Just have to say that as a UK Beasty, I would gladly pay to watch up-to-date Beauty and the Beast episodes on Amazon, Netflix, or on the Showcase or CW websites but we are not allowed to. We get a 'sorry, that's not available in your region' message which sucks. If I had to wait to watch episodes on the 'Watch' Channel, I would die of anticipation and probably know everything that happens in each episode, before I get to watch it. I would have to steer clear of this website, that's for sure, and I wouldn't get to discuss the show with all my fellow Beaties from around the world. I don't know why SKY don't bid for it because we'd probably get to watch it a few days after it airs in the US, like the Flash and Arrow, and I would be happy to wait, but I am too obsessed with this show to wait 4 WEEKS!!! Last night I watched Shotgun Wedding with my son (who also thinks the show is awesome by the way ... and he's 17) on my big screen TV in HD and it was glorious. I don't really want to watch it on a dodgy website that theatens my laptop with a virus everytime I use it but I would rather risk a virus than wait 4 weeks. When this Season finishes, I will probably leave this website alone more or less, checking it occassionally for tidbits, but it's the only way I'll survive until next Summer and Season 4. I am a hopeless case.
If Beauty and the Beast is the most pirated show on the network or even in the US, then surely the simple answer is to make it easier to see, in legitimate ways, all around the world.

Can you believe it, I teared up while viewing that promo DayaBEASTS4! How pathetic am I! Let´s cry together is the last till next year Wow DayaBEASTS4, are we in synch! I do not want to say goodbye to this show or the actors/crew! I am going to be wearing out my DVDs and my backup Amazon episodes after the show wraps finally just to revel in the saga again and again! I also feel an extended trip to Toronto is in my near future just to walk the paths they walked and relive the episodes!

AlisongladaboutSeason4, you made some great points in your post! This just demonstrates some aspects of how mistreated BATB is with lack of control of access, lack of promotion and lack of availability/access to greater areas of viewership. The whole Nielsen process, in my opinion, has been truly a recipe for doom during these more technically enlightened years for truly noteworthy shows. In this great age of technology, all viewing mediums should offer the ability to be counted towards audience assessment in determining the viability of any network or cable show. But I am ranting to the converted within our DEN aren't I?

I am a hopeless case. If Beauty and the Beast is the most pirated show on the network or even in the US, then surely the simple answer is to make it easier to see, in legitimate ways, all around the world. Don't get me wrong, I totally get where Beasties outside the US or Canada are coming from. Having the entire fandom being able to watch together certainly makes the fandom stronger and hence stronger support for the show. I know exactly where you're coming from too about having to wait. Just waiting 4 extra days for me in the US makes it very difficult to remain an active fan but at the same time avoid being spoiled. I can only imagine having to wait weeks or even months. So I have no issue with anyone who watches the show early along with Canada or shortly there after. But what does bug me is how the situation hurts the show. If the pirated copies didn't exist, the only means of watching the show early would be off of either the CW website or Showcase website. Using a VPN to change your country to enable one to watch isn't exactly legit either, but at least it helps the stream count for the show. Hence it's just my personal stance that I do not want to support the pirates. I have the same stance for movies, other tv shows and music. But that's just me. What also bugs the heck out of me is the CW letting Showcase air the show earlier than the CW. It's the CW/CBS studios that controls the ultimate fate of the show. While never proven, it's my strong belief that having Canada air before the US does impact the US ratings indirectly. If they aired on the same day, US beasties would have no need to seek out a means to watch the show early. They would either watch live or watch off of a DVR recording or the CW website, all legit means. There would be no reason for BATB to be the number 1 most watched pirated show in the state of NY if the show aired on the same day as Canada. (I know I've beaten this dead horse before, sorry for the rant.)

Please don't apologize BeastieBoy because many of us have revived that poor horse and beaten it to death a number times over! , should I say the DEN agrees!

Only if you wish.. join us I always watch the episodes when they air on Watch too and any re-runs. I don't suppose the CW care how many people watch in the UK but hopefully it counts towards that huge International following they mention and hopefully it's contributed to the show getting Season 3 and 4.

I was expecting Liam to really try to kill Cat (not just the dream), with the cliff hanger being that Vincent thought she died. In my version of this episode, Vincent would be left in anguish and desperation, thinking Liam had killed Cat. Only to find out at the start of the S3 finale, the next episode, that Reynolds had in fact saved Cat and died saving her. So the actual version of this episode was a bit of let down for me, only because I had let my own imagination runaway with ideas prior to viewing the episode. That's the trouble with these misleading previews. On the CW they always play the next preview right at the end of the show, so it's hard not to watch 'em. Do you think Liam has Cat here?
