So uhh... was there a new episode last night? Cuz I DVRed it and when I went to go watch it it was the same one that we've already seen.
No; it was a "new in 2 weeks" thing, remember?Nova Hawk wrote:So uhh... was there a new episode last night? Cuz I DVRed it and when I went to go watch it it was the same one that we've already seen.
Ah, ok. I guess I didn't get that part cuz last week my DVR ended a couple minutes early and I didn't get to see the trailer.

Ya know, when setting a DVR to record a TV series (or even a single episode), you can make it keep recording a few minutes after the show ends to guarantee you get it all. Just sayin'... Cuz that seems to be your excuse every week.Nova Hawk wrote:Ah, ok. I guess I didn't get that part cuz last week my DVR ended a couple minutes early and I didn't get to see the trailer.

Ya cuz I automatically set it to end at 9:30 and it always cuts off like the last little bit of the episode. Now I've set it so it ends 5mins later and that should solve my problem.Twilight_Warrior wrote:Ya know, when setting a DVR to record a TV series (or even a single episode), you can make it keep recording a few minutes after the show ends to guarantee you get it all.

Yeah, the nonlinear structure can get confusing.Press_Tilty wrote:I hate how they jump around in the timeline like that.
it can get confusing, i wouldn't have a prob with it if they told us where they fell into placeEraOfDesann wrote:Yeah, the nonlinear structure can get confusing.Press_Tilty wrote:I hate how they jump around in the timeline like that.
That's because, for some absurd reason, they start the series a month later here in the UK. So they have to keep stalling you so we can catch up. Then they stall us for another month, then decide they want a world premire, so they stall you again. Why they don't just run them at the same time in both countries I have no idea.GangsterJawa wrote:No; it was a "new in 2 weeks" thing, remember?Nova Hawk wrote:So uhh... was there a new episode last night?

Allow me to put it this way. When the description of a programme on Sky has WORLD PREMIERE written on it, they're making a big thing of it. We start a month later, so they have to stall the US to get a WORLD PREMIERE. Because Sky has paid for a WORLD PREMIERE. Your broadcasters have been paid to wait. Simply making a series last longer by random stalling is insane. (Then again, who knows what goes on inside these broadcaster's heads?)THEWULFMAN wrote:Lagomorphia wrote:That's because, for some absurd reason, they start the series a month later here in the UK.

Lag, hate to say this, but uh, you are wrong.
The reason they take a week of here or there is to make the season last longer, thats the reason.
Every show on television does that (except for "reality" shows and other shows with minimal production costs). There are never enough produced episodes to fill the entirety of a season's spots.Lagomorphia wrote:Simply making a series last longer by random stalling is insane.

Which would explain why we start a month later...because we don't do that.Maveritchell wrote:Every show on television does that (except for "reality" shows and other shows with minimal production costs).
