His post confirms that the dvd set for Book 1 will have cast and crew commentary. Which most likely means that at least some of the episodes will have full episode commentaries.
Just had a fun DVD commentary session for Book 1 with Janet Varney (Korra), David Faustino (Mako), and Mike (Mike).Now this does bring up the question of how soon is the set coming out. The trailer we saw a few days ago said soon, but if they are only recording the special features now, that means it is not that soon, unless the features only take a short amount of time to do.
