Strawberry disappointment.

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.

Our wings are not tired.

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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

It does bother me. Slap it on a DVD. I hate ratings stunts anyway. Where's the evidence that alternate endings bring in viewers anyway?

Do I really give a shit which one wins? Will I really watch next week to find out if I already weren't a viewer?

What is even happening?

I look at it this way. The show lived on the bubble last year. I'm not sure whether it is making the ratings gains it oughts to be making to guarantee a third season.

If any advertiser runs any [whatever] to pimp the show, I'm going to show up, and play their game, because Nielsen doesn't know I exist.

My understanding about the alt ending (and I know I might be wrong) is that it was an ending they considered for the episode. I can't remember where I got that impression. Did anyone else hear anything similar, or does anyone else know the whole scoop?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I would much rather have some additional guest stars (have fucking Jesse McCartney or whatever his name is show up) than this.

Strawberry disappointment.

Apparently RT said it wasn't his idea and they just made the most outrageous ending they could think of, with no thought of it ever being the real ending.

ETA: Or what P-C said a few posts back.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Hmmm. Last week a P-C shoutout. This week a business named "Phoenix."

It's probably just coincidence....

Art Crawl!!!

Hee.

I think that the teaser doesn't necessarily tell you where the episode is going.

Would someone please tell me about the teaser, somewhere appropriate? I know it's not appropriate here, but I can't get the video to load.

Also, tiggy, insent.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Cindy, Veronica gets called for jury duty. Also, some other stuff happens.

Meg's awake, Duncan knew she was pregnant (it was in the letter he found), the parents want her to give up the baby, Meg asks Veronica to forgive her for being a bitca and also asks her to stop anyone who tries to take the baby away.
