We finally watched Buffy Season 7 this weekend (and I do mean we watched it all between Saturday afternoon and Sunday evening–I felt slightly motion sick by the time we were done) and I have to admit that I came away feeling a little disappointed. Although I was pleased with the ending, I just didn’t feel that Season 7 was anywhere near as good as previous seasons, and I also had a problem with some of the things that happened–they just seemed inconsistent. (i.e. Buffy continually protects Spike, but has to kill Anya without giving her a chance.)

But besides that, we enjoyed it, and now we have Angel, seasons 1 through 3 to watch over Christmas break. (I’m hoping that it is, at least for most of it, episodic, so we don’t have those fits where we HAVE to watch six straight episodes to find out what happend. And it’s not just Buffy that did that: Deep Space Nine did the same thing at the start of Season 6 and the end of Season 7. Once you start watching you can’t quit until it’s resolved.

Unless of course you’re one of those freaks that likes suspense and waiting.

And I was really bothered by one thing: Why would you have to get your driver’s license renewed in California every year after losing an eye? There’s no such regulation here in West (by God) Virginia. At least for people who are blind in one eye, and I don’t see why there would be a difference between the two. Some I’m rather curious as to whether that is a real rule, or just something they made up. Because I can’t see any reason for that to be a rule. (And I do have a reason for saying this–I have a family member who is blind in one eye, so I really don’t understand why there would be such a regulation. But then I suppose California is weird like that.)
