It must feel disheartening, but I'd still like to know what you thought of it, if you change your mind. :-)

:) I porbably will still write it out. I did that for the last half of last season, though it was for myself since it never sparked discussion. Besides, I would like to be able to go back and read what everyone else thought.

...it'd be nice to be able to download it legally and without the hassle of every other method I've ever tried

I worked in copyrights when I worked at a local museum so I've always been weird about illegal downloads; they aren't worth it to me. (Actually, my two loves, fan fic and icons, rely on violations that make me uneasy, but the blind eye is turned so...) iTunes is exactly the sort of service I'm happy to pay for and thrilled to see. Also? legal download=less explosure to viruses and miscreants.

If I thought it would allow me to cap episodes I enjoyed, I'd pony up the money in a heartbeat. However, I'm pretty sure those things are coded nine ways to Sunday to keep that from happening.
