So, we missed the first ep of Big Bang Theory for whatever reason, and wanted to catch up before watching episode two. We checked Hulu and iTunes and found nada, but managed to snag a torrent in about half an hour.

It occurs to me that it might’ve been on CBS.com, but network-based streams have been, in my experience, even more fail-filled than Hulu. I checked anyway: it’s clips only, so apparently CBS’ opinion is that if I miss an episode, I should just wait until they deign to show it again.

Um, fuck that. I long for the days when TV producers actually understand how data works. Let the record show that we tried to buy it before resorting to torrents. Sigh.
