Howard,

I've not heard any commentaries from Sylvia. I share your wariness of her regarding her treatment of Gerry and their child. Gerry never mentions her at all in his commentary on Identified and has only good things to say about just about everyone. It makes for  pleasant listening.

Can't say I'm tempted by the BluRays myself. I'm content with the DVD's and I'm trying not to end up with multiple formats of the same thing. The only thing that might sway me is some extra cool additional material but since anyone who I might want to hear talking about UFO is now dead that seems unlikely.

While most of the interview with other cast and crew has always been positive. Sylvia appeared to bot have a good word for anyone! Of course I maybe my knowledge of the way she treated Gerry after the marriage breakup may have tainted my view. However, I just felt that it is 35 years ago, and she still can't let go.
