The final line is perfect. I'm going to steal that for a future tag.

FTR: "On your mark. Get set. Pause."

YES! A VM thread! Finally I can discuss VM on the boards where P-C forced me to watch it. Ack, brand new thread and I'm already sooo behind.

My random musings:

On LoVe: For whatever reason, I totally buy it. I actually startled myself because when they kissed, I literally cheered out loud. And then I was like "Was I rooting for that?" The writers just lulled me into it so gradually that I never realized I was expecting them to get together. I think the banter throughout the season, coupled (snerk) with their moments of bonding over Lilly and their mothers, really sold it for me.

On Veronica's ethics and such: Some of my favorite moments throughout the season were when Veronica was being her hardcore ends-justify-the-means self and someone either called her on it or somehow derailed her. Carmen calling off the revenge in "M.A.D." is one of those moments. Meg telling her she's not alone is another. And of course, the finale is the ultimate of these as she runs into a situation even her smarts and savvy can't solve and we see beyond her tough exterior and remember she's a 17-year-old girl. So I enjoyed watching Veronica snoop and pry because it fit her character, but I also enjoyed watching her worldview be upset by the other characters, demonstrating that her path wasn't necessarily ideal.

And man, it took some serious effort to skip this whole page of whitefont and not read the stuff about the promo I'm making myself not watch.

it's honestly not spoilery in the least. i don't really think promos, in general, are spoilery. mostly because the network is generally clueless about the shows.

watching those three minutes of the show told me nothing. they just served to get me more excited than i already was(and that's saying a lot).

Are the promos airing on TV, yet? If so, we don't white font them, here. Our spoiler rules are slightly different from other sites. Basically, if it's on air, it's fair game.

two of the promos have aired. most of what we whitefonted was discussion of the three minutes of the first episode up on UPN's website.

The final line is perfect. I'm going to steal that for a future tag.

Hey, I wrote that line. I've been quoted!

In case you haven't read Rick's interview, he is taking fan suggestions about background props and incorporating them into the show.

Aw, wyk, you're Buffista 1700. Aw.

I watched all twenty two episodes in the last two weeks, completely unspoiled. Just finished watching the finale about twenty minutes ago. Head go 'splodey now.

Off to threadsuck.

There's a preview of next season up on the UPN site -- two shortish scenes from the first episode, followed by a traditional montagey preview. It all looks really good.

We've got an interview with 46bliss, whose song "The Way You Are" was used at the end of "Silence of the Lamb." It's a really fun interview, and you have a chance to win an autographed copy of the new CD, so check it out.
