Hey, you have it easy with a month-long wait for season 5. I had to wait about a year :)
I'm glad you mentioned the chess scene, because it was that scene that first really pulled me in to the show and convinced me that this was going to be much more than a typical cop show. It was brilliant, and you're right that it's haunting, especially considering that all three people from that conversation ended up dead.
As soon as the season 5 DVDs come out, I'm going to rewatch the whole series from beginning to end. I think there's a lot of foreshadowing of certain characters' fates that happens really early on, and I'm going to see if I can pick it out.
Just an amazing show all around. If I could pick one show to put in a time capsule to survive the apocalypse, this would be the one.
(Oh, quick question - what were you talking about when you mentioned "numbered shirts" in Buffy season 6? I hadn't heard about that.)
