I was very disappointed with the extras. The featurettes were to short and
there weren't enough of them. I tried listening to the commentaries but
they're
pretty boring and non informative. This was the worst of the five sets.

From Amazon.com
Hidden in the Rambaldi case's false bottom(!) is a bonus disc of material
not
found in any previous DVD release. The featurette "Case Closed" interviews
cast
members at the close of the show, with footage of their very last set
takes
(It's touching to see veteran stars Garber and Kevin Weisman, who plays
lovable
techie geek Marshall, struggle not to cry while season five newbie Nichols
weeps openly). The included fan tributes are amusing to watch; one
inventive
obsessor hangs a red Japanese lantern above his bed and calls it his own
personal "Mueller sphere." Other featurettes explore interviews with the
cast
after the pilot was filmed; the significance of the number 47 throughout
the
series; the numerous networks of villains (The Covenant, K. Director,
Prophet
5, etc.) But the best quote from the bonus disc comes from an interview
with
Rifkin, who assesses Sloane's complex motives with: "He's bad. Sloane is
bad.
Sloan is baaaaad. Sloane. Is. Bad." If you're a die-hard Alias fan and
don't
own any of the previous seasons on DVD, this one is for you.
