Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I've read that the alternative ending has no bearing on the plot lines. It was just a publicity stunt. Between this and the Someone! Will! Die! (oh, that old trick...)promo, I'm getting teed off at UPN.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Then...why are we voting? Cuz it's fun? Ok. Sure. I...stupid network.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

'Tis a truth universally acknowledged that the UPN promo department is run by a pack of monkeys on crack.

My guess is that the death is going to be a relatively minor character. My kitten's on Meg, since the alterna-ending showed her flatlining anyway.

ETA: Er, right. I guess we're WFing the alterna ending still? Do we need to?

All is well that ends in pizza.

So Col. Mustard and his candlestick can go pack, eh?

there is something to be said for the lyric and imperial attitude / believe that everything is for you until you discover that you are for it

In the alternate ending, didn't Meg's mother say "We'll see you soon" or something like that before leaving? I took that to mean that she was tying up the loose end before going home to do the whole cult-murder-suicide thing with the rest of the family.

Do I need to be white-fonting this? (eta, looks like not)

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

OK, we need a bullshit concensus in-thread re. spoiler-fonting the alternative ending. I say we don't, because it's a one-time ratings gimmick and in-thread WF-ing annoys me, but I am not wedded to my position or anything.

Because books.

I'll agree that everyone's probably (?) had a chance to see the alternate ending by now, and we could stop white fonting. Just my two cents, of course.

I'm still aheming the episode, myself, so I shouldn't be here anyway...

Is this official or rumor? Cause if the former, that hoovers mightily.

Ellen, can I send you tapes of Slings and Arrows? I need a good home for them in Somerville for an airing there. It's the Canadian miniseries starring Paul Gross. It's great.

David! That sounds so awesome! Connie/Theo's probably your woman for this, since anything sent to my apartment will probably join my passport, favorite tank top, and credit card on whatever thrilling adventure they are off having without me.

Maybe it's not Meg's first pregnancy, and that's why she's showing so much. I'm trying to remember Meg-details from the purity test episode.

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

You know why I think the alt ending was worth it? That cut to the shot with the pillow on Meg's face. Cree.pee.
