Reruns of the show are airing again, two episodes on Friday mornings at 8:00. Still no sign of the season finale, though. :(
So, what's going on? Why was the season finale just pulled with no explanation? Will we ever see it? I imagine it contained references to being the season finale, so it might be weird airing it alongside new episodes if and when they are produced. Speaking of which... didn't Craig say they History Channel had ordered more episodes? Does that still stand?

Thoughts on the latest episode (including the format, topic, and guests)?
I was watching it just fine until last week, the history channle wants me to provide my TV provider, as well as a username and password. I love Craigs show, but I'm not paying for more than just an internet connection to watch it. I'll watch a commercial here or there, that doesn't bother me.
In this episode of Join Or Die, Craig talks with Lars Ulrich, Tom Papa and Alan Light about history's most influential band.

Often I browse through the comments while watching, and it kind of sucks knowing what the winner will be when most of the thread has to do with the process of the show and the panel, not just the conclusion.
