well...i don't think they shot those three minutes deliberately because they thought they might be shown on the web. i just think that RT is going to drag out the whole "who's at the door" thing as long as he can in the first ep. we'll probably get piece by piece via flashbacks.

then again, maybe they did shoot it that way deliberately because they knew it would be on UPN's site. that isn't something new. we were getting three minute clips from last season eps too. some of them were spliced though and not technically the first three minutes of the ep. this could be the case here too.

He said it'll be answered right at the beginning of the episode.

not in the first three minutes(if that is, indeed, the actual first three minutes).

Which they may not be. They've used non-first minutes before.

If it wasn't the first three, it was among the first five. Of course, 5 seconds later she may run into said boyfriend and mystery (possibly) solved.

Yeah, the intro clip for Dentist (I think it was Dentist), though it included many of the scenes as the first five minutes, cut some stuff out to increase the cohesion of the clip (and save some time). I definitely wouldn't past RT to let them release an edited version of the clip to maintain the anxiety or whatever (why do people care about the door so much anyway, that's what I don't get, but whatev...)

If it wasn't the first three, it was among the first five.

Which is exactly what they've done before -- shown the second scene of the ep in the online preview.

yep. exactly what i meant. i'm just very excited about the 28th. though i'll be in disneyworld at the time. do disney hotels have UPN? *panic*

They just have ABC. You'll have to hop over to Paramount.

Heh. You sound just like Diane Ruggiero:

Diane: He's pretty good about listening to people's opinions and hearing them out. There's been a couple of times where I've disagreed with him, and I was so completely wrong. [chuckles]

MI.net: Would you like to elaborate?

Diane: That "Who's at the Door?" thing last year. I thought, I'm like, [skeptical, you-are-so-wrong voice] "No one is going to care."

MI.net: That's all anybody asks!

Diane: And everybody was like, [high-pitched fangirly voice] "Who's at the door? Who's at the door?" But I was saying, "That's not big enough." I so didn't think that was big enough. He was like, "Trust me. People are going to be talking about it, talking about it." I'm like, [whiny, eye-rolling voice] "No they're not." And I so wasn't on board with it. But I think I only mentioned it like once and admitted it to him later. He's like, "Really? I thought you were really into that." [bashful voice] "No...I really didn't think it would work." I was so completely wrong.

Oh! We have a thread! So I can pimp our interview with Rick Pickett, the graphic designer. It's really interesting. Rick is great.
