Poker After Dark, Director's Cut

[theman]

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.

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.
