Why the hell have E4 waited until now (well, 4 weeks ago) to start showing the last series of Smallville? It can't be that much cheaper to show it a bit earlier.

The next series is on in the US already. E4 used to be only a few months behind the US schedules, but this year they've just ruined it for everyone, which means all the people with broadband got bored waiting and downloaded it all from torrent sites...

Good one, E4.

True, and everyone else with a fast enough internet connection is doing the same. But due to the incompetence of the government and BT to roll out a half decent broadband service in this country, loads of people just haven't got a fast enough connection yet...

The fact is that nowadays you can get a perfect quality streaming video of shows like these hours after they broadcast in america, and more and more people are starting to do that, what with abc and other companies offering free streams.

And the only reason people do this is because of the fact that shows like smallville are broadcasted in the uk a whole year later. If they did it a week later like they did with lost or 24 last season then internet piracy on these shows would definitely drop.

Because I don't know about you, but the fact that the show is readily available to me on the internet definitely means that i'm not waiting a year for the luxury of watching it on a slightly bigger tv screen.

It's not even as if they have it very well advertised on their site. It's hidden away somewhere on a micro-site and even that isn't up-to-date.

Most of the forum members on their Smallville forums seem to be torrenting it too, in protest.

Yeah, E4 really dropped the ball. I didn't even know the series had started on E4 until the 3rd episode. Fortunately I had already seen the first episode online and so just downloaded the 2nd one.

If we have to wait a similar amount of time for the next season, I might just forget E4 completely. That's if they have the rights to the next series.
