Fringe-research

So, I was finishing writing a blog about piracy when it hit me--the latest episode of Fringe might be available online tonight!

Pirate site #1 (http://ganjavideo.com/a/1/fringe) says, no.

Pirate site #2 (http://www.tv-dome.net/?s=fringe) says, no as well (but in a marginally ruder tone of voice)

Legal site (http://www.hulu.com/search?query=Fringe&st=0&fs=) unsurprisingly says, no.

This is all very unacceptable, I've been watching Fringe online for nearly a month, in which time I have seen every episode to date--the last three within a day of their release to people fancy enough to have cable.  Saturday night is Fringe night, right after research blogs--such is the way the well-oiled machine of my life functions. 
Perhaps IMDB can shed some light on the nature of this travesty--it was certainly helpful when I needed to know why Agent Francis (who was killed by a robotic shape-shifter early in the 2nd season) inexplicably appeared in an episode near the beginning of the third season (as it turns out, they had already filmed the episode in the 2nd season, but had never aired it and needed some filler).
Alas, cruelty and lament! IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1119644/episodes#season-3) says that the next episode will not be released for another two weeks.

Didn't television shows follow a strict one-a-week format when I was little?  With none of the two weeks here, three weeks there sporadic nonsense until the off season began?  Maybe I'll try to find out next blog.
