It really did. At least it went out well.
The special features on the last disc are great, though! A couple hours' worth, right there.
[NAFDA] Spoiler Policy: Seasons 1-3 and the movie are fair game. Spoiler font two weeks for new content presented all at once (e.g. Season 4 on Hulu is fair game as of Aug. 9, 2019). New content presented as weekly episodes may be discussed with no restrictions as it is released.

I went ahead and left it in my queue. I'll be watching it within the next week, I'm sure.
Per our vote, this thread should have been closed back on November 23. Bye-bye, thread.
The consensus declared it shall be reopened.
Thanks, Laura!
The new season drops to Hulu all at once. How do we handle shows like that?
At the top of the streaming thread, the policy is spelled out like this:
Spoiler Policy: Spoiler font two weeks for content presented all at once. Content presented as weekly episodes may be discussed with no restrictions as it is released.
Is that what we'll do here, and if so, should it be posted to the top of this thread?
I would think that doesn't affect seasons 1 - 3, since they've been out for a dozen years, but it would affect the new season.
I, for one, would appreciate spoiler font for a little while.
So the streaming version of the pilot starts a little differently; it's missing the teaser and opening credits. I had to pull out my DVD to make sure I wasn't losing it. Was the opening reworked for DVD, and we're back to as-aired, or...?
Yay, reopened thread! I like the two week delay for the new episodes.
Welcome back, VM thread! I'm looking forward to the new season. And watching the older seasons seems like a good way to celebrate July 4th.

I made the suggestion in Bureaucracy.

If I recall correctly, the version on your DVD (which opens with Veronica outside the Camelot Motel at night) is the version Rob Thomas first made.
Les Moonves, who then ran CBS (and so UPN) said it is a high school show, so it should open at the high school.
Rob didn't want to do it, but he did, and wrote what he thought of as a bad voiceover, hoping it would get the thumbs down, hoping that the network would reject it and instead would air his original version. They stayed with the opening at Neptune, however.
I do not understand why Hulu has the as-aired version. It must have to do with however they bought the rights.
