Glad to help there then! Whenever I try to convince my friends to watch VM, I always tell them to watch SOTL before AEFC even though it isn't that way on the DVDs. (I'm always tempted to burn a DVD with the order swapped and then "lose" the disc.. I'm not a huge Logan fan :P) I actually just finished watching VM season 1 with a friend (her first time) last week.
Anyway, it makes so much more sense. Because AEFC was a couple weeks before Christmas and when you know SOTL is supposed to be before that, the timeline works. There's nothing in the previouslies to SOTL that even remotely deals with AEFC. Etc etc. I could go on with this. I think it was because AEFC is more clearly December holiday and UPN didn't have time to air both AEFC and SOTL before the holidays and that's why they went with AEFC first.
Also looking at your profile, ooh you're in Melbourne. I have a couple lj friends in Melbs! And if I have enough funds for it, after my working holiday in NZ (which should start in September), I may end up doing a working holiday in Melbourne. I also notice a lot of common fandoms: Arrested Development, Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel, Burn Notice (watched most of S1 tho!), Chuck (two episodes behind), Dark Angel (I own S1 tho! Haven't gotten around to watching, but yeah..), Dead Like Me (ooh just recently finally got to see season 2 and then the movie), Doctor Who (have seen most of the season with Nine, however), Firefly, Friday Night Lights, Gilmore Girls (well didn't see the last third of S6 and the only S7 I saw was the series finale), Gossip Girl, Grey's Anatomy (mostly saw season 1, the PP backdoor pilot), Heroes, How I Met Your Mother, Merlin, Miss Match (haven't seen all the episodes, but I'm pretty sure I saw a bunch some years ago), The O.C. (stopped watching after 2x14.. VCR ate my tapes for 2x15 and 2x16 and by then, I knew about the shitty end of Marissa and Alex), One Tree Hill (really only watched S1 and most of S2.. Peyton Sawyer is/was my fave), Prison Break (only liked S1), Psych, Roswell (haven't seen S3), Skins (actually my most recent post has a poll on this topic now), Smallville (there's the first five episodes and the other random episode), Torchwood (5-6 episodes of S1 a while back? This was before I saw whatever I saw of DW), Veronica Mars (obvs!), Weeds, and Wonderfalls.
Aaaaaand I see we have a couple mutual friends. So I'm gonna add ya :P My fandom posts from this year are pretty much public, but that's it. Older fandom stuff is still flocked. Haven't gotten around to changing that yet.
