On the First DVD there are commentaries for the first two episodes featuring Bridget, Craig Horner (Richard),executive producer Ken Biller, and co-executive producer Stephen Tolkin. I’ve listened to many commentaries over the years where the actors can’t really remember what’s going on from one episode to the next so it was awesome to hear Bridget not only make jokes and references to other episodes from later in the series but to also here her reference the books the show is based on. She and Craig do a lot of the talking for the commentary and give a lot of insight not only into the episodes but also about how they got the roles and some of the pre-production work that went into the series. While Craig does go on and do another commentary for another episode, that’s it for Bridget.

Also, there’s a behind the scenes featurette called Forging The Sword: Crafting a Legend. It’s part stage tour by Craig Horner part interviews with the director, art director, costume designer, set designer, and other people who work on the show. Almost all of the time Craig is on screen so is Bridget. Something that comes up a lot in talking about Kahlan is her white confessors dress. The interview with the costumer goes into a bit of how it’s made so if you’re after your very own confessors dress it’ll be helpful. Some of the more interesting behind the scenes shots of Bridget include seeing her out and about at horseback riding lessons and she and Craig running around set playing jokes on their castmates.

The only real complaint I have about the whole DVD set is that they’ve shoved all 5 DVDs into one DVD case and that means there’s no nifty little booklet. I like the booklets that come along with TV season on DVDs because they usually have episode descriptions and pictures from the series. I have all the attention span of a flea so I can never remember episode titles. If this applies to you, Wikipedia has a summary for each episode here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Legend_of_the_Seeker_episodes#Season_1_.282008-2009.29

On the whole I’m happy with the set, I think if you enjoyed the series and you want to see some excellent extra Bridget then you won’t be disappointed with it. For those of you who have already picked up a copy, what were your thoughts on it?
