Tomorrow, it all ends: the final two episodes of CSI New York get their airing - and the proportion of decent TV available free-to-air decreases yet again. Most of the recent Big Shows end up on satellite TV - 24, Lost, Game Of Thrones...
It's true that things have improved from "the bad old days", and shows like Under The Dome, Homeland and of course Agents of SHIELD are there for all to see, but it is still a royal pain that one company... *sighs* I'm not one of those people trying to justify downloading illegal copies of US shows, let's get that straight, and I fully believe in paying for my entertainment, but paying through the nose 'cause one company can buy up everything, including the rights to live Formula 1 - nope, not doing that.
Digital TV with its heaps of channels, the majority of which are free, has helped, but it's only a matter of time before something big, and awesome, ends up out of reach... and why bother with preventing spoilers when "everyone" is watching...?
Or alternatively, you could not give a sh8, and instead of shelling out thirty pounds or more a month more than you'll ever watch, or want to watch, and buy the boxed set for £10. Sounds like a plan.
And the same could be said for not worrying about blog-posts not making the midnight "deadline". Hey, I was watching The Final Destination, and the time just got away from me. Three days of posts in four days is a damn sight better than I've been managing lately.
