[QUOTE="Kenny Coyote, post: 197845, member: 102"] Hey [USER=18]@Karin Schill[/USER], I feel the same way. Standard length shows aren't meant to be binge watched anyway. There made to be watched once a week. Then you get to enjoy it for a lot longer! You also have time to think about what you've seen and wonder about what will happen next - so you get to use your imagination. As you said, it's also great to have more time to have the characters develop. Remember when TNT Dallas tried to make 10 or 15 episode seasons? Everything went at such a fast pace that the character development just was not there! There was also no time to react to something, to have the meaning of a major event in the story really sink in.
