 900 lb. man to eat her.
I actually took Rebeccas's statements to Simon at the end of the premiere to suggest she might not have much of a life apart from her job. Seeing her decide to build one might be as intriguing as a reveal of something that's already there.
