Didn't it have a sink in it too?

Damn, and I already put the DVD away (yes, I'm too lazy to go dig it out again and throw it back in, what's your point?).

But I think you might be right, Gleebo. I know that the whole corner over by the Enourmous!MiniFridge seemed rather akin to a breakfast nook.

Even aside from the sheer size of the thing, it also had bizzare topography for a dorm room. A breakfast nook/kitchenette thingie? Almost a whole six feet of space between beds? And then wasn't the corner that wasn't the breakfast nook alost a little study unto itself?

It was like a small apartment, or a large efficiency.

The two person apartments at TESC were like that, FWIW.

NOT, I stress, the two person studios, which were cramped and evil, but the two person apartments.

The 4 and 6 person apartments were large, with separate bedrooms, a full bath with the toilet off in its own room, and a large living/dining room.

Everything excepting the studios had full kitchens.

So, didn't seem odd to me.

What is this freakish school you went to, babe?

The New Dorms (I lived for about half of my TESC career in these.)

C and D dorms (Okay, I guess the studio units in C and D were better than in A. I spent one quarter in a 4 person 2 bedroom)

A Dorm (Which also has 5 person apartments like C and D have, and one weird-ass unit at the top with a loft.)

What is this freakish school you went to, babe?

Check out the floor plans linked above.

Here's the scary dorms...

The Mods

Off in the corner, with Special Mushrooms growing 'round. The Mods were where they found dead people from time to time, as it had a high ass rate of drug use and lots of stinky hippy types.

Sweet merciful crap! Those things are HUGE!

You must have thought Buffy's dorm room was claustrophobically small.

You must have thought Buffy's dorm room was claustrophobically small.

Well, it didn't have a pantry.

What's up with that?

Ahhh the day isn't a day until someone has said 'sweet merciful crap'

Thanks for making this day a true day Sean. I can always count on you.

I went straight for the commentaries (on the S4 DVDs). I've now listened to all of them, with the exception of Superstar's, since I actually haven't seen that episode yet, period. (I have read the script, though, so I do know what I'm sort of missing.) The Joss-Marti-Seth commentary for Wild at Heart is easily the best one: "You're leavin'; she's gayin'." Primeval's (David Fury and James Atwater Contner) looked like it was going to be horribly dull at first, but hang with it, because they pick up energy pretty quickly.

I can't believe I've never run across Boils and Blinding Torment before. I like it, but then, I believe them when they say that they truly do love the show.

I checked out the first 30 seconds of each commentary episode. Just to hear Joss say that his commentary is "dull and uninteresting most everytime around" makes me laugh because we all know he is far from it.

I still wish they would release and ULTIMATE EDITION of all the Buffy DVD sets for each season about 5 years down the line with new commentaries on EVERY episode. Fuck, they could charge $140 for it and I would buy each season over again. I die for commentaries.

Question is, do you even soil episodes like "The Body" and "OMWF" with commentary or does it take away from the episode as a whole. "The Body" is by far the purest and most reveared episode of the show and just as Marsters stated his opinion on why Spike wasn't in the Body because he thought he didn't need to be there. I totally respect him for that decision, because I am sure they could have worked him into the episode, but alas I think it wouldn't have added to that masterpiece.

And for "OMWF", is it really right to talk over the great singing that the cast did? Kind of like talking during an instrumental or vocal concert in school. Rude perhaps. I have a feeling both "The Body" and "OMWF" will have special featurettes about them on the discs.

I haven't watched any of the commentaries for S3 or S4 yet, but I wonder how my fave writer Jane E.'s commentary on "Earshot" does for the episode.
