As things here start moving again, we've got a new (well, to this site) commentary from some of our early contributors. I expect there will be a bit of this, as people who have recorded commentaries while the site was dormant start submitting them.
The other of the two new submissions received in December. After this, there are two from back in April I still need to post, and then it's all up to people sending new submissions.
This is the first of two new commentaries submitted during the month of December. There are still two earlier and never-posted commentaries I need to get to, but there's a delay on those. So, on with the new stuff.
Yet one more commentary submitted back in April, as I continue the weekend's activity of getting previously-submitted but never-posted commentaries added to this site, in the lead-up to adding some new ones that have come in over the past month, out of nowhere.
Another commentary submitted way back in April, and therefore part of my "catching up" phase here. It should be noted that this commentary also was made available not as a single file but in parts, in this case two. So the podcast-enabled feed does not function properly, since it only picks up the first file. You will have to download the second part by hand.
This commentary for the film was submitted way back in April, about the time that your now-apologetic webmaster went AWOL and sent this site spiraling into dormancy. I'm catching up now, so one-by-one we'll get all old (and some new) submissions posted, beginning with this one.
Continuing the sudden surge of new submissions, another episode commentary from The Firefly Experience, one of the several commentators or groups of commentators working their way through the entire Firefly series.
After something of a lull in submissions, BDC brings itself back into play with an international commentary recorded across the ocean by two of our regular commentators.
Nearly five months after the first fan-recorded commentary was submitted (and slightly longer than that since we opened this site), one of our regular contributors (again via Sofa Dogs) offers this commentary on the last remaining episode to be without one. As of this listing, we now have at least one commentary for each and every Firefly episode, Serenity, and the R. Tam Sessions.
The debut of Saffron gets its second fan-recorded commentary treatment, this time from one of our regulars plus a special guest. It also serves as an introduction to the Sofa Dogs podcast.
One of our regular stable of commentators launches themselves headlong into one of the other "untouchable" episodes, that for which your humble webmaster feels Joss recorded one of the best audio commentaries ever. But, someone had to tackle this one eventually. And with this, BDC has commentaries for all but one remaining episode.
At long last, a commentator has tackled Out Of Gas, seemingly considered one of the holy grails of Firefly audio commentaries, and away from which everyone has stayed until now. With the submission of this commentary, only two episodes remain without fan-recorded commentaries.
We'll be honest. We never thought that Safe would be amongst the episodes to have more than one fan-recorded commentary before each and every episode had at least one. But this makes the second commentary for this episode.
Another group of podcasters, this time who focus on commentaries for "classic science fiction" join the ranks of commentators for Firefly.
Your humble webmaster is beginning not only to fall behind on the recording and the listening, but of the keeping track of how many audio tracks some of the people, such as this commentator, have submitted.
In the midst of a burst of regular commentators continuing building their catalogue, a new commentator tosses their hat into the ring.
Everyone else continues to rack up the commentaries while your humble webmaster continues to be missing in action, recording nothing, and falling even further behind in listening.
One of our regularly-heard commentators continues his path through, well, anything and everything, by finishing off the first disc of the DVD set.
BDC is playing catch-up with submissions that have come in over the past couple of days while we've been otherwise occupied. Again, here's a commentary on an episode that doesn't otherwise have one on the DVDs themselves.
One of the original commentators returns once again, this time to tackle another of the episodes which originally went unaired during Firefly's brief time on FOX.
Hot on the heels of the previous submission comes another for the same episode, by the other set of fan commentators who have pledged to work their way through each and every episode.
Our second commentator ever to announce their intention to methodically go through every episode returns with a commentary on the first one ever aired, following up on his commentary for the series pilot.
One of the two fans who contributed the very first fan audio commentary ever posted to Big Damn Commentaries, thereby officially inagurating and launching this site, returns with a solo effort.
Our third fan commentary on Serenity comes from Australia, from a name many of you likely will recognize from around the various Verse-related site and boards.
Another commentary from a fan who intends to work their way through the entire series, including the film. If everyone who is setting out to do that indeed pulls it off, we'll have a rather sizable library of commentaries one day.
Continuing the growing collective push to record commentaries on episodes of Firefly, the webmaster for Big Damn Commentaries tackles "Ariel" and examines the characters of Simon and Jayne in light of developments and revelations from the film, Serenity.
Episodes of Firefly continue, finally, to get the fan commentary treatment, with this commentary on "Bushwhacked" from ZachsMind.
Continuing the seemingly-natural link between audio commentaries and podcasters, three geeks bring us our second commentary on an episode of Firefly.
Big Damn Commentaries' very own webmaster -- The One True b!X -- finally found the time to record his own commentary for the film.
This movie commentary comes to us via a group of podcasters -- two who regularly record DIY audio commentaries for movies, and two who Browncoats just might possibly recognize from elsewhere.
At long last, the maintainer of the R. Tam Sessions fansite which tracked these viral videos when they were released back in August (and the maintainer of Big Damn Commentaries itself) has recorded a commentary for those Sessions clips.
This commentary comes from Stuart and Tom, "brothers and (obviously) fans of Firefly." They say they recorded this "partly because it seemed like a good idea, partly because no one else has submitted anything yet and we wanted to help get the ball rolling."
