Nah, they're online screeners, which almost never leak, because they're easier to watermark, and most of us are lazy asses who wouldn't be able to figure out how to download the episodes if we tried.

HBO has instituted a new system that will make it instantly, remarkably obvious who leaked an episode now. They have nothing to worry about from this.

HBO usually sends out complete seasons (admittedly, a few episodes at a time). It doesn't for GOT because it doesn't have to (everybody will watch anyway). It sent out 7/8 for TD season 1.

Amazon doesn't own the rights to it. It just has streaming rights to the first three seasons, something it literally cannot get rid of. That's why Amazon is the most likely focus for new seasons, but it's not the sole focus.

Hard to believe Hannibal's contracts expire in June, since the show aired off-schedule. Probably the contracts expire in August, which gives everybody a bit more time.

My understanding is it's probably Netflix or Amazon, or it's nobody else. Like HBO or Showtime COULD fun it. They just won't want to.

My understanding is this season ends in a big cliffhanger.

Hello!

My conceit is a bit of a cheat, because HBO hasn't programmed full lineups for all THAT long, and the lineup that just left the air was good! (Even given issues with Game of Thrones this season.) But it's still completely true.

AdBlock costs us money, yes. If you read a site a lot, and its ads aren't too obtrusive (as with, say, a Vox Media property), it's always nice to whitelist that site in AdBlock.

Hey, I visit here much less than I used to, mostly because the ads have gotten TERRIBLE. They randomly start shouting when I have something open in a tab, and now they keep dragging me down to comments when I'm trying to read an article (or up to the top of comments when I'm following a discussion). Is this literally…

S6's strength is thematic coherence. The notion of Greendale as an extension of Jeff's psychological wellbeing is first broached in the premiere, then really explored in whatever the "Gay Dean" episode is called. And then the last episodes of the season really bring that home in a satisfying way that the series has…

I can't understand elevating S5 over S3. That's just weird and wrong. S5 starts really strong, but it very quickly disintegrates. The individual episodes are all basically fine (so it's more consistent than S3), but it's very much a season of coasting off laurels.

I don't dislike 3 at all. I just like this season a little better.

This is off the top of my head and, thus, might be wrong, as I might have misremembered where a few episodes fall.

Netflix and Amazon, as of last count, had roughly similar subscriber bases. Justified, Americans, Hannibal, etc., haven't turned into the next Breaking Bad, but neither have a bunch of shows on Netflix (including Mad Men). I think it's time to start treating Breaking Bad as a special case and not the example of what…

That Too Many Cooks explainer was the most beautiful thing I or any of us will EVER WRITE.
