Haven't seen much posted on this set lately, but it seems to be selling really well. I went to Best Buy yesterday, and they were out. What do you guys think of the set? Worth $40?
I'll also echo a comment I read about David Greenwalt's commentary on "Reptile Boy" - it's terrible. Too much reiterating the onscreen developments and plugging 'Angel'Oh my god, it's worse than that it's the... everyone together now.... WORST. COMMENTARY. EVER. I felt like going for a murder/suicide after listening to the first 20 minutes of nothing but 'here's where Buffy gets asked out by the nice guy' and plugs for Angel (You'd think he gets a nickel for every time he says the word!). I listened on in hopes of gleaning some BTS factoid (I think there were maybe 4), but I think I could have lived with his lame commentary had it not been for the commentary voice from hell. I swear to God, his voice sounds like he's taking constant hits off a bong. About the time he mixed up the nice guy's name and started retelling one of the earlier factoids, I was wondering if he had the munchies.
I am really enjoying this set... it's so hard to catch a full season of episodes in daily reruns on FX if you have any kind of life. I just watched Halloween for the first time last night and it was a riot! ("You went mental, when?")
There was also a chapter screw up on the discs without supplements where the start of the first chapter past the credits was set 'into' the scene rather than just after the credits.That would be Lie to Me. I just finished watching it and was a bit perturbed that I had to reverse about a good 5 minutes.
