I TOLD YOU TO WATCH THIS LIKE TWENTY YEARS AGO (!). LISTEN TO ME MORE OFTEN.

Anyway. :p I'm so excited that you like this, considering you're just about the last person on my flist to get into VM. This show was my absolute favorite until Buffy, and in a lot of ways it still is. (To make things easier, I just say they're both my favorite.) The one thing I ever regret about it is that it was supposed to air on HBO -- and it would have been so, so amazing if that happened, because A) they would have been able to do a LOT more with it than UPN let them, B) it would have been truer to its noir element, and C) we'd get to hear the characters curse. (Because in a town like Neptune, you just know they all have sailors' mouths.)

Yeah, I kind of grinned when you said in your last post that you hoped it'd be Aaron but didn't think it was. I love hearing thoughts as other people watch shows/films I've already seen, because it's just fun to see how spot on/far from the truth people are without realizing it. :p

I pretty much agree wholeheartedly with what you've said about S1, except (and you know what's coming): YOU DON'T LIKE LOGAN/VERONICA? AND YOU LIKE DUNCAN/VERONICA? SERIOUSLY?

Okay, so I guess I get it. You must have heard a lot about the wonderfulness that is L/V, and it just didn't deliver. A lot of things are only as awesome as people say they are if you experience it first-hand, rather than hear how awesome it is and then watch it. (If that makes any sense at all.) It's like me and not liking Star Wars, or people not liking The Dark Knight after it's been out for three months. But not all of what made me love L/V was in S1. Nowhere near, in fact. You may just change your mind. (Maybe.) And even if you don't, that's fine. It nowhere near makes up the show -- there's so many more elements to love, which you've already discovered S1. And I don't think D/V fans were left disappointed, either. Though admittedly, you're in the minority. ;)

Wow, sorry for the novel! :p

ETA: In my haste to post this, I forgot to say how pretty your picspam is! Yay for the prettiness!

And did you start S2 yet?
