Huzzah for DVRs!

[heidi]

My DVR let me know that SCIFI has started showing Dark Angel on Wednesdays at midnight, and will be doing another DA marathon this coming Friday starting at 9:30 AM, and that this coming Sunday, ABCFamily will be doing a Gilmore Girls marathon of Jess-centric episodes, including Milo's first appearance on the show (but they're not showing Keg Max with the Jared-and-Milo-fight-scene, alas).

Why they didn't do this while Heroes and Supernatural were on hiatus, I'll never know.

As regards watching other things, no, I haven't seen the trailer for OotP yet. I avoided trailers and previews before the first film, and again before PoA - for the first, I didn't want anything to take away from the magic of seeing the whole film at once, which was probably a bad idea because I found many, many things annoying, especially the ninety seconds of Hedwig flying, which could have been cut to 20 or so seconds, thereby leaving a lot of time for "Nitwit, blubber, oddment, tweak!" as well as "in the desert" and "Snape hated your father but your dad saved his life so there's a major guilt trip issue there," which would've changed the *entire* film around for me, character- and plot-wise.

I don't really want to see this trailer because I've heard that the scene with Sirius and the veil is in it, and I want to see it in the whole emotional context. I was devestated when I finished OotP because of the whole Sirius thing and it took reading Noctune Alley that weekend before I could think of AUs where it never happened, and then copperbadge started Stealing Harry and I was able to reread the books and deal with canon and fanon again. But it was a hard and desperate thing.

I'm bringing tissues when I see OotP, and I know I'm going to use them. But I don't want to see that bit beforehand...

I've watched the trailer at least ten times and I didn't see Sirius falling through the veil. There's a split second of Remus holding Harry back while Harry screams, but no veil.

I hated it when Sirius died too. All those pre-OotP fics where Harry went to live with him suddenly seemed so sad...
