You'll end paying the same amount, or close, at least if you ever want to subsidize the development of new pilots to replace the shows you current watch. Mad Men and GoT won't last forever, and nobody will be able to afford nice-looking new shows like that without all the cable subscriptions, as far as I can figure.…

If you think the Comcast DVR UI is bad, you should see Cablevision's UI.

I'm also in a FiOS-Cablevision area. I got in under the wire and got a good two-year deal before Wall Street forced Verizon to jack the FiOS prices way up. (The scum on Wall Street essentially whined to Verizon — I'm paraphrasing — "why isn't FiOS making a huge-ass profit margin like Verizon Wireless is? WANT MORE…

Agreed. Another article about The Imminent Demise of Cable/Satellite TV, another day. Meanwhile most people prefer to pay to get loads of channels on their big HDTVs and don't want to screw around with watching stuff on their computers. Yet. There will be plenty of cord-cutters commenting on this article, railing…

You're also a commenter on the A.V. Club. People like us who comment are also likely to spend lots of time staring at stuff on computers and streaming things. A lot of cord-cutters will show up here but there are not so many of you in the general population. Not yet.

I have not done a comprehensive comparison so I can't say much about it outside of a few season 3 episodes. So it's hard for me to say. There are other bits exclusive to the book for these two episodes besides what I transcribed above, but I didn't have the stamina to transcribe any more than that yesterday, or to…

That's a good point in favor of the DS9 Companion vs. Memory Alpha. I hadn't thought of that. The DS9 Companion doesn't have nearly as many spoilers. Actually, I'm trying to remember if it has ANY spoilers for future episodes in its blurbs. I don't think there is anything major but I could be wrong. Whereas, yeah,…

How long does it usually take for the bastards at On Demand to get the most recent episode up? Come on, you bastards, get it up already. The first four episodes of the season are up there. It's 2012, this shouldn't be difficult.
