A whole damn bunch
Must attempt to watch UPN scene.
I'd forgotten about Meg's crush in Spain. I had leaped to the conclusion that the Spanish crush was, well Spanish. Suppose, it was instead, a Seattleite visiting Spain?
so WTF was the purpose of the alternate scene? I mean damn.
The scene from next week is wild. I think every damn question is answered.
Plus we find out her parents are psychotic freaks, which wasn't even hinted at previously.
I'm so glad someone else got to that bit before me.
Also, there's been a lot of assumptions about Meg, and frankly, we only saw her in, what? Three or four episodes last season?
I've known more than a couple seemingly nice and normal people who have all KINDS of damage going on.
Hell, dated a couple.
Haha, in next week's opening scene, Veronica's delivery of "More along the lines of... bad." felt really, really Buffy to me.

According to Rob's chat today, Joel Silver asked him to film one for this ratings stunt. Rob deliberately made it as ridiculously out of continuity as possible. There was never any intention of making it an actual storyline, no worries.

This is nice to know. Also, I'm impressed that at least a seed was planted as to Meg's crazy family life. It seems a pretty small, mustard-sized seed to me, but still, a seed. Like I said upthread, I've been sufficiently impressed with RT to date to have faith it will work out well in the end (not well-happy, but well-done).
I didn't like the idea of an alternative ending. It not only breaks the fourth wall, it drags it out the back, kicks it the head and steals it wallet. I like my fiction to be nicely self contained.
Oh and no way is Meg a bitch. She's all pretty and stuff.
I've watched the opening scene and have a question since I have only watched one previously. Do they generally answer so much or do they mislead and take out of context. Not that I can see where it can be anything but straightforward. Huh.
The alternate ending as a fun stunt doesn't bother me. If it was my show to play with I would enjoy doing the same thing.
