Thanks. I should have figured that out, but wasn't sure.

Lana,
Mark was saying the videos do not include the Audio Description track, but he
failed to use the word "description" in his statement.
Yes, they have the full audio and sound effects, minus the description track
for the blind.
Apparently, if you want to buy the video, with full audio including audio
description, you need to buy it through Prime.
I personally am fine with just the free MP3 with no video but all the sounds
plus audio description. My wife who is sighted, isn't a big fan of Sci-Fi.

Are you saying that the episodes come with video only? No dialogue or music, or
sound effects? or anything? That doesn't make sense, even for a sighted viewer.
