Feedback requested for my new 30 Rock site!

Code named Gadzorp, the entire point is to serve as a reference with scripts from every episode as well as all the GIFs that I have created for the show. The biggest issue at this point is that I need to make time to manually go though each script and revise them as needed (as well as add scripts for the deleted scenes). But in the meantime, please check it out and give me some feedback! Tell me how it breaks, try to hack into it, all that stuff.

Looks great. Seems like it'll be handy for searching quotes (which is hit or miss with most search engines; I mostly start directly with Yarn these days)
How are you doing the transcripts? Just pulling from the extracted .srt files?

  Almost. My Blu-ray rips are subtitled with PGS/SUP, which apparently uses an image for subtitles instead of simple plain text like SRT. So I found a program called sup2srt which uses an OCR engine to convert the subtitle images to SRT, which I can then load into the database that this site uses. But, there are some issues with that:
  Obviously, OCR is imperfect. It did a great job overall, but there were still a lot of things that need to be fixed
  Most seasons, the subtitles are ALL CAPS.
  There are a few scenes with hardcoded subtitles (such as the scene in Queen of Jordan in which Jack/Liz are whispering). These lines are not part of the subtitle file
  I made some quick Python scripts that go through all the script files to fix common mistakes, but I am also slowly going through each script individually to manually revise them.
