lisah, it's really not bad and the weird pairings don't last the whole season. We just finished with episodes 15 & 16. The next disc is episode 17 & 18.
There maybe is a tiny bit of Zhaan stuff, but everything else is understandable.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

Even if there's no big arc, are they so random there's no character development or anything?
In the first half of the season, not really. As it goes on, more and more events will start to matter later, but the first 8 or so eps are more or less complete standalones.

Punishingly Intricate
Thanks for all the information! I tried to look for the Starburst ones on Amazon and the first season is broken up into 3 "collections" that are $20 each. Is there someplace better to look?
I'm so remedial!
(Also, very tired today because I got the best super secret birthday surprise last night--my friends took me to see Dolly Parton. I didn't know that's where we were going until we were inside the concert hall. I cried and laughed A LOT. She is a goddess.)

deepdiscountdvd.com often has better prices than Amazon,but I don't know if they have the Starburst editions.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I just read a book with a character named Jack Schitt. h He was a villain.
The Eyre Affair? Good stuff.
In the first half of the season, not really. As it goes on, more and more events will start to matter later, but the first 8 or so eps are more or less complete standalones.
I originally started with the "Best Of" disks, which were all I could get at Blockbuster. And there were a few "Who's the gray chick?" and "What's the deal about Zhaan?" moments, but for the most part very followable (and crack-like, says the girl who has all but one of the $100-plus sets).

There are also more Lily pictures after the hair pictures.
Please note, hair unstyled and slightly damp, but you can see the basics of the cut at least.
