Seriosuly just give us a believeable reason and end this.

The first quote is pestering, plain and simple.
Anyway, lastsummoner wants reasons so here goes;
With the Olympics in full swing Discovery felt that they should wait until it has finished as their target audience is more likely to be watching that.
Discovery is planning an advertising campaign for its shows during or after the Olympics and feels that it would be better to air the new shows after the adverts have started.
Discovery doesn't want to waste time screening new episodes in the middle of the holiday season. They've decided to put them back a few weeks for when people have come back off holiday, without any money left, and are therefore are more likely to watch the show.
Discovery has pushed the shows back a few weeks as by this time more new episodes will be ready, or almost ready, to air. This might allow them to air several weeks of new episodes during sweeps, or as a way to satisfy the advertisers who may not be too happy at buying airtime when the episodes screened are all re-runs.
The current method of airing episodes in blocks may be putting off viewers as well, since they may not always been aware of when new episodes will be aired - and frankly are unlikely to bother looking when it can be a few months between new episodes. Discovery may be attempting to hold off so they can air more new episodes over a longer period of time to help viewing figures, and also so as not to disappoint fans who may miss new episodes simply because they are not aware of when they are going to be aired.
The episodes in question may need to be re-edited after problems with the original tapes.
They may still be waiting for authorisation to show footage of secured facilities if they have filmed in them.
Shows can't be aired without the signature of one man...who unfortunately laughed at Jamie's facial hair and who isn't expected to be able to hold a pen until a week before the new dates.
The subliminal messages Discovery places into its programs were, for some reason, missing from the tapes and have to painstakingly placed back in before airing.
The Aliens who've taken Discovery over as the third stage in their plan for the destruction of mankind are still trying to work out how to use the video recorders.
Discovery's CEO took the tapes with him on holiday, not realising they would be needed. No one is willing to call the boss up, so they have to wait for him to get back.
The Illuminati want people to get worked up by not airing the shows. In reality all the episodes for the rest of this season, and most of the next, are ready to air...they just don't want us to see them yet....
They put the episodes back because they can.
