No.  It's WB's policy that they don't pay to have people do commentaries.  The
problem here is that there's so *much* that they want...an on-camera interview,
two to four full commentaries, and further analyses on the races, technologies,
politics, all that stuff...it's a huge amount of work.  But their response was
that if it wasn't done for free, across the board, they'd just deliver a
foreshortened version, little to no extras, no publicity, little to nothing
without my commentary, which they feel is essential to the set.  Rather than
have a lesser version go out to the fans, I figured I'd just bite the bullet
and do it.
