New York Jets at Carolina Panthers preseason football for me 8/21 at 8PM.
Wonder if they'll have Ep 10 online too at the same time?

I'm still holding out hope that Comcast On Demand puts 11 up. I had PlayOn running on my old desktop but have since upgraded and have yet to install it on the new machine since I always had issues with it anyway so COD would be the easiest thing for me.

the last two eps. air next Saturday back-to-back.
I hope Comcast has eps. 11 on-demand. I hate watching eps. on the computer.

I got tired of waiting so I d/l Ep 10 (cough cough) elsewhere and then watched Ep 11 online.
Question for those who have watched already.

My advice after seeing it -- watch it somewhere. You'll be probably lost without it (of course, theoretically, something coukld happen in the finale that negates it all, but I doubt it).

The show is getting better. Still lots of bad choices by the writers and director, but it was more engaging. I like the new hotel manager.

Just finished "Seven Sacrifices" and yeah, it a must watch to keep up with things.
I liked seeing the old night manager back as a one-eyed badass.
This IS getting better (and I can't believe I'm saying that).

You can relive all that has been revealed when Season 1 comes out Sept 7th. It's only $30.49 at Amazon.com.

Seeing as I wasn't able to live through all 13 the first time with the timeslot juggling and then unaired episodes, I'm not sure I even care anymore. There are too many better, new cable shows on for me to even bother (e.g. Burn Notice, Covert Affairs, Eureka, Royal Pains, White Collar, etc.).

I figured I'd post this here early, I was looking through my upcoming recordings on my Tivo and I only have a listing for the 9pm episode(Shadows in the Grave) with the 8pm hour being occupied by a Wheel of Fortune ep. and some Paid Programming. For those in the Detroit area you may remember a few weeks ago when this happened and we ended up not getting an episode. You might want to schedule a recording for these 2 half hour shows just to be on the safe side. And yes I checked and Tivo only shows that one single episode for the next 10 days so I'm not sure if it's a guide thing or just our local NBC station saying screw it.

I guess I can understand if someone doesn't like a show because they don't connect with the characters or story, but blaming the time-slot seems a bit of a stretch to me.

Last night I watched what seems like the last episode of the series on On Demand. The episode seemed to wrap things up. Anyone know if this was indeed the last episode?

I guess I'm not allowed to dislike a show for that reason? NBC basically mistreated this series enough to make me not want to care about it either. I record things over the air so it is rather important to know when a show is on so that my reception can be checked. Once the show was moved to Saturday, they only seemed to sporadically air a new episode. I frankly forgot all about it. By the time I realized I'd missed a few episodes, Hulu no longer had the ones I'd missed posted. Is that a sufficient enough reason for deciding to give up on it? Trust me, I rarely drop a show especially when it is supposed to have a guaranteed limited 13 episode run. That radically appealed to me.
