I think Phil is right on this one, but I can't figure out why he's so intent on arguing the point. It's an Internet forum -- who cares if some guy in another state (country?) disagrees whether some kid in Utah is a punk or not. Don't we all have better things to do with our lives?

Disagree - the TV episodes can wait until the emotions are less raw.
No one is forcing anybody to watch anything. Why do you want to force people not to be able to watch something? Why can't people be understanding and patient? Why do you insist that nobody be able to watch a tv show because something happened that upset you? Again, if you're too upset to watch the show, don't watch it. Don't force everyone else to miss it.

John and I'm quite shocked to be the first person to vote as such. John captures a sense of hunger that the other three don't in their writing, which makes it far more interesting to read. Not that the other three aren't good to read as well.
You like that long boring monologue that goes on for chapters and chapters?

I heard the torrents didn't work well, and usually you would try to download something but after 2-3 hours of downloading it would suddenly 'fail', or that the video would be very herky-jerky.
That's not even close. With a decent connection, you can torrent an episode of an hour-long tv show in about 10 minutes or less. And if you get the ones marked EZTV or ETTV, it's going to be practically HD-quality.

Evolution was only discussed in AP Biology in high school, which I didn't take, so N/A.
In college, I took one most Biology course. The professor was a redneck who told us "I know none of yall believe in evolution, but when you'll change your minds when I show you what changed my mind." I don't think there were actually any evolution deniers in the class (they didn't speak up if there were), and his explanation of evolution probably wasn't really enough to convince any non-believer, but it was one of those required courses for any Arts/Sciences major, so a lot of people in the class just didn't want to be there.
