when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

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...?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

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.

What is even happening?

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.

It's going to be stupid hot and stupider humid all weekend, so I'm parking my butt in front of the teevee.
