Poker After Dark, Director\'s Cut
 

Was I the only one who felt this episode (to be shown at the end of eaach week) was a bit unnecessarily repetitious?

Also, the player interviews were very short. ...I just felt like a waste of time. Any thoughts?

well, yeah...it's repetitious because...it's recapping what happened that week.

/boggle

honestly, i think they just threw it out there to recap the week, perhaps for those people who can't watch during the week, or perhaps hoping the replay after SNL might grab some casual viewers enough to get them interested enough to watch the next weeks shows.

I was expecting a series of the more interesting hands/discussions with limited commentary from the winner. I'm sure I read somewhere before the show aired that the director's episode would have commentary from that game's winner, rather than just a few minutes of interviews with each player randomly cut into the show.

Pretty boring if you'd watched the previous 5 episodes.

I don't feel so bad about missing it, now that I've read this

Okay goofs, the point of the Director's Cut is for people who dont' want to watch the whole week, you can just watch the 1 episode instead and get a summary of the tournament.

That said, it's totally awful because the commentators are rotten and they cut out the only interesting thing in the show - the table talk.

This week, I'll probably just FF to the Shana bloopers.

This really has to be the WORST idea for a poker episode ever created...second one I've watched now...it's 90% complete rerun of the play with close to no commentary sprinkled in with a few interviews here and there for less than 1 minute each usually...totally pointless.

Even if I missed the week's episodes, I'd find the director's cut a bit boring and sometimes confusing (esp. if I hadn't seen all the hands play out over the week). ...It's really quite pathetic imo. Not much of a real "Directors Cut"...just boring rerun material......

arghhhhhhhhhh!

Was anybody else extremely annoyed by the music they inserted in a lot of the replays of the hands they showed in this directors cut? Some of it was just downright horrible in my opinion and quite annoying. It just didn't seem to fit with what was going on and I'd much rather hear the table chatter anyways. I have to agree, the directors cut is kind of weak right now.
