T hanksgiving break is a week away, and taping for the first three episodes is wrapping up.
With only a few stray scenes left to record, Meltzner has asked everyone to assemble at the Benefit Street apartment of cast member Alex Silver '99 to tape the opening credits. The only time convenient for everyone is 10 p.m. Even with such a late start, some actors are squeezing the taping between other commitments. Meltzner has to borrow a car to retrieve one student from a birthday party at a restaurant downtown. Emily Calwell '00, A.K.A. Jacinda, who is seduced by a professor named Humbert. It is the first time everyone on the show has assembled since their nights of shooting in Viva at the beginning of the semester.
