Uhhhh… I need to be a bit more careful what I talk about on the blog. The LAPD and Captain Hammer are both viewers and were waiting for me and beat me up. Captain Hammer threw a car at my head. ---

Watched this on Netflix streaming and loved it! However, they don’t have the commentary on streaming (as far as I can tell anyway). Does anyone know if Commentary! The Musical is available on hulu or something? ---

Having watched it along with the show, I can tell you that at no point does the commentary actually comment on the on-screen action, so it doesn’t matter if the YouTube video actually has video or not. ---

> [@Chef\_Troy](#): > > Having watched it along with the show, I can tell you that at no point does the commentary actually comment on the on-screen action, so it doesn’t matter if the YouTube video actually has video or not. It does occasionally. At one point in “Better Than Neil” Nathan sings “I jumped from a moving automobile” just as Captain Hammer does, which is a pretty nifty bit of coordination, and Felicia sings about how dreamy Nathan is during their duet. They also occasionally comment on the movie in the spoken bits and of course it ends on “Depressing shot”. But the vast majority of it is unconnected to the video. ---

Well, I WAS folding laundry during the commentary, so I must have missed a few places where the audio and video intersect. _looks at back of Blu-Ray box_ Hey, there’s a regular commentary, too! I’ma watch that today. ---

> [@Bob Ducca](#): > > Chiming in to drive-by brag that I got to meet **Felicia Day** last weekend at the Chicago Comic Con and she was super sweet and adorable. I’ve met her _twice_ (I live in L.A., where she also lives) and I concur with your assessment of her personality. [Here’s a slightly blurry photo](http://imageshack.us/f/851/feliciaandi.jpg/) from the first time I met her. The second time she actually complimented me on my shirt! (which is weird, because it was just a plain bright blue shirt. But man, that made my day!) ---

Her Twitter feed is often hysterical. I have her autograph from when she was just a Potential on _BtVS_. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/just-closed-a-gap-in-my-geek-cred-i-watched-dr-horribles-sing-along-blog/593275.md?page=1)
