Just started on Discovery. 2 hour season premier. Looks awesome and can't wait to watch it later.

Do you not have cable? Showing a replay at 10 I believe. I'm sure you can also watch it on Discovery's website.

I like it the ordering of it strikes me as somewhat odd.

Is the episode that's on right now the same one as the new one that played at 8?
