I'll just DVR it, then start watching about 2.5 hours in like I do every year.  I'm usually done on time, and a few years I've even caught up to the broadcast.

Yeah, I prefer Colbert to Maher, though I gladly watch both.  I gave up on Stewart and the Daily Show.  It just isn't funny anymore and the whole "both sides are crazy" bullshit rally annoyed me.

Fly is an amazing episode.  I really question the taste of any Breaking Bad fan who doesn't like it. 

Really?  The stuff with Sheila at the wedding was Rescue Me at its absolute worst, even compared to the rest of this mostly unnecessary season.

Caprica sucking probably had more to do with its demise than any split season.  The ratings had already fallen hard long before the hiatus.

Agreed.
