And to pay for it.
The current version of episodic TV, e.g., 24 or Lost aren't getting the rave reviews they got when they started. There is a point where episodic anything becomes stale. I think S&M might be there before we see the first episode.
Think I will wait for the compilation, and if that's too expensive I'll forego it altogether. But the layaway plan won't hook me in.
