I'm hoping for a mislead.
On the subject of the alternative ending, I don't know what "stunts" would work to draw more numbers. The non-stop pimping (you know who you are) by members of this board caused me to view the entire first season through episode 5 of this season in marathon to catch up. Now I am on board.
I had watched part of one episode live the first season (the karaoke one) and it didn't appeal. Assurances here that I had to give it another look won me over.
If I had watched at the beginning of the first season I wouldn't have stayed around because I personally found the drugged party rape storyline tough to handle. They resolved it to my satisfaction in the end, but I probably wouldn't have stayed around that long. Again, only word or mouth, or fingertips, forced me to give the season a full viewing.
I'm grateful because I am big with the love now. This recalls a frustration I had with
Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
I didn't start watching the show until S4 and had to do the big catch up in marathon viewing. The first reason I hadn't tuned in was the show title, the second was the movie, the third was the perception that it was a teen show. It was only good fortune that I caught one of the wonderful episodes without knowing what I was watching. This jewel of a show didn’t get my attention because of my perception of what kind of a show it was. This would have been the result of network promotion. It's UPN’s responsibility to promote the show in whatever fashion is necessary to draw people who may enjoy the show. This includes teens as well as people of all ages that enjoy well constructed television. I hope they find an effective way to do this because not all potential viewers have quality invisible friends to make them watch.
Both Buffy and VM were a result of invisible friends for me, though Buffy was from invisible friends become visible and I didn't get into it until season 6. The promotion for Buffy is what turned me off of the show. The creepy announcer guy they had in the initial promos made me think it was going to be a really bad horror show, and I hate horror even when it's good.
VM I'd never heard of until people here started raving about it.
Laura, i've learned to take the UPN opening scene clips with a grain of salt because of how much chopping they do.
Cindy, will reply when i can. our system is being tempermental this morning and making my life a living hell.

Really? Although they are edited somewhat, I've never found the editing to change them into something different from what aired the next week. I've never felt misled.
The surprising part was the amount of "content" in the preview. Guess I'll just have to watch next week to find out how it flows. I'd try and say I won't watch the promos in the future, but I can't even kid myself about that.
Did everyone know about this?

Yep, and as I loved the Alamo when I saw "Slam" and "Slam Nation" there (I was in Texas for a poetry festival) I'm majorly jealous of anyone who can go!

maybe not mislead, but it's obvious to me when watching that the scenes don't flow as they will in the actual aired episode.

yep. we'd been trying to keep it quiet to keep out the riff raff, but then Herc posted about it today. getting tickets is going to be...interesting.

Well, Laura was asking if they were misleading and you said to take them with a grain of salt. Yeah, the UPN website scene is edited but... who cares so long as they're not misleading?
Hey All. Rarely get to post here, 'cuz I'm always watching on tape delay, but am caught up now. Nothing really to add about this week's ep, it's all been said, and very articulately, by others.
Out of curiousity - Did we ever find out what Duncan gave Veronica for her B-day? She seemed so 'whelmed at the time, that I can't believe I would forget if we were told - but I got nothin'. Anybody?
