Yeah, that was pretty cool. Jack asking Hammond if he taped The Simpsons was great too.

lol... what was up with the vagina thing? that was...um...interesting.

...something about only getting it if you watch the director featurette will you get a laugh at that part. Um, yeah. I gotta watch the episode again just to compare what they said or didn't say.

Another thing I noticed: They could have edited the sound a little and made the commercials a lot less obvious. You can really tell where the commercials went when the music swells and stuff. By simply adding the final "sting" of music at the begining of the next scene, it would have been more seemless. Still, it's better than most TV-on-DVD shows where they actually fade to black for a few seconds before fading back and continuing it. I think they might have edited the sound and video a little in the first few episodes though. The first time I really noticed the commercial thing was "Prometheus".

Although I've started noticing it too - you could argue that their majority market is the paying market, i.e. the ones who broadcast with adverts. Any company should always pander to its biggest market... by adding the extras onto DVDs they're dealing with the smaller market too.

I think I may have spoken too soon, because I have watched up to Memento now and Promethues I think was the only episode were the commercials were really that obvious.
