Went through the last few interviews on Season 4 today, nearing the end of these! Now, I've listened to all these commentaries and interviews in the past, but it was done back when these DVD's first came out, in a casual manner. Having listened to so many of these in close proximity has made something quite obvious - the quality of the commentaries improved dramatically this season!
Many are worth repeat viewings just because of how fun the actors are to listen to. Michael Hurst was clearly the star this time, as he provided both valuable insight and entertainment very consistently. The best of the bunch, if you choose to listen to only one, was the commentary on "...And Fancy Free" with Kevin and Michael.
Once again I'm kind of let down by the overall lack of content, but there are many TV shows out there that don't get any special treatment, so I guess I should be thankful I get anything at all. Where is the commentary on Armageddon Now? Why the lack of info about Kevin's illness during the season (which most of us now know was an aneurysm in his shoulder)? I'm sure most of us would appreciate a full hour or more of info on Stranger in a Strange World too!
Again though, minor nitpicks in the grand scheme of things.
As I'm approaching the end of the information available on the DVDs, the progress reports will change. It's an obvious choice to just post an update with each season that I finish, but after that, the dividing lines will be less obvious. So after these DVDs are finished, the progress report will become a weekly update, where I just outline what I've accomplished during the week. Don't worry though, I'll be working out a schedule so that there are various updates in between the progress reports too!
See you all with Season 5!
