Other features include:
- "Character Tree" where you can click on any given character and hear the actor talk about his/her character
- "The Architecture of Series Storytelling" is a short documentary about the season.
- "Powers Grid" is a very short featurette about which characters have powers and why.
- "TVFX" is another extremely short featurette on the special effects of the show.
Season Four: Only one actual episode commentary is provided here, "Till We Have Built Jerusalem" with co-creator Scott Peters.
There is a director’s cut provided of the season finale which comes with a commentary from Peters.
Other features include:
- "Season IV: Factions at War" – The standard about-this-season documentary. Though it’s no different from the other documentaries included on other seasons, it is full of cast interviews, and runs a good 30 minutes. It’s a special feature for the fans.
- "Jordan Collier: The Grey Man" is an interesting, but far too short, featurette about Jordan Collier who becomes the main focus in the later seasons. It poses the question of whether he is a good guy or a bad guy, but leaves the viewer in limbo on whether or not he is.
- A gag reel and a few deleted scenes are included.
Bonus Disc
This disc had to be made to make this set worth buying. If you’re a fan of this show, and have been from the beginning, then this disc needs to be seen.
There is a brief introduction by co-creator Scott Peters, who you’ve heard on numerous commentaries already. He mentions the cancellation of the show, which came way too soon. He also thanks the fans for their support of the show.
Peters and Gretsch finally give some much needed love in the form of commentary to the first season by providing a commentary track for the pilot episode. This is one of the most insightful commentaries in the entire series. It is partly due to the fact that they can use hindsight and look at the series as a whole. They comment on how the first season had no special features because it was technically a “mini-series” so they didn’t know if they’d be coming back for another season. They gives some interesting information about the sets and they give high praise to other actors they worked with. They both have a very sarcastic sense of humor and are extremely fun to listen to.
