So, I decided that it would be cool to do commentary on the top 5 episodes of the sequence. That's where you guys come in. If you wouldn't mind voting on the top 5 episodes, in your opinion, of the sequence that you'd like commentary on (either written or recorded) then I would really appreciated it! Thanks in advance, you lovely humans!

Well that was a very hard decision. So many good episodes to choose from. I picked a few favorites (Awko Taco, Tears, Smiles and Other Face Activities, Monster Trial) and the others are just episodes I'd really love for you to talk about more. I definitely would love for you to talk about why you decided to bring back Angela and Jordan for the 50th and just reflect on the how the journey has been leading up to that episode. For the premiere, I'd love to hear you talk more about Alisha and David's big break up. And for the second part of the crossover, not just because I had a hand in writing it, but I'd love to hear more about your decision to make Michael an aspiring scriptwriting and I wanna know more about "Audition" by Michael Berreta! Oh and please record at least a couple of the commentaries, even if the episodes I chose aren't the ones that end up winning. Your voice soothes me.

I picked the 50th and the Finale. Those episodes were just the best. I'm so happy with them and just, they are amazing.
EDIT: Couldn't read so I picked three more. Yes I am a writer, and i don't read. STAY IN SCHOOL KIDS! But The episodes I picked were probably the ones that stood out to me the most in the BEST SEASON OF AUDITION EVERRRRRR. Okay, I'm done, everyone make sure you read this season, it's AMAZING!!!!

Don't forget to vote if you've finished sequence four! I would really appreciated it, and I think the commentaries would be a really cool interactive experience

I went back to all my reviews, and tried to suss out any favourites. The thing is, because I'm more invested in storyline and character, and their development, it's hard to hone in on an episode to call a 'favourite' when there's usually a string of episodes that dealt with something that made all those episodes amazing, but I did try for the sake of this poll and the sake of doing something as creative as a commentary on the top five Audition episodes of S4.
Unfortunately, I don't think my favourites will make the cut, but these are what I chose:
- 408 THE INEVITABLE | I remember leaving this episode thinking it was perfect from start to finish. I loved the focus on Michael and Rose making a step forward in their career aspirations. In terms of commentary, it would be nice to hear about closure on the 'Warfare' film, and wrapping up that storyline. You could also talk about Michael discovering what he wants to do, and the Mia/Alex scene that had some amazing dialogue. I don't think those characters have had many interactions, and that one between them was perfect.
- 411 WEEDY COMFORT | This was a great episode because we had Alex and Michael make a promise to never give up on their dreams no matter what bump comes along the way, David opened up about everything, and his interactions with Mia slowly edged towards the more romantic side of things, and Rose and Robbie's arc of singing in bars and pubs and things began. I think it's a good one to talk about because it's what planted the seeds for so much of what was to come, and it was a great episode for David, in particular, who was a huge part of this sequence. There's also a small Alisha part in the episode where she's searching for LGTBQI+ information, and had this developing friendship with Kelsey that complimented her arc very well.
- 414 MONSTER TRIAL | This was just a great milestone episode that gave us a lot of closure. It was not only a highlight of the sequence, but would be great to give commentary on because you were literally closing a chapter of the last fifty episodes, and brought back characters that have played a huge role on the show since it began.
- 417 AWKO TACO / FALLOUT | A perfect example of television drama. You managed to grab all these storylines and weave them into one big, climactic eruption that caused even more of a fallout that complimented the more emotional and internal focus for this season. Mia's car accident was just as shocking as David and Alisha reuniting, and I just think this was one of the best episodes of the sequence because of how everything started to pull together. It'd be a good one to talk about for commentary purposes because so much was going on in the episode, and I'd love to hear more about what made you decide to have all of these plot threads connect in one episode, and then explode all at once. Also, it'd be nice to hear about Mia's admission of jealousy, and peeling back layers of her character. I know this technically is two episodes, but I picked 'Awko Taco' because it already had a vote, and you could easily talk about both episodes, that were both perfect examples of television drama!
- 420 TEARS, SMILES AND OTHER FACE ACTIVITIES | Honestly, it had all my favourite pairings linked up, complimented the tone and theme of the entire sequence, and had a brilliant twist to end the sequence and make us come back for more. I feel like it's crucial you talk about why you decided to end the sequence the way you did, and hopefully give us some hints about S5.
Honestly, though, this sequence had a huge number of favourites. I think the only episodes that I didn't really like were 'Interview,' and 'New Courier.' The rest is fair game.

For those of you who have ANY questions regarding the entirety of the fourth sequence, please PM what you would like me to answer/talk about on the commentary that will hopefully be posted within the next week. Questions can range from anything to why an aspect was created to what the decision making process was behind making certain choices. Thanks to all in advance!
