I'm disappointed that Lover's Walk and Dopplegangland don't have any commentary but they do talk about Lover's Walk in the Season 3 overview feature on disk 3.
I wish they'd do some cast commentary. I'd love to hear NB talk about The Zeppo (or The Pack).
Brian watched the ep this afternoon. He thought it was too much a continuation of last episode and 'last episode sucked'.
And during the telepathic talk? He said 'Who is that?', because it doesn't sound like Buffy at all.
There is some cast commentary on the features on disk 3 but very little.
I didn't think the episode sucked, I just think it was slow and a bit dull. I don't like Buffy as "teacher".
I was rather amused by Dawn calling the ProtoSlayers useless (okay, she said that she didn't think they were much help, I'm paraphrasing here). Pot. Kettle. Dawn.
Watched the Helpless commentary last night. I was surprised to see that the actor who plays Malcolm Reed on Enterprise was a member of the Council and later, a vampire!
So I just stopped by my registrar's office, and it turns out that the deadline for submitting an intent to graduate form was in mid-November. Ooops. They say I can still get my degree in the spring if I submit it now, but there are no ceremonies for naughty latecomers. Oh well. If all goes well, I'll be having one in two years anyway.
'Ouise, do you think mom will be annoyed at me?
Well, as long as the ceremony is the only thing you'll miss, I think she'll stop at exasperated. Oops, indeed. Isn't this the kind of thing that you're supposed to have mentioned to you by an advisor person? Oh well.
I hope that you're having a good day otherwise.
I didn't bother to go to my graduation ceremony. And I'm quite sure I didn't fill out any forms about graduating... Still, since I was in a professional program, that might have been taken as given. Also, they did just tell us to sign things and they took care of the details.
I think that if I hadn't switched to a double major and a history advisor, I probably would have been told to fill out the form at the start of the year, and then everything would have been taken care of. As it was, my advisor had enough trouble remembering I was a fourth year when we were going over what classes I still needed to take. I'm not surprised that he forgot about graduation.
'Course, now that I'm remembering how deadly boring graduation ceremonies are when you're in them, I'm not sure that I mind.
Elena, why didn't you go? Scheduling problem/out of town, or just didn't give a damn?
