Specials aren’t all documentaries. Many of them are episodes that are only available on disc and are meant to be watched between episodes.

And/or allow us to specify a list of related items in the metadata, which appear as options when viewing the main item. This would be particularly useful in cases where: A movie acts as the starting-off point for a TV-show that follows it A TV show that concludes with a movie A series of movies that work best when viewed in a particular order A TV show that offers…

I suggest you comment/vote in these threads in order to help us avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes.

As a side note… please stick to the rules for the feature suggestion category and go for 1 suggestion per thread. Otherwise other users will only be able to vote for the full package instead of a single feature they might like.
