Was there no commentary for "Smile Time"?
No, but there is a featurette, called "Hey, Kids, It's Smile Time!" on the 1st disc. During the interview with Puppet!Angel, he says that he got the gig because he looks just like David Boreanaz.
We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Well, that's something. I'll play that tonight.

I haven't listened to any of the commentaries on any of the discs. Though I've watched a couple of the featurettes. Hearing AD's real voice is very jarring. I noticed that JM isn't listed in the people doing commentaries.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
It was strange to watch it with the commentary (Joss, Amy & Alexis). They kept not commentating and instead got caught up watching the scenes.
I wanted to go back and watch the commentary, but decided I couldn't watch it again just then, because I'm really not sure I'll ever get to a point where Wes doesn't make me cry- in the beginning because he's finally so damned happy, and you know what's going to happen, and at the end, because, well, he's all crying and desperate.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

That featurette is TOO short. I wanted a whole "this is how we did it" in detail, darnit. Plus, I wanted to know how often the cast cracked up. It looks like they were barely able to hold a straight face during the Slo-Mo Power Walk.
During the interview with Puppet!Angel, he says that he got the gig because he looks just like David Boreanaz.
That made be giggle.

I found that all of the commentaries were enjoyable and informative except for "You're Welcome". Sarah Thompson should not have been on that one. It should have at least included Charisma Carpenter and David Boreanaz because of the callback to Season 1 with the Doyle video and references to Angel's original mission - help the helpless without compromising values.
ETA: I'm annoyed that the gag reel did not contain more clips of the current season, especially from Smile Time and they repeated some clips from previous seasons.

There's an excellent review of the Season Five DVDs at dvdverdict.com--they give Angel one of their rare "jury verdicts," meaning more than one of their critics chimes in on the review. This one is good because the two secondary reviewers take a look at the series as a whole; the final reviewer calls Angel "the Ultimate Noir TV Series."

FCC rejects complaint involving 'Angel':
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A love scene from the canceled TV show "Angel" that showed a female character turning into a vampire and biting her partner's neck did not overstep federal indecency rules, the Federal Communications Commission ruled Friday... The episode aired at 9 p.m. EST on November 19, 2003.
That would make it "Destiny". Not sure why this one was chosen from the many many moments during the five seasons which riled someone's sensibilities.
