In lieu of actually ever writing my senior thesis, I went and meta'd. Actually, this is the distilled essence of a bedtime conversation, and since you weren't actually in bed with us, you're missing out on much of the context. Also, the order in which we're watching the episodes (which I'd reccomend to anyone; it's ABC order which is a sufficient randomization device and it helps us view every single episode in light of the entire series, which is very useful for meta and for making connections we hadn't noticed before) is helping frame our conversation.

The topic is broadly, metaphysics in the Jossverse, and narrowly, Seers, particularly Cordelia. It's not my senior thesis. But I love it anyhow. It also took me about three hours to write. Now why can't I focus on schoolwork like that?
