I suspect there are limits on what say the CW has over Showcase. IMHO, they never should have allowed Showcase to air S3 four days earlier to begin with, or even one day early in the case of S2. Maybe Showcase did the CW a favor by delaying the premiere of S3 to be more in sync, but now since it's just the last episode of S3, neither side cares that much. I also suspect it's just independent programming decisions made by the CW and Showcase. Austin's tweet was to thank twitter fans for having @cwbatb surpass 100k followers, the timing is just coincidental. Anyway, I agree with jefferen. Good for Canada, bad for the US and hence not an overall good thing for BATB. I do suspect the US ratings for 313 will be hurt because of this, which is a shame. Heck, I might even break my own rule and watch the finale early myself instead of its air date on the CW as I always do. Don't know if I can wait 2 extra weeks. BeastieBoy, you know that I am with you on that rule but man oh man I don't know if I can hang on either. Could you share how to get Showcase? I have been searching the web and came up empty. I'm desperate for the option, can you point me in the right direction? You can PM me if that would be best. I use a vpn service to get access to both us and American programming. It's cheap and easy and gives so much more programming for example in Netflix.

Thank you my Beasties @luna76 and missingalias! I will check into both options to see which will be best for me. Good Morning @luna76 and missingalias! I took a brief look into the options and neither will be feasible for me so I'll just wait patiently for CW viewing on Thursday and lend my 1st time viewing to the audience count for the US. Man, I would really love to have a provider who has Showcase as an option! Maybe I can start pitching this to some carriers as an incentive to increase their customer base! Revenue increase always gets the corporate suits' attention! Look for my posts after the show concludes. Love you guys so for making the suggestions though!

There are many websites online that people will upload the episode within a couple hours after it airs onto the website so people can watch:)

I am a UK Beastie and we are up to Episode 3x08 Shotgun Wedding (Tonight 10pm GMT) on the Watch Channel but I have seen up to Episode 12 online. Thankfully, as it has been aired after the 9pm watershed, Watch have not seen fit to cut any lines or scenes from the episodes this season. I am just so relieved that I will be able to watch the last Episode on Monday morning sometime. It's a Bank Holiday in the UK and I will have to go back to work Tuesday after the School Summer Holidays. I think that for Season 4, Showcase and the CW need to get their acts together and show the episodes simultaneously. Of course it is going to hurt the US ratings if all the fans have watched the show online before it's shown on the CW. The more rabid Beasties will watch both but the more casual viewers may not bother to watch it twice. Although, if it's really as good as Jason is saying, hopefully the Canadian buzz will build and spread and there may be a greater audience for the finale in the US as a result. If you were a fan of Season 1 but drifted away from the show in Season 2 but found out Vincent and Cat were going to wed in this episode, curiosity and nostalgia might lead you to tune in. We really need that wedding!!!

But I cannot watch pirated videos.

The DEN awaits the return or influx of new Beasties and Beasts to our greatly underestimated GEM!

Unfortunately (or fortunately) BATB is one of the most pirated shows out there. There was a study saying in the state of NY it was actually the number 1 most watched pirated show. So very soon after it airs on Showcase, there are unofficial ways to watch on-line, which many beasties do.
It's a sore point for me personally, because I think it ultimately does hurt the show. At least if one streams off of the CW website or the Showcase website using a VPN, the stream count is recorded to the benefit of the show. But if one watches a pirated copy, it only benefits the viewer and the site that is housing these illegal copies, not the show. Austin actually tweeted once how the piracy is hurting the show.
I personally do know how to view the show early if I want to, but choose to wait for the CW's airing because of my own principals. I can understand Int'l beasties who have to wait for it to air in their home country, but as I am in the US, I can wait 4 extra days. In this case, it's really hard to wait two extra weeks as I know very few here on this board will wait that long. I will want to discuss the finale with the rest of you.
Having said that, if I watch early, I'll probably watch off of the Showcase website using a VPN, so at least the viewing helps with the official Canadian streaming numbers for the show.

Well said BeastieBoy and it is the soul reason why I cannot bring myself to watch the fan posted online episodes. I always watch on CW, Netflix or Amazon which I preordered. I want to support my loves at BATB and that has to be honestly demonstrated! I'm a die hard fan but at my core I am hopelessly a true child of Krypton! LOL

I honestly don't know how to feel about the promo for episode 13 yet again no clips of them getting married like they did in the other episode and I find that very strange if there's not going to be a wedding I just wish they would say so and with this promo again even though Cat's saying to Vincent not to do it I honestly don't feel the passion in her voice and again don't see how they if they are going to fit in a justifyable wedding for Vincat because it look's like another action packed episode with little time for anything else. Sorry to be a downer maybe it's becuase it is the end of season 3 and it will be another long hiatus until season 4 comes on and we have a few episodes left in the UK but when that comes to a end that's it for us too until year, I'm just not feeling very optomistic about a wedding or to be honest CA and everyone else's tweet about Vincat chemistry getting better and better inseason 4 after the lack of it in this season I seriously hope that it does. I know it sound's like I haven't enjoyed season 3 but I have but for me it was focused to much on the action part if I want to see that every week I'll watch something like Arrow or The Flash but BATB is not known as that kind of show and I hope we do get a wedding and more Vincat that resembles season 1 in affection terms as if not I've a feeling that some fan's won't be tuning in for a season 4 and that would be a shame as the cast do a brilliant job and deserve much more credit than what they're given. I personally would love to Jennifer and Sherri to write a few episodes again as they knew how to write romance in such a great way.
