A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Why does TWoP do that?! That is why I never read anything there.

Presumably, it's to increase ad revenue. It just proves to me the contempt they have for their readers.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

That's pretty harsh, Tom. I don't think they have contempt, nor are they rolling in so much ad money that they could easily reduce their page hits.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

And I think there's so much bias at this point that nothing he says will make it better.

Did I miss something big kerfuffle-wise in VM/RT land? What's the rumpus?

Perhaps. But IMHO, splitting an article into 20 pages is excessive and user-hostile.

Not a kerfuffle, just general fandom negativity about various aspects of the show. One of the major things, I guess, is that people think Veronica has gotten meaner and bitchier, and Rob doesn't agree, and neither side can see the other's perspective, so nothing's going to change.

Perhaps. But IMHO, splitting an article into 20 pages is excessive and user-hostile.

It's expected for their user base, though. IIRC, things have always had insane splits, even dating back to MBTV days.

What is even happening?

I don't think Veronica's gotten meaner or bitchier. I do think though, she needs something to make you feel for her. It was easier to feel for her in season one, because she was so wounded. It's been harder last year, and this year.

Is the TWoP interview in an obvious place, or will I have to hunt for it.

Punishingly Intricate

I actually like it because then I can read something in several sittings and easily remember where I left off.
