I haven't checked the official site in a while but the lack of an Episode 4 is annoying (perhaps not as annoying as this blog entry title which might lead people to believe it was out already).
It makes me wonder what Mr Fry was thinking when he agreed to the 2 week schedule in the first place. I, like many others, presumed that, given the concrete release dates, the entire series had been pre-recorded and was awaiting dissemination into the hivemind. In a way this kind of annoyed me though because I felt that there was no way for the series to adapt to how difficult or easy the previous episodes were considered.
The fact that they are delayed seems to indicate that at least some portion of each episode is recorded relatively close to the release date, which is of course good news. However, given that Mr Fry has on numerous occasions mentioned that he leads a life so full as to render an 'evening in front of the television' into something special, and also given that I'm sure he has at least one person whose job it is to make sure he gets where he's going and does what's planned on a daily basis. It becomes all the more surprising that he didn't, at the outset, realise that perhaps every two weeks was a little ambitious.
That's just how it appears to me, on the outside, looking in.
