Current view of Flow comments

Currently in Flow, the information provided about a new comment is too minimal. When looking at RecentChanges and my watchlist, I can see that there is a new comment, but in order to know whether the contents of a new comment are relevant or interesting, I have no option but to open it. 

It would be great if the watchlist/RecentChanges view of a new Flow comment could be enhanced with a snippet of the comment. Even just the first few words/characters would be very helpful. See the following examples...

Current:

* (topic) . . Talk:Flow; 13:17 . . Fram (talk | contribs | block) added a comment.

With snippet: 

* (topic) . . Talk:Flow; 13:17 . . Fram (talk | contribs | block) added a comment. (Nothing, so "hide" works incorrectly and "show" only works during editing...)
