Feature Report: Commentary


*Note: This article discusses a feature that won't be available when the site opens.


Ah, it's good to be back! I've gotten some good work done, but that can wait for Friday... Let's talk about another feature on the site! Episode commentaries!

It struck me one day that this would be a good idea. I have available to me all the necessary equipment to record commentaries. I'm a broadcaster on the local radio station, which provides both the equipment and a "radio voice." Now, obviously, I wasn't involved in the production of the show, but I intend to approach it from a different angle. I can discuss general trivia pulled from other sources, the historical aspects of the show, where actors are today, importance of continuity... the list goes on. I firmly believe I can record an engaging commentary for various episodes, and I'd like to believe that people would like to listen to them as well.

I can't have these prepared for the site launch, as this requires quite a bit of planning and practice to make it stand out, but it'll be incorporated into the site fairly quickly. I think it will offer a nice excuse to revisit old episodes for fans, and I hope it will become a popular feature. Bad idea, good idea? Let me know!

Extra tidbit: (In case you haven't realized, "Love on the Rocks" is one of my favorite episodes.)
