BitTorrents arrived on the scene in 2005. The pilot for Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip got leaked onto the web during the summer of 2006. Remember that first bootleg pre-air of Studio 60 that was passed from writer to writer? It was so exciting.
That same year, “pre-airs” flooded the net and we watched nearly the entire American season before it launched. It so cool.
Around the same time, torrents brought me a whole new world of British tv series. I used to feel like I had the contraband watching Shameless, Skins, Jeckyll. It was like being a global television citizen. Although, UK, US and Canada hardly a globe makes. I still haven’t gotten to know much of the Aussie product and there’s that one German cop series that has been discussed and blogs and yet the torrent for it remains elusive. Still, the world is wider and I imagine that twenty ten will widen it still.
I'm working on a new post that'll go up, oh, um. Well. Sometime. Yeah. Sometime.
In the meantime, here's Jill.
