Does anyone else find Espenson's commentary on the webisodes to be bland, unhelpful and mindlessly laudatory?
I agree. The commentary is next to useless. It explains nothing about the backstory nor fleshes out the whys and wherefores of the script.
She babbles on about act lengths in today's tv dramas, casting processes and whether Raptor pilots should be wearing helmets (do'h) and ignores what would have been of interest to fans.
Doesn't she realise it's about the show and NOT HER?
Please Gods.... have RDM show her how a commentary should be done.
End of rant ;-) Am just annoyed at the wasted opportunity here.
I was waiting for her to comment on Boomer, but alas she didn't (yet).
Jane was chosen to write the Cylon-centered post-series 2-hour movie The Plan ... without D'Anna ... 'nuff said
I disagree - I don't mind her commentary at all. I still love her quote in the first one about how Grace Park can so effortlessly play two different Eights by the way she holds her face. That is so true. I also thought it was interesting that Adama was supposed to be in these instead of Tigh. I like Tigh better - not only is it more realistic that Hoshi would be speaking to the XO about his plan (as opposed to directly with the old man), but it also has the added subtext of the fact that Tigh's kept his job despite being outed as a Cylon six days ago. Not something I would have thought would have happened.
Scratch that - more than six days ago - it probably took them a while to find Earth.
I feel that this was a much more satisfying webisode than the first one. They're showing us at least one contributing factor to the coming disaster on the raptor: oxygen deprivation.
I found her discussion of act breaks interesting. For some of us fans, the craft and mechanics of writing is part of why we are fans.
I'm definitely enjoying the fact that Tigh is in this, for the same reason as Nathan. I guess the Adama/Tigh scene we saw in that 4.5 preview clip (the one with the bottle) hasn't happened yet in the timeline. Love that Tigh remains XO. I've decided to hold off on hearing Jane's comments till the 10 ep run is through. If I can.
Aww, Hoshi wants to go after him!
And yeah, like everyone else I always enjoy watching Grace Park play these multiple-Eight scenes, very impressive.
The point I was trying to make was that in a commentary about the show I'd like to hear about act breaks, structural decisions, etc. but the main point of the commentary is to talk about the SHOW. Structual commentary is all well and good, but I'm more interested with why the writers chose to have the actual story unfold as it did. Thats not to say hearing about the difficulty of obtaining sets isn't interesting, I would just like more.
Also, I know Grace Park is an amazing actor, I don't need a webisode commentary to tell me that.
In preparation for the purchase of a tennis racquetbefore, we must consider your financial ability to bear; On this basis, a further comparison, as far as possible, choose your tennis racket. Now a lot of cheap tennis racquet and more mixed materials, the proportion of mixed-use to control the stiffness of the tennis racquet discount and the shock-absorbing capacity, the more rigid cheap tennis racket, the swing more powerful force; but the relative resilience of the shock-absorbing capacity and discount tennis racket performance of talks on the easier it is for the wrist and elbow injury.
