The Dresden Files > DF TV Series
The SPOILERIFIC Ask Robert Wolfe Thread-The Series, in General
Abstruse:
Mr. Robert sir, you mentioned on the little post about the DVD info that you had recorded commentaries for two of the episodes...do you have any say in bonus features and whatnot? Or are you even in the loop for that? If so on either count, do you happen to know if EVERY episode is going to get a commentary track of some sort (be it you on this episode, Paul on this one, etc.) or is it going to be like the Season 1 Buffy DVDs (which put me off buying TV DVDs for a year or so) where only 4 of the 12 episodes have commentaries?
I really hate to say it, but I buy DVD boxed sets for the extras, not for the show/movie itself. I have a DVR with a pretty good capacity for re-watching the shows themselves if I really wanted to, so the first thing I do when I pick up a DVD is read what extras are on it. If there's no commentary tracks, I put it back. That's why I didn't get The Maltese Falcon until this past year because the previous edition had no commentary tracks. Extras sell DVDs in my opinion.
That being said, I WILL be buying The Dresden Files even if I only get the two commentaries. I love the show and I can't bear knowing there's something Dresden in existence that I don't own :p

I'm more happy to see the two hour Storm Front pilot included on the dvd.

Wait...3 DVDs? That can't be right...that's 6 eps a disk, plus pilot and docs, plus commentaries. The compression algorithms for that would give very poor image quality. 3-4 eps a disc is needed. So that would be three discs for the episodes alone, plus a bonus features disk.

Well, they might put them out as double-sided DVDs. Same as the House DVDs and they fit a 22-ep season on 3 DVDs. So that makes me think 2 disks for the eps, one for the extras. Something like that.

Gawd, I hope not. Double-sided discs make me nervous - twice as much surface area to scratch up and kill your discs.
