Quite sad that the new season will begin before 7 has finished with one. The internet is our last refuge from networks that care so little about their viewers. :) I’ve already seen the last 6 episodes, including the Trial.

Just to have some fresh episodes in the vault to hang to for later in the year? if it’s rating so well, why would they wrap it up early?

And then there’s all the people who pass DVD-ROMs of TV series around to friends. If Seven doesn’t think this has now become widespread, they’ve got their collective heads in the sand.

The downloaded versions also aren’t edited to fit in more ads and promos, and aren’t covered in annoying popup ads for It Takes Two and the like.
