I hope we get an explanation for:

a) Why these episodes are delayed;
b) Why Discovery can't put the episodes up on the web to make it up to us.

I signed up just to express my anger and disappointment in this thread. To be advertising the new episode for almost two weeks and then pull it 85 minutes before it's going to air while still advertising it is COMPLETELY unacceptable. Mad Instead we get to watch half of the pirate special? Great.

Everybody who saw one of the advertisements for the viral episode and then tuned in to watch it only to find it had been pulled at the last second deserves an explanation. The episode is obviously finished, seeing as Discovery has been advertising it for the last two weeks.

Please do us a favor and air it at 1 am, or if not then, tomorrow at 10 when the premiere episode usually re-runs. We deserve it.

Frustrating, but understandable -- assuming this is an Olympics conflict.

Pretty poorly handled, though.

I don't see why we should calm down. If they had given even a full day warning then I would maybe support a "be reasonable" arguement. But No they never even publicly hinted at this.

As many have said at 8:50 there was a upcoming ep ad. There should of been a Pop up or front page notice on this site But no. I had to come to the fourms to find out.

They never gave a timely warning as such they deserve every bit of anger they get.

well i didnt swear in my post at all, i just suggested that they did this on purpose just to cause more hype over the "missing" episodes it worked because I too have never been on this site prior to this night.

How is advertising an episode for two weeks and then pulling it 85 minutes before it airs with no public announcement "understandable"?

It was not just poorly handled, it was extremely poorly handled.

I have never posted a message in any forum ever, however I feel compelled to do so tonight. Needless to say I am very disappointed to not see the new episode. Obviously, life goes on, however I don't think the "olympics" theory works. After all, the olympics aren't exactly a surprise, and there isn't anything of real substance taking place tonight anyway (apologies in adavance to any fans of sports taking place tonight).

I think this shows a high degree of unprofessionalism on behalf of DSC, and while we are all somewhat angry/disappointed, I would be doubly so if I were a sponsor who I am sure paid good money to advertise on the show. For all I know, someone could have been kicking off a big new advertising campaign tonight during the show.

This is just bad business on DSC's part.

Incidentally, my blood pressure came down quite bit by finding this forum and cofirming what I thought must have been some kind of technical glitch. Thanks to all posters...
