    I suppose with all the backstories and history, JRRT will be particularly amenable to this ... if you look at the "extras", about half are production details, the rest is documentaries on Middle Earth and how they brought it to life ... very interesting, but I'd rather wait for Discovery Channel's "How they did it" and chat about the series with my other nerdy friends.
