Notes

  1. In order to circumvent Korean laws that prevent commercial breaks in the middle of an episode, what would previously have been aired as single 70 minute episodes are now being repackaged as two 35 minute episodes, with two episodes being shown each night with a commercial break between the two.[1]
gollark: The majority of active members know each other fairly well.
gollark: We should probably aim to... not do this... but it's hard to actually encourage sane well-reasoned debate *even if you don't agree with the other person*.
gollark: Mostly people just seem to want you to vaguely parrot popular opinions.
gollark: I genuinely don't think people actually care much about coherency/well-foundedness in most contexts.
gollark: No.
