Have cast widget scroll down page
So, I'll sometimes be down at the bottom and want to check a detail about a character like a name or some such. I have to scroll all the way back up, read the info, then all the way back down to finish my post. I don't see a solid reason why cast can't scroll down, mirroring the commentary window?

The cast list actually is fixed in location, but only up to 4 players. After that, we can’t be sure that everything will fit on the screen, and if it didn’t then there would be no way to view the content that spills over. So in those cases we have to make the cast list scroll with the rest of the page so that we can ensure that everything will be visible. Make sense?

If I am reading deep into a scene, or even writing, having to scroll all the way up to the top to check a detail on a character is less than convenient. I run the risk of losing my place at the least or train of thought at the worst.
While we're at it, printable player screens would be great too! Sort of like how recipes offer a "printable version" so too should the character details be printable.

Having the cast collapse into a disclosable widget when it would scroll offscreen seems doable, especially with Angular.

Oh, yeah. I've encountered this problem in a somewhat different context in web development before, and can certainly see why having a scroll bar for the cast list might not be as intuitive as having it for commentary.
