I guess that I'm missing something here. I think the premise is fine, but Rod Taylor's acting was distracting to say the least. I could barely watch it. Maybe familiarity breeds contempt, because I watched it as aired, then watched the DVD commentaries, none of which were very enlightening and some were inaccurate. Perhaps the commentaries are done spontaneously, but the director didn't know how many characters there were to begin the episode, so he probably didn't watch before the interview.
I'm not giving a 5 due to the extras: Taylor's acting is part of it, but there were too many errors, all of which I saw on the initial viewing, to feel comfortable about the quality of the production. I have the all-frills set and I'm watching them in order, doing the extras immediately. This is my least-enjoyed episode.
